Arrived yesterday, was 7 days. Lived on the first line. In Egypt already was almost everywhere. In general, you can safely relax in the hotel at its prices, because it is no worse than the others, if you don’t go there with the goal of walking and noticing what you don’t like. And besides, do not forget that this is 4 *, which the hotel definitely justifies. Who wants impeccability - there are Savoy, Sierra, the same Hiltons for 5 *: save money and go ahead. Now specifically.
Minuses:
- the main restaurant of the first line: the menu is stable, as in an army canteen. The whole week. Only lunch dishes on the grill change. No, I didn't get tired of their food, but if you compare it with a second-line restaurant, the difference is huge. Therefore, I always had breakfast on the first line, dined as always, and always dined on the second line. This is a good compensation for the indicated minus.

- places on the beach. They were enough. But for lovers of the best places, come early and occupy them. The beach, as for me, is not enough, although they will not be able to expand it. There are, however, pools, but honestly - I did not use it, I will not say.
- pontoon. The bad thing is not that he is alone, but that on one side of him (albeit behind the buoys) boats are parked. Solariums were not seen in the water, but the exhaust gases, when the boat departs, do not add joy.
Pros:
- a good level of service and attitude of the staff: the rooms are cleaned cleanly, there are cheerful sociable guys at the bars and restaurants, they are not imposed with offers of various services (water sports, massage, etc. ).
- good reef at the hotel. To be honest, I read the reviews "gorgeous reef" and expected more, but this is with my pampered reefs (I saw much cooler). For those who like to swim with a mask (and even divers from the hotel) - the reef is really good: there are rays, a lot of fish (no moray eels and turtles).
- for those who like to have fun - good animation: from charging at 10 am near the beach to the contest "Miss (Mr. ) Hotel", etc. The animation team is top notch.
- free Wi-Fi at the reception (500 MB) (I even took it in my room).
- a gym and a sauna with a jacuzzi are pretty good for warming up and dispersing excess weight; ) .
- near Soho Square for lovers of evening walks, shopping, etc.
Basically, everything. I did not notice the difference in the attitude of the staff towards Europeans and Russian speakers (which is sometimes angrily indicated in the reviews). I did not feel the influence of the nearby airport, which is also sometimes written about. The neighboring construction site, despite the daily work, did not bother me at all.
Conclusion - Hilton Sharks Bay fully works out the money you pay for it. Looking for chic - you are not here. If you want to relax quietly for a reasonable price - it's pretty good here.
