It's just awful! And that's all. The food is disgusting, there is nothing for both children and adults, even though it is "all inclusive". It's more like "everything is OFF." Everything is dirty, the rooms are not cleaned even before arrival, the mini-bar has rotten food from previous residents. The sewer system is not working!!!! The room floated on the first day, it was difficult to move. There is no access to the sea, the floors are dirty in the room, the beds are not fixed, there are no shelves in the closet, bedside tables on 3 legs out of 4, you can not touch, the drawers do not close. Towels are not changed, shower gels and shampoos are not updated. What 5 stars! There are 2 with great difficulty. Don't waste money, time and nerves. Especially families with children.
We rested on 11.01.22 in the Pyramid.The hotel only has three stars.Among the disadvantages; the quality of service, tired room stock, terrible food , lack of animation. The hotel needs renovation.The area is large and green, but there are abandoned areas on both sides of the hotel.Wi-fi in the hotel can be said no, weak at the reception, we bought a SIM card in a vodafone across the street.The water is cool in the main large pool, the pool by the sea and in the main building is heated.Among the advantages of this hotel are the beautiful sea and coral, the green area and the location.
The hotel is not bad. We came from the Russian Federation. We lived here for a week for $ 1400 for two with my wife. A ticket from Biblio Globus. His guide has a huge disadvantage. He says in words that he does not force us to buy excursions, but when he found out that we would go through another organization, he was offended, angry and began to scare us with poor-quality service and non-existent dangers. The price, of course, was twice as low. But that's another story.
We chose the hotel based on reviews and photos.
The territory is still being improved after a long downtime. The lawns are dry in some places, and the paths are broken. But the work is carried out daily, it can be seen. I liked Panton and the beach, which is not very long with the opportunity to swim from the shore. We settled in without difficulty, right on the first line. In gratitude, I decided to give the employee 200 pounds in an envelope. It looks like these rooms have just been opened after a little cosmetic facelift. Namely, they stretched all corners and joints in the bathroom with a white sealant. The rest of the room is clean and spacious. Cleaning is daily, of course not general. It consists in adding drinking water, laying out a blanket and wiping the floor. The air conditioner is working, but we didn't turn it on, it was enough in the fan mode at medium speed.
The staff is as friendly, smiling and attentive as they were six years ago. Outright extortion of tips was not noticed.
The food is excellent, as it was 6 years ago. A very diverse menu, interesting and different snacks, desserts. Fresh fruits. We tried fresh dates for the first time. I have never seen such a miracle in any hotel.
There are several types of side dishes for hot dishes. Meat in various configurations and fish. You will definitely not stay hungry.
Drinks according to the standard. Local alcohol, powdered juices and soda. Tea bags and delicious coffee from the coffee machine (we drink cappuccino and latte). There are several food bars open between lunch and dinner. Delicious burgers, shawarma, hot dogs, French fries, etc. goodies.
Mini water park, three slides, fountains, watering cans and waves. A very comfortable pool for both children and adults. Also in the pool of ra
We were with the children at the end of November
The food is very monotonous
Animashka is like 10 years ago in Turkey, old songs and everything is equally hackneyed
Adults have nothing to do at all in the evening
In no case do not buy Excursions at hotels from the local diving center, we were deceived
, we spent three days beating out money, the guide from Tui Hassan helped
210 dollars
The vacation was ruined, it didn 't work out to take the children anywhere , because I waited three days for the money, everything started that I bought three tours from them
The first evening the yacht is out at sea, karaoke is playing, entertainment, etc. everything should have been in Russian
The result was brought to an Egyptian ship where only Egyptians are men and women the whole program is in Egyptian
We went out to sea 100 meters from the pier
As a result, after an hour of Hell, my children and I left there, they dropped off their singer and we cut from there in shock
As a result , the night , the port , not a soul
Taxi, one Car was for 10 dollars, I took Droga to the hotel, I searched for a very long time, I had to open the maps for him, I showed him, and so on.
The next day I wrote a claim and a statement for a refund
They didn't want to return it
Imagine 210 dollars for a hotel))) I didn't want to mess with them.
Not a foot in the hotel
They made pastels with blood that were not washed
They wanted to impose, more precisely, to take money allegedly for a burnt sheet
I sent them away
Rare cleaning, good food, access to the water from pantone, weak Internet, near the airport, old room stock, heated swimming pool, slides for children. You can live.
The staff at the reception wanted to divorce, the deposit from the booking was returned and they did not want to take it into account. In general, a very large and stupid hotel!
The hotel is disgusting, the vacation was ruined. Of the declared five stars, this hotel confidently pulls in two stars, three are already questionable. If YOU NEED THE SEA, LOOK FOR ANOTHER HOTEL, this is not an option.
In detail, point by point, what this hotel is like, starting from the sea:
The sea – with a hotel capacity of at least 500 people, there is only one (!) floating pier 4 by 5 meters and a paddling pool 7 by 15 meters, because of the coral shore it is impossible to go any other way, this small pier is the only thing there, on approx. 700 meters of coastline. It was very crowded, although there were few people who wanted to swim and the workload of the hotel was less than half. I do not recommend swimming behind the buoys, there is a strong current, plus boats go there. Right outside the hotel there is a 30-meter normal beach, swimming on which is also theoretically prohibited (forbidding signs, but no one is looking), there is a normal entrance to the sea and again, a passage area for ships.
There are umbrellas on the beach, there are sun beds of varying degrees of damage, no one washes or cleans the sun beds. There are two bars where they pour beer and soda, there is one stall with shawarma. There is one tent with towels, the towels are dilapidated and often dirty. Locals stick to the beach, offer massages, diving, excursions and something else. There is a dive stall with a crew, but it's all for a fee.
The territory of the hotel is large and unkempt, in general it gives the impression of a shabby Soviet holiday home or camp site. The fencing of the beach and the territory with fences enhance this impression. Of course, there are pools, quite clean, even the sun beds are nicer at the pools than on the beach. There is a separate volleyball court right next to the beach. Closer to the main building, where there is a reception and a dining room, there is something like an aquapark, a slide for children and a large swimming pool. There is also a pavilion with burgers, pizza and hot dogs, or rather with Egyptian fantasies on this topic. Broken paths everywhere, the peculiarity of the paths is that being laid out of tiles, there are a lot of broken and crumbled tiles, this also applies to steps, a lot of broken ones, also part of the paths are lined with platforms, under which engineering communications are laid, everything is laid so crookedly that it is unrealistic to walk in the evening and not stumble several times. Part of the territory is generally abandoned, about 10 two-storey houses with broken windows and ruined courtyards.
The room is generally not bad, but it pumps up the audibility like in a slum, battered plumbing and sewer problems. It was especially nice to see the brush, all smeared in shit from previous guests. There is no normal cleaning, even despite the tips left. Yes, they spin swans out of towels, but out of wet and dirty ones without changing them! In two weeks, the linen and towels were changed only twice, which does not quite correspond to the five stars. I will also note the dirty curtains, one of the most noticeable interior details in the dirt.
Canteen. This is a separate song. The menu is meager, the same thing every day, there is nothing tasty. About once every three days, the menu is supplemented with some kind of super side dish, a mixture collected from the remains of other side dishes from the previous couple of days. There are always queues for everything and everyone, provided that the hotel was not even half loaded with guests. It's dirty, the tables may not be wiped, if they are cleaned, they sweep the leftovers from the table with napkins under the appliances and return them to the table, they can also easily pick up a paper napkin dropped by someone from the floor and wipe the table with it. Every day I came across unwashed dishes. The chairs are also all stained with the devil knows what.
Bars and drinks – there is a lobby bar, a pool bar next to the lobby, two bars on the beach. Cocktails are made directly with your hands, and I have already written about the understanding of purity above. Next, the peculiarities of local beverage production, they all have one thing in common – the taste is disgusting. Everything is disgusting, and beer, and soda, and gin, and everything in general, you can't even find normal tea here either, only packaged. There is a soda dispenser in the dining room, it also pours rare muck, children should be kept away from it.
The toilets on site are dirty and very smelly. The stench is incredible, beyond words. It doesn't matter M or J. They clean them disgustingly. (perhaps this is a national feature, because everything turned out to be exactly the same in the toilet at the airport).
Animation is missing. Of all the entertainment, half an hour of music at the lobby bar, and after dinner karaoke.
There is an Internet Wi–Fi only at the reception, but it is absolutely dead, there is no connection. You can immediately buy a local SIM card based on your needs, you will most likely be offered officially or bypassing to use WiFi in the building where you live for 10 bucks, do not agree, it is exactly the same dead. Sim cards are sold right in the hotel, in the main building, prepare $ 25.
There were no good impressions left, on the fourth day of my stay I was tired of absolutely everything.

A large territory, a good beach area, excellent views of the underwater world, diverse and high-quality cuisine, friendly staff are the strengths of the hotel. Cons - the room stock needs to be updated, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes in the room, no Wi-Fi.
The hotel is not 5, but 4 stars, as there is a note at the reception. A normal economy class hotel. If you want a better service, then this is a different price category.
I really liked the hotel, all the minor flaws do not count. Only the presence of a coral reef along the entire coast gives you 100 points of advantage! Every day, not just to "flop", but to swim surrounded by fish, small fish and other representatives of fauna...cool.
Complete unsanitary conditions!!! Very dirty! In the dining room, there is no other way to name their restaurant, they do not clean! The walls and tables are so dirty that it makes you shiver! On the third day of arrival, the whole family and the child were hospitalized with poisoning! We turned to the hotel doctor, he offered to drink a syrup for vomiting. Due to the fact that the child was 1.5 years old, we went to the hospital and the whole family put us on ivs, because everyone was severely dehydrated. After experiencing the horror of the local hospital, she turned to the hotel manager with a demand to clean their dining room. Naturally, they only pretended that they had washed something, but the situation has not changed. But, I think that they need to poke their noses into this horror, and not be silent and endure! The whole hotel was unhappy with the dirt, but everyone is silent and patient! And they get away with it, a few come up with complaints, and the rest wave their hand at everything! If you respect yourself, then you should not go to this hotel!
So-so hotel for 3, the food is normal, you won't be hungry, the territory is large, but not very well maintained, half of the hotel is generally abandoned. Dirt is everywhere. The chairs are all shat with birds. Beer is constantly running out at all bars, horror, I don't remember this anywhere else. The rooms are old, but the sea view made up for everything. There is a reef, but not just gorgeous, as everyone writes, there is something to see. During the season, there will be wild queues everywhere on the beach and in the restaurant.
A very nice hotel. The kitchen is just great. The sea is like an aquarium. 5 meters from the shore, the fish are simply teeming. 10 minutes drive from the airport.
The hotel is not bad, of course the rooms are old. They require repairs. But the stunning sea and the beautiful reef with a lot of fish smoothes out all the disadvantages
Oh! This is a good hotel. It was 5 years ago! We wanted to return, but it was closed for repairs, then the pandemic seemed to stall. We wanted to go there last year. There is advertising, there is a hotel on Bookinge. And, there is no hotel itself, it does not give a reservation. We flew to another hotel. And I will come there specially to see Desola. He's not there, devastation! At the time of 2021.
I didn't like the hotel . To be honest, the hotel administration hides information about the complete renovation of the entire infrastructure . How uncomfortable it is to relax in a hotel where there is a construction site everywhere.
The rooms in the queue are a weak three in the main building, tired and not very clean (in terms of dust on hoods and so on) and rooms in other buildings closer to the sea need $ 120. The territory is excellent and very large! The sea is cool! A lot of different fish enter the water only on the bridge, otherwise the reef is in the length of the shore. The food is normal! Strong alcohol is very bad from the word at all! You can drink beer, it's edible)
I'm generally shocked that people write laudatory odes to this dump. Absolutely paid. What is the "five" to Allah?? Mud, mud, mud everywhere. Everything is falling off, the rooms stink, three rooms were changed, then they spat. Toilets (public) are something. Sorry, they're all fucked up, and they don't clean up. Wherever you poke, unsanitary conditions are solid. The beach with cut coral (where the entrance is on the sand) no longer belongs to the hotel, it is fenced off with a grid, therefore, into the abyss only from the pantones, immediately to the depth. Moms with little kids fly by. Food.. well, of course, you will not stay hungry, but completely tasteless and, frankly, some kind of unclean, like everything around, from snacks - chopped vegetables, and canapes of vegetables, a circle of chopped carrots, a piece of omelet, and a piece of cucumber - voila, which end exactly 10 minutes after the start of dinner. Everything is bland to the point of impossibility. And queues, queues.. While you're standing at something, all the other food on your plate has been cold for a long time. Drinks and alcohol are rare filth. Tea is dust, no taste, no smell, just paint. SPA is a separate topic. The same devastation as everywhere else. The Jacuzzis are semi-broken (one nozzle works on the hydro massage), although they say that the water is filtered, but not in the process. Because there is a greasy film on the surface, and a dark trace on the walls. I.e., as the water was poured, it turns all day long. We went with the company, after washing we began to apply a mask on the face, with one brush for everyone)). As they say, the curtain. There is no harp, take a tambourine. We had the fifth building, there was a cleaner Mark, who speaks Russian very well. I paid him money, did everything I asked. At least he gave me fresh towels every other day. The child threw up in bed, promptly replaced and washed everything, thanks to him for that. If you go towards the ship, then all the rooms with broken windows, restaurants on the beach are the same. The tables are scattered, as if there was a bombing. Mosquitoes devour mercilessly in the evening, the window cannot be opened. The reef is dying, it was much richer 20 years ago. In general, the hotel is creepy, but the sea is good.
Deception, deception, deception!!!!! All rooms on booking sites are not standard - the standard is dirty old rooms, do not see each other in the photo!!!! Dirt is everywhere! Disposable paper cups in the rooms, dirty linen, torn curtains. THERE is NO WIFI AT ALL, even the paid one does not work.
The food is normal. The beach is nice. Alcohol in 0.2 cups
The corals are dead!!!! There are very few fish!!!!
Even in Ras Mohamed
Inappropriate behavior of guides from Biblioglobus. Excursions were sold only in the first 2 hours after the scheduled meeting, they did not want to sell anymore)))))
All representatives of travel agencies are Egyptians, and this is a fake)))))
The sea, the sun at 10, but the service in the kitchen at 2, the rooms in the 500 wing have not been repaired for ten years.

I didn't like the fact that being in this place for as many as 3 times , ... the Egyptians did not want to give any compliments , give the best room ... they were settled with a scandal !!! And in general, the Pyramid has become much worse, a maximum of 3-4 🌟. I would not recommend it !!! Thanks for the hospitality, The food is a lot, but not very tasty, seafood 0... the rooms were cleaned . The staff except the reception is fine (the reception needs to be changed unambiguously) I will never come here again.
I do not recommend it. The hotel needs renovation: both the room stock and the territory. The pool is not heated, so no one swam there in October, the water is cold. Room cleaning leaves much to be desired, regardless of tips. The food does not correspond to the "5 stars" category: delicious meat and fish dishes were cooked on mangalas on the street, salads and other snacks are very peculiar. I will definitely not go to this hotel a second time.

The hotel was resold and it is no longer part of the Dessole concern. The territory is huge, even to the point that a bus runs from the reception to the beach every half hour. At the moment, the repair of the right wing of the main building is underway, but this practically does not interfere with rest.
The staff is polite and friendly, the animation is so-so, the kitchen is decent.
For those who like to swim in the sea, a tip: it is better to go (leave by bus) to the far left edge of the Banana beach hotel, there is a lagoon with a sandy beach and a sandy entrance to the sea. In the rest of the territory it is a pontoon or a covered reef.
There should have been a negative review here. He was originally. But in the end, I decided not to scold the Pyramid. Egypt broke my heart. And I might even go back to the hotel. The territory is beautiful, the sea is magnificent. Don't look for Turkish cleanliness and European service here, it's not there. The hotel is for unassuming tourists, but if you like reefs and the sea, you are here. The food is delicious. Take mosquito repellents for sure. And positive. 😊😊😊
Water polo, beach view, sun top! But a wife is even better!

The iron three, of course they are doing well, but unfortunately they are not working yet, the rooms are not cleaned well, there is enough food, but it is monotonous, the cook who cooks pasta, spaghetti generally has the feeling that he cooks for dogs. Animation bold 0 Look at the sea if only,
A terrible and decrepit hotel!!! I do not advise you to go to it!
The room cleaning is so-so, everything is so old and shabby, it's already sick to live in a room. The bathtub is just a nightmare. A 5-star hotel does not pull in any way! The maximum is 3!
Food is a normal choice. But! It's cooked disgusting!!! Where are the chefs looking? Everything is overcooked, not tasty! Even the fish! Fruits - as if for cattle, some leftovers!
Declared WI-FI - it is only declared. You can say he's not there! Only near the reception you can sometimes catch even that, everything is loaded for half an hour 🤦🏼♀️
The beach is normal! But! You won't find any places there after 10 a.m. Therefore, everyone who comes to the hotel at lunch will lie on the sand or on the rocks on the beach!
The hotel is overloaded and is not designed for such a large number of people!
In the restaurant (although this dining room can hardly be called a restaurant!!!) such crowds, if you are late for dinner for at least 5 minutes, then you will look for a table for 30-40 minutes later! For such a huge hotel, one restaurant is not enough!
The staff- well, the Arabs don't like us! They don't give a shit about us and the service they claim!!!
The toilets on the beaches and in the hotel have not been repaired for 20 years!
In general, Egypt is 10 years behind the times ((( not a foot there anymore!
A lot of stairs, the staff is arrogant, they only beg for rooms, there are normal ones, but many come to change them when leaving the hotel, they tried to dilute for 8 dollars, allegedly they took something in the lobby, it is on the outskirts, it does not cost such money for 5, it does not pull a maximum of 3 animations at all, in the morning three girls will go out for 5 minutes jump and everything in the sea only from a pontoon at low tide, the sea departs by 5 meters and there are only holes with sea urchins all around, half of the bars and restaurants do not work. the heated pool is a paddling pool. I do not recommend this hotel
There is no sandy beach, as stated by the operator. There is a tiny piece of public dirty and abandoned. Upon check-in, they immediately give a very bad room in the hope of an additional payment. There is no Wi-Fi at all, sometimes it only happens at the reception desk itself. There is almost no animation. There is not a single store near the hotel, only in the one with crazy prices. Public toilets are very dirty. Boring, depressing. The territory is all made up of steps, it is very difficult to climb from the beach, because it is at the bottom.
