We chose the hotel based on the reviews, which were different, but more good.

I think the rating is inflated.

General: The hotel is small: L-shaped four-storey building on the main street. If you got a room overlooking the courtyard with a pool, you are lucky if - on the roadway, then out of luck. The hotel has practically no territory. It consists of a swimming pool and terraces of a dining room and a bar with tables and chairs (sofas). From the green - there are two palm trees near the fence. the pool is good. Nothing else is placed on the territory.

Now for the bad:

1. Are you ready to eat thawed chicken nuggets, thawed beef medallions, thawed mackerel and vegetable mixes? Do you like undercooked Brussels sprouts and overcooked cauliflower? If not, you need to look for another hotel. And this kitchen is definitely not 4 *, but much more modest.

2. Do you like a broken shower on the beach and a smelly toilet there? Not?
You better look for something better for the same money.


3. Would you like long explanations why you have to pay a dollar for a beach towel and then try to return it clean? I did not begin to listen to the long theory of the attendant-masseur Mahmud, but simply used my own beach towel, as Turpravda advised.

4. If you do not like it when you are almost forced to impose the services of a massage therapist. as the hotel attendant Mahmud does, and even provokes you to a scandal, you better find another hotel. away from the obsessive Mahmud. By the way, if I were the owner, I would have fired him long ago. judging by the mass of negativity about him in other reviews. It undermines the reputation of the hotel.

5 The so-called mini-bar in the room (in fact, an old refrigerator), stupidly locked in a nightstand without ventilation, looks more like an oven. Turning it off would be better.

5.
One last thing: Sinatra is probably one of the last hotels on Earth where they still charge money for the use of wi-fi and a safe in the room.

About the good:

1. The hotel is clean and well maintained with pleasant interiors.

2. Air conditioners in the rooms are working.

3. Women cleaners do their job diligently for a dollar or not.

4. And in general, the staff (except for the attendant Mahmud) is friendly and correct.

5. It's not far to go to the beach. the beach itself is rather big, there are plenty of free sunbeds (by the way, there are also enough of them by the pool). But there is no hotel bar on the beach, nothing but a smelly toilet and a broken shower.

6. The beach is pebbly, there are also large cobblestones, but you can enter the sea and get out of it without harming your health. especially in corals.

7. The view of the mountains is amazing.

8. Main plus: no deafening, 400 decibel animation. as in neighboring hotels. There is none at all. There is only vintage music to match the name of the hotel.
Conclusion: the hotel does not live up to its 4 stars, but if you only need the sea, a bed and modest food, then it will do. For comparison: in an ordinary hotel in Egyptian Hurghada, you will get dazzling luxury for the same money. territory of 10 hectares, gourmet cuisine, free safe, refrigerator, beach towel and Wi-Fi.


The final conclusion: the holiday was not spoiled, but there is absolutely no desire to return to the Sinatra hotel.
