I am secretly surprised by the low rating of this hotel, which deserves a solid top five for its category and high occupancy.
Positive:
Food: a large restaurant with a diverse menu (for 9 days there was chicken, beef, duck, fish and turkey, we bring all the meat tasty and soft). There is no meat only at breakfast. Very tasty sweets, always fruits and vegetables.
Staff: attentive, efficient, will help you carry a plate or find a chaise longue on the beach
Territory: huge. 2 heated pools, one simple, aquagorks, clear sea, windless bay. They began to import fine white sand over plain sand. The entrance to the sea is both from the pontoon and from the shore, the bottom is sandy. We
have purchased additional deck chairs.
The room has a sea view, +50 dollars, and it's worth it!
We checked in 10 minutes after arrival and were immediately invited to breakfast.
Cons: a somewhat tired hotelier, if you are waiting for luxury for that kind of money, then you should go to the Ritz or Marriott.
towels are not changed (well, that's understandable - there are thousands of sets), but the rooms have a hairdryer, soap, shampoo, lotion and gel. There is always water, a safe, a balcony or a terrace.
In general, an excellent economy class hotel in all respects, we will be happy to visit again.
Excursions from a tour operator are traditionally very expensive, for example, a 1.5-hour trip on a bathyscaphe in the company of 100 people costs (NOT worth it) about $50.
Shopping: call for a free transfer to Mango market, really normal prices without haggling (for example: $ 2.5 sneakers for smoking; 4-5 men's cotton T-shirt, etc.).

We had a rest from November 14th to 24th. The weather is comfortably warm (23 at night, 29 in the afternoon), there is almost no wind, the sun is gentle, the sea is warm and calm. The reef is beautiful, there are a lot of fish, it's interesting to swim. You can buy a mask at the hotel's store. It is necessary to bargain so that you do not lose.
The hotel is good on a solid 4. Beautiful blooming and green territory, they take great care, which cannot be said about the cleaning of the rooms. The rooms are old, there has been no repair for a very long time, it is clear that somewhere they tried to patch up the flaws, but poorly. The bathroom is just very old. There's nothing for the squeamish to do here. Towels are changed 1 time in 5 days and then when you remind yourself. The bed linen has not been changed for 10 days. The floors were washed and garbage was removed daily, but the dust from the table and the sink in the bathroom were not touched. We left $1 each for tea. In general, almost all the staff there expects tips for any minimal actions included in their duties. At the same time, everyone is very polite, smiling, joking. In general, communication is very good, tourists are loved. No one bothers or imposes any services. Almost everyone speaks Russian and quite well.
About food. It is without frills, but no one was hungry. And meat and vegetables, fish, fruits, pastries. Soups and porridges, everything is there, there is also a separate room for children in the dining room. There were a lot of guests at our check-in, so finding an empty table in the dining room was a three-time quest. But we must pay tribute to the staff of the canteen, they work very quickly and harmoniously. But the management is lame, the second dining room was not always opened, and it was closed faster than the main one.
It's the same story with sunbeds on the beach. There are much fewer of them than vacationers. And if you consider that many tourists come to the beach at 7 a.m. and take ice packs for themselves and for friends, then there is no place for people who came to the beach after breakfast at 9 a.m.. We lay several times just on towels on the sand. For $ 2, the beach staff will find and bring you a chaise longue. Beach towels are provided 1 time per day. Therefore, when leaving for lunch, people do not hand them over, but leave them on a chaise longue. I.e. during the day it is difficult to take a chaise longue if you did not have time in the morning.
There are a lot of employees on the beach, as well as in any other part of the hotel. They carefully follow people into the water so that they do not swim onto the corals and do not injure themselves and break the coral.
The beach is sandy, a beautiful gentle approach for children, a maximum depth of 1 meter. To swim at depth, you need to go to Panton, it offers a beautiful view of the reef. There is a real buzz here, the water is very salty, it holds perfectly on the surface. Even if you don't swim well, everything will be fine. The water is clear, the reef, corals and fish are perfectly visible. I don't want to get out of the water.
There are daily shows for both children and adults.everything is standard and not very interesting and spectacular . there are 2 American billiards tables, very killed cues. And two tennis tables. There are bars everywhere, but there are only drinks in them, there is nothing to eat. Either take it in advance in the dining room or in the store.
Bottled wine is charged from $ 6.
The free beer is good.
Ice cream and freshly squeezed juices or smoothies only for $1.
We went for a walk to the city several times by taxi from the hotel. Depending on where you are going, the price ranges from 10 to 15 dollars round trip. Order a taxi back via WhatsApp.
There are a lot of taxi drivers in the city, but the quality of the cars can be terrible. Once we decided to save a couple of dollars and drove to the hotel in a gasoline-stinking wreck.
Fares visited two of the restaurants, many with the same name, but all differ in prices and menus. Expensive , but delicious. There is no alcohol in restaurants near the mosque, keep in mind. Maximum non-alcoholic beer. I liked the Naoma Bay area the most in terms of the set of restaurants and the price-quality ratio.
There are many restaurants and shops, a promenade.
Soho Square is beautiful for walking. There are few restaurants and they are expensive. There is an ice rink, a bowling alley, an amusement park and a playground with mazes for children.
The hotel has a good water park, in general, the hotel was chosen because of it. It's great for kids. There are only three slides for adults , but they are quite enough .
The territory of the hotel is divided into two parts. The first one is closer to the sea and the main building, and the second one is closer to the water park. From the farthest building to the sea on foot is no more than 5 minutes, this is normal and not at all tedious. The paths are beautiful in flowers, shaded by palm trees. You walk around and admire.
In the evening, be sure to close the balcony, mosquitoes will fly, a sleepless night will be provided. they bite hard and a lot. We slept with air conditioning, no one caught a cold.
We didn't buy souvenirs, but I'll tell you right away, it's better to take them from the hotel store, they have a good selection and you can bargain. In duty free, the choice is small, prices are at least 2 times higher.
Cheap souvenirs in a fixed price list or in Mango. Be sure to bargain in the market, prices are overestimated by 5 times or more.
The hotel has a good and inexpensive massage. For $100, 5 sessions, includes a steam room, massage, Jacuzzi.

It's a lovely hotel. 5+++
We've been to a lot of places, but this place has become a favorite as a home.
The food, the location, the sea, the fish, the reefs, the service, the housekeeping, the excursions - everything is perfect.
Take a room with a sea view. The surcharge is a penny. The territory of the hotel is a wonderful city. The coffee is delicious. Cats and birds are cute.
Tip: show a movie, because there's not enough in the evenings.
And have pillows that are not so big )

Gorgeous territory, excellent clean sea. The pontoon spoils everything, it's scary to walk on it. There is no smooth approach for children. And there were surgical fish swimming on the shore. Carefully.
The food is monotonous, on the 7th day it began to strain. Small children ate almost nothing except breakfast cereals, French fries and hot dogs. Pasta and pasta are terrible. It is not clear what kind of sauce they need to be poured to like. Only meat, chicken, and fish heads helped out. In general, poor nutrition, fruits are tasteless. I'm tired of rice everywhere. Crumpled potatoes are so-so. The child didn't like her. We were the first to arrive for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, I note that none of us lost weight.))) There were desserts made of puffs, cakes. We tried wine at the beginning, sour. We decided not to take alcohol here.
For the placement of 4-. The bed is comfortable, there is always hot water. The cleaner constantly squeezed the water, did not give towels to everyone and was upset from the very beginning that we were not Ukrainians). The cleaning was not important. If you give a dollar or Alenka, they will clean up a little better. The air conditioner was working fine, but a little noisy.
Beach towels disappear by the pools, keep an eye on them, my cap was also missing on the beach.
As it is, everyone is friendly. Great pools and the kids loved the water park. There were always places on the beach at 8-30. We went to the beach early. After lunch, the waves.
The animation is not interesting. They entertained themselves with trips.
Will I come back? Just because of the food, probably not. Although I miss the sea already. The trip was in early August.

We had a rest from December 20 to December 30, 24. Let's start with the pros. The hotel is old, so the beach and reef are very nice. There are many different kinds of fish, there is a diving center. The cost of diving is not high. There is animation on the beach, music and a bar with tea, coffee, soft drinks, alcohol and beer. There is ice cream, but for a fee ($ 1 per ball). The architecture of the hotel is amazing, it feels like you are in an oriental fairy tale or in a beautiful dream. The trees, palm trees, shrubs and flowers are well maintained, everything is very clean and tidy. Excellent illumination. The kitchen suited us, there was plenty of food, there was enough of everything (beef, chicken, fish - we had it every day). The hotel staff speaks Russian.
Now the Cons: during the 10 days of our stay, we have never had our bed and towels changed. Dirty and damp towels are carefully folded and put on a shelf. The bed is smoothed and made. There were 3 of us in the room, but the cleaner put 2 bottles of water and shampoo daily for 2 people too. It feels like he came into the room just to check and pick up his tips, which we regularly left, hoping for a better attitude. With or without tips, the result is the same- an unwashed floor and dirty towels.We were housed next to Ukrainians, who played their nationalist songs to the fullest several times. I asked for help from the Pegasus guide at the hotel. He complained that we were housed nearby and that was the end of his "help". Like, solve your own problems. By the way, there are an incredible number of Ukrainians living there. They behave defiantly and the hotel staff does not stop it in any way. Several times during our vacation there were situations with a showdown and a fight between Russians and Ukrainians. The guide from Pegasus Aziz is a separate topic. The principle of human life is: "I didn't deceive anyone in a day- the day was in vain." Do not accept any guided tours, either paid or free. Bullshit and razvodilovo. They promise one thing, in fact, not at all what he said, and even more expensive by 2 times than that of city travel agencies. You feel like a sucker after such excursions. If you start to sort things out with him, he has nothing to do with it right away, he didn't conduct the tour, he only sells. They took me on a free tour to an oil store, as oils cost 3 times more than in stores in the city. Our vacation was saved by a magnificent reef with fish, a gentle sea and warm weather in December.

For your money , a good hotel . Great beach and reef. There is a sandy gentle approach. The hotel is multi-level, divided into 2 parts. One part is next to the sea, the other is behind the reception of the water park. We had a family vacation in June. It was a bit difficult to feed a child of 8 years old. But grilled chicken, French fries and local tortillas saved the day. The rooms are spacious and sturdy, the mattresses are comfortable, and all defects are quickly corrected. I was upset that the child was waiting for swans and hearts from towels , but they were never twisted. 1 time there was a fish) although they regularly left $. Of course, I would like to eat better, but we were not hungry. The eggplant is delicious, beef, rice and local tortillas. I had enough desserts for a year) all the roughness was covered by the sea , reef and fish. We saw 3 stingrays , 2 moray eels , 3 winglets, a turtle and Napoleon failed. In general, the hotel is the best.

Pros: excellent reef and beach, even shallow water is good for children, the bottom is not slippery, small pebbles. The staff is normal, not beggars. Acceptable prices in hotel shops (mangoes from $ 1 per kg). The dining room is not bad, there is a large selection of cakes, the rest is like everyone else's. The responsive and kind head of Afar beach. On the spiral pipe in the hotel's water park, be sure to hit your back there, the joint is not even one and you almost don't slide on it, so be careful. My room was "tired", the lighting was weak, 2 light bulbs were not lit, the toilet was constantly leaking and it was cracked, but the bed was in perfect order.
I'll come back here for the reef.

The perfect foursome. I had a rest from 6.09 to 17.09. The territory is large. You could always find a chaise longue on the beach. A big plus, bottled beer. The rooms are not new, but the furniture is sturdy. There is a lot of food, as in most fours, but it is boring, plus, there are several restaurants where you can try dishes that are not available in a regular restaurant by appointment. In general, he fully justifies his money.

And again, I will add a review. I visited the hotel again in September 2024.
The level of service is maintained, there are no complaints at all, everything is super.
From buns - now there is a night snack in the restaurant for those who check in after dinner, at night.
The plastic pontoon was completely replaced and expanded by another section. It became very comfortable to move around it. Plus, we added another descent into the sea.
The staff is still the same, all familiar faces. They are as customer-oriented and good-natured as possible. They try very hard, they work conscientiously. All issues were promptly resolved.
And once again I will give the hotel a solid five.
I returned to this hotel once again in September 2023. I will add a review.
The hotel is getting better every time.
The rooms have been redecorated.
There were 2 restaurants. There was no food rush. The range of dishes is decent, this time there were crabs and seafood.
The pontoon in the sea was repaired.
The sea and the reef are magnificent as always! There are a lot of fish! I met a two-meter-long barracuda at the drop-off. For the first time in her life, she swam so close. Well, the local big turtle did not hesitate to demonstrate itself this time) swam right up to the pontoon)
To the hotel of prosperity and successful development!
The hotel is right about the price-quality ratio. A very decent level for a budget 5*.
The last time was in June 2023, the hotel only got better.
Of the cons: we arrived at 7 a.m., of course we were told there were no rooms available, check-in is standard at 14:00. The bracelet was not put on, they told me to come by 10:00. We are tourists from experience, we decided not to waste time, but to have breakfast, change into swimsuits and go to the sea. In the restaurant, it suddenly turned out that breakfast at early check-in is paid, $ 10 per person. They left all the food untouched on the table and went to the sea. Keep in mind. This moment was immediately upsetting. Would they really splurge on two eggs and coffee?
The rooms are shabby, yes. But the hotel is undergoing renovation, the rooms are being renovated, new air conditioners are being installed, new furniture, mattresses, etc. We got a shabby room, but the mattresses on the beds were brand new, very comfortable.
Another important point. About the room category. The far buildings of the hotel are rooms of the garden view/pool view category.
The rooms, starting from the reception and up to the sea, are sea view and beach front view. And it is important to understand that sea view is a side view of the sea, roofs, conduits and water tanks will fall into your review.
But the beach front view is a direct, frontal view of the sea, they are the most expensive.
Some tourists had scandals at the reception demanding to urgently change their room, since they booked sea view, and their windows are not directly facing the sea. And they just refused to accept the fact that a direct view of the sea costs another plus 10-11 thousand rubles)))
Now about the pleasant things)
There is excellent Internet throughout the hotel, free WI-FI at a decent speed. Catches both in the rooms and on the beach. This was not the case on my last visit.
The staff - well, all the smart guys and darlings! In the dining room, the service is lightning fast, everyone smiles, 10 times they will come up and ask if anything is needed, how are you, is everything okay. The reception staff is also pleasant. The cleaners are great fellows, not only will they supply water during cleaning, they also came in the evening and offered it. I was very satisfied with the service.
Food. You will definitely not leave hungry. But without frills. Chicken, beef, fish - there have always been. Vegetables in a sufficient assortment. Fruits are only sliced. At the bar, no one was too tight to pour two glasses in one hand, as it is in a nearby hotel, for example. There were snacks on the beach too. There will be a slight flair of disappointment after the Turkish buffet, but it has already passed on the second day. Solid food 5. By Egyptian standards.
The territory of the hotel is huge, beautiful, green, well maintained. Everything is blooming and fragrant, the staff cuts, waters, weeds something all day long. It is very pleasant to walk through all the nooks and crannies.
There is animation, both in the afternoon and in the evening, the guys are cute, smiling, but unobtrusive. We never went to the evening shows, we went to bed. After long swims, there was no strength left for dancing.
The beach is spacious, clean, and there are a lot of sun beds. An incredibly beautiful coral reef right next to the hotel. That's exactly why we're flying to Sharm el-Sheikh. This is the best home reef in Charm. Who have we not met on the reef! We swam to the Sheraton on the left and to the Regency Park on the right. This is amazing!
At early check-out, we were provided with lunch boxes. Although we didn't order them the day before. It's very nice.
Well, the most unpleasant procedure is the passage of all inspections at the airport itself. Here it is necessary to include a Buddhist and prepare for numerous groping, scanning, taking off shoes, inspections)
In general, I was very satisfied with my stay at the hotel, the hotel is really getting better every year. I'll be happy to come back.

A good four.
What pleased me:
-First of all, the willingness of the staff to fix technical problems (eliminate leaks, fix the lock, etc.) in the shortest possible time.
-For the responsiveness of the reception staff and the main restaurant, you can put 5!)It should be noted that they almost all speak Russian well.
- Beautiful territory, it is well watched. It's hard to say how many times I've photographed date palms!
- Of course, there is an incredible reef right next to the hotel. They say scuba diving trips to the reef were a waste of money.
- There are enough sunbeds on the beach.
-Dry cleaning is the best thing that can be on vacation, especially for the money and quality.
Otherwise:
- the food is poor, but for my taste, in the global economic situation, it is quite tolerable.
-the cleaning is so-so, even with constant tips (but it was July).
- the juices are too chemical.
- the hotel, of course, is getting old.
-the information on the hotel's website is not up to date.
Of the obvious disadvantages for me:
- there are very slow staff on the ground with pay. Waiting for fresh for 20 minutes being the first in line is too much. And despite the fact that we drank juices every morning, the speed of their preparation did not increase much.
- mango juice (from which the peel has not been removed, I have not yet said) and water -2 $, but the mango itself -1 $, and brought much better than it was for juice. Very difficult math ...
- at the pharmacy at the hotel, they asked 8 times more for the medicine than its cost at the pharmacy with a fix.prices.

I had a rest from October 12th to 19th. The territory is beyond praise. I had a nice room in building 1 with a view of the garden. I was alone, I hardly needed cleaning, I was very satisfied with everything. Gorgeous warm, clear water. The coral reef is not bad, the presence of stingrays, moray eels decorates it very much. There were practically no large fish, there were a lot of needle fish, large and rapidly taking off from the water - a fantastic sight! Fish fly up next to me and splashes fall on me! I have not seen this in 11 visits to Egypt. I was interested in the sea element and I enjoyed it in full! The food is normal, solid, solid four.

We rested in this "hotel" from 18 to 25 November 2024.The territory is basically good, large, well-groomed, the staff is friendly, but likes to beg for $ 1.The beach is not bad, the sandy entrance is gentle, further to see the reef you need to walk along the swinging one, therefore, it is not very convenient.Coral reefs are already dead, but those who have not seen the living will go.There is 1 stale cafe on the beach where from 11.00 they start cooking French fries with the course of the contract, for which you have to stand for 35-40 minutes, there is also a queue for drinks.To borrow shizlong, you need to get up at 5.30 in the morning, otherwise the cunning beach workers throw towels on the deck chairs as if they are busy, and then offer for $ 1. In the dining room (I can't say the restaurant)there are also queues for food, monotonous, but you will not stay hungry.Unripe melon and apples are made from fruits.Oranges are sweet, grapes are scattered.Once there were sweet pomegranates, again you have to stand in line to be given a certain portion.When checking out, they wanted to extend the room for 2 hours, they asked for $ 60.In general, I would not recommend this "hotel"

We are currently vacationing in this hotel, from June 9 to 19.6.24. I like it, the territory is large, green area, many pools for any height. The beach is large, there are enough sun beds, showers, cleanliness everywhere. Entering the sea is sand, shell rock, not deep. For diving enthusiasts, beautiful coral reefs with marine life!The food is varied, without delicacies, beef, chicken, fish. Vegetables, sliced, fruits - peaches, oranges, dates, melon. Bottled beer, Fanta, pepsi, sprite, water, tea, instant coffee. Pastries in a large assortment. The staff is friendly, they work smoothly and quickly. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, daily cleaning, change of linen and towels every day. They organize meetings with the management of the hotel, are interested in recreation and are waiting for the wishes of tourists, what to pay attention to. WiFi is available throughout the property and on the beach. If there is a chance, next time to relax, I will choose this hotel! Sincerely, Natalia and Lyudmila. Ekaterinburg.

We, basically, all go for the sake of the sea and in this hotel it's the coolest reef!!!! We rested here for the second time and did not regret it. Responsive staff, clean large area, good food (you definitely won't stay hungry), excellent location of the hotel (there are practically no winds), a water park..... yes, everything is super!

It is better to take a special mask and shoes at once to admire the fish, you can see the fish not far from the berg, they are everywhere, deeper and more.We went to the city for $ 3-5, as it turns out, as you agree.I recommend.

We had a rest from December 20 to December 31 with two children. In general, I liked everything, I think we would have returned here, because everything fits perfectly to our needs and budget, but I give the top four objectively.
I must say that this is a large hotel with a large territory, a huge number of tourists and an impressive number of staff. On high dates, everything works at its limit, so lovers of exclusive service and an atmosphere of calm and serenity are not here.
The dining room is really bustling, but the food is very tasty and of high quality. Someone writes that it's monotonous, but you don't just have to put fish, chicken and beef for dinner at the same time, I've seen this more than once…
The sea and the beach are just great, the reef is decent. We went on an excursion to Ras Mohammed, there were not even half of the fish that were at the hotel, and there was also toilet paper floating - a parking lot of boats with open toilets and there you swim…
The beach at the hotel is being renovated, in the process of replacing the umbrella cover, white sand was brought to the middle level of the beach. Sun beds are really not occupied after 10.
We hung out mostly at the water park, because children couldn't be dragged into the sea after the warm water in the pools. There are 2 zones - one with slides, one for small ones, the rescuers control everything clearly, so you can safely go for a swim at the sea or bury yourself in a book.
The animation is weak, I would say the worst in all the 10 times that we have been in different hotels. But we don't really need to.
I was annoyed that they changed $100 at the reception and gave me the old $50. I noticed it a few days later and couldn't resolve the issue with any of the managers.
The hotel has a guest relation manager who comes up every day and finds out what to fix in the room, in the hotel, and so on.
She said that in 2025, the hotel will become a Crowne Plaza with a higher level of service, there is a gradual renovation, staff training, and so on. Accordingly, you will not get there for this money.

A great hotel, lots of pools, a gentle approach to the sea for children and from a pontoon to the reef. The reef is beautiful with fish and a stingray. A beach with palm trees, cozy, usually in Egypt there are bare beaches. The food is good. Incredibly delicious and varied desserts. There is animation. In the evening there is a disco for children, a show for adults. The water park is great. But a large area, until you get from the far buildings to the sea, you can burn))

The sea is gorgeous, the corals are extremely beautiful, the fish are all there, even the rays and the turtle were seen as in an aquarium. It is impossible to convey positive emotions. Someone will have a minus if they have sore legs, and someone will have a plus if they like to move-I'm talking about the location of the hotel. It is located a little high and all buildings, restaurants and almost the entire territory are in steps, like a highway. Two pools on two levels, your own aqua park! There are a lot of vacationers, it's crowded. But everyone has enough deck chairs and food😊😊 the food is simple, you will be satisfied

A beautiful hotel, built in the form of towers from the k-fa "Lord of the Rings", there are a lot of them and it looks like in the kingdom of a huge and beautiful territory, very friendly staff. Everything is constantly cleaned and cleaned perfectly. The room is cleaned every day. There is a lot of food in the restaurant and everything is very tasty 👌🏻🙏The waiters are all great, they clean everything very quickly, they are all polite and tactful. The sea is amazing and beautiful in its own way👍👌🏻its own coral island and not one, there are a lot of fish, our eyes run away🌊 We really liked everything, I want to come here again. Many thanks to the entire staff of the hotel and many thanks🙏💐It's a pleasure to fly to you! Thanks for everything!!!🙏🙏🙏

A good hotel is now resting here. The only comment is on the variety of food, it's starting to get boring in recent days. And so everything is just fine!! Special thanks to the staff (waiters, animators) I would also like to say a huge thank you to Muhammad (the bartender in the pool next to the 4000+ rooms) and the lifeguard Ibrahim (in the same pool), the guys made every day more fun, constantly on the positive side!!!

The room stock is old. The food is varied, you will not be hungry. Minus the warm drinks. The staff is friendly. A beautiful reef on the beach, for those who like to swim with a mask. There are many pools.

We had a rest from November 12th to 26th. For the price that the hotel offers, it corresponds to its service, the sea is gorgeous, excellent, but there are problems with sun beds since they are occupied from five in the morning covering the sun beds with their towels. We also solved this problem, we came by eight in the morning, restrained all the towels from the sun beds and put them in one pile. Then you understand what and yes how

A wonderful hotel. The work of the staff in the dining room is beyond praise! Well done. Everything is being cleaned up quickly! I consider the merit of the restaurant manager responsible for the staff who work in the hall - they always smile and try to make the life of vacationers as comfortable as possible!!!

A hotel with a reef on the "5". I gave 5 stars for the reef - it's gorgeous here! A large beautiful territory, a good entrance for bathing children, special shoes are not needed. The pantone is not long. People come to this hotel several times - they met people who came to this hotel for the ninth time!

The best budget hotel, the top reef and the beach are just fire, the rest is not the point for me, beer, soda are all original bottles, the rest of the swill is not very good,the food is being updated better every year, it can be seen if you want to see the red sea, you are definitely here

The territory of the hotel is convenient and understandable. The staff is friendly. The food is varied. There is everything. Vegetables, fruits, chicken, beef. A separate children's menu. For family holidays, children's animation is held, followed by a show program. The sea is generally a separate song. Beauty! That's the least that can be said. In general, come and see for yourself.

A cool reef and a beach where children can play in the sand and go into the sea without protective shoes. I also liked the concept of the hotel in terms of architecture, bright, neutral in the national style. There are shortcomings in the organization of breakfast preparation, queues for lunch and dinner, the quality of instant coffee, paper cups for coffee instead of normal cups. The rooms are old, but neutral minimalism with a national flavor + the general architecture of the hotel draws out a pleasant feeling from your stay.
I recommend the hotel if you have no special complaints about the food and the novelty of room renovation. The reef, the beach and the budget spent made the vacation for me. 😊

Good afternoon, the hotel grounds are large, well maintained, the beach and pier are super!
The food is monotonous, they give out 1 crab per hand))) 1 piece of chicken each..
Bottled beer, BUT!!! Very warm, very hot.. there is only cold paid beer in the fridge. The snack bar on the beach always opened late. Bartenders are not friendly in principle... the rooms are already tired, of course. Cleaning every day for 5+ boys will always smile, hold the door, help.

Hello everyone.
From November 22 to December 2, my family and I vacationed in Sharm el Sheikh at the Contenental plaza Hotel.
I want to share my impressions of this hotel.
The 4* hotel. I will not stop at the description, everyone can come in and read / watch.
Check-in: we arrived at the hotel at about 10:30, we were supposed to check in at 14:00. But at 12 we were already in the room. No one asked for money. The suitcases were helped to carry.
The sea: The "frog house" is the first 2-3 meters, then the corals and stones begin. It's better to be in coral. Into the depths only through the pontoon. The reef is very beautiful. There are a lot of fish. There is another plus, there is an abandoned hotel nearby, where you can safely walk to the beach. There are practically no people there, the reef is also beautiful, there seem to be even more fish.
The only disadvantage is that when the season of sun loungers may not be enough, you need to book in the morning, before breakfast.
Food: it has always been: vegetables of all kinds, fruits. Side dishes: pasta of several types, rice of several types, mashed potatoes and fried. Meat is always beef, chicken. There are different types of fish every day. Sometimes they gave crabs (3 times in 10 days).
There are also 2 restaurants on site: oriental and Italian. You need to make an appointment for them in advance, from 8 a.m. on the day of the visit.
Everything is very tasty, both in the main restaurant and in the additional ones.
Animation: On the day of our last vacation, the animators had their last working day at this hotel. They moved to another hotel as a group. I don't know how the new animators will be, but I really liked the old ones: friendly, active, smiling, they were able to stir everyone up.
The rooms are not new, but everything works. Plasma TV, with 1 Russian channel. We lived in a family room, each room has a bathroom, wardrobe, TV, telephone, hair dryer. Cleaning every day, the swans were turned around, although we did not leave tips. Wi-Fi catches everywhere, both in the room and on the beach. Somewhere is better, somewhere is worse, but you will not be left without a connection.
As if she had described all the important points. 😉

Review of the Continental beach resort hotel
I am writing a review while resting at the moment in this hotel (14.11.-24.11.24).
Pros:
1) Great reef! There are moray eels, turtles, stingrays, lionfish, colorful huge moluski and much more that live in great abundance in the red sea;
2) beautiful, landscaped area with ever-flowering plants; good evening lighting of the hotel ; many pools, bars, secluded cozy places; large multi-level territory.
3) close to the old town (5-7 minutes by taxi, price -$2-3 one way), Soho (5 minutes for $ 2 one way, airport (20 minutes-$5-6)
4) there are many different activities for children, including a water park.
5) the animation is normal, but for an amateur)). Some tourists behave on stage, to put it mildly, vulgarly and spoil the whole performance. Heavily drunk tourists on stage amuse themselves and their friends, of course, they don't care about the rest. Many spectators got up and left. Well, maybe this is the norm and you'll have fun😊
Minuses:
1) The standard rooms are shabby, the furniture is old, everything in the bathtub is screwed askew and held on snot, the water pressure is weak - you can't really wash during rush hours, there is no electric kettle, no mugs, no glasses, ashtrays, napkins in the room-NOTHING!!! There is no sign -DO NOT DISTURB OR GET OUT!!! Towels are not changed in the room during cleaning-they are just beautifully folded and that's it. Well, if you thank the cleaners, then they will bring the marathon and change the towels)).
About television: there is only one Russian-speaking channel - Kazakh, without news and movies.
2) The beach is very small for such a huge hotel, there are not enough sunbeds at all. If you want to tan comfortably, then run at 6 a.m. with a towel and things to the beach in a crowd of tourists to take sun beds))).
3) The restaurant is more like a dining room, with tourists fighting for food, huge queues for grilled meat, fried eggs, sliced fruits. It's creepy!
There are not enough plates and appliances, so the waiters will take away your plate of food that you have been collecting for so long, if you suddenly went out for drinks for 5 minutes))).
And the food is ordinary, without frills, you will not stay hungry.
4) There are a lot of mosquitoes on the territory. It's a pity to look at children-they're all bitten, and so badly, as if they had chickenpox or measles. Take mosquito repellents and more!!
5) Check-in from 14-00, check-out until 12-00.
If you arrive before 14, you will not be served breakfast. It's strange, of course, is it really so pitiful for food? So much food is thrown away. We were given bracelets only at 12:00, although we were at the hotel around 9:00. We had a snack on the beach in a cafe ...
6) Hotel guides actively impose excursions, half of which are complete bullshit, complaints have been heard more than once. By the way, do not believe the hotel guides that the insurance is valid only if you buy excursions from them-THE INSURANCE IS VALID THROUGHOUT EGYPT!!! We didn't buy anything from them-we took it from the locals. Bargain, you can get good discounts on excursions!
***If you go on ATVs, do not regret and take with you sweets for Bedouin children and stray dogs***

We had a rest on October 24, just returned. It's not even 3 stars, it's worse. We really regretted that we did not read the reviews on tophotels, but only here.
The only advantage of the hotel is the colorful reef. Everything else can be called briefly - a hole!
The rooms are dead, the food is disgustingly tasteless and spicy, the choice is 5 dishes at most and you have to stand in line with a plate for 15 minutes. Moreover, the fruits are portioned and this is the turn for another 10 minutes. Only sweets are delicious, their choice is also rich.
I'm not talking about hunting at the tables, only those who came first are sitting. Drinks are given in tiny plastic cups, 100 grams. Even tea will be in a cardboard mini cup of 50 grams, which is impossible to hold in your hand - it burns! Coffee and ice cream for a fee - 1 dollar. There are no snacks.
Upon arrival at 16, they entered the room and waited 20 minutes for cleaning, although they officially check in at 14. As a result, the floors are in someone else's hair, I won't say anything about plumbing. I paid $ 5 and asked to clean everything efficiently, we stood and waited again. There is no drying for swimsuits, they can only be hung on chairs.
There are no lounge areas where you can sit and listen to music in the evening, or play games with your family. Just a lobby full of people, where everyone comes for a normal Internet connection.
The pantone is short but broken. On the third day of our stay, someone fell off it and began a leisurely repair.
Wi-fi is only an icon, in fact, communication is only at the reception, nothing could be opened in the room, they went to send photos and call the lobby and there were crowds of them.
The audience is Russians, Ukrainians and Poles. There are no Europeans, they don't go to such a hole.
At the entrance to the hotel there is a shop, masks and fins for the price of Ozone. Mangoes are also sold there for $ 1, but I did not notice a difference in taste with mangoes from BB.
To summarize, I have not seen such a disrespectful and tactless service towards tourists anywhere else! Only the lady at the guest relations table is friendly, the staff frankly hates all tourists and croaks something on their own, discussing the guests. I saw it both in the restaurant and on the beach.
I highly recommend that you think about it and weigh everything. 12 years ago it was quite a decent International, but now it is a place where hunger and disappointment await you if you are used to good food and service in five-star Turkey. It's worth paying a little extra and getting decent service. Still, this is a long-awaited vacation.

I am writing a review while here on ng. 12/31/2024
I haven't been to Egypt for 10 years, I realized that during this time my favorite hotels were closed, and I didn't understand where to go, I was traveling alone, so I decided that I wouldn't walk alone in Nayama, and decided to take a remote hotel. And it's in vain that Nayama and Soho Square are completely safe places for a promenade, they will be happy to take you there from the hotel for 2-3 dollars.
But now about the hotel. Winter, so a bunch of pools on the territory are not really needed, everyone hangs out in heated pools and at sea, because of this it seems that the territory is simply too small.
There is a fairly large part of the beach up to the coral, where there is a beautiful sunset, and the pantone is microscopic. The sun beds are all occupied by someone since the morning. These same people are creating ceremonial queues everywhere. Registration in the video card is carried out at 8:30, people line up at 7, and before that at 6, after throwing a towel on the beach, book a chaise longue. Drinking alcohol, as in all of Egypt, is simply disgusting. You can drink beer and wine, but wine is served only for lunch and dinner in the main restaurant. They say you can buy whiskey for an additional fee of 7 bucks, they say it's not bad. I didn't try it, I lapped up what I got in dutik. There is also a Dutch free in the old town, where you need to check your passport, and if you are sold alcohol within three days of arrival.
The reef and the fish in the hotel are very beautiful.
The food looks like a variety, in fact it doesn't really taste like anything, but I'm glad I didn't want to eat my ass, you won't stay hungry, if you get really bored, skip dinner, and have dinner somewhere on nachma or soho.
The rooms are old, but not useless. The room has everything you need.
Massage is offered on the beach, and it takes place on the 1st floor of the spa complex. I took 5 pieces.
For the non-squeamish, it will do.
Guided tours from the beach. I took a bathyscaphe, he deceived me that we would go straight from the pier by boat, but of course you are being taken by bus, the bathyscaphe itself even came in.
If you are staying for a long time, then I recommend going to the water park for the whole day. 60 bucks the entrance itself, there's an all-inclusive system. It's hard to get around the whole thing in a day. Unfortunately, I didn't get in, because there is no information about him, and I found out about him late. The hotel has a water park (3 slides), the children are delighted, the adults are bored, of course.
Until about March, it's very cold here in the evenings, take more hoodies and windbreakers.
I am updating the review in the evening.
Ng it's just a ruined day of rest, these morons organized everything so that people would just push assholes, beat each other. They closed the lower restaurant in two days and served it beautifully, but they didn't have time to open the upper one.
By creating a queue two days before the ng ? They put everyone at the table in a seating arrangement, I thought, well, in portions, then they would bring, no, they opened the buffet at 7:30 p.m., the crowd was simply of invisible size. They have big problems with organizing everything. but.... I'll bet you a big noooo.
The dinner ended up with a fight, but it was excellent, and after the zero there was a half hour of a beautiful disco with Russian songs)

A good hotel , a very convenient beach , an interesting layout of the hotel , it looks like a white castle from the Lord of the rings.The hotel buildings in the form of turrets with courtyards , height differences , look like an ancient town somewhere in the Middle East. A big plus is the beach allows you to find a place in the sun if a cool breeze blows. We were in early February.I liked the water park with heated water , it will be just gorgeous with children there . Food is constantly coming up with something new , a lot of baking . And what kind of national tortillas are baked there, every morning mmmmm.........There are shops on the territory , strawberries were bought for $ 1.In the evening, you can take a taxi to Soho, the entertainment district, I really liked it. But the most interesting thing is the people , the service in bars and restaurants, young guys, funny, smiling, which is often not enough for us .They are very uplifting.A team of cheerful, groovy animators will not let you get bored.

A great hotel for a good stay.
The price and quality correspond to each other. Clean, well-groomed territory, green manicured lawns with Date palms surrounded by flowering bushes of various plants.
The food is excellent, quite varied, meat and vegetables are plentiful, in various versions. Fish is also constantly fried or baked with vegetables and under various fillings. Also, fillet of fish in batter and filled with egg and cheese - it's impossible to list everything. Chicken, too, in different cooking options!
Non-alcoholic drinks are everywhere - at the reception, in several bars, and on the beach - starting at 10 o'clock you can take beer and local alcohol - vodka, gin, brandy, whiskey, etc. The choice is large, only on the beach after an hour they become hot.
There is also a bar on the beach where various buns, pancakes and other snacks are prepared.
The rooms are large and clean. Cleaning and making the bed every day, they can also be cleaned in front of you if you find yourself in the room at this time and not at the sea.
One problem is the air conditioners!
They are built into the mezzanine with plywood ceilings overhead.
Have you ever slept next to a working tractor? This is from this song! Only if you have been swimming in the sea to the point of unconsciousness or have had too many drinks, then you will fall asleep. But if not, a painful night is guaranteed!
They turned on the whole thing, cooled the room, and turned off the air conditioner, you fall asleep with a Bang! But after 1.5 - 2 hours you wake up in sweat and in the heat! But of course, it only gets cool +30 in the morning, and then the temperature rises again.
But the sea, the service, the cleanliness and accessibility of the beach and pools, and there are 5 of them, and even a small but groovy water park, do not let you get bored. For those who want to actively spend time on the beach, there are animators inviting drones to move - dancing, darts, volleyball and more.
We visited this hotel 10 years ago - the changes are noticeable. The hotel itself is just a little tired, although it looks bravo!
But the sea is orphaned.
The corals were covered with gray ash. The fish world has been greatly orphaned, although you can still admire the remaining ones. But the variety is not the same!
There is a diving center right on the beach, where you can dive into the sea right on the beach and watch its inhabitants live!
You can rent a mask and fins and have fun with snortling!
In general, I recommend it👍
