We really, really, really enjoyed staying at this hotel! This is what a real 5* hotel should be like!
The hotel is ideally located in Naama Bay: away from the noise and crowds, but close to restaurants, shops, entertainment, places for walking.
The service is calm, cultured, polite, caring, but unobtrusive, but respectful and very friendly.
Excellent food: absolutely everything is fresh, tasty, beautifully served, the variety is such that not everyone could try in 10 days. Designed for all national tastes! Lots of fruits, Lipton tea, coffee, yoghurts, hot and cold milk, hibiscus. . . Feta cheese is the best in the world! Goava juice freshly squeezed with pulp and goava itself - just super!

Our room was very well decorated in some style, the shower and plumbing are modern, everything worked well, the beds are wide, comfortable and soft. Safe in the room (in the closet), fridge-bar, air conditioning, TV with 1 Russian channel and many foreign languages. The hotel has 3 floors: the main floor is the 2nd, it has an elevator from the garden to the reception. On the 3rd floor - a beautiful warm pool, jacuzzi and rooms on the deck. The pool opens at 8-00, and you can swim only before sunset, both at sea and in the pool. In December it was about 4 pm.
Then began the fantastic fabulous nightlife in Sharm El Sheikh!! ! There are wonderful restaurants with Egyptian cuisine and seafood: ONIONS, VINO, TAM-TAM. . . Seafood soup costs 28 pounds (very tasty and a large portion), and very, very tasty tomato soup costs 16 pounds. Crab fillets cost £.40 (spicy). The most expensive dish cost 104 pounds. Beer Sakara 15-17 pounds per bottle. Hookah - 5 pounds. A minute of conversation in VODOFONE costs $1 from their phone.
Just do not order all the dishes at once: the portions are quite large, you can not cope with such a volume if you are not used to eating a lot.
For shopping, it is better to go to the Old Market, this is the old city in 10-15 minutes by minibus, the fare costs 1 pound. The exchange rate in banks is 5.5 pounds per dollar. You can also change late in the evening.
The beach is very pleasant both for entering the sea and for swimming. There are two massage places on the beach. There is a sand volleyball court. On deck - billiards. Sunbeds with soft mattresses, shower. But the pool is so warm and inviting, right next to the room, that I didn’t want to go down to the sea from the deck !! ! And you could swim without rubber slippers ($ 5), without fear of stepping on some kind of sea urchin!
The sea is very salty! Lots of life! I didn't really like it when I saw a flock of 100 big fish side by side in the water, or at the edge of the shore, thousands or maybe. a million small fish, on which a gull falls from a height, snatches a fish, eats it, and again rushes from a height into the midst of fish...
Not without reason, Europeans prefer a safe warm pool!
Although I took a mask and snorkel, and bought special shoes for safety, and there is a diving center nearby and every day people went to dive...

The hotel was so good, comfortable, cozy, and there are so many interesting things in Sharm that we did not want to change such a pleasure for trips and excursions !! ! Although in Naama they distribute advertisements with prices and offers for excursions. There is something to choose from.
The hotel does not have animation (or we did not notice it), very pleasant music plays all day, many lounges for relaxation, viewing platforms with beautiful views.
We chose a smaller, quieter hotel, without compatriots, so that there is reliable safe food, a convenient beach with good entry into the sea, and also that the hotel is in the very center of Sharm. We wanted to immerse ourselves in the English-speaking environment in order to improve the English language. We got all this in full and are happy that we chose IBEROTEL LIDO SHARM!!!
I wish you not to make a mistake in choosing a hotel in accordance with your intentions, wishes and expectations from a holiday in Egypt!
