Recommended for a budget holiday! Good location, 2 good beaches and delicious food!!! Great location of the hotel, went down the steps and already in the center of Naama Bay. Settled immediately upon arrival in a good room at no extra charge. The room is spacious, but old with a pleasant view from the balcony and the sunset.

Recommended for a budget holiday! Good location, 2 good beaches and delicious food!!!
Great location of the hotel, went down the steps and already in the center of Naama Bay.
Settled immediately upon arrival in a good room at no extra charge.
The room is spacious, but old with a pleasant view from the balcony and the sunset. Toiletries and hair dryer are available. Cleaning was done every day. Minus - weak light in the room.
The hotel is small, cozy, 2 swimming pools, a slide, sports grounds ...only everything is old already.
The staff is good, friendly and welcoming. Very good and attentive guys in the restaurant, Mohamed the bartender will make any cocktail, the security guard is kindness itself, there are good guys at the reception, workers and those dates from the palm tree got me)))
Wi-Fi only at the reception and then not always...as in all hotels))
This hotel has 2 good beaches:
- Calimera - 15 minutes walk, can be reached by hotel bus...beds are comfortable, clean...but the sea is a bit shallow;
- "Farsha" beach...
considered one of the best in Sharm, 2 calls: sand and reef, the sunbeds here are old, but the sea here is gorgeous.
Hotel buses run regularly from morning to evening...if you don't have enough space, another bus will arrive immediately.
There is no bar on the beach - this is a minus.
The food here is good...delicious, just like home. The choice is large: salads, vegetables, side dishes, different types of meat ...every day they did something on the grill ...a large selection of sweets, always fresh and tasty fruits.
Beautiful view from the restaurant on Naama.
Spirits - vodka, beer, gin, whiskey, rum, brandy...Egyptian standard...will make a cocktail.
Animation is normal. Happy darts, aerobics..
in the evening - an hour of children's animation and an hour of shows, contests ...but not enough hours (
In general, the hotel is not bad ...I really liked it here!

I want to express my deep gratitude to all the staff for my vacation. Especially Mustafa, very attentive, friendly and has an approach to every person. I really liked the hotel, the animators always find entertainment, an evening fire show, a restaurant with perfect staff, every guy has a sincere smile, and it's so nice.

The rooms are in good condition, there is hot water, there is Wi-Fi at the reception, there is also oil from Adam near the reception. Bartenders work at the bar, they are also always in a great mood. I wish you positive tourists and prosperity!

We were at the hotel from 22 to 29.01. 2.3 + 1 per person, it came out $ 250, we arrived at the hotel at 7 o'clock in the morning, check-in at two, treated our daughter with a lunch box and everything when the dining room opened, my wife and I went to get coffee and some sweets, no one said anything, closer to 12 o’clock for $ 10 they went to check in to room 560 and 562 in the back building, it seems to be considered new, the rooms are excellent, but tired, large 560 with a balcony, 562 without a balcony, rooms are adjacent, which turned out to be very convenient, checked, everything worked.

The next day, hot water disappeared at 560, and cold at 562, which is why it turned out that the adjacent rooms were very convenient, they turned to the reception, yes, the locksmith came, rattled something good-good and went, there was no water, so and no.
There is no housekeeping in the rooms. Towels are issued without cards once for all time and the room service gives them out, that is, if you are lucky to find it, you will be with a towel from the first day, there were people who got towels only on the third day. The food is basically normal, there is no variety, but no one was hungry, but somewhere they even took real crucian carp, smelling of mulyak, they gave him lunch and dinner for four days, but they didn’t eat it, there was chicken, mackerel, in general, normal, with alcohol was not a problem at all. And what a view from the dining room during the day - all Naama Bay is at a glance, and at night everything is beautiful in the lights. The hotel has two beaches - one near the hotel is sandy, it is shallow, the second - in Hadaba minced meat, like a museum of old things, it's cool, the stairs are like 144 steps, my daughter thought, but they walked normally, the coral is poor, but there. Entry into the sea has a pontoon and a gentle entry of sand. The sea is amazing, we love it.

I came here before, I liked everything, friendly and attentive staff, spacious rooms, Wi-Fi, and a great location, as well as the beaches they take to (before there was El Fanar, this time Minced). This time I came with my little daughter, in the early morning they settled right away! No surcharges! The room is spacious, clean, everything works and a view of the pool! The fruit plate in the evening in the room was a pleasant surprise.

The fruit plate in the evening in the room was a pleasant surprise. There was no refusal in anything at the bar, they always made milkshakes, and I was a little stronger. The cuisine is delicious, Egyptian, just waiting for my favorite Malocheya. The water is warm and I always had internet. Transfer to the beach is very punctual! Thank you for making me feel at home! Special thanks to Mustafa (receptionist), Walid (bar), and of course to everyone who made my vacation with my daughter very calm and enjoyable! I miss you very much and will be back soon : -) Health to your hands.

In general, a good hotel in the center of Naama Bay, just behind the hotel is the Genena citi shopping center, yes, the rooms were never cleaned, towels were changed upon request, but we were not particularly bothered by the room, we only slept there, there was hot water, wi-fi was, albeit weak, but this is a troika, sending messages was not a problem.

Food as everywhere in Egypt, the hotel is almost full, mostly Russians. The sea is fresh, slightly windy, a lot of mosquitoes and flies, but in general, we were satisfied with the rest.

The territory is not well-groomed, there is dirt everywhere. The room is big, but the plumbing is dead. We didn’t flush the toilet, we waited half a day for a plumber. Towels and beds are gray, the only plus is the Farsha beach.

Recommend for a budget stay! We were brought to the hotel at 5 am, but settled as much as at 13-00. Check-in here takes place from 14-00. The bracelet was put on at 10-00 so that you could go to the beach and not waste time. Luggage can be left at the reception. The room is spacious, but everything needs to be repaired (closets are torn, curtains are torn, the faucet is leaking, air conditioning is not working, etc.

The room is spacious, but everything needs to be repaired (closets are torn, curtains are torn, the faucet is leaking, air conditioning is not working, etc. ), and there are no towels, you have to ask for everything. All issues are resolved, we must immediately go and agree on everything and remind! There is a hair dryer.
It was never cleaned during the holiday.
The hotel is small, cozy, well-groomed territory, but everywhere around there is dirt and old everything, 2 pools, there are 2 small slides, 2 beaches.
Great location of the hotel, went down the steps and already in the center of Naama Bay.
The staff is diverse, one smiles and the other is rude.
Wi-Fi only at the reception, it's better to buy a SIM card for $10 upon arrival. Enough for the rest.
This hotel has 2 good beaches, which gives it a very big plus. Calimera - 10 minutes walk, you can take a hotel bus and Farsha beach, considered one of the best in Sharm, 2 entries: sand and reef. The sea is amazing here. Hotel buses run regularly from morning to evening... if you do not have enough space, another bus will arrive immediately. Both beaches are well maintained. Beach towels must be taken at the reception. Whether it is possible to change them I don’t know, I took one for the whole vacation.
There is no bar on the beach - this is a minus.
Power is a solid trio. The choice is very small, but there was always something to eat. Chicken, beef, fish every day... once they gave the liver. Vegetable salads, fruits, sweets, soup was always for lunch. Cooking delicious!
Alcohol - vodka, beer, gin, whiskey, rum, brandy. Standard set in Egypt. They will make a cocktail if you ask.
Animation is weak. There is practically nothing. During the day I didn’t see them at all, and in the evening they are only doing something from 22-23. After dinner, there is nothing to do on the territory.
The hotel is good for a budget stay. Who is going for what? The sea and the location closes the rest of all the minuses of the hotel!

The hotel was chosen for lack of a better option, everything was sold out (our dear Russians who went on vacation in lockdown)), they previously rested at 4-5 *, the difference is mega significant, everything is extremely modest, simple, sad.

The hotel was chosen for lack of a better option, everything was sold out (our dear Russians who went on vacation in lockdown)), they previously rested at 4-5 *, the difference is mega significant, everything is extremely modest, simple, sad.
From the front in the photo, the hotel seems very nice, but inside... In the room in the bathroom there was 1 small towel, 1 large and 1 beach towel, and there are two of us, a mess, right? The bed didn’t seem to have been changed after previous visitors, but they just made it, or they just made it poorly, we won’t know this anymore, the light over the table with the mirror didn’t work, the refrigerator wildly froze all the contents, there were two small bars of soap in the bathroom, a roll of used half of toilet paper, traces of the previous contents were noticed in the soap dish for liquid soap and that's it.
Our check-in was late at night, so rolls, local cheese and sausage, water were brought to the room. Thank you for this.
It may seem to you that I find fault and knew what I was doing by buying 3 *, but I just warn you.
We were cleaned a couple of times, and we realized this only by slippers transferred from one place to another, and a clean trash can, but since the cleaner was very nice and friendly, this compensated.
At the pool bar, reception and in the dining room, local drinks are poured (I recommend hibiscus, I'm not sure if it's really, but it's very tasty), cola, sprite, fanta, alcohol and alcoholic cocktails.
In the dining room they feed the same type, but if you remember that the hotel is 3 star, then it’s normal, there has always been either chicken or fish, meat, potatoes, pasta, various carcass vegetables, boiled, fresh, soup, etc. Sweets were given out in portions, you can’t take much for one person, sweets also didn’t shine with variety.
On the plus side, they cooked something on the grill for every dinner.
If your task is to visit the sea, relax, while paying a little money - a variant of the norms.
The main pluses are the location on Naama Bay, go down the stairs from the hotel down - and you are in the epicenter of nightlife in Sharm, you can drive to the Old Market for 50 pounds ($ 3).
And the reef beach of Faraan, the famous Instagram beach, when you see it for the first time, you are stunned by the incredible beauty. This beach is taken by bus for free several times a day.
For those who cannot swim, it is also comfortable, the coast goes very smoothly into the depth, there is enough distance for swimming.
They also take you to the sandy beach, but I recommend walking to it, it’s faster and you don’t depend on the bus schedule.
There are no free bars from hotels on the beaches, only for money, keep in mind, but you can’t bring your own on the sandy beach either, no food, no water, there are guards checking bags, you can still somehow hide the water, but no more.
On the way to the sandy beach, Antonio Cleopatra's shop with fruits and sweets, for $ 2.3 you can buy a delicious mango.
For souvenirs and local products, I recommend Mango Market - fixed very low prices! (Before him, they were in Carrfur, so it’s even more expensive there). Next to the shop there is a seafood stall, fried, steamed, boiled 1 kg of shrimp for $14 and seafood mix for $12 + special sauce. Unbearably delicious!

We are from 27.10. 2021 - 03.11. 2021.7 nights for UAH 9.900. for two. I think that having paid for flights there and back, so accommodation and meals at the hotel are a bonus.

We are from 27.10. 2021 - 03.11. 2021.7 nights for UAH 9.900. for two. I think that having paid for flights there and back, so accommodation and meals at the hotel are a bonus. I say at once: the main thing is to experience the shock of the first day.
Arrived at 07:30 am, breakfast is not included, bracelets are not given. We walked, not to wait for the shuttle, to the sandy beach (7 minutes walk), located next to the beach of Marina Sharm. Beach with a gentle entrance, the bay is a number of beaches from different hotels. Interesting, full, crowded, as if I had visited Yalta.
We returned to the hotel by shuttle at 10:30, put on bracelets and gave the room the second floor. Since I had read about all the shortcomings of the hotel in advance, I immediately found a cleaner on the floor, asking to change the bed (as it turned out, something was replaced and something was not). To the cleaner - $ 1 for diligence. In the toilet, without flushing the toilet cistern - calling the receptionist, sent the head of the farm, who called the plumber - did. Head of the farm - $ 1 per organization.
The wife wiped all the surfaces in the room, the floor - and the room is ready to use. There was no drinking water in the room, you need to go to the bar and collect, so as not to run around with bottles, as children, went to the nearest store, for $ 1.5 bought 11 liters of water, and closed the issue with water for drinking and brushing. The air conditioner worked, the shower worked, the calf did not turn on, was not interested. Everything in the room works, you can live.
Lunch is miserable, meat - sliced fish, pasta and salad, something else there is not interesting to me. Dinner was a little better, there was stewed meat, grilled fish, side dishes, salads. Breakfast as in all hotels: omelet, beans, puree, salads, coffee, tea, pastries (not enough).
Instant coffee. The Internet is only at the reception, as few people, you can watch youtube. It is advisable to buy a SIM card Vodafone or another operator at the airport and have a permanent Internet. I was not surprised by the animation, I don't know, I don't drink alcohol, I don't use the pool, I can't give an estimate.
We went to this hotel to drive to the beautiful El Fanar beach with a cool reef. On the day of arrival, it was announced that that day they would visit another beach - Farsha, near El Fanar, near the hotel Faraana. Take the shuttle 15 minutes This beach has a sandy entrance from the shore and has a pier. Corals and reef are beautiful. Bring diving yachts with excursions here. Corals (shoes) are needed, because there are sea urchins, hooked, a little pleasant. There are no changing rooms, toilet and shower on this beach. Sunbeds 2/3 in the sun, wooden, old. Sand with garbage. Bar is paid, instant coffee 25 pounds or $ 2 (50 UAH for a disposable cup of instant coffee)). We did not return for lunch, nothing. A little above the beach there is a cafe "Farsha", where at lunch they prepare delicious pizza, chickens, you can have a snack for 10-15 $. In the evening seafood is prepared.
Sharm Cliff Hotel is located in the Naama Bay area, which is full of tourists and a variety of restaurants, shops and boutiques.
You can walk in the evenings, drink a good espresso (25 pounds or $ 2). Mangoes for $ 2-3 / kg (yellow - very tasty, green mangoes for $ 1.5 / kg tastes like some kind of pumpkin), cherries for $ 5 / kg (very tasty fruit), sweet pomegranates for $ 1 / kg. There are fish restaurants such as Mahoney, Ali Baba, where you can dine on seafood (1 kg of shrimp $ 10).
I recommend exchanging dollars for Egyptian pounds in exchange offices or ATMs, it is cheaper to go out. For example, lunch in Minced meat (espresso, pizza, cola) costs 210 pounds ($ 13.65), and in dollars it costs $ 15.
The difference between 3 * from 4 and 5 * (was in any hotel, so I'm guided): in 3 * there is no proper (not to say perfect) cleanliness of the territory, rooms, dining room. Very old room renovations, washed towels and bed linen (including spools). Rooms are not cleaned daily, towels and bed linen are not changed.
There is not much choice of food, no private beach (lead to their periodic change), no snacks on the beach, water, coffee, tea, volleyball, there is a possibility of not having a toilet and shower, there are old sunbeds, many in a small area beach to bring guests from 2 hotels). In 3 * I do not recommend bringing parents, loved ones, it would be a little embarrassing if you were in a higher level hotel. Common to all hotels, regardless of stardom: there may be boors among the staff and may not be delicious cooking (depending on the chef).
Conclusion: this hotel is just to spend the night (if everything will work in the room), "freeze the worm" in the capital and escape to the sea, and in the evening take a walk on Naama Bay.

There are fish restaurants such as Mahoney, Ali Baba, where you can dine on seafood (1 kg of shrimp $ 10).
I recommend exchanging dollars for Egyptian pounds in exchange offices or ATMs, it is cheaper to go out. For example, lunch in Minced meat (espresso, pizza, cola) costs 210 pounds ($ 13.65), and in dollars it costs $ 15.
The difference between 3 * from 4 and 5 * (was in any hotel, so I'm guided): in 3 * there is no proper (not to say perfect) cleanliness of the territory, rooms, dining room. Very old room renovations, washed towels and bed linen (including spools). Rooms are not cleaned daily, towels and bed linen are not changed.
There is not much choice of food, no private beach (lead to their periodic change), no snacks on the beach, water, coffee, tea, volleyball, there is a possibility of not having a toilet and shower, there are old sunbeds, many in a small area beach to bring guests from 2 hotels). In 3 * I do not recommend bringing parents, loved ones, it would be a little embarrassing if you were in a higher level hotel. Common to all hotels, regardless of stardom: there may be boors among the staff and may not be delicious cooking (depending on the chef).
Conclusion: this hotel is just to spend the night (if everything will work in the room), "freeze the worm" in the capital and escape to the sea, and in the evening take a walk on Naama Bay.

I'll start from the very beginning! We always choose a hotel ourselves, read reviews, we understand that it is cheap, which means there will be many shortcomings, we were ready for some shortcomings, but !! ! Always rest makes the staff! Here it's the other way around. At the reception they gave us other people's passports, it's good that they looked and demanded their own.

I'll start from the very beginning! We always choose a hotel ourselves, read reviews, we understand that it is cheap, which means there will be many shortcomings, we were ready for some shortcomings, but !! ! Always rest makes the staff! Here it's the other way around. At the reception they gave us other people's passports, it's good that they looked and demanded their own. Then we were not given a voucher. Found it on the floor. They didn't care about us. Next is the settlement. They put us in a room! The window is a crack in the glass, it is difficult to open, they controlled it so that the glass would not fall on us. Bedding, towels - the color of dust. Washed. Everything is in the dust. The furniture is worn out, the doors in the cabinets do not close. The air conditioner leaked. All the water on the cupboard and in the glass cupboard, on our things. Shower! The water is intermittent and barely warm. But in the washbasin - boiling water! Mosquitoes and cockroaches - a lot! They fled from mosquitoes as best they could, but cockroaches are here, like pets, everywhere. We did not change the number, as it is considered the best. But my girlfriend changed. The choice was made in favor of a room with sewer smells, and not with cockroaches. The stench didn't go away in a week.
There are mountains of rubbish around the hotel. On the territory in places. Bar by the pool! Tables are dirty, chairs too. Probably on purpose, so as not to sit and drink a lot. The food is good, tasty. But the staff discourages all the desire to go to eat. So sorry and put a little on the plates. All people are simply indignant and cursing. Dishes are missing. People stand in line waiting for dishes. Guide from Joy Up, who took us on an excursion on 10/11/21. at 19-30 in Soho, refused to regulate the temperature of the air conditioner in the bus and cooled down to 11 degrees. Everyone is naked and complaining. He replied that he was hot. And when they had already quarreled, he turned on the air conditioner for heating up to 30 degrees, provoking a scandal on the bus between the passengers. He did not care about tourists at all, but did it for evil. This is a big disrespect to people. Why should tourists trust such guides! ? He hates them all. I had to close my eyes to many things, to endure, upon arrival they wrote reviews of the hotel on the website of the agency from which we went, they deleted it twice. Tourists, many good hotels and very good people in Egypt. Go somewhere else but not the Cliff.
