Rested with the company. The hotel is clean. The staff is friendly. The food is monotonous. The rooms are cleaned every other day. The beach is acceptable, but the sea is shallow, to swim you have to walk about 7 minutes, the water is knee-deep. On the beach they sell entertainment - safari, diving, water park - inflate with prices.

On the beach they sell entertainment - safari, diving, water park - inflate with prices. For example, you take and pay for 2 dives, it turns out they bought 1 - they paid 60 euros - the director of this START NOW CO. named ALAA, and this Alaa is too much love - women over 40 get ready to fork out, younger ones can try exotics for free. True, women fight because of him on the beach specifically. Probably this is part of the entertainment program of the Suleimar hotel sex tourism.
The hotel complex itself is large. When leaving the hotel there is a chain of shops. A taxi ride to the old city costs 20 minutes for 20 dollars, a minibus for 1 dollar, but in time it takes 40 minutes.
I really liked swimming with dolphins, it costs $ 125, there are a lot of impressions, you will not regret it.

Good afternoon. We were in this hotel from the 7th to the 14th of August. Despite the low ratings, the hotel was pleasant. The very feeling of significance and presence in it was present. You shouldn’t look at bad reviews about animation, the guys are just great, they know their business, they don’t let them get bored! ) The food is so-so, there is little variety for breakfast, we can say that there is nothing to eat, well, this is important for me as an athlete! A big drawback is the sea, in order to swim you have to go for a long time in shallow water, fish, I’ll say right away that no, if you want to see the sea in Nabka Bay, don’t go at all.

There are many shortcomings, the first days I only considered them, but I decided to close my eyes to this and did not regret it. There is merit. The rest was a success ESPECIALLY the last three days - it's a fairy tale, magic. Who knows, he will understand) I will ask everyone who reads this review and rested with dreams at the same time to find and get in touch

Just returned with a 6 year old from Sol Y Mar Riva Club. We stayed at the end of May 2011. It's hard to call it a club, because. Of the three hotels, only one is working now, apparently not yet the season, respectively, and the restaurant is also one - the main one. Food for the unassuming, little variety.

Just returned with a 6 year old from Sol Y Mar Riva Club. We stayed at the end of May 2011. It's hard to call it a club, because. Of the three hotels, only one is working now, apparently not yet the season, respectively, and the restaurant is also one - the main one. Food for the unassuming, little variety. Only dinners were pleasing - grilled squid, rolls from a local sushi master, fried quail, something new every day.
Rooms are great, cleaned daily. One caveat was during the settlement. If you buy a Standard room, then this is a 2-bed room with separate beds and WITHOUT A BALCONY !! ! And this is in 80% of the rooms in this hotel. But everything is solved for 10 dollars, you will be settled in a room with a terrace.
Now about the sea - you will walk knee-deep for a long time, but the water is warm, the bottom is sand. Great for kids! And great for learning to windsurf and skysurf. The hotel does not have its own pantone, there is a pantone of a neighboring hotel nearby for $ 5 a day. But I advise you to take a walk in the direction of the Tropicana hotel, there is a panton 1000m long with sunbeds, the entrance is also $ 5, there is an extraordinary beauty of the reef, the depth and all the beauty of the Red Sea !!!
Animation: here is a huge minus. 3 animators worked, 1 Russian (always boiled Natasha), local Riva and an Englishwoman I don’t-know-what-name. They were almost invisible for days on end. Evaluation of their work (or non-work) 0.

Arrived at the hotel from December 25 to January 1.2010-2011. Arriving at the hotel was a delight. We, who were late, were waited for and immediately taken to dinner. Then registration. They took the bags to the room, gave a tip. The impression is good. The room is spacious, the interior is pleasant. This is Sol Y Mar Riva Corps Mar.

Arrived at the hotel from December 25 to January 1.2010-2011.
Arriving at the hotel was a delight. We, who were late, were waited for and immediately taken to dinner. Then registration. They took the bags to the room, gave a tip. The impression is good. The room is spacious, the interior is pleasant. This is Sol Y Mar Riva Corps Mar. Apparently the oldest, but I liked it more than all of the three. The setting is like a palace.
The hotel has 4 swimming pools. One heated pool - very warm. You can swim at least all day without getting out.
Perhaps this is where the good ends.
On the territory there are reservoirs in the form of a river, a lake and several waterfalls. Polluting ponds are natural swamps in which clouds of mosquitoes breed.
The rooms are not cleaned at all. They just make the bed and hang the towels nicely.
We broke a glass between the beds. I put the urn there and put a sheet of paper on top, on which I wrote in English a request to be removed. The cleaners put the urn back under the table, the fragments on the floor were not touched. So we left, leaving a bunch of fragments on the floor.
The choice of food is rather poor. I compare this with how I rested in Turkey, as well as according to the reviews of other people.
On the beach belonging to the hotel, they sell entertainment such as diving, water park, safari, etc. I took diving. I told him for a long time that I definitely want to take a program with two dives. Paid 60 euros. Let's go in the morning. Several other people were driving from our hotel, including four Belarusians. They talked all the way. They all took two dives too. When registering for diving, it turned out that only one dive was ordered and paid for for all of us. The program did just that. There I found out that for 60 euros you can't buy two dives, which I believe. However, I would have paid more for what I wanted and wouldn't even charge 20 euros if I knew it was only one dive. In general, they, fearing that too high a price will scare people away, name prices for more meager programs, promising full ones. Then I got 10 euros back, but then I needed two dives, not 10 euros back. In general, this hotel is inflated with entertainment programs.
Shortly resting before us, tourists talk about the theft of money. We ourselves kept money and phones in a safe. I can quite believe in theft, as the cleaners stole the ball (for 1 bucks) from our children's room. After talking at the reception, slipped the ball back two days later.
On December 29, in the morning the weather was cloudy and it rained at times. By evening, the skies cleared up completely. It was pouring rain and lightning flashed. In all three buildings, the roof is simply full of holes. Cleaners rushed about with buckets and rags. Water poured straight from the sockets of electric light bulbs on the ceiling. After looking at this, I thought that it should be good to shy away soon. And so it happened. Soon everything went offline. Given that rain is a natural disaster for them, the technicians dealt with the problem well. Backup generators were launched, the buildings were partially electrified.
New Year's Eve Gala Dinner was in doubt due to force majeure in the form of a downpour the day before, as the entire hall was flooded. But nothing, we did it. Everything was dried with vacuum cleaners, washed, and everything went without jambs from the technical side.
The tables are set, pre-ordered champagne is in a glass with ice near the table. They announced the beginning of the holiday and invited everyone to eat - go to the buffet for food. For 77 euros for dinner per person, the waiters could have served, but instead, they all moved at once to the only row of tables with food, a huge queue formed with climbing out of line and scuffles between the hotel guests. There was a lot of food in quantity, but some delicacies ran out immediately and were not replenished again. The program has begun. Programs were performed by local animation producers. Judging by their lack of synchronicity, but I would rather call the movements out of sync, they rehearsed once. It was a little better than the guests learning to dance with a teacher on the beach. No acoustics in the hall. Speakers suspended from the ceiling are roaring and all this is humming in the hall. Between short performances there were protracted discos. Those who were completely drunk, maybe they liked it, but I just wanted to get an entertainment program. At midnight, the new year was announced, everyone was congratulated. We uncorked a bottle of champagne, drank a glass of this sourness and offered it to the passengers at the next table. There they gave this bottle for 45 bucks. Immediately the bartenders began to ask money for drinks. After talking with the chief chef about what they say I paid this money for, he said, sorry, there was a misunderstanding, they say, take it to your health. Then something else began. The music was screaming, as if the disco was not finishing, but the waiters collected everything from the tables, literally kicking everyone out. We went to the toilet for two minutes. Upon our return, everything was swept from our table, including cigarettes and a lighter, which, in fact, were left there in order to show that we had not left at all. It was not possible to return the cigarettes, even with the intervention of the big boss. We came to the room, watched a little New Year's program on the first channel and went to bed. It was early to get up in the morning. All those departing were provided with packets of dry rations. They agreed to give coffee at the bar only for 3 bucks.
In general, I called it all a five-star hostel at the end, because as a hotel it pulls a maximum of 3 stars. I strongly recommend not to stay there.

Read reviews about the hotel, looked at the photos. . . LIKE like nothing. And really nothing. . . good)))) Well, what can I say? Today we arrived in Sharm El Sheikh "hotel" Sol Y Mar Riva World 5 *. We are actually SHOCKED! The hotel has several buildings. They settled us in the Beach building (I just want to write Bitch). Sorry for the humor, we're just from Odessa (if it weren't for the humor, you would immediately want to cry here). And so in order. . . At the entrance, of course, there is a metal detector that squeaks even at small children and a cleaner with a broom (maybe he has a gun in his pocket? ). True, at the entrance to the right there is immediately a bar counter, but they don’t pour it right away))) At the reception, I met a friendly young man. The number was issued quickly (just in case, they gave him $ 10) and did the right thing. They gave me a number. The view from the window is good, BUT there are two separate beds in the room and there is a black imprint of someone's hand on the wall above the bed. The room is as in the photo, but without the participation of photoshop (shabby furniture, black seams on the tiles and a little dirty bed). To our indignation about separate beds, two beds with a slight movement of the hand of a hotel employee turned into one. We imagined that at night this bed could also easily turn back into two (and we would end up on the floor), we ran back to the reception. There we learned that rooms with a solid bed are given only by pull. Blat is not expensive - $ 5. Moved. Things were brought to the room, but they were offended by a tip of $ 1 and we were brazenly told what to add. We scattered our things and went to lunch. At lunch: 1 kind of soup, rice, pasta, potatoes, chicken, egg salad (suspicious smell), vegetable salad (tomatoes are clearly sour) and generally very poor. We were assured that there was not enough of everything, because tomorrow is the new year and all products are saved for tomorrow. What is a martini, baileys, campari, etc. , no one knows at all. Dinner upset even more: half of the dishes were leftovers from lunch (but we won’t gain extra pounds))) We reserved a table for tomorrow’s New Year’s dinner (we were immediately offered to buy a bottle of carbonated wine for $50). We kindly declined (long live DUTY FREE!!! ). Tomorrow we will write about the continuation of our "inexpensive" vacation (although the money, in my opinion, is not small).

There are a lot of Russians in the hotel, so the staff understands Russian tolerably. . . From the positive: -a warm pool is a cool thing, the sea is also not cold, but there is a strong wind in December, it is not cold, but not comfortable, and the pool is closed from the wind by the hotel building, it is nice to sunbathe and swim there.

From the positive:
-a warm pool is a cool thing, the sea is also not cold, but there is a strong wind in December, it is not cold, but not comfortable, and the pool is closed from the wind by the hotel building, it is nice to sunbathe and swim there...
-in the rooms WIFI is not bad everywhere, the speed of 3Mbps at the reception is really about 2x, Skype works fine, and the torrent downloads are pretty good. . .
-in the room there were two bottles of 1.5l of plain water for free! safe is free, cleaning is stable every day, towels were changed, so the change of bed seems to have been irregular. . .
More negative:
The rooms do not have air conditioning for heating, keep this in mind when traveling in winter... It blows from the windows (ask for a room from the side of the pool)... The style and design of the hotel is nothing! It seems that only yesterday the repair ended here, but everything is already shabby, IT DOES NOT WORK FOR FIVE STARS! The chairs in the restaurant are all dirty, it’s not clear why... Mandatory Christmas dinner for $ 78, this is of course PPC, there are simply no words... it just sucks, or rather it’s just a regular dinner, only ribbons and candles on the tables, and the waiters are dressed up and more courteous. Tourists from three hotels were driven to a nearby hotel and all of them, attention, LINED UP TO THE BUFFET....
The buffet is typical for Egypt, unremarkable, few fruits, some dishes are really not possible to eat, only the dessert did not cause any complaints... There is no panton on the beach, in order to swim normally in the sea you need to walk one hundred and fifty meters knee-deep in water, and for the entrance for the pantone of a neighboring hotel they ask for $ 5
Animation is the weak link of this hotel. . .
The hotel is 35 km from Nayama Bay, which is not close and the minimum amount for which taxi drivers agree to carry is $ 10
CONCLUSION: The hotel is more suitable for a family holiday, boring in the family circle, but if the children are older than 5 years old, then you run the risk of entertaining them yourself, since there is no entertainment besides the pool. The rest is more like a sanatorium type, only the SPA will cost no less than in Moscow (bargaining is possible), SPA services are offered across the road from the hotel, on the beaches of the sea and the pool, a banal massage (for money from $ 30).
After midnight a cup of tea in the lobby bar $3.
The tour operator, without warning, took us out of the hotel 12 hours earlier, instead of a flight at 21:25 we were taken out at 7 in the morning for a flight at 10:00 - outrageous, but under the charter agreement there is a charter ((((((Three flights were compacted into one - the plane was packed full...... to the operator Mostrevel for this deuce!

Hello everyone, the hotel is excellent, well, not 5 stars of course, so you pay for it accordingly !!!!!!!!!
Check-in: we didn’t want to wait, we put 10 bucks in the passport, they gave us a room right away, on the 1st floor overlooking the sea, they opened the safe, taught us how to close it, in general, everything is in order with this.
Room: large, bright, cleaned every day, towels were changed, flowers and swans were twisted)) yes, by the way, on the ground floor instead of a balcony there is a terrace, wicker chairs, a table, we really did not sit there, there was no time))
Meals: we liked everything, a lot, delicious, salads are of course very strange, well, vegetables were all served separately, and sauces, mix it up as you like, there were sushi every evening, pastries are simply unreal, oriental sweets, for lunch and dinner to choose from meat, fish, poultry, cooked in a different way every day, they also always grilled something, 3-4 side dishes, a couple of soups, fruits, two or three types to choose from, tea, coffee, "zyuppi" - which they have juice.
the coolest bar is near the bowling alley, the bartender there is just a darling, he makes different cocktails every time, they are all delicious, and he is naturally embarrassed to take a tip)))) beer is good, they are poured from glass bottles, on the beach in the bar there are cocktails without fantasy, pizza, burgers , french fries, ice cream, there were never queues, about which some people write, there were also enough dishes.
Beach: the beach is just super !!! ! super super super!!! ! There is coral, though small, there are a lot of fish there !!!!! ! shallow 100-150 meters, for small children, well, or who can’t swim, just do it perfectly. there is no pontoon, two minutes walk to the left is paid, five minutes to the right is free, and if you are not too lazy and walk 15-20 minutes to the right along the beach, then just do it !!!! ! free pontoon a kilometer long !!!!!!!!!!!! ! I advise everyone, it is very beautiful there, in general, we are satisfied. 2 swimming pools, one heated.
Animation Entertainment: good, unobtrusive, real yoga in the morning, I liked everything.
Separately, I would like to say about compatriots - it became a shame at times that we were Russians !! ! shout to the bartender - well, you, curly, move, or hey you, chock, come on faster... moreover, this is a woman of 50 years old, with a claim to intelligence!
About the fact that they do not understand Russian - try to turn on your sense of humor, smile, and say - yes, you know everything - they have such jokes, they really think it's funny)))
Separately, I would like to say about the guide Abdul from Anex Tour - I have never seen such non-professionalism anywhere! he doesn’t count tourists, he doesn’t wait, he just doesn’t care about all of us, if you go on an excursion with him - be prepared to develop cruising speeds, and don’t try to linger to pee - you will be left alone somewhere!
in general, the rest was a success, if you are not going to look for cons and find fault, but want to have an inexpensive rest by the sea - you should go to this hotel =)))
have a great holiday everyone!! !

Separately, I would like to say about compatriots - it became a shame at times that we were Russians !! ! shout to the bartender - well, you, curly, move, or hey you, chock, come on faster... moreover, this is a woman of 50 years old, with a claim to intelligence!
About the fact that they do not understand Russian - try to turn on your sense of humor, smile, and say - yes, you know everything - they have such jokes, they really think it's funny)))
Separately, I would like to say about the guide Abdul from Anex Tour - I have never seen such non-professionalism anywhere! he doesn’t count tourists, he doesn’t wait, he just doesn’t care about all of us, if you go on an excursion with him - be prepared to develop cruising speeds, and don’t try to linger to pee - you will be left alone somewhere!
in general, the rest was a success, if you are not going to look for cons and find fault, but want to have an inexpensive rest by the sea - you should go to this hotel =)))
have a great holiday everyone!! !

I am writing a review because I choose hotels based on reviews. I'll try to write an objective review. We rested in Solymar for 9 days. Let's go from Aneks from St. Petersburg. We arrived on the morning of 11.12. at 9 am, the hotel was at 11 o'clock. Settled immediately without a tip. The room was given an ordinary one, but they said that it was good, apparently the goodness was in the view from the window))).

The room was given an ordinary one, but they said that it was good, apparently the goodness was in the view from the window))). We lived in the Beach building. Compared to other hotels, the room is large, bright, but there is no balcony (((. We were 2 + 1, there were 2 beds in the room, a cot was brought for the child (the cot was delivered very quickly). They were cleaned well, it was always clean. Towels were changed ))). We lived in room 3525. Wi-Fi was not available in the room, so FREE internet in the reception area or we sat next to the elevator on the 3rd floor)))
2. Food. The food, to be honest, is rated 3 stars. Were before that and in 3 and 4 stars)). But we were not particularly picky, everything was always tasty, but the choice was small. (even on this diet they gained weight (((eh). On the beach they cooked pizza, french fries, a hamburger. There was ice cream. Drinks until 12 at night. Milk cocktails, alcoholic cocktails, various teas, espresso coffee, cappuccino, in general, everything is simple here class, I really liked all the cocktails. ))) Lack of dishes, especially cups and glasses (((, but at the end of the rest, we noticed that we bought mugs))) there were always a lot. 1 time they gave sushi, crabs. There is NO children's table (for those traveling with babies).
3. Animation. I liked yoga, I went to yoga every day. There were also belly dances, latin, water aerobics in the pool, volleyball, boccia. Every evening at 10 pm there were performances or competitions in the amphitheater (Miss and Mr. of the hotel, oriental dances, karaoke). Children's disco, I'm not happy with it, my child always happily went out to dance (in other hotels), sat here and just watched (((.
4. Beach. I'll tell you right away, there is no abyss. There is a dead reef, but there are a lot of different fish, I even saw new fish that I had not seen before. To go to the coral 100 meters exactly, but it did not bother us, even cool, in connection with the latest news about the shark. They swam every day, the beach was not closed, although in Naama the beach was opened only on 16 or 17.12. There was a caretaker, they were not allowed to swim far. The hotel has 2 swimming pools: 1 heated.
5. Staff. Service. In general, everything is fine. But if you compare by star rating, then the staff is a little loose for 5 stars.
6. Hotel vacationers. Hotel SOVIET UNION RESPECT. Most of them are Ukraine, Belarus, Russia (mainly Moscow), during my vacation I saw Italians, about 10 people. The first time I was very ashamed of my compatriots, I found out who the rednecks are, I can’t call them otherwise. Also in the hotel you can see women walking around in flowered bathrobes, for me it was wildness.
7. Aneks guide. Marina - gathered at the meeting, explained everything, told everything. We never met again, and we didn't need to.
8. Excursions. They took it outside the hotel, 1.5 times cheaper. (Near the subway).
9. Discos: Disco in 2 buildings - beach and club - free of charge.
10. Hookah. Hookah can be smoked on site (next to the amphitheater), there is still a Bedouin cafe 2 hotels to the left, there is also a good hookah. )) Still there och. delicious tea. It costs 3 dollars (15 pounds) in our hotel, 20 pounds in a Bedouin cafe.
11. The road to Naama and the old city. For denyushka, For 5 + 1 to the old city they took $ 10, a blue minibus, but it was like a taxi, they didn’t take anyone else))). Up to naama per person - $ 1 on a blue minibus, $ 5 on a taxi per car.
12. Money was changed at the bank next to the METRO.
13. Be vigilant!! ! Check the change in the METRO without leaving the cash desk.
I wish you all a great holiday at the hotel. If you have no complaints, then you will love it. I remind you that you are going to ECONOMIC 5. Yes, but I didn’t find stars anywhere. (((if you find it, it’s very interesting where they hid them)))
We liked our stay in this hotel, little inconsistencies did not spoil our vacation. Good luck everyone. Questions will be ready to answer.

I returned from the hotel a week ago, full of impressions. The hotel is wonderful, not VIP-class, but for the money it's worth - it's worth it. I will say right away, whoever has a lot of ambitions, then go to more expensive hotels, in Solimar, a vacation for a solid four can even be a plus, it all depends on the person and the mood with which you are going there.

I returned from the hotel a week ago, full of impressions. The hotel is wonderful, not VIP-class, but for the money it's worth - it's worth it. I will say right away, whoever has a lot of ambitions, then go to more expensive hotels, in Solimar, a vacation for a solid four can even be a plus, it all depends on the person and the mood with which you are going there. After reading reviews about the stench and noise from sewage treatment plants, I spent the whole week walking around looking where it was possible to take such negative photos as in one of the previous reviews, but I didn’t find it. It’s a little unpleasant for our compatriots who are constantly drunk, rude to Arabs, make noise, find fault with everything, and then write negative reviews, but there are few of them. As one of the drawbacks, there is a shortage of dishes at rush hour in the restaurant, arriving early or late, everything is good, there is a lot of food, varied. With sunbeds on the beach, also, who comes there at 11-12 noon and may not be enough on the first or second line, there are sunbeds but away from the water. The entrance to the sea is gentle, go to a depth of 150-200 meters, but the sharks will not swim up, you can cool down and swim safely at a shallow depth. There is a coral island, small but a lot of fish. In general, the sea is warm, the water is clear, in the middle of winter a piece of summer. Very suitable for families with children. Whoever travels with a good mood and a desire to have a good rest, everything will work out that way.

Hello! Went to Egypt for the first time. Traveled with my girlfriend. We read a lot of reviews about this hotel, someone liked it, someone did not like it. But the vouchers had already been bought, they won’t get away and I must say we did not regret it. From the outside, the hotel looked very pretentious: three large buildings, a huge green area, the sun, the beach is relatively close - everything suited us (we arrived, I must say, in the afternoon when the sun was gaining momentum).

Hello!
Went to Egypt for the first time. Traveled with my girlfriend. We read a lot of reviews about this hotel, someone liked it, someone did not like it. But the vouchers had already been bought, they won’t get away and I must say we did not regret it.
From the outside, the hotel looked very pretentious: three large buildings, a huge green area, the sun, the beach is relatively close - everything suited us (we arrived, I must say, in the afternoon when the sun was gaining momentum). It was 12 noon, check-in was at 14. The guide came up and said that we would have to wait 2 hours for check-in, we were already upset, because we were very hungry and tired, when after 10 minutes they approached us and immediately tied bracelets. Guess you didn't wait.
They fed us for slaughter, for the first three days it seemed we tried all the dishes on their menu, as the next day they had oriental sweets on the table of sweets, which we had not seen or tried before the village. I had to eat more. Whoever wrote that they don’t wow with variety on the menu, I can assure you, everything is in order with variety))
The rooms also did not cause any serious complaints. Large, spacious, with individual air conditioning, a small refrigerator and a safe. The air conditioner was really noisy, and if the windows were opened at night, then mosquitoes flew in. We cleaned every day, nothing was missing.
Now about the territory and the beach.
The territory is huge, green, all sorts of beautiful flowers, blunders. In the evening, when they started to spray all this greenery, a characteristic unpleasant smell of feces immediately appeared... it is not clear, but unpleasant.
The beach, in my opinion, seemed quite well-groomed, there were not enough sunbeds only for those who came late.
I didn’t like only the annoying flies that flew there all the time, preventing me from relaxing calmly))
The fact that there is very shallow and far from corals - it is. Until you reach the normal depth, you didn’t want to swim, but of course the corals are beautiful with their flora and fauna, be sure to take a mask, there’s nothing to do without it)
Probably everything. Rating is a solid four !!! !
