This was my 5th trip to Egypt, so all conclusions were made against the background of previous hotels.
I chose the Sheraton because I was expecting something super cool, because is a global hotel chain.
I'll start with a description of the hotel.
Territory.
Big, green, many pools, but they are all small (and not as beautiful as we would like. . .
There are not so many bars and there are almost always crowds of people around them.
There is a small gym (free)
There are many buildings, and some are very far from the sea. At first we were settled in the Romantic building, where there was a very small room, without a balcony. But next. day moved closer to a nice room on the first floor with a terrace.

People
There are a lot of people.
80% of vacationers are Russians, the rest are Italians and French.
Food, restaurants.
The food in the restaurant is monotonous, boring already on the 3rd day. Everything is the same.

Bars open only at 10, and on the beach until 10 o'clock you have to make do with only water.
At the bars they give juices (diluted from powder, disgusting in taste), cocktails are made from the same juices (the same disgusting).
Note that these bars are the same for those who live in the 5-star Sheraton. The same disgusting powdered drinks.
From the food at the bars they give some small puff buns and somewhere at 3 o'clock they give french fries and sandwiches (again, not the best quality and taste)
And it's called "All Inclusive"??!!
Beach
Russians run to the beach in the morning and take all the good places. If you come to the beach at 10 am, then you will not find a sunbed. Poor Italians walked along the beach and dragged the sunbeds themselves.
There is no sand on the beach! It feels like walking on cement sprinkled with red sand. This upset us too, because I had to walk in slippers to the pontoon.
Sea
Beautiful corals, an abundance of very beautiful fish, different all the time - I have not seen anything like this anywhere)) A truly gorgeous sea) A paradise for those who go in for diving.
So the cons:
1. Monotonous food, terrible juices and terrible cocktails in bars.
2. For the "All Inclusive" system, little is included)
3. Small pools
4. Lack of normal sand.
Pros:
1. An abundance of beautiful and diverse fish
2. There is a free minibus from the hotel to Naama Bay, but it must be ordered at 7 am on the same day)
In general, I can say that the hotel did not make much of an impression. But if you are going for the sea, then it's worth it. I have never snorkeled for an hour anywhere, as in the Sheraton.
Have a nice holiday everyone)
