We were in the nearby Lilac Grand Sharm, swam to Melton, talked with tourists. According to Melton reviews, it is an economy in everything, especially in food, the wind in February is very possible there, you should not go to this hotel in February, wait for hot offers, buy a hotel closer to the old city, and best of all in the windless bay of Ras Um El Sid.

The price is captivating (585 USD for 7 nights) and the sea is within walking distance with a live reef.

The reviews are not contradictory - both the reef and the bay are good and questions about food and rooms. What are your other options?

"Swim in the direction of Lilac Grand Charm," - And I would advise you to swim in the opposite direction.

The Cyrene Grand Hotel is located on a ledge of a headland where stronger winds and waves are possible.

We didn’t even consider expensive hotels, we still have to pay for a transfer from Belarus to Kyiv. Up to 650 c.u. chose this one, bribed the beach, where you do not have to fight for sun loungers, and the close sea for snorkeling.

We stayed at this hotel in late April three years ago. The hotel is cozy, the area is small, everything is close, everything is comfortable and nice. The food is average, nothing special, but you can't call it shit. Rooms are also average for Egypt. The reef is good, there are enough fish, we saw stingrays and a huge grouper. I will not say anything about the wind, because it was not winter.

Were there in December. Food without frills, rather monotonous, but were not hungry. The comfort of the room depends on the amount of American money transferred during registration. But even here there are nuances. When you check in, be sure to check that there is no door to the next room. These are former family rooms. If the neighbors come across cheerful, then you may not be able to relax. You can hear everything the neighbors are doing through that door. The staff is very friendly. The reef is wonderful. There was a strong wind for two days and the panton was closed in the afternoon, but some brave ones still swam. Walking distance to Soho. Walk 20-30 minutes. I rode for the reef and the sea and was very pleased.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The trip was unplanned, we wanted in March, but my husband is suddenly given a vacation, so we fly.

When we swam in the direction of Siwa (ras bob), almost every day we saw a hefty moray eel, a couple of times a turtle, Napoleon, clown fish live there, there are a lot of fish, but the reef itself is poor. If you sail towards Sirena, the reef is very beautiful. We sailed to the pantones of the Baron and Sensatori. We saw a large grouper, stingrays, moray eels, small reef sharks, a huge cornax. We swam for two and a half hours. If you want to swim far and long and see a lot of things, then it is better to do it in a wetsuit. Unless you are a walrus of course)

Is there a shower on the beach, when leaving the beach there is a foot shower? Is the bar "Pergola" open? Where do you get beach towels?

There are two showers near the pools at the 5th and 4th buildings, and a third near the issue of towels. This is opposite the 4th building on the shore.

When you turn in two towels, make sure that you give two cards. There were cases that they gave one

food on the range is not so much, but tasty, you can take a supplement. There is enough food.
the staff is one of the most friendly (maybe because they gave a couple of times a dollar)
give a couple of times in the canteen 1 dollar, they will serve you at the highest level,
by sea - napaleon. turtle, once I was lucky to see three eagle rays. I even filmed it on video.
in Egypt was 9 times. the hotel entered the top three in the sea.
and you will not pay for GREAT.

This hotel is located in a windy town, away from Naamabey and the Old City. Also, the hotel rating is very low, so I would not recommend.

Alas, February ... Although many in the reviews write that if in other hotels a red flag hangs nearby, then here it is not.

The reef is really gorgeous there, and protected from the wind, which is very important at this time. Walking distance to Soho Square, leisurely 15 minutes walk. Food .... it's all for an amateur, whoever likes what.

By sea, it’s just wonderful: both the reef and the fish delight (groupers, yes! And Napoleon also visited)!
Were 3 years ago January-February - the wind was, but we swam all the time. But then it was an abnormally cold winter for Egypt. So I think it will be warmer and the conditions for swimming will be normal.
Food - really weak for 5: you had to come early, as the Arabs ate everything (it's good that they get up late and had time to refresh themselves before swimming). I described everything in the review (see the photo of the hotel):
https://www.turpravda.com/eg/sharm_el_sheyh/Melton_Beach-h16873-r157541.html
Go, don't be afraid - a very comfortable hotel for snorkeling: everything is close! I would go again with confidence!
P.S. Not a bad promenade by the sea towards the Baron Hotel. There sometimes catches wi-fi (we received SMS without a password).

Thanks!!! The photos are very impressive. So far, the mood is very positive. In December 2017 we were in Sonesta Beach. Compared to the beach of that hotel and the reef, here (in all photos) is much more interesting. We will save on excursions, before we specially took an excursion on a yacht with three stops, dives and lunch in the Ras Mohammed reserve. Everything is in place here.

I offer. Were very happy with the reef last September. About the hotel itself previously said, food, rooms, serving - so-so. But RIFFF! Hotel PROTECTION from wind and waves. If you swim to the left, you will swim to a large sandy meadow, where very often, especially in the morning, mantles and stingrays swim, seeing the grouper there. Untouched coral gardens begin even further. An octopus and moray eel were filmed near the shore. One or two Napoleons were constantly coming, and many more, you can't list them all. Needless to say, in the morning a dozen or more boats, intro divers and snorkellers come to this.
This is an economical option, you do not need to go anywhere else. But the water in winter can be cool, buy wetsuits, albeit the cheapest.
By the way, here are a couple of videos from Melton Reef
