Everything is great! Yes, the rooms are a little old, but this does not affect the quality of your stay! Everything else is fine!

I was here with my wife in 2015. I liked everything very much. Room apartment- a bedroom with a living room and access to the pool overlooking the sea and the island of Tirana. There was a compliment from the hotel - champagne with fruit. The sea is beautiful, there is something to see with a mask. I recommend

If you close your eyes to the fact that the hotel is called a five-star hotel, then you can live. The rooms are ancient. The food is average. You will not be able to get drunk - you will not run over beer, which is poured into paper 170 milliliter cups with foam, strong alcohol is diluted to indecency, wine is colored water. Therefore, all residents are in the apartment, which is only a plus for the hotel)) A living reef, decent staff, well-groomed green territory, hoopoes-herons-crows-pigeons-sparrows, two well-fed cats. The bed is comfortable, the plumbing is working, animation is available, Wi-Fi is only in the lobby. But the price tag for tours is definitely too high.

We were in this hotel from May 24 to May 3, 2024, cons-the hotel is dying, the fact that old furniture and everything else here I knew about it, but not to think so badly at all, the staff, especially at the reception, have not met such extortionists for a long time, the gym, which in the photo has not been cleaned for a long time, the desire to go there going to study disappeared immediately, the children are bored here, there is nothing for them, in principle, "advertising pilots" are barging along the beach, as everywhere else, the main thing is not to succumb to their streets, I do not advise drinking water from the cooler, otherwise the rest is spoiled, your closest friend will be a toilet.
The advantages are the SEA, a beautiful coral reef.
There are 14 times in Egypt, so there is something to compare it with.
I just don't recommend it.

We had a rest at the end of October 2023- the biggest plus is a beautiful coral reef with a variety of fish! The rooms are large, the bathroom with shower is also large, there is somewhere to disperse), but without repair for a long time, although everything is working. The food is monotonous, meager, but you can find something delicious) Wi-Fi only at the reception

Well, to begin with, this is not a 5ka, but a 4ka, even a 4 * sign hangs at the reception. And in fact, all 3 *. The hotel is old, the rooms are dead, everything is worn out, then there is no hot water, then the water in the bathroom does not go away. First, they gave a room opposite the construction site, went to "talk", changed it. There is no kettle in the room, they asked to bring it, but they bought coffee themselves anyway. And this is my 1st hotel, where at 17 o'clock they are kicked out of the pool and from the beach, they are KICKED OUT. They even manage to close the pool for an hour at lunch - IT'S LIKE. Food is also weak, drinks are diluted, and cocktails are not able to make at all. Draft beer is poured into a small glass if, then half a glass of beer, and half a glass of foam, so many come with their containers. For people who find it difficult to move, it is better not to go. Going down to the beach will be problematic, there are high stairs. Plus, it's just that the beach is good, the reef is good and the animation is more or less. And moreover, it is not cheap. But, as they say, the taste and color, someone likes it, but I don't set foot in this hotel anymore.

We had a rest in April 2024. We arrived early, were at the hotel at 6.30, put on bracelets at 10.00, checked in at 11.00. But one of the rooms was changed (for gratitude, as they call it, $ 10 + a chocolate bar). I liked everything, the room, the food, the animation, and the hotel grounds in general. And the sea is a fairy tale)))
Probably there was not enough time. A huge plus is that Soho Square is nearby, this is the business card of Sharm el Sheikh)))
If you go back to Egypt, then most likely ISLAND VIEW RESORT 5 again *

I am disappointed with the hotel, the change of owner did not affect it in the best way. I'll start with the advantages that allow you to close your eyes to the disadvantages and enjoy your vacation. The first is the location of the hotel, near the airport, which allows you to be the first to arrive on vacation and the last to leave. The transfer takes an average of 20 minutes and there is no need to drive around the hotels dropping off / picking up tourists. Secondly, Soho Square is a 5-minute walk away, which is very pleasant to walk around in the evening. The third, a short pontoon and a living reef, is what allows you to forgive the hotel for its flaws and what it is worth going to the Red Sea for. Fourth, a large well-maintained area. Now about the disadvantages, the hotel needs renovation as much as possible. The room stock is killed to indecency, the sun beds on the beach are broken, towels can be washed the floor. Thoughts about renovation apparently visited the owners, so some of the buildings are in disassembled condition, one pool is drained. Therefore, there is actually a construction site on the territory, since repairs are not carried out. The food is as monotonous as possible, you will not stay hungry, but you will not get much pleasure from eating either. Past the main restaurant there is a pool bar, where from 15.00 to 16.30 you can take a hamburger and French fries. There is no more food anywhere, neither for a fee nor for free. There is a separate game with pools, they work according to the schedule. Pools, Carl, pools. And this is not the schedule when there is a beginning of the working day and its end. No, everything is more neglected, they work from 10 to 12 and from 14 to 17. It is forbidden for children to swim in the pool by the beach, it was not possible to find out what the logic was, the answer of the guards is such rules. So decide for yourself whether you need such a vacation or not...

The hotel is certainly a little tired. The bathroom is just sad, we've already written about the deck chairs here. But in general, I think it's okay. The staff is friendly. The reef is cool, there is a place to swim and something to see. Food for 4.
Instructions for Egypt :), maybe someone will be interested in:
1. Money - bring dollars. Small bills for tips, taxis and small expenses. Large bills for large purchases and exchange for pounds. Dollars are taken everywhere, but sometimes it is more profitable to pay in pounds. Egyptians sometimes transfer money at an unfavorable rate. You need to change dollars into pounds at ATMs, you can even at the airport, the process is not complicated, the exchange rate is normal.
3. Online - buy a SIM card right at the airport. $6 for 20 gigabytes, it was enough for me for 9 days.
2. Taxi - install InDrive and ride. The application calculates the optimal price of the trip, you will have the opportunity to offer your price if there is no response from the drivers. It doesn't work perfectly, but you can drive. The price of a trip from this hotel to the Old Town is a maximum of 5 dollars, I once managed to leave in 3. On the street, taxi drivers immediately offer 10-15 dollars.
3. Products - if you want to buy local products, go to Carrefour. A normal assortment with a fixed price.
4. Prices - bargain everywhere, you can safely bid twice as much. Well, of course, except for shops with fixed prices, there are not many of them.
5. Excursions - visit the Empire of Tourism website before communicating with the tour operator's guide.

The hotel is old and shabby.
Sea of 5 stars
The food is at the same level as the price for the hotel.
The most disgusting and disgusting thing is the terrible service at the bars, in particular at the beach bar and pool bar. In a bar by the sea, you have to beg and beg for beer. If you are a person without an addiction to alcoholic beverages, then I think you will be delighted with everything. If you love beer, then be prepared for humiliation.

The sea and animation are at a height. Everything else leaves much to be desired. The rooms are dead, the mattresses are sunken with stains, the pillows are like a brick. The food in the restaurant would like fruit. There is nothing but melons, oranges and dates. The sea is amazing, there are a lot of fish and corals. If you rub an iron brush on a pantone, the fish will gather. The animators work all day.

The hotel is good. We are now here on February 22, 2023.The food is very tasty and varied. The staff is helpful and cheerful. They always ask how are you doing? How was your vacation? . The animation in this hotel is great, but there are also disadvantages: these are SUN BEDS, they are very tired and in order to lie on good sun beds you need to go in the morning and look for normal ones. And THE ROOMS are a little tired if you fly at a time when there is wind, the double-glazed window may knock. And there are a lot of MAGPIES AND FLIES on the beach and on the hotel grounds

We had a rest in February 2024. The hotel does not pull on the declared 5 stars from the word at all. The room stock is really old, but this information is in the reviews, so we were ready for this. Upon check-in, they asked for a room closer to the sea, without any additional payment, they settled exactly like that. A kettle is provided upon request. Animation at the hotel is "weak", especially in the evening...but the animators are trying. If it wasn't for the proximity of Soho, it would be quite sad. I would like more variety in food. Of the ala-kart restaurants, only 2 are open... and both are in the same room...in turn...a very inconvenient record of the day-on the day from 13.00 to 13.15. As a result, we only got to the fish restaurant and then with the help of a guide, the food is no different from the general restaurant...I didn't like it. Alcohol is diluted everywhere, as it seemed to us. And the information on the "booklets" at check-in differs from reality, as well as the information on the menu in the lobby. We will not return to this hotel, that's for sure. And I won't recommend it to my friends!!!

Among the advantages: a reef in the sea, friendly staff. Of the minuses: the cleaning in the rooms is bad (dirty windows and mirrors, dusty curtains), the furniture is old. With the all inclusive system, there is nowhere to eat there between breakfast in the main restaurant and lunch, there are only drinks in the bars. The tea in the hotel is disgusting, the wine from the bags, but as diluted. There are a lot of meat dishes from the food, very few fruits. Delicious cheeses and desserts. The coffee is good.

In short, what to say about the hotel. The rooms are tired to tell the truth, but clean. Plumbing, in particular, faucets need to be replaced. But we didn't really sweat it. We came to the room just to sleep. Food for 10. The food is delicious every time something interesting will happen.
And the reef is in this place. It's divine. Those who love snooping - this is the place for you. You won't find it better)

We have just arrived, but we already want to return, the hotel has a very friendly atmosphere, good staff, excellent animation, the first time I participated in everything with pleasure. The food is good for Egypt, the alcohol is standard, the sun beds on the beach and umbrellas are shabby, as well as the furniture in the rooms, but it doesn't matter to us. The reef is alive, there are a lot of fish, two Napoleons swim every day. Great location, right on Soho, in the evening there is a promenade, a fountain, beauty all around.

We were at the hotel for the second time.The hotel is tired, but the attitude of all the staff is excellent.It is a pity that the second pier has not been opened since last year.Everyone was floundering like a "herring in a barrel".The food was varied.They didn't stay hungry.Who will go, be sure to sign up for an Italian restaurant, and we had a good time at the fish restaurant.Someone wrote that there are a lot of Arabs.So excuse me, you're flying to Africa, who do you want to see there?Moreover, they have a season in September-October.They leave the whole collective farm for the weekend to rest.Last year we were in November, they weren't there.I would like to come back here.Prada is a little hard to come back from the sea by the steps, but I did not recover from the seal rest.Nearby is a beautiful Soho street, there is a place to walk and take pictures.We like it here.We have been at the hotel since 09/20.23.

Special thanks to the hotel staff for their hard work, for the kindness.
Among the disadvantages: the broken housing stock. Everything is kept, again, by the work of the staff.
Kitchen for three; not tasty; at all; nothing. They do not know how to fry fish, the meat is dried to the state of insoles.
The sun beds on the beach and by the pools are broken.
Of the advantages, this is definitely a reef. I have dived 4 times. During the whole time of diving, only the sun and calm. I met a family of Napoleon fish.
If you close your eyes to the downsides, the rest turned out to be quite good. Special thanks to the massage therapists. They know their business.

We flew to this hotel on August 26
I do not advise you to go there, you will not find anything good there except the sea, for reasons:
1) The hotel was quite old, only the reception looks good. The Internet is terrible.
2) The number also makes itself felt:
- Broken closet doors and bedside tables
- The bathroom is just awful
- There was a bug under the bed, and it was not removed from the word at all, as if no one had ever cleaned there
- Broken fixtures
3) After 11 p.m., all drinks in the Victoria Bar are paid, Only the water is free there.
4) about Egypt itself, There is such a strange mobile communication system in Egypt, i.e. imagine the situation if you buy a Sim Card for, say, 20 GB, Spent 12 GB, and the remaining 8 where ..?
We came to VodaFone and were told that the Internet in Egypt is not used for social networks and for YouTube, and said: "If you want more Internet, buy another 20 for $22. I do not advise you to buy anything in Egypt connected with the Internet either
5) The staff is good, but it pisses me off that everything is slow, we ordered water, bring it in 30 minutes.
In short, I do not advise you to go there, it is to this hotel.

We had a rest from August 10 to August 20, 23. The restaurant staff is very polite and helpful, especially after a dollar. There are only louts at the reception, demanding a present for changing the room. They charge money for air. We lived in room 266, for an additional fee of $ 40, which is no different from the others. All the rooms are old, the room is poorly cleaned, I think they just don't have time. Drinks and alcohol are diluted, the food is monotonous. Of fruits, only oranges and unripe melons. There are no claims only to the sea. As we wrote earlier, the beach is terrible, the toilets are not cleaned at all. Animation for 1, duplication of games and performances every 2-3 days, the same thing.

Good time of day to everyone. We had a rest in October for 23 years. The hotel does not pull 5 in any way. In general, a three. It's not the first time I've been on vacation in Egypt, but this is the first time I've seen such a 5* hotel. We arrived at 8 am.20 dollars with a passport was given to the reception. Mohammed is wearing glasses. He took the dollars, gave me the passports, told me to wait. Not fed, settled in 11 days. Don't give them money. He says it's a tip, it's normal when I started to get indignant. The rooms are very, very old, like in the basement. Then they changed it, the air conditioner didn't work there, again to another room. On the beach, the bartender Adele sells both coffee and alcohol. And the bar manager is Mr. Mohamed or Mahmut (everyone there is Mohamed) also offers coffee, alcohol for $ 6. I don't think this is normal. The food is not very diverse, there is a queue for meat, a queue for tea. Tea is poured by the bartender, where beer and alcohol are poured. So stand in line for tea and coffee. It's annoying. Never set foot in this hotel again. Before choosing, read the reviews.

The housing stock is old and in need of repair. There are not enough outlets. There was a kettle in the room, but there was nowhere to turn it on, and there was no tea there. Cleaning is conditional. The wall in front of the toilet is covered in boogers. The janitor didn't pay attention to it. Well, that's not the most important thing on vacation. The main thing for me is the reef with fish, the sea, the sun, the beach. The beach is pretty clean, the sun beds are old. If I'm not mistaken, there are 3 pools on the territory, which I was not interested in. I'm only interested in the sea. The food is normal, of course, it does not reach 5 *. But they weren't hungry. Wine is a separate story. It's only in the main restaurant, and it's diluted so that it resembles tinted sour water. It's just a shame about this hotel! We didn't complain to anyone. But this fact is simply egregious! There were few fruits for the end of March-beginning. april. We didn't get to the a la carte restaurant. It was necessary to take a queue an hour before the start of the appointment at this restaurant for the current day. And it's not a fact that there will be places. It seems humiliating to stand in line for an hour for food. Wi-Fi is available only at the reception. There are no rooms or territories. I liked the animation. Very active, funny guys and girls, they pull out all the negative situation about this hotel and neutralize its shortcomings. The staff is not very friendly, may be poorly trained. Communication is mainly in English, Russian is poorly known. Although the hotel is filled with Russian tourists. And I also liked the location. Exit the hotel directly to Soho Square. I'm not going back there anymore. Let them do the repairs first. Does not match 5*

A wonderful hotel with a magnificent coral reef. Read the comments on the hotel, what they offer for the service is fully consistent with the price. The hotel is "tired" but absolutely clean. If it is brought to mind and local visitors are removed, its price tag will double. We were satisfied, plus we got 2 days plus from the tour operator, so we canceled the flight. The staff is adequate. The location is almost on SOHO, adds many more advantages to this hotel.

We were with my family in early April. He put one star for the sea, the second for the sun. Otherwise, there are only disadvantages. 1. Flight. From St. Petersburg, from the moment of leaving the house to entering the room - 12 hours. Back also. Flight delays, constant customs checks, standing in queues.... 2. The Rooms Suck! Dirt is everywhere. Unsanitary conditions. Cleaning is about nothing. The water in the sinks does not go away, the hair dryers heat up after a minute so that it is impossible to keep. Mosquitoes!!! We even took a Raptor. It doesn't help. Up to 3-4 nights they were caught almost constantly. The little children were all bitten, as if they had chickenpox. Air conditioners are 100 years old. Either hot air or icy! After the first night, everyone caught a cold. We still feel the consequences of them. Turn off the air conditioner - mosquitoes and stuffiness are pressing, turn on - a draft and cold. And it blows, damn it, at the headboard! We changed the room on the third day. Everything is the same, only the water began to go away. 3. Food sucks! Well, they don't know how to cook! They can easily spoil fresh fish and meat with their roasting. Even the restaurants of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine did not save. Even the crabs with shrimps managed to spoil to the point of uselessness. People crowded into queues for chebureks and fried chicken. We saved ourselves with porridge, eggs, herbs and cheese. 4. The contingent is almost all Russians. Lots of kids. Everyone is calm, quiet, polite. There are no drunken screams at night. But in the end, a couple of families with children arrived from the Square....and it began ... the children's hubbub under the windows woke up at 6 in the morning. 5. The beach. For every taste. If you want by the sea, you want by the pools. There are places. There are plenty of broken sun beds. There are queues for drinks. People drink mostly gin and soda. I tried it- it's not mine. The water is better. 6. The sea and the sun of course Wow!!! I put a star for them. And everything else smacks of such an old sovdepov holiday home.... Yes! Guys! For all the time I saw only 2-3 single pretty women in this "hotel"… Well, it doesn't pull them here for some reason). Mosquitoes, probably..Getting in the way? I'm definitely not going to come here anymore and I'm not dragging my family. For such money, I will have a great rest in Russia!
