The hotel is located on the beach, in the resort area of ​​Sharks Bay. The reception building is divided into two areas: Fayrouz - around the pool and Coral - overlooking the sea. Opened in 2002 and last renovated in 2017-2018, the hotel is perfect for a family vacation, a romantic trip or a trip with friends.More →

After reading some not very good reviews, it was a little scary, someone wrote that they didn't want to check in earlier, some didn't like the food and the number of rooms, but we chose this hotel because there is a very beautiful coral reef there and we didn't regret it, it's something incredible. who likes to swim and you will like the underwater world!
We arrived at the hotel at 9:30
We checked in immediately for a small present in a good room, and at 10 we put on a bracelet and we went to the sea. We were in the main building to the sea in five minutes along a very beautiful alley. The territory is very beautiful and well-kept, it was also important for us that there were no steep descents to the sea, as there are many hotels with endless steps.
We didn't really like the food on the first day, but already on the second day, when we tried more or less everything and chose what suited us, everything was delicious until the end of the vacation. Of course, if someone wants "high" cuisine, then this is not the place for you.
The room was standard nothing special cleaning every day
Everything is clean
In general, I really liked the rest, the weather was very comfortable, 28-31 degrees Celsius, there was no wind
I really liked the spa massage procedures, I highly recommend it
There was also animation and an aqua park, but we didn't get there, but it's great for those with children
Conclusion: the hotel fully meets the price-quality ratio
I also forgot to say that all the staff are very friendly, so I recommend the Continental Plaza hotel
On the recommendation of Scandia Tour

A hotel with a large territory, a gorgeous sandy beach, children and those who cannot swim can enter the water from the shore, 15 meters from the shore there is a sandy bottom of the sea. The menu cannot be called overly varied, but the food is delicious. The renovation in the rooms is old, but the bedding and towels are all very clean. … More ▾ A hotel with a large territory, a gorgeous sandy beach, children and those who cannot swim can enter the water from the shore, 15 meters from the shore there is a sandy bottom of the sea.

I’m writing this review while waiting for a transfer to the airport and don’t want to leave.

Great hotel for a budget holiday in Egypt!
Pros:
*first line,
*a large well-groomed area surrounded by greenery: palm trees, grass, shrubs and everywhere full of colorful flowers (! ) A feast for the eyes!
*a wide, spacious sandy beach, and everything with it: a bar with tables (water, juices, beer, snacks - French fries, salad burgers, after lunch - pancakes...and for a fee there is ice cream, natural juices) toilet, locker room, summer shower, towels issued by card, and always places available!
*relatively short pontoon, 20 meters
*expanse for snorkelers plus an interesting house reef, and you can see the bottom behind the coral crust, and not a frightening abyss like in other hotels.
I didn’t notice any downsides to the hotel for its price category.
The rooms are all standard, wide, everything works: air conditioning, plumbing, TV (who watches that? ), refrigerator (without drinks), there is hot water.
The rooms are cleaned daily, the bed and towels are white and clean. From cosmetics: soap, shampoo and shower gel in plastic mini bottles that are replenished as used.
The cuisine is standard Egyptian. There will always be something to eat until you're full. Everything is! Eggs, meat, fish, rice, potatoes, beans, pasta, vegetables, fruits, baked goods, yogurt, always 2 types of soups, tea, coffee, drinks and much more...
There are 2 bars with drinks on the reception floor.
Not far from the entrance to the main building there are shops where you can buy goods (bargain!!! ), but the prices will be twice as high as in the Old Market, so I advise upon arrival at the hotel on the first evening to take a taxi to the Old Town (Old Market) and buy everything you need: masks for snorkeling, corals, Mangoes, aromatic teas, oils, medicines, etc. etc...for example, the hotel will ask for $10 for corrals, negotiate down to $7, but in the Old Market they cost $5.
Round-trip taxis can be found for $15 per car.
If your company consists of 3-4 people, then it is definitely more profitable to go to Old Market.
About excursions...The guide will offer them at an expensive price. There will be people offering excursions on the beach...be careful not to fall for the expensive pleasure.
Find the website Empire Tourism in Egypt on the Internet and study the names of excursions and prices for them, and compare...they have the most realistic prices. Or find the travel agency NEMO on Instagram - very pleasant communication and low prices. With NEMO we swam to Rass Mohamed for $17 per person, and our friends had previously been scammed on the same excursion for $35 per person - they bought it from an Arab on the beach. We paid $20 for a photo + video underwater when diving with a diver, and our friends paid $40, and the quality of their photos is much worse...
Speaking of the reef...We went with the NEMO travel agency to Rass Mohamed...
The only thing I liked was swimming on a boat; there were 2 stops for an hour, we snorkeled around a coral island while those who wanted to dived - I’ll tell you that Continental’s snorkeling is much more interesting and varied, so you shouldn’t expect anything better.
Be sure to take mosquito repellent with you, otherwise you will have sleepless nights.
If you are looking for a more interesting reef, swim to the right until you reach the shore of the Rark Regency Hotel (formerly Hyatt) - you need to swim past 2 pontoons and further; and to the left, sail past the Grand Plaza and to the Reef Oasis Blue Bay - then it’s not so interesting, and you can feel the current. The most interesting direction is to the right to Hayat.
Buy a massage course at a local spa - they charge $25 for one procedure, and if you decide to do 5 procedures, it costs $20...I recommend Ulshat or Maya among the masseuses - they do their job conscientiously.
The Internet is much better than in 21, you can catch it not only at the reception, but also on the territory, near the beach...
but the quality is inconsistent, so buy a SIM card at the airport and you will have problem-free Internet.
The holiday was a success, I recommend this hotel!

I will not go into emotions, just describe our holiday. I went on vacation with older children, so many factors were not taken into account. We arrived around 8:00 am. I must say right away that in Egypt we rested 15 times, and maybe more. Previously, when checking into a hotel with an early check-in, the first thing I listened to was please leave your things and go to the restaurant for breakfast, then come to check-in. … More ▾ I will not go into emotions, just describe our holiday. I went on vacation with older children, so many factors were not taken into account. We arrived around 8:00 am. I must say right away that in Egypt we rested 15 times, and maybe more. Previously, when checking into a hotel with an early check-in, the first thing I listened to was please leave your things and go to the restaurant for breakfast, then come to check-in. Breakfast is currently not included on the first day. Not the question is the concept of the hotel so the concept of the hotel. We left our bags 3 km away from McDonald's, walked around, had a bite to eat, and returned just in time for 12-00. I forgot to write that at the reception they offered to pay extra for 25 dollars. for a room and check in from 10-00, to which we smiled and went to McDonald's. Upon checking in, the battle decided that we were Rockefellers and asked for a tip of $10, for which he received a message along a well-known route and $1. The rooms are very tired and dirty.
No matter how long I stay in them, only spending the night is therefore not very important, but if you have a fad about this, then you are definitely not here. It was cool at night, but the air conditioner does not work for heating, you can not even try to turn it on, it gives an E4 error. Rooms on the first floor are warmer. We had one room on the second floor and two on the first. The bed was changed 1 time, the towels, in principle, did not understand, they were changed or simply hung to dry, soap and shampoos were added 1 time. Next is the meeting with the guide. They picked us up and took us to the conference room. thank God that he told information about the departure, for beginners it is important, he said about the hotel you will figure it out yourself and started selling excursions, it was a very unpleasant moment for those who did not take excursions. We had to fill out a questionnaire and give it to the guide. So, if you do not buy a tour, then you can give the questionnaire only from 12-00.
People wanted to just give up and go sunbathing, but they were literally told that he was busy, come after 12-00 and not earlier. On excursions, we took the panoramic, Soho, Mount Moses and the Bomba. I will say in general terms, they are more expensive, there is 2 times less information, it is very dangerous on the mountain, there was a hurricane wind, some girls were knocked down, our guide disappeared at the most dangerous section. We climbed the mountain and we don’t understand this is the end point or somewhere else we need to go. As a result, we saw the dawn and turned back. I don’t know about the season, but at this time this excursion is a survival game. The bomb was canceled due to a storm in Dahab, they replaced it with a VIP yacht. A VIP yacht is not a question of a yacht, as it turned out. The most ordinary yacht stood nearby and steeper. VIP this applies to the program, as the guide explained to us. I want to note that we really liked lunch on the yacht, but everything else was wasted money, since at this time there is a very cold wind.
I was able to get into the water only at the first stop, my son had diving, he, chattering his teeth, climbed into a wet suit at the second stop, at the third there was a sandy island, we didn’t go to it, it was very cold. Conclusion at this time of the year there is no point in taking such excursions. Now back to the hotel again. Restaurant, you will not die of hunger, but if someone is used to diversity, then again you are not here. Although, in principle, everything was fish and meat, rice, pasta, potatoes, grilled vegetables are standard, but get ready for the fact that the brightest dishes will be served to you in portions, defiantly refusing to add anything. on the last day at the restaurant there were wild queues for food, apparently a lot of vacationers arrived. The beach bar is something. I managed to try the hamburger once in all the time. That is, a certain amount of food is given out, if you did not have time to take it, then you are out of luck. I'm used to you lying down, sunbathing.
Hungry, I went to take myself either a potato or a hamburger, in any case, this was the case in past hotels. If you don’t want to leave the beach, you ate fast food at the bar and continue sunbathing. This number will not work here. If you want to try seize the moment and stand in line in the hope that you have enough. forgot to write about the bar. I found out about the fact that in the bar from 7-00 to 10-00 you can get free grain coffee quite by accident, although if you look very closely it is written on the price plate below, and the girl who went on an excursion with me, this coffee for two days in a row sold in the morning. I must say right away that for a dollar, coffee is made much tastier. About animation, it is, Pilates on the beach, jumbo and water gymnastics, in the evening a children's disco and a show program, I did not notice any competitions or games. On the territory of the hotel is quite large and beautiful, but dirty. tables are not wiped, and the floors are dirtier than in Soho Square.
The conclusion is that the hotel is most likely given 4 stars because of the large territory, and so it hardly reaches the top three.

We rested in Egypt not for the first time, but I am writing a review for the first time, because I was excited. The territory and the beach are great, but that's where all the good things end. If it weren't for the cozy bay, no one would have rested in this hotel!! ! The rooms are cold at night, there was one thin blanket for two, every day we asked for an extra one at the reception desk - we were promised, but never given. … More ▾ We rested in Egypt not for the first time, but I am writing a review for the first time, because I was excited.

The rooms are cold at night, there was one thin blanket for two, every day we asked for an extra one at the reception desk - we were promised, but never given. Mosquitoes in the rooms are like horses, the raptor did not help, we also addressed this issue to the administrator, but to no avail. A separate matter of food - if you present yourself as a 5* hotel, then the dishes and pastries should at least last until the end of the meal. I had the impression that 300 people are resting in the hotel, and they are cooking for 100!!!! ! Instant coffee - there is a can with a spoon!!!! ! if you come for dinner or lunch at the last hour, there will be nothing but fried chicken and rice. I don't know at all what the tourists fed their children, there is no children's menu. Animation is late, waiting is very difficult, especially with children. I do not advise anyone.

The tour was taken 4 days before departure, flew from Chisinau. Checked into a good room at 10 a. m. , Coral 1 building. Everything is quite good in the hotel: - the room is clean, a little dark in the evening, some sockets did not work, but this did not upset us, the mattresses are new and comfortable; - food is quite diverse, many baked vegetables, beef, chicken, fish, porridge, potatoes, soups, fresh vegetables, several times squid, crabs, shrimps. … More ▾ The tour was taken 4 days before departure, flew from Chisinau.

- food is quite diverse, many baked vegetables, beef, chicken, fish, porridge, potatoes, soups, fresh vegetables, several times squid, crabs, shrimps. Fruits: orange, grapefruit, tangerine, melon, watermelon, persimmon, physalis, pomegranate, dates, all in turn. They do not hesitate to pour alcohol in the restaurant and bar.
- the territory of the hotel is very beautiful, large, green, respect to the hotel employees;
- the best, of course, is the sea, corals and fish, here the rating is 10+. A beautiful sandy beach, we swam into the sea through corals, we did not use a pontoon. The pontoon needs to be repaired.
A very nice beach for children, you can swim near the shore, the bottom is sandy, corals are not particularly necessary.
They were in December, there were no winds, very comfortable weather for winter, water +24-25.
In last year's reviews, they wrote about fallen sunbeds and torn mattresses, this situation has been corrected, the mattresses are new on the beach, not so near the water park, towels are 50/50.
In the main restaurant, the furniture has been updated, there is no point in going to a la carte restaurants.
We had a late departure, the bracelets were not cut off, we had lunch and dinner on the day of departure, thanks to the hotel's policy.
Conclusion: we had a great rest, we didn't pay attention to minor flaws, we understood that we were not going to Rixos.

The hotel is close to the airport (literally 20 minutes drive), check-in from 14.00. Of course, I did not want to wait. On his own initiative, he asked me to check in earlier and a room with a sea view. I paid $70 and in 10 minutes I was already in the room. The hotel is very old (built in 1996). The room fund of course needs to be renovated, but for me this is the only frank minus). The rest is quite decent - a huge beautiful and green area, a beautiful beach with a coral reef. The purest sea. The food is no better and no worse than in other hotels in Egypt - quite varied. There were no stomach problems. . . Alcohol is so-so, but without restrictions (as many write) - how much you approach, they will pour so much. But strictly until midnight, then the bar is paid. The staff is very friendly and smiling, and absolutely everything. Great animators guys. We tried our best, despite the fact that there is no evening entertainment as such, because. family hotel. For the money, it's a worthy vacation!

We arrived at the hotel by our transfer at 12 noon. 5 people flew. We asked for 2 rooms next to each other, and one was needed with separate beds. At the reception they said that such numbers do not exist and gave us numbers on the 2nd line, 2 numbers through one.

We asked for 2 rooms next to each other, and one was needed with separate beds. At the reception they said that such numbers do not exist and gave us numbers on the 2nd line, 2 numbers through one.
Surprised that this hotel is occupied by 2 people. One shows the number, and the other carries the suitcases. Therefore, both are required to pay tips, because each has five hungry children.
The rooms are tired, but relatively clean, except for dirty curtains and fried sconces.
But a special surprise was that during the time we went to the beach, a mouse settled in the suitcase, which managed to spoil the chocolate.
When the cleaner was called, the mouse managed to hide and he did not find it, after which he calmly left. Then we saw her again, but no one even thought to take any action. So, whoever is lucky enough to get into room 7143, take a trap with you, or some kind of poison for mice.
Another unpleasant moment was the bartender on the beach named Sam. He was constantly dissatisfied with something and he was the first to run out of beer, although at the same time they saw that for $ 2 beer was in cans.
The sun loungers are almost all broken, the mattresses are torn.

Against the background of these disadvantages, it can be noted that the food is delicious, although with a poor assortment, the territory is green and well-groomed, the pools are clean, although cold. And of course, the beach and the sea are excellent, although this is not the merit of the hotel.

The beach is quite large, there are several levels. A huge plus is a short pontoon - only 70 m. As for Sharma, this is an infrequent occurrence. A very rich underwater world, a large living reef, there is something for fans of snorkeling and diving to see.
In terms of food, the hotel also did not disappoint, despite many bad reviews. The main restaurant has a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes. Also, a snack corner was open on the beach from 11:00, where you can have a snack with french fries and burgers.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming.
The only thing that upset us a little was the water park . . Most of it was disassembled and while we were resting, only 2 slides and a children's area worked. For the most part, because of the water park, we chose this hotel. Despite this, we are very pleased with the pools and the wonderful warm sea.
