“Turkish and massage”

I loved the receptionist Mahmoud, he took his time to explain everything to us. We did the Turkish bath, steam, sauna and massage. Aya and Mohammed looked after us. They were so firm with the massage, just the way we wanted. The bath too was awesome. I can’t fault anything. Fantastic experience we had. I highly recommend. And one more thing, they were very generous with time, the whole experience lasted over 2 hours.

“I come back here again 👍”

We visited this hotel for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a beautiful place in a great location, and the staff is friendly, so I'd gladly return.

Great Hotel which has obviously been updated quite recently. There was plenty of space around the two pools and a short walk to the beach. No problem getting a sunbed on the beach in January/February. The snorkeling was amazing from the Hotel beach and neighbouring Hotel. No real need for a boat trip to see a great variety of beautiful fish. However a boat trip is recommended for larger coral. The food was varied, tasty and plentiful at the Hotel and after I highlighted that I required Gluten Free meals, the Catering staff were on hand every mealtime to make sure I was looked after and pointed me in the direction of suitable food. This was excellent service, above and beyond anything I expected. Felt very well looked after. The entertainment on the beach was energetic, I was happy to watch from a sunbed and relax in the sun. The music was just right too. Having been to Sharm El Sheikh many times, this was one of the best Hotels for service, standards and staff. Would recommend to anyone.

“Ok but that’s all”

As with most places, there are positives and negatives. In terms of the positives, it’s a lovely well kept and clean complex with numerous swimming pools and a nice beach area.

As with most places, there are positives and negatives. In terms of the positives, it’s a lovely well kept and clean complex with numerous swimming pools and a nice beach area. The majority of the staff were brilliant and the entertainment was very good. The complex is split into 2 with a road running down the middle with the Sharm Resort on one side and the Island Aqua Park on the other. Despite booking in the Sharm Resort we were given rooms in the Island complex but this was fine given we’d requested twin rooms and they’d facilitated this. I terms of the all inclusive, the beer was ok given it was bottled and not draught. In terms of negatives, the hotel is very isolated with not a lot going on around. If you wanted to go anywhere you were reliant on taxis which cost £800 Egyptian to get to Soho Square (5mins away) and back and £1,800 Egyptian to the Old Market and back (20mins away). Whilst the beach is nice, the sea isn’t great there and there is very limited coral and, therefore, fish. Whilst a 5-10min walk from the complex, depending on where your room is located, there was a shuttle bus that brand to and from the beach, although we never felt the need to use it. The food was ok with a bbq every night, though on a lot of occasions we found meat to be overcooked and/or tough. We never got to try the à la carte as our assumption was all restaurants would be open every night but we tried to book twice and on the first occasion were advised we could only book 24hrs in advance, and on the second we were advised that only one restaurant was open per evening and it wasn’t our restaurant of choice. That said, the menu’s for the Oriental and Chinese restaurants were replicated in the main restaurant so whether they’d have been any different or better I don’t know. Pizza was served daily at the beach bar but we found this to be bland and pretty tasteless. Drinks were disappointing - all spirits smelled and tasted similar and despite being bottled the beer was predominantly served warm. We had a good week which offered value for money, but in all honesty probably wouldn’t stay there again due to its location and the sea in that area.
