Since it is 4* and located on the 2nd beach line, you need to walk a little to the beach or take an open bus, but it is absolutely simple and fast. The only relative minus of this hotel is the rooms (in need of renovation), but the bedding and towels are new and the staff tries to keep the rooms clean. The beach is large, 3-level, clean, two comfortable pontoons for entering the sea, there are enough sunbeds, beach towels can be taken at 4 *, and rented at 5 * or vice versa - no problem. The bay is protected from the winds, the sea is beautiful: reef, fish. Animation team is trying, there is enough entertainment.
I left my expensive glasses on the beach. The next day I went to the reception and they returned them to me (the beach cleaning worker found the glasses). They were pleasantly surprised. Vacationers said that the girl lost her iPhone, and the hotel workers also returned it. We are happy with our vacation! We recommend this hotel and would come again!
As for food - everything was very tasty, tastier than in the 5-ke.
The rooms are ordinary as in all of Egypt.
Cleaning is all right - van dollar and you have cleanliness in the room and water.
All the bartenders are friendly, give a dollar they will meet you all the time, but I advise you to buy swill in the dutik. In Egypt itself, there is no normal liquor, we checked and tasted it, but if you don’t want to spend money, then I advise their beer or white wine. Yes, I almost forgot: there is one bartender - don’t give him a dollar, it’s not a bartender, but hell, either Ahmed or Mahmed - he’s a little pot-bellied, after you give him a dollar, he demands more and does not fulfill your request.
Yes, the guide from Anex tour turned out to be friendly and not intrusive, he helped in everything.
Yes, there is a plus - so as not to walk to the sea, a bus goes, and I'll tell you, it often goes. I really liked the sea, it was clean, the beach was surprisingly clean, in winter almost all the sunbeds were occupied, in general we had a great rest! Thanks a lot to Christina from Travel Tour, thanks to her the trip was very cheap.
I had the practice of resting in Vekeyshine 4 * with the right to use Beach 5 * - these are Dreams hotels in Sharm. Island Garden Resort4* and Island View Resort5* did not disappoint either).
The check-in took place after dinner (we were on the road from 05-00 in the morning), as we wanted. Suitcases were waiting for us, and we enjoyed dinner - the kitchen is good, the bartender is smart! Room №348 - 2nd floor, pool view. All the minor flaws that I noticed were corrected immediately (towel, hangers, water added on request).
Let's go see Soho and Island View Resort5 * - a lot of lights, a singing fountain, all sorts of figures, cafes, restaurants, shops - the prices are much higher than in Naama Bay.
Island View Resort 5 * is also full of lights. A 5* restaurant is more pretentious than a 4* restaurant, but the food is the same.
We went to Ali's souvenir shop, I recommend it - a very interesting person, speaks excellent Russian and will help with advice in resolving any issue!
Morning. We slept well, hot-cold water at any time of the day. Breakfast is great - yoghurts, breakfast cereals, eggs, milk porridge, cheeses with various additives, various buns, jams.
Swimwear, on the beach - you can walk or take a bus. It’s better on foot (to burn calories) - we go beyond the barrier, to the right and straight, we don’t turn anywhere, the road leads directly to the sea - first the roadway, and then between Concorde and our View5 *.
Beach party, relax will not work. Two pontoons, no entry from the shore - corals! Mask on the face and "fish dances" to watch.
Animators are trying, active holidaymakers will be happy).
Lunch only at Fatima - special thanks to all the staff of this panoramic restaurant on the seashore - a request for you, Karina, to convey to the hotel management the admiration for the work of the chef Mohamed (very tall), both in the Fatima restaurant and in preparing a snack from 15:00 at the beach bar. The food is deliciously cooked, replenished in a timely manner, and this is supervised by this very tall Mohamed. A lot of people eat in this restaurant, and the tables are cleaned and served very quickly.
We dined at 4 * - meat and fish were cooked deliciously, I had enough vegetables and fruits. The staff at the restaurant responded very quickly to requests. My favorite gin + sprite or 7ap has always been for me. The bar works excellently, the bartenders are smart, smiling. The waiters work like bees.
A fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey is a change of towels - they will take it away, but they will forget to bring it. Therefore, cleaning was abandoned, garbage bags, water and toilet paper were taken from the cleaner's trolley ourselves. Tip - take plenty of wet wipes - almost all surfaces in the room are dusty and sticky.
In 4 * the pool is cold, and in 5 * it is heated - after the sea you can flounder before sunset. There are enough beach towels and you do not need to carry them to your room.
The hotel grounds are well maintained and clean. Only for 4 * some kind of repair, but we didn’t go there, we went to the beach along the road.
Vacation was a success! BUT Shark Bay did not live up to my expectations - the north and NE and NW winds still penetrate through. Only lying on a fenced (as in Hurghada) sun lounger with other sun loungers could warm up in the sun after swimming, and in the presence of these winds it is very cold here in winter and even swimming in the warm sea does not save!
All the best and good luck in choosing a GOOD hotel for YOUR vacation!
From the "-": everything works in the room, but repairs would not hurt. Well, the reception looks somehow not fun. We arrived at about 5 am, put on our bracelets at 7 am and checked in at about 8 am. It's $5 per person. And so they say you have to wait 12.
I liked the fish restaurant, you can sign up for it and get in for free once. We dined at a 5 * near the sea, from 15.00 in a bar on the shore, french fries, salads and rolls with meatballs. The food is very varied and lots of everything. Even when there is wind in the hotel, there is no wind and no current on the shore. Even on a very cold and windy day, we swam and sunbathed. A good guide from TUI, we took an excursion and accompanied the guide Waled Maher really liked it.
