We rested for 6 weeks in July-August 2024, with children aged 6 and 10. We liked everything. The territory is well maintained, every day, like bees, the hotel staff work to make it clean and green. The territory is quite large, I liked it: after eating, it is useful to move around))). The food is excellent, we always chose what we want to eat, there is an afternoon snack in a restaurant near the beach. The staff is friendly and professional, we wanted to thank them and leave a tip. The beach is big, there were always enough sunbeds, the reef is gorgeous, there is almost no entrance near the shore, so only the legs can be wet, but our children swam beautifully from the pontoon, jumped and dived with masks to watch napoleons, tuna, stingrays, moray eels and many other representatives of fauna
For a quiet stay, the hotel is good, the food is varied and delicious, crabs, shrimp, beef with lamb and fish are well cooked, entering the sea only from a pontoon. The rooms are different in size and cleanliness, for the first three days I lived in a room with a sea view, very shabby, then they overpowered a little smaller, you can see the sea, but very clean and the furniture is not so old. You can say there is no entertainment at all. The staff is attentive and all issues are resolved quickly. There are a lot of sun beds, there are free ones at any time.
I'll give you a 4 for the location (Soho area) and for the best reef in the area. We went on several excursions to Dahab and the nature reserve, but the reef hotel is the most beautiful and lively of all. We also stayed at a hotel 2 km away 2 years ago, so there is something to compare it with. Otherwise, I wouldn't put up more than 3, it's a very very old housing stock, although they take good care of the territory. The food is normal, no better or worse than other Egyptian ones. There is almost no animation, maybe because it was out of season (late November).
I just arrived! Clear, honest and to the point, so far fresh impressions:
+ The beach. It's not big, but it's really sand. It's a beautiful bay, there are other hotels on both sides, and it's really beautiful. It's a good riff, but not a "wow." There are not enough fish, in general, it is also a plus of the hotel.
+ Alaska, Fish and European are really well cooked, and even delicious. Recommend. Seafood, grilled barbecue on coals, wow.
+ Sometimes they gave shrimps, crabs, strawberries, melons. That is, sometimes they spoil.
AND THAT'S IT!
- The hotel is old, all "dead". Everything, everywhere, is in very poor condition.
- Alcohol. They pour it reluctantly, and a little into cups of 150 ml. There is no standard alcohol. Beer is poured into the same foam specifically into the same beakers. A sea of paper cups and a 20ml bottle.
- Food. A standard buffet set. but! The cooking is terrible. Overcooked, over-dried, over-salted, spice wagon. The food is not delicious. Also for distribution.
- Animation is weak in the evening, almost none. For a jackdaw. It's still going to rain on the beach.
- Furniture, sun beds, hotel, toilets, everything. All the dead.
- The plates are rusty, dead. Not all of them, but out of 6 rooms, 4 were in trash.
- The working day ends after 4:30 p.m. and everyone is dispersed everywhere. Nothing is working. Beach, court, billiards, etc...Nothing is working. There's nothing to do.
- There is no movement, pensioner
- Attention! The hammam and sauna are paid. They won't let you anywhere.
- The territory is large, but it's full of houses in concrete. The sea is only on the beach. No views.
8 people went. Everyone is shocked by this "garbage dump". It's not even 4*. This is a real threesome! I have been to Egypt 7 times, always in economy 5*. I assure you, it's not worth it. There's nothing to fish except the beach. Everywhere they save on you, they are greedy. The food is bad, they pour it like in 3 * 20 ml each. Even the fat bald manager doesn't help. He always seems to be watching, but the mess is everywhere.
We had a good rest, just because we had a lot of friends and our own alcohol and music. We paid 150 rubles in January for 11 nights , which is very expensive for this asshole.
This is the second time in this hotel!
Of the advantages, the location, a large well-groomed territory, a living reef!
Now the cons, save on everything!
Beer with foam does not depend on the bar or restaurant!
The cuisine is both monotonous and diverse, and it gets boring in 9 days!
Strawberries lay in heaps upon arrival, as people arrived, they began to be given out in a paper cup of 3-4 pieces (not the first freshness with spoilage)
The queues were tormented (I'm very ashamed of the people, as if they hadn't seen the meat)
Rooms (scoop) the furniture is old and rotten in places.
They cleaned up every day, the manager 's control was also on the level, he came and straightened it out !
I'm not going anywhere until the repairs are done!
We had a rest from October 23 to 11/3/2024. The hotel is very well located, close to the airport and not far from Soho Square.
The rooms are old, cleaning every day. The staff is helpful. Beautiful landscape design. The food is delicious and varied, and the desserts are excellent
A wonderful bar!
Beautiful reef!
It is necessary to update the tracks, air conditioners, sun beds.
3 a la carte restaurants, fish and oriental - I really liked the dishes (the entourage is frankly not very good). Italian for a C grade.
The hotel is nice, we really liked it. Gorgeous reef, lots of different fish. The food is varied and delicious. The staff is polite. The rooms are well cleaned. I recommend going to a photo shoot with photographer Ibrahim, dresses are provided in different colors, the photos are then edited, it turned out to be a wonderful photo shoot, for which it is not a pity to pay!
We had a rest in two in this hotel from 11/24/2024 to 12/01/2024. Personally, I liked everything, for such a price, the rest seemed great. Yes, the rooms are not new furniture, but everything is clean and everything worked. Only there was no iron, but that's a small thing. Every day the room was cleaned and water was brought, although we still had water. We were fed three times a day, the range of food is varied, for a week +2 kg😂 We came to the sea late after breakfast, but we always found two sun loungers👌
The sea is clear, clean, but fenced in places where there are corals, this is for safety. Corals are diverse and numerous fish, very beautiful😍
The only thing is there is little entertainment in the hotel itself, but we walked in a non-hotel, in Soho, in Naama Bay...
Friendly staff, almost all Russian speakers👈 👍
Thank you🥳🥳🥳
If you choose a place to stay in Charm, then I recommend it. When other hotels have a red flag (no bathing), there is no wind in this bay. A beautiful coral reef, well, many people wrote about it, it really is! We went to the nature reserve, it's no worse here. Of course, there are fewer fish than there were 10 years ago. Secondly, the food in the hotel is at a good level (13 times in Egypt, I know what I'm talking about). I'll describe the situation now so that you don't get caught up in it. When checking in, the person clicked the safe, showed how, and it kind of jammed. I called, they came, opened it, showed me how to use it, and let me sign the documents that were opened in our presence. After 3 days, we noticed that 80 dollars were missing, and different bills were 20, 10, and 5. We understood that if we had presented the document, we would have signed it ourselves, that the safe had been opened in our presence.
Good afternoon! I want to share my impressions of the trip. It's a great place, the staff is very good, they speak Russian, any request you make is immediately fulfilled, the room is clean, our bed linen was changed every 2 days, and if you could see what swans they twisted out of towels for us, it's a miracle and flower petals decorated the bed and bathroom. Always fresh water in the room
I was at this hotel in October 2024. A hotel for a relaxing holiday! In the evening, there is nothing but an evening show in the amphitheater! It's good that Soho is nearby! You can take a walk! The food is normal! A separate topic is the beach bar!!!! Cardboard cups! Beer is poured with more foam... for what? They do not respond to comments! People come up with their glasses! Is this normal? The only plus is the sea! The reef is normal! Fish! The pontoon is small!There are no territories of locations! Everything is so old! They are trying to be clean! But battered tiles, old furniture and a leaky faucet will not save this! This hotel does not pull for 5 in any way!
I came to this hotel for the second time! The hotel is for a quiet family holiday, although it is located in the center of Soho! Nice reef, there is a place to swim! The food is very good, a variety of meat and fish daily! Desserts are very tasty, you can easily gain a couple of extra pounds if you get carried away) Animation compared to last year is about nothing! But the big plus for me is the location near the airport, 15 minutes and you're at the hotel! So I recommend it!
The hotel is conveniently located, close to the airport, 10-15 minutes drive, near the pedestrian entertainment area SOHO. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room stock is old. We had a suite room, spacious, cleaned every day, replenished the water in the room also daily. About food: rice, pasta, potatoes, vegetables, herbs, various rolls. The choice is large, without frills, you will not stay hungry. The territory is well maintained, there is always a lifeguard on duty at the pools, security guards patrol the territory. The beach is small, come early to get a sunbed with an umbrella. Towels are provided both by the pool and on the beach. There is animation, not very incendiary, the guys work on the beach in the morning and evening at the restaurant. Buildings are being built on one side of the territory.
The hotel is generally good, I recommend it for a family holiday.
Delicious and varied.The guys from the staff are friendly. They are caring and take care of the safety of children. They are friendly and smiling. Animators are trying their best on the beach. The main Misha is always ready to help. The reef is gorgeous. The rooms are a bit old. It doesn't matter to us. The location of the hotel is super. The beach is gentle for children and for snorkeling panton. Soho Square at the exit. An ice rink with a rental is also there. They are cleaned every day. The territory is large. Alcohol is like everywhere else I think) duty free is nearby.
A budget hotel. I recommend.
Budget 5, but a very good location. Beautiful Sharks Bay, beautiful reef, colorful corals, a variety of fish. The hotel itself is old, the rooms are already asking for updates, some rooms are quite sad, but everything works, everything is taken care of. Food from the category of "You will not stay hungry", but without luxury and delicacies. The restaurant is clean everywhere! I would not go a second time, but neighboring hotels are many times more expensive. I was going to the Red Sea, I didn't want to overpay for the walls. The only offense is that we were traveling in mango season, it costs $1 in a nearby store. And the hotel didn't give it even once...
We stayed at the hotel as a couple from October 13 to October 20. The room was given immediately, I asked for a sea view and gave 20 dollars. They gave 736 rooms, second floor, sea view. Very close to the beach. But to the restaurant further away. The room is one-room, the furniture is old, the shower is narrow, but there is a huge balcony. I was pleased. Nothing fell off, everything worked. The floor-to-ceiling mirror was pleasing, and the view from the balcony was generally a song. To the sea and the island. We met the sunrise, admired the orders. We didn't go down the stairs to the beach, but along the road. I liked the beach, and the corals generally exceeded expectations. We swam with a mask for 2 hours, we didn't notice the time. But I recommend not to add to the beach of the Savoy hotel, it's to the right. I saw reef sharks there. On a sandy bottom. I thought maybe I was mistaken. But on this day, another boy and a scuba diver saw them. But they are not interested in people and do not come close. In general, the most interesting fish and corals are to the left of the pier. The hotel is old, but well maintained. It is conveniently located. And we liked that during our week we caught a foam party twice, live music twice. Animation every day. The pool bar was open, you could do and drink drinks or smoke a hookah without leaving the pool. 2 dollars. The bartenders are funny, they try. The water is very warm at this time in the sea and in the pool, I do not want to go out. I liked the blue slide. By the way, everything is very clean, this is a big plus! Both in the toilets and in the restaurant. And the linen is so snow-white, it was changed once in a week. The towels are also soft, white. The janitor twisted new figures for us every day, funny ones. Tips were left every other day. The car goes around the territory. Several times he brought us to the reception from the beach. I liked the a la carte restaurants, especially the Italian one. We haven't been to Asian. And the fish is also a class. There's fish, crab, shrimp, and a very tasty soup. In the evening, you can take a walk in Soho, as soon as you leave the hotel. And there's beauty there!!! You can even skate, there's an ice rink. In general, we really enjoyed our hotel and stay. We wish you the same!
From the good:
the buffet. A wide variety of all kinds of food every day.
Beach: clear water, coral reef, fish.
Service: the room was cleaned every day.
The hotel itself is quite cozy.
On the downside: the room has old furniture.
Location is an undoubted plus. A living coral reef and proximity to Soho Square. Excellent food.
And then there are only disadvantages. A very "tired" hotel. Everything in the rooms is worn and dirty. Don't be surprised if instead of a whole towel they bring you only half of it - we had it regularly. Absolutely does not correspond to 5* - maximum 3*. Bedbugs in room 130. After the complaint, the number was changed, the problem went away, the sediment remained.
That is why this hotel is the most inexpensive in this bay. It's up to you when choosing. I don't recommend it. In general, the attitude of some of the staff is very well demonstrated by a photo of a hotel employee's car (Misha in Russian)- the head of the animators, who defiantly puts the car in front of the hotel entrance and reacts aggressively to the remark - my country, I write what I want. That's how they treat us. Unfortunately, the hotel's reaction to this defiant behavior has not been received.
Cozy, comfortable, despite such heat - a lot of greenery, everything that is cooked is delicious! Politeness, tolerance, solving current issues - all at a high level. It's quiet at night. If you want to take a walk in the evening, please, Soho Square is nearby (this is an entertainment center with fountains, bars, shops, even an ice rink). Entering the water from a fairly mobile pantone is not realistic with small children. And there are no screams, no lovers of raising their children from a distance, across the entire beach, only music. And there are not enough words to describe the beauty of the underwater world.
We had a rest with my daughter at this hotel. The rooms are a bit tired and outdated. The food is good, there is a sufficient choice of various dishes. The beach is clean with plenty of sun beds. There is a volleyball court on the beach
We had a rest with children from April 20th to 30th. We were lucky with the weather and the warm sea, the reef is beautiful, the pool is clean, the territory is well maintained. Rooms are cleaned well, water is provided every day. The rest are disadvantages:
Very old furniture in the room, half of the drawers are not closed. I'm not usually picky about furniture, but I've never seen such junk before. There was nowhere to put things, there were only hangers in the closets, and the drawers did not open. Everything in the bathroom is also shabby, small ants are running around by the ton, we had medicines with us, we had to throw everything away, because the ants attacked them. The fan is cracking, it is impossible to sleep with it at night. Our room overlooked a nearby hotel, there were discos several times a week until 3 a.m., we could not sleep. To set up the water in the shower is a whole quest, then ice, then boiling water, it's terrible.
The food is very monotonous, there is only one type of meat (chicken, beef, fish), but there is no choice and there is always a queue for them. There are a lot of salads and sweets, side dishes, but the trouble is with meat. There have always been crabs, but they are small, there is nothing to eat there and it is inconvenient. The shrimps were given only once and then 3 pieces per person. Cheese for breakfast was not edible and only of one kind. Waiters carry drinks, but rarely, apparently only for tips. They only brought it to us on the first day and that's it, they didn't come up to us anymore. They didn't give cheese to pasta for lunch and dinner at all, pasta was only in sauce, the children didn't eat it, they had to ask to do it separately without everything, but they were undercooked. There are no fruits at all, only green melons, oranges and tangerines, dates, rarely bananas. They gave me peaches once. Mango and other exotic fruits were not in sight. Prices in the supermarket are more expensive than in Moscow. Ice cream was not found at all, although they said that they give it for lunch about once a week, there is also nowhere to buy it at the hotel, only in the supermarket for $ 2. In general, the supermarket is overpriced at times, even in the store at the hotel it was much cheaper.
The restaurant is only at the beginning of the territory, for lunch I had to walk from the sea through the very heat on a steep slope, it is very difficult with children. On the beach, the restaurant only snacks with burgers and potatoes.
Beer was poured into half a glass, half of them foam.
The pool is heated and cool, there are slides in the pool, but children under 12 are not allowed there, and the children's slide has been turned off. The children were very upset. My husband negotiated with the builders to let them in a couple of times, but the main one came and yelled at them in the local language. Awful. The caretakers do not allow anything, they constantly swear. They were not allowed to go to the pool by the sea with children at all, the reasons were not explained. In the afternoon, the pool is closed for some reason, they are not allowed to swim.
I don't know who wrote about good animation, we didn't see it. There is no pool at all, by the sea it is only very sluggish, mostly for adults. There were no incendiary and interesting animators, there is no children's animation, only a children's club, but we did not go there, there are mosquitoes and midges. The children's disco is so-so in the evening. There were a couple of small performances, but so-so, to be honest. The rest of the entertainment is after 21, when the children need to be put to bed already.
In general, we were dissatisfied with the rest. We paid 310k and expected not such a bad service.
I had a rest last year, I'll go again! Now with relatives. Good! I add: we had a rest from 09.08 to 17.08. 2024. Everything went great, my daughter-in-law and grandson liked it. There are, of course, some disadvantages, but they do not cover many advantages. A reasonable combination of price and quality. And the beauty of the reef, the underwater world, the warm, gentle, calm sea, from which you just don't want to leave - it's priceless! Definitely, we will come again.
I really liked the hotel, especially the sea and the reef, my husband and I are very satisfied. The area is good, I also liked the food, although we were told that everything was bad. The animation is great, thanks for a wonderful stay. Plus , the hotel is near Soho , there is a place to spend evenings.
I went to this hotel knowing its disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the rooms, furniture, appliances - "tired". And our knowledge allowed us to "understand and forgive"! 😊 And for the rest, everything is fine: attentive reception service, even personal Internet was distributed by the administrators to solve my problems; room cleaning - every day and for our small rewards, the cleaner did some crafts from towels every day! Delicious food, a large area, Green and full of wildlife: lizards, herons, hoopoes, bats! The first line, a coral reef right next to the shore, constantly swam in a mask and flippers, admired the sea promises! And there is a huge variety of them! Even stingrays, hedgehog fish and needles, Napoleon, hirurki! Don't move! In general, it's great to relax there! I'm not talking about Pyramids, boat trips, desert safaris at all!
A good budget five, near SOHO Square. Its own reef with a lot of fish, the entrance to the sea is only from a pontoon, from the shore you can go about knee-deep. Coffee in bars and restaurants is only Nescafé from the machine or alternatively Turkish coffee for a dollar in the bar, next to the reception. The hotel was renovated a long time ago, the furniture is also old, the rooms are clean. The staff is very friendly. If you want to take a break from the noise of children, then there is a 16 plus area with a swimming pool and a bar and sun loungers.
I had a rest in October for 24 years with a child, if you do not take into account the condition of the rooms (although it is quite normal to sleep and relax), then otherwise we were extremely satisfied. The food is excellent, seafood, chicken, delicious beef, desserts, vegetables, fruits, cereals, omelets, hot dogs, pancakes, pizzas and much more. You will never stay hungry and you will always choose the dishes to your taste. Animation is always on top, the guys try their best, organize competitions on the beach, foam parties, dances, etc. In the evening, too, you can attend performances, performances, participate in contests. The staff is very friendly, for just a "thank you" or for a small reward (Alyonka,💲), the cleaner will surprise you with figures made of towels. In general, the impression is excellent and for a pleasant small price, just what the reef is worth, it's incredibly beautiful, there are a lot of fish that when you see you can't believe your eyes that nature has created such beauty. And most importantly, in the hotel, near the reception there are shops that have quite reasonable prices, these are clothes, sweets, cosmetics, and bags, and we concluded that there is no need to go to the city, because there we paid the highest price for everything. It's a pity that we only found out about the shops in the hotel in recent days. AND AGAIN!!! If you don't know each other yet and have never visited Rubik's perfume store, you've lost a lot. He is an unrealistically talented person in his field, he creates fragrances of any brand, and even made a special fragrance for me according to my individual order. In addition, he is a polyglot, speaks excellent Russian and is so sociable that people just come to him to drink tea, chat, and spend time with him. I have never met such positive people in my life who charge you with such crazy energy and fulfill your desires in creating fragrances. In addition, many people who already know about Rubik and his store come from other hotels, but he manages to give everyone time, treat them to tea, consult, talk about oils, herbs and in general he is a very pleasant conversationalist. I will undoubtedly return to the same hotel to see Rubik and recharge with his wonderful energy. P.S. The perfume is unrealistically thin, delicate, fragrant, has a train and many people come up to me and ask what kind of fragrance it is. Thanks a lot to Rubik for such a fragrant creation. I regret that I did not take more volume, but next time we will fix it😉
The location is excellent. The disadvantage is that the hotel is quite old, but at the same time it is clean and well-maintained territory. The food is not bad, the food is delicious, but the choice is not huge. The animation is great, the diving club on site is great. In total, there are a lot of positive emotions. If the beauty of the room is not very important to you, and we usually come there cleanly to spend the night, then I definitely advise the hotel. If you need a stable Internet, then buy SIM cards, this saves you as Wi-Fi is only in the main course. The territory is large and green, beautiful views and the first line. There is also a private beach and several swimming pools. Nearby there is Soho Square where you can walk and buy not only clothes but also have a duty free
Plus, they put on the bracelet at the time of arrival, and do not cut it off on the day of departure.A huge disadvantage is alcohol, it is diluted to the state of water, in beer, really, only foam.The territory of the hotel is average, an electric car rides, picks up your luggage, there is an exit directly to the center of Soho.The food is great, especially mushroom soup puree.Veal meat, above all praise, meat rolls, pumpkin and zucchini side dishes, pizza, omelets, fried eggs, lots of greens, burgers, and shawarma are cooked, fries on the beach, and cutlets.The room is warm, the first floor, without a balcony, the water pressure is weak,room 519, I caught the Hollywood cafe Wi-Fi in the morning, the rooms themselves are clean and dry, but the materials are crumbling, there is no tea or coffee,the water costs 1.5liters per person.The animation is active, there is yoga, darts, on the beach.Everyone has already written about the fish, the rescuers whistle to avoid swimming on the corals, on Fanara beach they whistle, on the contrary, if you swim deep.
Great hotel, beautiful bay. There is a lot to see, the underwater world is abundant. The staff is very polite and courteous. I liked the kitchen, the wonderful chef. The rooms are not new, but clean, cleaning every day, there are no complaints at all.
The animation program both on the beach and after dinner is good and interesting.
In general, we decided to come to this wonderful hotel again!
Everything is fine! The old hotel, but the sea and the territory are magical!!!
There are employees at the reception for 3 people, but the big boss is always there, you can complain and put things in order. The waiters are wonderful. The cleaning is good! The food is good. I recommend it!!
We stayed at the hotel from December 16-15, 2024.
the hotel is big, really the first line, the food is normal, no delicacies, but we were not hungry. Of course, there are no juices for 5 ki, and alcohol wants the best, it's safe to drink it.
The convenient location is 5 minutes to Soho Square, the animation is average, but still there is every evening and you can also have fun on the beach.
The staff is polite, but we didn't have any problems, so we didn't contact them.
The numbers were disappointing. 2-storey houses, outwardly very beautiful, but inside- a shock. The rooms are very shabby, everything is very very old, there is no kettle, and accordingly no tea and coffee items. It was very stressful, as it gets dark early in winter, the beach closes at 16-30 and it gets cool. But there was nothing in the room, all the bars were closed and I had to go to the reception for coffee and carry it in a paper cup to the room, it's not close and it's not very convenient.
There is a reef, fish too, but not as rich as we would like.
In general, the rest was normal, but because of the very shabby room stock, we came to the conclusion that we would not come there again and would not recommend it to friends.
Friendly staff, by the sea, a bay without wind, a beautiful lively reef, the hotel is a little old, but in a lively place, near a tourist location, there is a place to walk
Just incredible emotions from this hotel! I want to mention the animators right away: young, funny, active, friendly, well done!
The food is very tasty, the buffet, buns for breakfast and pasta for lunch is generally something unreal, and pineapple juice is very tasty!!!! On New Year's Eve, there were delicious cocktails and shrimp 😋😋
The whole staff is super friendly, they always ask how you are, smiling, cute. The pool is good, one is warm, the second is cold, but it's not bad either, I liked the yellow slide.
The beach is super, they gave delicious burgers and fries after 3. You are cool!!!❤
Not a bad hotel for your money. The worst part is the rooms and the road to the sea . There is a sharp descent and ascent, other hotels have an elevator or lifts, there are inconvenient solutions. The food is not bad , but for the first time I saw a problem with boiled eggs for breakfast , they are hidden on the pancake stand.The falafel is tasteless , as if it 's made by a student , everything falls apart and is salty . Everything is fine for meat and fish , everything is the same for sweets , sponge cake and various creams or glazes .Drinks are poured into beakers , which are strong, which are 1/3 cups or glasses of wine .At the reception , when you need it , they don 't always understand how it benefits them . Egypt is famous for this, especially economy class hotels. There is no hot water after 16 , there is simply no cleaning in the shower , mold on the walls . The towels are torn , the deck chairs are all old , the pontoon is terrible , while walking , your foot can get stuck in the squares , everything has cracked and somehow disguised for a long time . There's no railing, there's wind and waves, it's just trash. There is animation, but every week everything is the same, and there have been 2 weeks, everything is carbon copy.It's a beautiful reef , it's magical , the rescuers are watching it very well . The staff is generally very helpful. At the reception, if you arrived before check-in, they just don't notice you, but if you give 20 dollars, there is immediately a beautiful room (in their opinion) with a view of the sea and they will immediately put on a bracelet.Although there were no numbers just now . The service is amazing. The lobby bar is some kind of black hole, cocktails are swill that will be covered with syrup and thrown to you without ice and straw. We thought it was just us , but no ,
It's just something to take in this hotel's heated ice pool. I liked the rest, due to the fact that we did not notice the little things, the sea, the sun, the good company, and let the service remain on the conscience of the hotel employees.

Briefly but to the point: The price/The quality is just great! The center of SOHO Square is a 2-minute walk away, opposite a supermarket and a pharmacy. There is everything for a relatively inexpensive price. We were in winter, sooo liked it! The rooms are renovated, but everything is well-groomed and clean, so please, those who come here, make sure that you paid little and learned a lot, due to the fact that the perfect reef, sea, sandy beach, animation every day, foam parties twice a week, the beach offers guided tours to twice cheaper than tour operators (don't be afraid to go! This is not the first time). The sun beds are brought and taken away (just give 1 dollar, it won't hurt you). The entire staff is working at 101% - thank 1 dollar once a day for dinner and you always have wine, beer, etc. on the table. To the MAJORS AND MAJORS: relax and have fun, then you will understand)) As for the rooms: they are all almost the same here, as there are several rooms on the first line, such as sea view. The rest are all located deeper into the territory, but for that they are closer to the pools and the dining room. Therefore, choose 1) the second floor (all houses are two storeys high) and 2) it doesn't matter where, since you either go to the beach or to the dining room, so it doesn't matter where you will live according to the location. In short, give me $20 at the reception and they'll show you all the rooms that are available, or they'll move you tomorrow, whatever is available. (whether you'll need it or not). I want to add that if it's just a little bit! if you want a more recent renovation in the rooms, then these are rooms for five hundred people, located as close as possible to the dining room and reception... That's what other tourists said...
I just returned from vacation and decided to leave a review.
1. the location is convenient, 20 minutes from the airport, but there are no planes in sight, not like in Alanya
2. The hotel is beautiful, corresponds to 5 rooms, solid, wooden furniture, in good condition, heavy curtains, spacious rooms with balconies or a terrace, a large bathroom with a window. I prefer this kind of environment than a new cheap minimalist style.
3. Cleaning every day, bring drinking water to the room. I already hung up on the 3rd day: do not disturb, because they cleaned too well - I felt sorry for them, my place was clean anyway. Towels and sheets are new, terry towels are perfectly white, it's already scary to dry off))
4. The food is delicious, varied and in abundance in just enough quantity to limit yourself in time and not roll out a bun. Alcohol is bullshit wine, strong is normal, the monopoly of the state is brandy, rum of the same brand
5. The territory is large, well-groomed, green, 3 swimming pools, 2 with slides, comfortable sun beds with mattresses.
6. The sea is gorgeous, and not too warm and not cold, which is necessary, refreshing. The entrance from panton, which suits me personally, is convenient. You can also lie on the shore up to the corals, 1.5 meters there is a place for children and it's not scary to leave them there - they won't go anywhere.
7. There is beach animation, exercise, entertainment, a beach bar, a barbecue area for those who did not have time to have breakfast, but few people participated in animation programs, everyone is lying, but in vain, the killograms are growing.
disadvantages:
1. The beach closes at 18.00 it's early, another hour, to swim, when the sun no longer bakes, it sets beautifully and the view becomes stunning, but you have to leave, the pontoon is closed, the lifeguard leaves, and the guests are escorted from the beach area. But for those who are in a hurry for dinner by 19.00 it is normal.
2. After dinner, a small entertainment program: watch, listen, contests, but we would also do a little disco at the amphitheater, because we want activity- dancing, fun, but all this is not there. You can go with the animators to a disco outside the hotel, some cool disco, $ 15-40, but I didn't go, which I regretted later.
I recommend the hotel, but go with the company or get acquainted and hang out outside the hotel. The impression is very cool- I'm sending my daughter and mom there tomorrow 😂
Nice hotel! Old rooms, old furniture, but all this is compensated by cleanliness, courtesy of the staff and a beautiful well-maintained territory! We arrived early, but there were no problems with check-in - we offered two rooms to choose from! The food is excellent, the reef is beautiful!
They write a lot of negative things about alcohol, although such alcohol is almost everywhere now if you relax in budget hotels)
The good old days are still in my memories (
We want a cheaper hotel, but the requirements for Rixos hotels are somehow illogical)
The animation is only 2 hours on the beach and boring(
The chic Soho Square is within walking distance from the hotel!
We are satisfied and thank you Island View!!!
A solid 3-star hotel. The main and biggest disadvantage is the infrastructure. Especially the numbers, it's just awful. The hotel is 30 years old, apparently the rooms have never been renovated since the opening. The sun beds are old and torn, towels every other time, too. Well, everything is so old everywhere. There is no alcohol, however, as everywhere, but it is bottled in disposable 100ml and no more at a time.
One of the advantages is a very beautiful reef. There is an entrance cleared near the shore, it is very convenient for small children. The food is delicious: meat, fish, seafood (crabs, shrimp, tuna, etc.) every day. The territory is well maintained, gardeners work. It is very beautiful to walk nearby in the beautiful Soho Square.
"Two for you!"
To put it mildly, I'm disappointed. This is a hotel that I would like to say a Disgrace about every day. It hasn't smelled like a five for a long time. A pathetic three by a stretch. Everything is old, broken, dirty. Bed linen and towel with holes, curtains in puffs. Dirty carpets that have not been cleaned for years. Everything is loose, the locks are nominal, there is no question of any security. Our safe broke down twice. Toilet paper was hung up every two days, of course, it ended earlier. They save on everything here, I wanted to say "well, don't be ashamed already!", especially when they put exactly one napkin in the dining room for everyone, and to get it you still have to run after the waiter, and he will give you one again! There are old broken sun beds on the beach, which are missing. I was in the other fives and fours, there was no such horror anywhere. It's not worth the money.
The only advantages are the reef and the proximity to the airport.
We have been vacationing since early August 2024. The hotel is very tired, water is leaking in some places in the bathroom, a little rust, sockets are hanging out. As elsewhere, the stated 5* is not present, there are 3*. In general, I eat everything more or less, without frills, but you can live if you "warm up" the waiters a little, then they bring beer, coffee, wine, juices to the table, i.e. you do not have to insert yourself and go after them. The territory is good, but part of it is under repair. The beach is small, but quite pleasant and clean. Antlers are only 30 meters from the beginning of the reef. It's hot in August and there are a lot of people in the afternoon, we swam from the opening of the beach from 7.30 am, there are still no people, and there are much more animals on the reef than in the afternoon. If you are not critical of the condition of the room, everything is fine, if it is critical, then you will not like it. Cockroaches and other animals were not noticed in the room. They clean up for three, but they smile all over their face.
An old hotel, with an old interior, everything is falling apart.Tired employees who hate vacationers settled in earlier, thank God-at 11 a.m., thank you.you go for alcohol and every time it's humiliating, beer is poured with foam.The food is monotonous.Animation on the beach for 1 hour and in the evening at 21:30 in the amphitheater for an hour.The area is very clean.Annoying crows are sitting everywhere, stealing food from the table in the restaurant.The pools are cold, the slides are timed.I had a massage, 30 dollars for 50 minutes of massage, a hot sauna and an ice Jacuzzi-long live cystitis!when I was lying on my stomach, they put a smelly towel, asked me to change it, turned it over.I asked to change it again, took the dirty one, but it will do for us anyway, after the visit, herpes on the lip came out half an hour later.They do not hesitate to swear in their own language .
As soon as the sun goes down, at 16h everyone is kicked off the beach!!!
The sunset is only from panton, the sea is beautiful; there are a lot of corals and fish.
In the shop in the hotel, where the male seller is sitting, you can only buy a SIM card from him at the hotel.where it is smoky and stinks from the mouth when talking.I asked if it was possible to exchange our rubles for dollars, said yes, called the departing guide from the biblioglobus and changed it for me.for this, the seller charged me 6 dollars, to my indignation, said that I should also say thank you and thank you.He's a very nasty guy.A very pleasant and polite security chief, a fat man with glasses.Animators take you to discos for 15 dollars.
The hotel is super! The beach is super! The grub is super! The rooms are average, but it is not necessary. I was interested in the beach, the reef and the fish. Beer is normal, four paper cups are equal to our one))) Strong booze sucks! Take it with you! 2 liters per person) I am happy with my rest. Everyone knows Russian)
I'm at this hotel right now. October 2024. We arrived very late at first. We decided - kapets is a hole. We're running away. There are three beds for 4 people. And a sofa. Having screamed at the reception at the first hour of the night, we received a bed in the room. Linen and towels. In the morning we realized that not everything is bad.
I also take toilet and water from the cleaners' carts. Yes, by myself. It doesn't bother me. There is always water and a toilet in the room. So that there is a reserve.
The husband calmed down and so did the daughter. And the hotel didn't go too far. And my youngest son and I liked it well.
The food is delicious. Normal.fresh. it can be monotonous. But satisfying. I'm too lazy to write about food.
A very beautiful reef. Lots of fish. The entrance is great. And they swim with the kids. The water was 28 degrees Celsius on October 29.
The first time I was persuaded to a spa massage.
Ruby the masseur is good. For women, only women do peeling and massage. I got it cheaper than the hammam guides.
I paid for a massage at the spa. I received it every day. Hammam, hydro massage, swimming pool, and back massage of the head and face (paid for the back) surprised.
The staff is approx. Who is being rude - do not swear. Step back. It's hard for them to work too. My daughter is 21 years old and speaks English passably. That's who was chatting both at the bar and at the sea. The man in the sea became ill. Rescuers and oxygen tanks came through the mine. After 10 minutes, there was a doctor with a full set. This is valuable and important to me.
Yes, the rooms are old. Well, the hell with it. The plumbing is working and the TV is showing. Very clean linen. The beds are comfortable.
Soho 1 minute. There is no animation. Well, figs. I go to bed early and go swimming very early. My children and I didn't have to. My husband and his adult daughter were walking in Soho.
I would have come back.
We had a rest in September 2024.
The overall impression is, to put it mildly, terrible 😅 the room stock is very old, as is the whole hotel
Everything is shabby everywhere, construction is generally underway on part of the territory and everything is blocked by fences
The pools open only at 10 a.m., and already at 2 p.m. they close until 3, and work until a maximum of 5:30-6 🤷🏼♀️ the sea is also only up to 6, it's the first time we've encountered such a system
The descent into the sea from a pontoon, but it is very strange, in the sense that it is not the usual strong bridge, but just movable half-cracked plastic cubes
The food is very average, I don't know who writes that there is enough of everything and why something else, but if you have been to decent hotels, to put it mildly, you will be horrified by what you see)) often meat and fish are overcooked, for half of the dishes (especially desserts) you need to queue for delivery and poke your fingers at what where and how many snacks during the day can be taken only on the beach and only in one remote restaurant
There is no entertainment at all, the animation is very weak, in the evening it is a repetition of the same thing every week 🥴 Soho Square is just a street with typical souvenir shops 300-500 meters long at most, a couple of times they can turn on a small fountain in the center of the square or a "thrower of mini lights" will perform and that's it))
PS and about the work of the medical staff, there were very mixed feelings, in the evening it became bad, they tried to call a doctor, but they told us that he was at home on vacation, so they would not be able to help us in any way))) as a result, they waited for 4 hours until the doctor arrived and, through persuasion, did the necessary manipulations 🤷🏼♀️
The hotel corresponds to the price-quality point. 2021 for the fourth year. 2022 is super. 2023 is worse than 2021.2024, everything is bad. All visits are on the first of November. But the sea is cool, the reef is super. By sea, one of the best places in Charm, that's why we're coming here. Not for the fussy.
We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, checked in at 12. The room consists of two rooms, it's dead, it's cold in the room, like in a basement. Check-in is from December 19th to December 29th. The blankets are just awful. The bed linen was changed 2 times in 10 days.
A separate topic is the restaurant. It's just a factory canteen. There's not much choice. We weren't hungry, but everything doesn't look appetizing either. The tables are cleaned quickly, of course. I would like to have tablecloths in the 5th, not napkins. Everything is very modest. There are guys who clean the tables, they are very arrogant, they extort chocolate brazenly.
There are always plenty of sun beds on the beach, but they are just dead. The material is all stretched out, collapsed. It is impossible to lie on them. Animators on the beach dance and have fun for 2 hours a day. There is no anamation of any kind. We were invited to a nearby hotel once. But it was something. Everyone was leaving this show. If you can call it that.
The area is clean, workers are constantly planting flowers and removing garbage.
Beach bar, only beer and spirits. To have a snack, you need to climb the stairs only from 3-30. But there's nothing there but a burger and fries.
I do not recommend this hotel to elderly people at all. You need to go down and up steep stairs.
I will never return to this hotel.
The hotel doesn't look like it's going to take 5 minutes. Weak 3.
There are threes much better than this hotel. I don't recommend it.
We had a rest in April 2024, a normal hotel, normal food, mosquitoes in the room flew slowly and all died on the first day of rest. The sea is excellent, the variety of fish is small.
The staff is friendly and helpful, there is no language barrier at all. There are two excellent slides on site. In general, everything is on a solid four)
I want to say that the hotel is old, but my room was good, cleaning every day, soft white towels! The food is wonderful! Everything is very tasty!!! The only thing that didn't suit is panton, you walk like a living organism, that is, it consists of plastic squares fastened together and walking on it is still a cross!!! At least there would be a railing! There is no way to swim from the shore at once corals. I rested with pleasure, the staff is friendly.
We had a rest in September, from 7 to 14.09.2024.Terrible hotel!!!!!!!!!The rooms are old, battered by life, the territory is just about nothing, there is little greenery, everything is small, do not try to go in September like us, 90% Arabs, completely shameless, arrogant, climb everywhere without a queue, everyone has 4 children who constantly scream and cry, but they are not touched by it at all, the choice of food is meager and if it's grilled fish, shrimp or crabs, they put two pieces for you and that's enough and if you ask to report, they also look at what they've already put for you, go ahead, the staff is terrible!!!completely unfriendly, when you ask to pour an alcoholic drink, they look at you as if they pour it out of their pocket, and if they pour a double portion, it's two bottle caps and besides, all strong alcohol is diluted with water, good beer is not diluted, glasses are constantly removed, although they are full and we are not far away!!!Get ready for the fact that you will entertain yourself, there is no animation from the word at all!!!I wish you a "pleasant" stay, who chose this hotel, if possible, change it urgently to another one!!!!!!!!
The staff is polite and courteous. However, the interior is already outdated, the furniture is old, but we did not go to rest in the room, so these are small things.
The reef is beautiful, I really liked it😀
They were not looking for entertainment at the hotel, but there were not many of them there as such.
