Good day everyone! We rested in Menaville Safaga in late October - early November 2021. In Egypt 4 times. Immediately I want to appeal to those who write reviews - please write once you have rested. If you rested in Egypt for the first time, then your wows are understandable, but you should not write reviews, because they are not objective, you have nothing to compare with and you are misleading with your wows.

Good day everyone!
We rested in Menaville Safaga in late October - early November 2021. In Egypt 4 times.
Immediately I want to appeal to those who write reviews - please write once you have rested. If you rested in Egypt for the first time, then your wows are understandable, but you should not write reviews, because they are not objective, you have nothing to compare with and you are misleading with your wows.
So, immediately about the main thing, this is the SEA. The beach and sea are wonderful. The beach is large, sandy, gently sloping entrance, the depth starts from 10 meters. The sea was different, and transparent, and the water with milk, very beautifully shines under the water. There was no storm, no big waves, no flag was seen at all. The water was cooler than usual for this time of year, but it always floated for just as long and never froze. There is no coral reef nearby, but there are living coral islands and many small fish, I saw new fish every day, big fish also swim up to 1 m, but this is closer to the buoys and behind the buoys.
And most importantly, every day we swam with turtles, mostly with one or two in one swim, I was delighted! Turtles are different, I counted 4 or 5 different ones. Three times I saw stingrays, once a huge “wing span” of more than two meters swam above the turtle. Several times I spotted gray moray eels grazing in a field with grass next to corals, and many times I saw cuttlefish swimming in a row.
ACCOMMODATION: the room is good, spacious, bright, clean. The mattress is firm but comfortable. The bathroom is large, there was hot water around the clock, the water pressure was good, there were shower gel, shampoo, and soap from cosmetics. Cleaning is good, upon request. They always left $ 1 for a tip, they played swans, elephants, boats, etc. for us.
FOOD: very good for my taste, thanks to the chef, it's a pity that he never went out into the hall, as in the second hotels (or maybe we didn't see it). At lunch and in the evening, fish, chicken, meat in stock, i. e.
prepared differently every day. Side dishes - potatoes, rice, pasta are also prepared in different ways, that is, the food is not tired. Vegetables, salads. Of the fruits during the rest were guava, melon, pomegranate, dates, figs, grapes, orange, persimmon. Pastries in the morning are varied and delicious. But I didn’t like pies and cakes, mostly biscuits. I love puff and sand, but there were very few of them and only by the opening of the restaurant, but probably it's for the best - I didn't get fat.
I would like to note the friendly and helpful staff at the reception, thank you!
MINUSES:
There are no normal juices in the bar on the beach, there is only a type of yupa, that is, solid chemistry, I really missed it on the beach.
Weak entertainment program in the evenings, the same all days, at 8 pm a children's disco, then a girl dances a belly dance, and then a young man twists skirts, and that's all.
I turn to the administration, it is possible, and the necessary program for at least 5-6 days, every day for the arrival (7 days) is different.
Another disadvantage is that there is not a single Ukrainian TV channel.
Another unpleasant surprise was the waiters in the restaurant. In the first days they rush towards, smile, greet. And then, if you do not pay a tip, then they do not see you point-blank. In the evenings, waiters occupy tables for paying customers, so it takes a long time to look for a table immediately after the start of dinner, once the senior hall manager had to make a wow, so they vacated the table in a second. This phenomenon is also present in Makada - Bay, where mostly Germans. In Hurghada and Sharm, we did not observe this. I appeal to the administration, teach your waiters, especially the older one, at least to say hello for free and not to pretend not to see. And I don't need their artificial grin. Of course, this does not apply to everyone, there were those who greeted and smiled naturally, but they were few.
I want to say a few words about the tour operator. The TEZ-tour, as always, is on top, convenient and almost without rescheduling the departure time (postponed by 1 hour). A well-organized excursion to Abu Simbel, discovered a completely different Egypt - Nubia, very interesting, thank you! One minus, at night it is very cold in the minibus, we caught a little cold, the necessary climate control system.
In general, in a nutshell - I recommend the hotel!
P. S. I wrote in Russian so that the hotel staff, who do not understand Ukrainian, could read.
All is well, may you be lucky!

Hello. We rested at the Menaville Safaga Hotel & Resort 4 * from 29.09 to 9.10. Before that, more than once, we rested in Sharm in 5 * hotels and decided to change the situation. The hotel was chosen on the principle of price-quality, as there are very few reviews on this hotel and mostly old ones. Departure and arrival took place without delays and transfers according to the schedule.

Hello. We rested at the Menaville Safaga Hotel & Resort 4 * from 29.09 to 9.10. Before that, more than once, we rested in Sharm in 5 * hotels and decided to change the situation. The hotel was chosen on the principle of price-quality, as there are very few reviews on this hotel and mostly old ones. Departure and arrival took place without delays and transfers according to the schedule. Departed from Kyiv at 5.30 arrived The transfer to the hotel took about an hour. The bracelets were put on almost immediately and given the key to the room. We didn't have time for breakfast.
Hotel pros:
1. Azure sandy sea, 400 meters long, with coral islands and a smooth beach entry. Corals are not needed. With a maximum occupancy of the hotel of 500 people, there was enough space for everyone. Mushrooms with wind protection stand at a decent distance from each other. Watch the link https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=cCSV2zaWGlc&t=55s&ab_channel=%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%A7 2. Food, for 4 * just super. Cutlery in personal packaging, waiters bring wine, beer in glass goblets. Not a lot of scarce in fruit, otherwise everything is tasty and in abundance. For drinks - normal coffee, only at the pool bar, cola and fanta are normal, drinks like Jupi are very diluted. The beer is good.
3. The number of rooms is old, although partial repairs have been made, You can see fresh tiles, new TVs, large refrigerators, Cleaning is mediocre. Neither doppar nor baksheesh improves cleaning and does not contribute to the appearance of figures from towels. Change of towels and bedding, throw on the floor, change. Don't quit, just refuel and fold. The soundproofing is very poor, the beds creak even when just SLEEPING. Plumbing we had all serviceable, hot and cold water without interruption and normal pressure. Video about the room can be viewed at the link, there is no tea set. Take a boiler. coffee and carrier. Very good for morning coffee. There were no mosquitoes, the fumigator taken was not useful.

Minuses:
1. The staff does not understand Russian well. The hotel is designed for Europe. Lots of Germans and French.
2. Weak animation.
3. No lobby bar.
4. One LA CART (fish) and that one for a fee. They charge $44 for two.
5. There is only one pool, the depth is up to two meters. With cool underwater fountains.
6. There seems to be Internet at the reception, we used the Orange mobile package for $ 10 at the airport. We had enough for all 11 days without turning off.
7. The wind blew almost constantly. Water degrees 25-27. Although there were days without wind, it immediately became hot.
8. There are only two pharmacies near the hotel, with a weak assortment of medicines.
In general, we liked the rest. The hotel can be recommended for a relaxing holiday with children.

Rested in this hotel for 8 days, the main advantage of the hotel is the first line, from Hurghada transfer taking about an hour. The hotel area is quite large, we were given a great room overlooking the sea and pool at no extra charge. I was pleasantly surprised by the change of linen and cleaning every day.

The hotel has a rental windsurfing and kites, which is also nice, near a small pier with boats that take tourists for walks, diving, fishing, etc. were standard local (quite good), nice staff and always trying to make the holiday enjoyable for tourists. Conclusion - a good hotel for a quiet family vacation, with a beautiful beach, staff, kitchen. If you look closely, the hotel is not new, somewhere there are nuances in the interior, but the rooms are clean and beautiful, there is no super team of animators, etc.
but it's all not noticeable if you want not expensive and good rest, I definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying that I liked my stay at the hotel 100% and I would definitely like to return to Menaville again. Firstly, the hotel is in a fairly good location near Safaga. Around it there are several more hotels and shops for tourists and locals, that is, there is no external noise. Secondly, the hotel consists of small two-story houses and looks very very nice: a huge amount of greenery, flowers, clean and beautiful.

Firstly, the hotel is in a fairly good location near Safaga. Around it there are several more hotels and shops for tourists and locals, that is, there is no external noise.
Secondly, the hotel consists of small two-story houses and looks very very nice: a huge amount of greenery, flowers, clean and beautiful. We were placed in a room on the first floor, near the pool and quite close to the sea. At first we decided that we were unlucky, we thought it would be noisy, the windows do not overlook the sea, but in the end we were more than satisfied, there is no noise, there are two steps to the sea, the only thing is that it is far from the restaurant, but we need a short walk before and after eating was just handy. The room itself is the most ordinary, you can find fault with cleaning, not everything is perfect, but not so significant, overall not bad. Of the minuses - in the shower there is no very hot water, there is only warm. Air conditioning is good but very noisy. Only two sockets, but you can ask for a tee. Safe only at the reception.
Then the beach and entry into the sea: there are also reefs where you can swim with a mask, look at the fish, admire the beauty of the sea and a sandy place where you can swim without fear of stepping on any living creatures. As for the infrastructure of the beach, there were no questions: there are always free sunbeds with mattresses, huge umbrellas, fences and everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Everything is fine in the restaurant, at lunch and dinner there is always a choice of beef, chicken and fish, a lot of vegetables, but not enough fruit, maybe we were just out of season, at least there were always dates. The devices are sterilized and individually wrapped. The waiters are very polite and pleasant, as are the rest of the staff.
As for the animation, it may seem to someone that it is not enough, but we had enough of everything. You can always play games on the beach, every day aerobics, waterball and aquagym in the pool, in the evening during dinner Mini disco for children (children's program is quite short), and periodically various traditional shows, very cool!
Once again I would like to note what a wonderful staff works, everyone is so polite, friendly and smiling, by the end of the holiday it seems that everyone has become friends : )
I strongly advise everyone to go, especially those who are family-oriented or just relaxing.

1. The hotel, in part, was chosen at sunset in the sea, they did not lose. Sunset is good, gently sloping, sandy shore, in some places there are corals and lovers of the underwater world will not be bored. A large turtle swam a few times. After sunset, swimming is not advisable. Fish swim to the coral islets, quite large.

1. The hotel, in part, was chosen at sunset in the sea, they did not lose. Sunset is good, gently sloping, sandy shore, in some places there are corals and lovers of the underwater world will not be bored. A large turtle swam a few times. After sunset, swimming is not advisable. Fish swim to the coral islets, quite large. The beach definitely needs attention. The beach is clean, there is always staff who removes glasses and excess garbage. As soon as you come to the beach, they immediately bring mattresses to sunbeds and, in general, the staff who work on the beach are very pleasant and smiling.
Adel, the bartender at the beach bar - fire! The most pleasant and does its job at 200%! We didn’t have time to come up, he already makes the drink we need, treats us to coffee and makes the atmosphere there as inviting and comfortable as possible.
Also, I want to say that people who offer pigtails, excursions, restaurants on the beach are usually a little arrogant, BUT NOT IN THIS CASE! I would like to say a huge thank you to Samy. He will always show and tell the truth on excursions, offer the best and most interesting options, and in general a very pleasant person who will support any conversation. He also sits in the lobby of the hotel at lunchtime.
2. The food is good, fresh. During the 8 days of stay at the hotel, there was never a hint of spoiled food. Of the fruits were: oranges, bananas, dates, melon, apples, grapes. There is also a large selection of vegetables. There is always fish and meat for lunch and dinner. Also, various side dishes: rice, spaghetti, french fries (and a bunch of its varieties), couscous, etc.
Cutlery - packed. There is always a bottle of water on the table, they will always bring as much as you need upon request. Breakfasts and lunches are held indoors, in the dining room itself. But dinner is served on a large terrace. Very atmospheric and beautiful.
3. Animation is not bad. Guys, Ahmeds, well done, they do their job well. They do not bother, do not climb into the eyes, they beautifully offer to play darts and take part in local entertainment.
4. The room was cleaned well. Changed towels and linen every time.
Check in was quick, took about 10 minutes. We asked for a room with a sea view and a balcony, they gave it without any problems for a small surcharge.
Of course, since the hotel is not new, there are disadvantages in the rooms. But if you go to the sea and keep the mood for a positive holiday, you will like it.
AND NOW ABOUT THE MAIN THING, about the staff at this hotel. These are people who really took a vacation and leaving, on the last day, we even shed a tear.
In the restaurant, the staff is very neat and attentive. I did not have time to sit down - they will already offer drinks. And if you sit down in the same place for several days, your drinks will be put on the right table in advance. Unfortunately, I forgot the name, the waiter with glasses (he is the only one there) and the worker with him next to Ismail make the food even tastier with their presence. Always with a smile, always positive.
The bartender at Cactus - Tito, will make your evening even more enjoyable. Also, by chance, met with the executive directors of the hotel. Always smile, ask how the vacation is, is everything okay.
Quickly resolve issues that arise. In our case, the watch was lost. Through our fault, they left them on the sofas near the animation. In the morning, remembering them, and asking the staff for help, the watch was on hand in 10 minutes.
Definitely a hotel to return to. And a very important role in this is played by the staff who perform their work at the highest level.
I highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay there again!

We have been resting in Egypt for many years, so there is something to compare with. Finally found a place where you want to return. We visited Menaville for the first time 2 years ago, missed a year due to coronovirus, and finally a long-awaited vacation!

We have been resting in Egypt for many years, so there is something to compare with. Finally found a place where you want to return. We visited Menaville for the first time 2 years ago, missed a year due to coronovirus, and finally a long-awaited vacation! Without hesitation, we decided to return to the hotel again, where we liked it, and did not regret it. Despite the fact that two years have passed, the hotel staff came up, greeted us and said that they remember us) Special thanks to Amir. Why did you decide to return?
Firstly, this is the sea, a huge sandy beach, there is a slightly rocky entrance, there is clean sand, which is very important when relaxing with a child. We swam without special shoes. There is a small home coral reef where you can see fish, there is a local turtle. Secondly - excellent food, a lot of meat dishes, delicious desserts, decent alcohol, especially beer. This is the first hotel I visited where the restaurant staff helps to take food to the room, packs it in foil, which is very important for us, because the child loves to eat on the beach and at home. The waiter Atif brought fruits for our daughter, figs and mangoes, every day he pleased us with new Russian expressions). Thirdly, outdoor dining, we could finally sit quietly and enjoy dinner while the child plays in the playground on the illuminated beach. I really liked the unobtrusive animation. We enjoyed visiting all the entertainment offered.
Special thanks to animator Ahmed who was able to connect with our non-verbal 5 year old. My daughter happily ran to the children's disco, recognized the animator on the beach and pulled his pen). My husband went to volleyball, and I went to morning exercises and water aerobics. In the evening there were entertainment events on the stage and on the beach, which are standard for all hotels, and probably karaoke was arranged twice especially for Russian-speaking visitors). Organized a trip to a night disco for young people. Cleaning is the same as in all hotels, superficial, most importantly - sheets, towels and the floor are clean. The restaurant is clean, individual packages with cutlery.
The staff is mostly English-speaking, but many are happy to start learning Russian, although they understand the main questions perfectly. For a small surcharge, they helped to choose a room, in accordance with our requirements, with a view of the garden, the sea and not far from the restaurant. Many write that the reception is ancient and not presentable, for me this place has a special homely feel. After breakfast and lunch, my daughter lay down on the sofa, and we could safely surf the Internet, although the Internet is not very good), but we didn’t go for this and minor flaws did not affect the overall impression. Near the hotel there is a shop where you can order and buy fruit.
There is no better place for a relaxing family holiday. We will definitely be back again!

This is the first hotel I visited where the restaurant staff helps to take food to the room, packs it in foil, which is very important for us, because the child loves to eat on the beach and at home. The waiter Atif brought fruits for our daughter, figs and mangoes, every day he pleased us with new Russian expressions). Thirdly, outdoor dining, we could finally sit quietly and enjoy dinner while the child plays in the playground on the illuminated beach. I really liked the unobtrusive animation. We enjoyed visiting all the entertainment offered.
Special thanks to animator Ahmed who was able to connect with our non-verbal 5 year old. My daughter happily ran to the children's disco, recognized the animator on the beach and pulled his pen). My husband went to volleyball, and I went to morning exercises and water aerobics. In the evening there were entertainment events on the stage and on the beach, which are standard for all hotels, and probably karaoke was arranged twice especially for Russian-speaking visitors). Organized a trip to a night disco for young people. Cleaning is the same as in all hotels, superficial, most importantly - sheets, towels and the floor are clean. The restaurant is clean, individual packages with cutlery.
The staff is mostly English-speaking, but many are happy to start learning Russian, although they understand the main questions perfectly. For a small surcharge, they helped to choose a room, in accordance with our requirements, with a view of the garden, the sea and not far from the restaurant. Many write that the reception is ancient and not presentable, for me this place has a special homely feel. After breakfast and lunch, my daughter lay down on the sofa, and we could safely surf the Internet, although the Internet is not very good), but we didn’t go for this and minor flaws did not affect the overall impression. Near the hotel there is a shop where you can order and buy fruit.
There is no better place for a relaxing family holiday. We will definitely be back again!

Apart from a good beach, everything else in this hotel is just awful. The beach is not bad, entry into the water in places with stones, but this is not critical. That is why we chose this hotel, not even suspecting that 4 * can be such a horror. Cleanliness: none to put it mildly. The hotel is old and worn out.

Cleanliness: none to put it mildly.
The hotel is old and worn out. In the lobby, in the restaurant, in the room, and even on the paths between the houses, you will be accompanied by the smells of rotten meat, sewage, old age, and many others. The bed was not only old, turned gray, but also dirty. What is washing the windows or cleaning the air conditioner in this hotel they do not know. Therefore, you will either close the window with dirty curtains, or you will look through a dirty, unwashed window for several years (not to be unfounded, I am attaching a photo). And in addition, you will "enjoy" the nasty smell of the air conditioner. Lizards, bugs and other living creatures can come to visit you through the cracks in the doors. If we get lucky)
The food here is dangerous.
We tried to eat simple food: scrambled eggs, croissant, toast, rice, vegetables or not eat at all. Many of the dishes even looked inedible and it was alarming. But on the 4th day of our stay, we started to get upset. And not only with us. Almost everyone we talked to complained about the same problem. I travel a lot, but I have never seen such terrible food.
The guys animators (there are two of them) are trying, but there is very little animation. Anyone who loves outdoor activities, especially children, will be very bored. There are also few people, especially young people.
The staff is friendly, but they cannot change the fact that the conditions in which they work and in which we rest are not suitable for recreation. It's just hard labor. Therefore, we wanted to quickly end this "misunderstanding" called rest and return home.

Initially, we planned another vacation, it so happened that the hotel was chosen quickly, and on a certain budget. We arrived on 06/23/2021, check-in was quick. The standard room was naturally very small, we asked to show the room better))) of course for extra. fee. The administrator showed the room near the pool and the sea, the room is good, and they stopped on it.

The standard room was naturally very small, we asked to show the room better))) of course for extra. fee. The administrator showed the room near the pool and the sea, the room is good, and they stopped on it. They gave $ 20, to which the admin said little and gave another $ 10. And from another family, I generally asked for $ 50 and the room turned out to be not the best. (
The first three days it was very unusual, there were few people (very few) there was no animation for children. We met three families and became friends. So they entertained themselves. After another three days, there were more and more people, entertainment and animation appeared. By the end of the holiday there were a lot of people.
The cuisine is delicious, but not the same as in 5 stars. It is natural. The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly, the bartenders are excellent, the man at the pool, generally a great fellow, friendly, helpful, do not spare him a tip.
Sea: the entrance to the sea is sand, the sea is super, but there are a lot of living creatures near the bridge, it is forbidden to swim in the evening, and rightly so, because the whole underwater world near the coast is dangerous. A lot of sea urchins, a friend pierced her heel, in general, swimming shoes are required. Satisfied with the holiday, did not want to leave))))

This hotel was opened in 1991 and has not been renovated since. And so now my review! Pros: 1. The sea, it's cool, not deep, the beach is sandy, in some places there are stones, there are places where you can easily go into the sea and look at corals, fish, sea urchins. 2. Adel - a bartender on the beach, whom you always want to go to, friendly, attentive, smiling, we didn’t even go to another bartender in the pool This is all.

This hotel was opened in 1991 and has not been renovated since.
And so now my review!
Pros:
1. The sea, it's cool, not deep, the beach is sandy, in some places there are stones, there are places where you can easily go into the sea and look at corals, fish, sea urchins.
2. Adel - a bartender on the beach, whom you always want to go to, friendly, attentive, smiling, we didn’t even go to another bartender in the pool
This is all.
Minuses:
1. Location of the hotel, 45 km. From Hurghada airport. This means that you are brought last (about 2.5 hours driving), and when you want to go on an excursion, they will pick you up first and bring you last.
2. Appearance: reception, territory, playground, rooms - no repairs were done here at all after the opening. The exterior is a motel by the road.
The central entrance - doors like a sideboard once was at my grandmother's.
The territory is dirty, untidy, the greenery is dried up, in some places there is or not at all, the smell of old age with hints of sewerage.
Playground: I looked at the photo a la travel agencies, I didn’t find a match, the paints burned out, the house and booths are all dirty, there are only crows on the playground, there were no children at all for 7 days.
3. Food. Diverse, but not edible), as if there is a choice, but the same thing. Fruits (dates, bananas, orange grapes, watermelon) are always only three kinds. Sweet - croissants and pastries, buns are not edible. Many people and we also have a disorder, and as a result, diarrhea. I think unsanitary conditions and food is to blame.
4. The number was given with access to the pool (nothing was paid extra). The room and bathroom were dirty, the air conditioner was yellow, the refrigerator was the same - but it worked. The bed, the curtains are all stained, the cracks in the door (a lizard almost ran in). Every day they left a tip, only garbage was removed from the bin, they added toilet paper, soap, shower gel, they seemed to change towels and, of course, they made swans from them. This is what cleaning looked like
5. Animation, sports. There are 2 Ahmed animators.
at 10.00 - morning gymnastics, 11.00 darts, 12.00 bocha - until 12.30 it's on the beach
at 15.00-15.30 water polo pool, 15.30-16.00 volleyball beach
evening animation from 20.30-21.00 only for children, sometimes adults were entertained and that's all for C grade. Boring(
P. S. The rest was spoiled from the first day, then an upset stomach was added, slightly brightening up acquaintance and communication with vacationers.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL, its price is a maximum of $400 for 7 days.

Nice calm hotel. Check-in is fast and without asking for money. The dining room has delicious and fresh food. The service is very good. The rooms are clean. Linen was changed daily, but we never even saw when. They didn't put money in. Only once, when I forgot my mask on the beach and the one who gives me the towel, gave me a few dollars.

Linen was changed daily, but we never even saw when. They didn't put money in. Only once, when I forgot my mask on the beach and the one who gives me the towel, gave me a few dollars. Clogged sewer - fixed immediately. The hotel is mostly Germans. Therefore, high prices for massage - 35 euros. The sea is flat with a sandy bay. Its coral reef is small, but there are quite a variety of fish to see. Animation can be said to be non-existent. There is one Russian-language channel on TV. The attitude of the staff is very helpful and friendly. Well, what a bore you have to be to be rude! Wi-fi is free only at the reception and none. I recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday.
