I rested in mid-October, the weather was excellent, not so hot anymore (the temperature was at 30-33, the sea was 26-28 degrees). The hotel is located in Sharks Bay.
The reef at the hotel is quite long, but not deep, there are many colored fish, an overview can be found at the link.
The reef is brighter if you swim across the buoys to the left of entering the sea, the corals are brighter, if you swim confidently, it is better to sail away.
The beach, like the hotel itself, is cascading, you have to climb the slope, if you are traveling with children or people with disabilities, you are not here, as it will be difficult to walk (the main restaurant is at the very top, and the beach and rooms are down the slope).
To take a place on the beach near the water, it is better to get up early, but if you don’t care a couple of levels higher, there are always free sun loungers.
For food, there is a main restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and two a la carte restaurants (fish and grill). Once per vacation, you can sign up for a restaurant with a grill, which is located near the pool, with relaxing music.
On the menu, fruits (persimmon, melon, dates, pomegranate, figs, bananas, guava, pears, grapes), sweets are ordinary cakes, meat (turkey, chicken, beef), fish only in batter, there was no grill. Twice a week fish dinner (grilled shrimps and crabs).
On the territory of several bars, at the reception, the beach, near the pools. Alcohol is local, like everywhere else. Fast food starts around 12, at lunchtime there is also watery ice cream, but it’s not bad in the heat.
Of the significant disadvantages, there are a lot of people in hotels and for lunch and dinner you have to stand in line to enter, then the line for food, if you want to drink, then this is a whole quest, for lunch and dinner drinks are brought by the waiter, there are only two of them for the whole crowd . We waited for drinks for the whole vacation a couple of times, in other cases they either didn’t come to us, or forgot about the order, there were cases when we had already eaten, and the drinks were only brought. As for me, it would be better not to make an attempt to provide restaurant service, but to give people the opportunity to pour themselves as in 4x. Often people at the bar took a drink for themselves and already came with glasses in their hands.
The food was quite tasty and varied.
Once per stay, you can use the free shuttle service from the hotel of your choice (Soho, Old Town).
Separately, about the check-in, the sediment was not pleasant, we arrived at 7 in the morning, the check-in was told to wait until 2, there are no complaints here, since the hotel is filled to capacity. But they didn’t give us bracelets, they told us to wait until 10.30, the time when breakfast was over, this is the first time I’ve come across such zhlobstvo, although I’ve rested more than once in Egypt and Turkey. Surcharge for tomorrow was about 10-15 dollars per person.
At 10.30, they finally gave me a bracelet, gave out a couple of buns and were allowed to take coffee at the bar.
Cards for towels are given after check-in, consider if you plan to lie on the beach before lunch, and not wait for a settlement at the reception.
Wi-Fi on the territory is only paid, $ 10 for one device for a week, but it does not catch the beach. Free nets of nearby hotels are caught on the beach.
The territory of the hotel does not seem to be large, but since it is long in front of each building there is a swimming pool or a garden.
The rooms are different, there are after repair, but there are completely dead ones, the best buildings are 12 and 14, just between the beach and the restaurant.
A very active and cheerful animation team, all day there was some kind of movement (yoga, aerobics, darts), in the evenings there was a show (the program is weak, like everywhere else in Egypt, except for the fire show, it was cool, I recommend visiting).
The overall impression is positive, I'm ready to come again.
