We stayed at the hotel from September 1st to 8th. It's a pretty nice hotel. All the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The fact that there are no children in the hotel is also a plus. The rooms are nice and clean. Thanks to Mohamed for cleaning and making incredible animals out of towels. A lot of bottled water was left in the room. There is soap and shower gel in the bathroom (take shampoos with you)
The beach is good. It takes 2 minutes to walk. The bar is open. The water is incredibly turquoise in color. Very transparent. Take a good mask with you. And sea slippers, so that the legs would not hurt. There are surgeons in the sea who are big like that. black, yellow and striped fish are also present. You can also see an igloo fish from the pontoon, and we saw a couple more interesting fish. In general, there is something to see. There is also music playing on the beach, and volleyball matches are held.
The food is not all delicious, but the meat they do well. Every evening there is some kind of interactive from the hotel. Dancing, cocktail parties, etc.
One of the disadvantages is that at the end of the rest they thought of telling the manager that they did not have enough music and that in the evenings in the bar and in the afternoon in the pool it was rotten and because of the slow music everyone falls asleep. But strangely enough, they listened and really turned on some good fun music the next day.
- and the main horror is hookahs. If someone is going to Egypt, take callaud and coconut coals with you. Poor people still make hookahs on foil and on some charcoal. They naturally burn after a second. And it's not just in this hotel. Such a story is everywhere.
The Bedouins in the desert made the best hookah for us. Tobacco is respectively al faker for everyone.
Previously, I read in reviews that they pour small glasses in bars and are greedy. Nothing like that.
The bartenders are very cool. They make good big cocktails. Especially the bartender Salah.
Of course, there are better and more comfortable hotels than this one, but for an average hotel this is a great option. Keep in mind that most of the tourists are not staying at the hotel all the time. Because you will spend a lot of time on excursions anyway. Therefore, if it makes sense to overpay for a luxury hotel, if you are not going to be there all the time. Therefore, I think this is a good option.
We stayed at the hotel from 8.01.25 to 14.01.25. We are delighted. The employees are all kind-hearted, they always help, prompt, and smile. Russians are treated super simply. Bartenders are generally awesome guys. The food was varied, delicious, and full. Delicious cocktails and bottled beer are also served normally. Lots of bars: at every basik, in the lobby, and on the beach. 1 heated swimming pool, water park is available. The room was cool, convenient location, renovation, no extra charges. The sea is 5-7 minutes on foot, or by shuttle 2min. During the day, groovy music is played by the pool and on the beach, and in the evening there are show programs and a disco. Not boring at all. A lot of Russians are vacationing. There were no problems with the language, the staff understands Russian perfectly. Cleaning every day. Well, if you're picky, then you're not here, after all, this is a 4-star hotel. There is a pharmacy and a shop nearby in 5 minutes. There is no wind on Bessein, it is warm in winter, and it is windy at sea, but you can swim if you take a sunbed close to the shops, then there is complete calm without wind. Tips are not asked for or lured away. We are very pleased that we chose this hotel. Thank you for the positive emotions and relaxation!
We came to relax with our family for 9 days, we are glad that we chose this hotel. I would like to note right away that the territory is very large, there is a lot of vegetation.
The beach is within walking distance from the hotel, but if desired, you can take a bus. The beach itself is spacious and well equipped.
The rooms in the hotel are nice, clean, bright and with good views. The room itself has everything you need for living: a kettle, a refrigerator, a TV, air conditioning, a hairdryer, a safe, etc. (Safe is free)
The service is good, the staff is friendly. Special thanks to the animators! They are interested in making your vacation as diverse as possible, they hold a lot of events and at the same time do not forget to give everyone a little time, they are always interested in whether everything suits you and if you suddenly need help, they are always happy to help.
The food is also very tasty, a wide variety of dishes, there is always an assortment of fruits. There are also many bars on the territory, in which very responsive bartenders who will be happy to make you cocktails.
Wi-Fi is free on site, it works perfectly throughout the territory, everything works in the room too.
9 nights. We had a rest from 22.01 to 31.01. We chose based on reviews. The hotel is cool. The food is delicious, very much, there is a lot of meat cooked in different ways, very tasty, there is fish, there is something from seafood a little, vegetables cooked in different variations, just fire. Also, respect for soups, every day is different and cool, today we had our beetroot soup on beef. And so on. Alcohol is of course so-so, but you can drink, beer and wine are normal)). Of all the Ala-Maps, Italian is just 🔥🔥The rest are clean and beautiful) The beach is clean, there are enough sun loungers, the entrance is sandy, you don't need corals if you're really very sensitive) Seafood can be purchased on the beach, the price tag is moderate and delicious. As for animation, it's good, both daytime and evening. Entertainment and evening performances for every taste👍)There's no time to be bored👍cute animators, especially a young girl Masha, so sociable and interesting in her 20s. Well done guys. We definitely recommend the hotel. Andrey and Natalia, January 2025. P.S. and also, our new friends from Belarus, Vladimir and Lena, join the review and opinion
We have been staying at this hotel since February 11th. Great hotel, great food, friendly staff! There is a heated swimming pool, shows and activities are held! Great guys are animators! Lera and Adelia are very helpful! Delicious cocktails are made by the bartender Salah! Daily room cleaning. You can walk to the beach, or you can take a shuttle. The entrance to the sea is sandy. My husband and I really like to relax here! We'll come back again.
Nice hotel.
It took a long time to choose a place to stay for the New Year holidays, we chose this hotel and did not regret it.
The weather is good, a small plaza is within walking distance from the hotel. There are reefs with fish - there are a lot of fish and it's interesting to swim.
The food at the hotel is varied, and there is a snack bar between meals.
In the evening, there are animators who arrange various activities and do not let you get bored. In the morning, there is exercise on the beach for everyone, dancing in the afternoon, karaoke or contests in the evening. At the same time, the activities are modern and not stressful.
I was vacationing with my daughter at this hotel, we did not regret that we chose this hotel. Everything exceeded our expectations. The territory itself is large, there is a lot of greenery, and New Year decorations are located throughout the hotel. And I would like to note the staff at this hotel, they are wonderful, quick response to the problem, our safe did not work, they came almost immediately and helped with everything. The animation at the hotel is also amazing, they are interested in making your vacation go great, so they invite you to all the activities presented at the hotel and inform you about upcoming events. You can continue to talk about this hotel, but it's better to come and see it all with your own eyes!
Great hotel, we came for 10 days with friends. I have been to Egypt and Sharma before, so there is something to compare this hotel with. I would especially like to mention the animation team. The guys try very hard and come up with various activities for vacationers. I managed to go to morning exercises-stretching, zumba, dancing on the beach. Other activities included Egyptian Day, a foam pool party, and a colorful party. Really cool, thanks guys!
In the part of the hotel I would like to mention: the water park, very tasty and varied food and helpful staff. Thanks!
We stayed at the hotel from 01/14/2025 to 01/24/2025, had a rest with the whole family. I really liked the hotel. It's just a huge territory- well-groomed, everything is in flowers and just perfect condition, which we haven't bypassed in 11 days) the food is very tasty, they cook like at home, with a soul. Delicious pasta, delicious beef, delicious pies and olives (oh, my love) - the a la carte restaurant has awesome pizza
What I want to say separately about animation!!! This is the first time I've met such a bombastic animation team- hi guys, every day these lighters come up with all kinds of entertainment so that you can't even think about getting bored. Foam parties, cocktail parties, fruit parties, fire shows, etc., you can't list everything.
The only negative was that the wind was blowing, and sometimes the sea was closed for swimming, it was cool. Well, I didn't focus on the furniture in the rooms either - I've seen the sights. But in general, a lot of positive emotions, a great hotel👍 I want to go there again😅
A great hotel with a large territory. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. Cleaning of the territory every day. The rooms are cleaned every day. I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Animators entertain both on the beach in the morning and in the evening, there are always some entertainment programs. Well, the strong alcohol there is all with the taste of moonshine, except beer and wine. Wine is served only for lunch. We are very satisfied with our stay at this hotel
Hello. We rested at the Ivy Cerene Shsrm Resort 4" hotel in October. Everything is very cool! The impressions of the holiday are not forgotten. The sea is fabulous. The hotel staff is wonderful, helpful, friendly. The food is delicious and varied. The territory is well maintained. Another plus is there are no children.
Huge greetings to the bartender Salah. Salah - you're a handsome man!!! I recommend the hotel very much.
Good location, near the airport, it doesn't take long to get there,the sea is a five-minute walk away, a huge selection of dishes,4 restaurants,two swimming pools on site, polite staff, they speak Russian poorly but there were no problems with communication, the rooms were cleaned perfectly,the air conditioning in the room worked flawlessly,a lot of excursions, there was the opportunity to leave the hotel on your own for walks, you could call a taxi from the reception, the sea is beautiful, warm, the fauna is diverse, fly from Moscow for 6 hours, rested perfectly!!!
The bartender Said is the best, makes very tasty cocktails, goes to meet all customers, sociable and kind, the hotel is very good close to the sea, the atmosphere is good, the food is very tasty.

The rest took place from December 10th to December 24th, 2024 . Pros : excellent pools and bars, cleaning every day, fish and meat for lunch and dinner, hotel 13 plus, many Italians (especially from Naples), massage parlor, pleasant lobby ( open 0 : 00). Cons: terrible beach ( like a herring in a barrel), there is no normal darts , billiards , animation , gym. The food is monotonous every day, especially for breakfast. The quality of the drinks is below average . The hotel is very cozy. A solid four . I'll be back again.
The hotel is really good for 4+, the service is good, friendly, everything is in shape and clean, the napkins, the appliances, the tablecloth are perfect! High-quality drinks (not diluted as in some) wi-fi is good!!! The food is delicious, there is a bus to the sea, although it is 400 meters away, the beach is clean, the entrance is gradual and from the pontoon, the only negative is the dead coral, not bright, there are fish of course. Good active animators, interesting programs! Pleasant impressions and memories!
Very nice hotel! Large and beautiful territory, lots of swimming pools.A restaurant, several bars. The food is delicious , not varied , but you can always eat delicious. Very good animation, in the evenings they entertain in two hotels. The staff is excellent, very polite and courteous, always smiling. The rooms are nice and spacious. It's a 5-minute walk to the beach, very nice, lots of sun loungers, a bar with drinks), animation in the morning, although there is a dead reef on it, but if you walk 10 minutes along the beach, then the beauty is indescribable underwater!! In general, I will not write the cons! It's always good to relax if you don't get hung up on the cons, then rest is just fire!
We have just returned, the hotel is excellent, all conditions are created for recreation.The little things do not bother (and where are they not?). Special thanks to the animators Akhmedushka and the girls Olenka and Arisha.Well done, always fun, every day something new from entertainment and cocktail party and foam, a choice of entertainment for every taste.I was very pleased with the concept of the hotel-13+.There is a separate "children's" hotel nearby.
The hotel grounds, room cleaning, and food are all five plus points. The staff is very friendly, the animators are virtuosos of their craft, fun, funny, always something new, they try to involve every guest in the events. Vlad's animator will tell you everything, always invite you to events. We will definitely come back here. And there's a birthday cake in the room, it's very cute. 😊
We had a rest from 01.09.24 to 09.10.24. Everything was very pleasant, the service was good, the hotel staff were very friendly and polite. The food is varied. The hotel hosts entertainment events every day, and animators communicate with the guests of the hotel and offer entertainment throughout the day and until the evening. They are very funny and sociable guys. I liked everything.
We came to this hotel for the first time, as a family. Large territory, beautiful clean beach. Good and rich cuisine, clean rooms. Excellent service, friendly staff. The New Year's program was very intense - the animation exceeded all my expectations.
Every day, I was happy to spend time having fun.
Overall, the hotel is not bad, the reception design is very impressive. The staff is very friendly and helpful! You will definitely not be left without attention there! I would like to mention separately, Alina, is very attentive, empathetic, always helps, solves any of your questions, is always very friendly and helpful! Upon arrival, they help to bring a suitcase to the room, and then they wait for a tip, it's not very pleasant, they are tired from the road, they look for tips again, they say Money, they ask for at least chocolate (preferably 2, also for a child), because no one will help when leaving the room))
the room is clean, the cleaning staff Well done, they really don't mind tips or chocolates, they always say hello and wish you a good day. the disadvantage is that the bed is not fused, but simply connected 2 beds and all, which are constantly moving apart. You ask for a room with a single bed, they say that there are no such rooms, very strange of course. You definitely won't get a bathrobe or slippers if you're there for the first time, they only give out to regular guests.
The food is good for the first 5 days, then it gets boring to eat the same thing. (
Drinks and alcohol are good enough, bottled beer, not diluted, of course you can drink whiskey only with Cola.
There is practically no seafood, few fruits (
The animation is interesting, the animators are great, they do their job 100%, the young girls are nimble.
Overall, I really liked Everything!
But the Pegasus guide ruined everything, Mohammed (Samir), I advise you not to take guided tours from him, not even to go to these meetings, to mess up. We are very sorry! firstly, it is very expensive, and secondly, he promises you such a promise that when you arrive, you will simply be blown away by the expectation/ reality. He doesn't know his job at all, he promises mountains of gold, not business....... He doesn't appreciate someone else's time, selfishness, the main thing is to take the money and that's it! He sold us a tour, and I warned him that I was in a position where they wouldn't let us in, because we absolutely couldn't
To be pregnant on this tour. Fortunately, the money was returned, but the most unpleasant thing was that Mohamed Samir returned the money, but unfortunately it was fake, we found out about it at the bank when we went to exchange it for pounds. It would be fine if it was confused with, but we had only one single $50 bill and nothing else. For a minute it was $50, but for Egypt it's a lot of money. My advice is not to take guided tours, it's better to take them via telegram or Instagram, insurance will also be valid! It's just that Mohamed Samir says they have the safest tours.……
That was the only big negative from this vacation! It is a pity that the guides spoil the reputation of the hotel so much!
We had a rest together from the end of January to the beginning of February. I'll start with the pros. The rooms are clean enough, comfortable enough, everything works, there is hot water in the shower, there is a safe, good beds. The view from the room (pool) is very good. Upon check-in, they offered to upgrade the room class from a garden view to a pool view for $20. The food was acceptable, no frills, but we weren't hungry. Close to the beach, there is a frequent bus service. The warm pool is really warm!! 27 degrees. The territory is clean, well-groomed, lots of flowers. There is no wind or insects on site. There is not a very strong wind on the beach. Let's move on to the cons, and there are quite a few of them. The animators practically do not interact with the guests, they came to us for the first time on the 5th day of rest. There are very few entertainment programs, they know 3 dances and they dance them every day. The pool was dirty and warm, and it was cleaned 2 times in 10 days. The staff is not friendly, except for the staff of the canteen and a la carte restaurants. The rooms are cleaned daily, but water and toilet paper are rarely provided. The coral is dead, but there is a smooth approach, and a pantone approach. There are fish. We went swimming far to the right along the beach. The guide from biblioglobus is a rare boor. He aggressively imposes his excursions, at inflated prices, and intimidates when refused. We would not like to return, but the hotel is normal for its price.
I rested there from 09/25/24-10/06/24! I really liked everything! Excellent service, delicious food, 5-7 minutes walk to the sea, well, you can drive up! The room is cleaned every day! The animators are great too, great guys! I want to say a special thank you to the photographer Jocky for the awesome photo shoot, he sent photos even after I flew to Minsk! In general, the hotel is on top, I advise everyone, I did not regret my choice!!! ♥
Great hotel, we stayed here with our family for the first time, just delighted! The service is wonderful, the staff is so friendly, many people speak Russian, it's very convenient. The food in the restaurant is very tasty and varied.
There are iterative shows every evening, lots of activities every day.
We will be happy to return to the hotel for a longer stay. I definitely recommend it to everyone!
Good day everyone! I had my first vacation in Egypt at the Ivi Cirene Sharm Resort.
We had a lot of fun! ❤️The staff is helpful, the staff in the kitchen are all friendly, smiling, very nice)))) If you are thinking of going or not going to this hotel, definitely go, you will not regret it!!!!!The choice of food is huge, you will not stay hungry, and in general it's not about food, but about rest in general😎
The only negative is that the pool closes at 18:00 and opens at 9:00.
I would like to ask the administration and the owner of the hotel to close the pool at 20:00 and open it at 6 am. When the sun goes down, you want to splash in the water again☺️
Many thanks to the photographer Mustafashka! great photos, high-quality! A true professional in his field!!! Thanks! 🤗
I do not recommend a walk in Soho! Nothing to worry about and everything is expensive! I advise you to take a yacht ride and go to Nefertiti!
Regarding pharmacies, look for state pharmacies, the prices are adequate, the rest are being fooled.
We arrived with our friends, not really expecting anything special. But the hotel was amazed by the variety of activities, parties and contests are held every day. The animators are great fellows, you will not be left without attention, they attract you to animation, communicate and prompt you on any issue. The hotel is nice, the territory is large, the beach is within walking distance. In general, we set a solid 5. Continue in the same spirit.
We are vacationing in Egypt for the first time. The hotel is spacious, cool, and has plenty of space. There are animations and parties every day. There is a place to smoke hookah, which is also a plus. The sea is close, there is a private beach. I recommend the hotel.
But it's cold and windy in February, not the best month to relax.
The hotel is very cozy and clean. Colorful, well-maintained territory. The rooms are clean, daily cleaning. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Many people speak Russian, which made me happy. Special thanks to the animators. Friendly and very active guys. They lit up with their energy and positivity .
So, IVY CYRENE 4* 17.03-26.03.2024
The best hotel I've ever stayed in.
Ask why?
Very friendly atmosphere, smiling staff, great music, quality food, good events.
So, in order.
1️⃣A lovely friendly and positive hotel.
We have been to Egypt many times in different hotels. But to be so welcome? Just because you came to this hotel, this is the first time.
2️⃣Music 5+
The hotel is out of politics, it's very cool.
Wonderful music is playing in the background of the hotel. Calm, unobtrusive.
Different music is playing on the beach and at discos. And Italian, and Russian, and French, and Ukrainian, and Polish, and English. This is very wise.
3️⃣Meals. 5+.
High quality and delicious. Delicious soups, vegetables, fruits (melon, dates, oranges, tangerines, guava), cheese, cottage cheese, sausage, yoghurts, pastries, sweets, pies, beef or lamb, chicken, fish, rice, pasta, couscous, potatoes, string beans and tomatoes. Thursday is a fish day for a couple of types of fish, crabs.
4️⃣Alcohol, just like everywhere else.
Everyone praises the beer.
5️⃣There is music on the beach in different languages, there are always empty seats, friendly animators, sorbet ice cream, delicious. Gradual approach for children and from the pontoon - for adults.
6️⃣We walked to the beach in 10 minutes. I would like to mention the delivery driver, who every time offered bus services, waved his hand, greeted. It was very pleasant to communicate.
7️⃣I liked the tour from Pegas (guide Irina). She told me interesting things, showed me a lot. Everything is very clear, professional and on time. I recommend. We were all "guys" with her, it was very nice.
8️⃣Beautiful animation 5+. They're always coming up with something. Exercise, disco, belly dancing, foam party.
9️⃣The internet is good throughout the hotel. Without a password.
🔟Good water pressure, hot and cold water. Always.
Minuses. There is, but not much)))
Poor organization of the cleaning service. We stopped by - there were no towels at all.
Although they left tips. They constantly forgot to put towels for their face or feet.
That is, there was never a set for two.
The bed linen (and sheets, and pillowcases, and duvet covers) are all in pellets. Sleeping on it is very unpleasant (photo attached).
They cleaned very sloppily.
I fully recommend this hotel. We will definitely come back here.
The review is dedicated to the animators, thank you for the daily storm of positive emotions, everything is super 😊
Young, energetic, thank you very much!
It takes 50, 20 dollars at the reception to check in as soon as possible, although the floor of the hotel is empty! And they don't check in until 14:00, as if such a system, but they demand money at every step and it's outside the system... it pisses me off, I paid and what should I pay at every step more…
A great place to relax! I recommend this hotel, you can relax, buy something. The loud music on the beach is a little annoying and the beach itself is not particularly interesting: there is no reef, there are a lot of fish. But if you go to the right of the beach, there are magnificent reefs. Good food, 4 Ala carte restaurants, animation at a height. The rooms are comfortable. You can walk to the beach, you can take a shuttle. The staff is friendly. The territory is well maintained. The pools are clean. Great vacation.
The hotel is good, adjusted for Egypt, there is NO coral reef! What is called a reef is just piles of rocks and a few fish. The best kitchen, there is always something to choose and does not end. Cocktails and alcohol are rubbish everywhere. Wine is a mutter. The staff is friendly, the animation is great, the pools are great. BEER, infections, is not poured into your glass. Pour into a plastic 50gram!!!! Guys, your beach bar is going to ruin your hotel!!!!!
We rested from 25.10 to 5.11. Everything is fine. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, there are a lot of goodies, the territory is clean and beautiful. There are no words for the sea, there is nothing to compare the Red Sea with.
It's a lovely hotel. Wonderful room stock. Helpful and attentive staff. Beautiful grounds, warm pool, lots of animation. A buffet for every taste. I want to come back here.
Excellent hotel, excellent service, many of the staff understand Russian, which is very pleasant. The hotel is suitable for lovers of both a relaxing holiday and for those who like to have fun! I definitely recommend this place to visit!
Great hotel, we had a rest at the beginning of September 2024, we liked everything, the food, the animation. Thanks a lot to everyone, especially the bartender Salah - a pleasant, responsive, kind man, and how he prepares drinks, it's just a masterpiece. A professional in his field.
We were at the hotel in August 2024. This is not the first time in Egypt and we have seen many hotels. But this hotel surprised with the education of the staff. Everyone smiles and tries to help whenever possible. The animators are great guys. The bartenders are great. Especially the bartender Salah. Always with a smile and a positive attitude despite the heat and a large number of tourists. And making cocktails is just a sight from the bottom of my heart. The food is perfect for every taste. In general, I liked everything. Most likely we will come for the new year.
My first time in this hotel. I really liked the staff and the animators. The guys are all friendly, smiling, and humorous. They do not let you get bored, both on the beach and in the evening. I want to highlight the bartender in Nadir's lobby bar. As well as an animator, Vlad, Nastya, Lera, Masha, Moody and Bakar. Thank you for a wonderful stay
We had a rest with my husband at the hotel in May 2024. We were satisfied!!! A very good 4* for Egypt. The food is good, there is not much variety, but we were always well-fed. The animators are cool. We met a girl animator from Egypt, Aya is a super kind and responsive girl.
The reef is cool, all the bartenders and staff are friendly. Many were unhappy with the service, but we treated everyone well and they treated us too. They saw us from afar and brought our favorite drinks))) In short, we were satisfied
I will try to be as compact as possible:
Cons:
- there is no coral reef. There's nothing to look at in a mask underwater.
- the beach is small, there are not enough sunbeds. I had to ask the staff for a dollar to take out more sunbeds.
- the pool is open only at 10:30
- beer is poured 0.1 at bars. They do not pour it into their glasses. Moreover, girls and foreigners are poured at 0.3 (I have repeatedly noticed. Maybe I should have tipped the bartender too).
- there are no snacks at the bars.
- the food in the dining room is very monotonous, there are only 8 gastronomies: 2 types of side dish, fish, beef, chicken, baked vegetables. On the 3rd day, it gets boring. On the 7th day, nothing physically fits.
- 3 Ala carte restaurants are one name. In fact, it's the same as in the dining room, but with waiters and a different serving.
- there is a construction site in the neighborhood. Jackhammers start working at 8 a.m.
- the rooms are simple, dirty. The legs are constantly rough because of the dust. Soap accessories are not provided. The safe is not bolted down.
- bars are open until 17:00 (in fact, they start cleaning at 16:30 and do not pour), and dinner is only at 19:00.
- outside the hotel, there is only a small supermarket and a pharmacy within walking distance. There is nothing else.
Of the advantages:
Sea, excursions, not far from the airport. The food is monotonous, but at least it doesn't end.
There are evening exploration on a single program near the pool.
If you have the time and opportunity to look for another hotel, it is definitely better to do it.
I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Great hotel. I liked everything. And the room and the beach and the staff. The food is always fresh and delicious, although the breakfasts are monotonous, but we did not go hungry. Will I come here again? If there is a good price offer, then of course,yes,,
Very pleasant staff, cool animators, constant animation, entertainment rooms. The only negative is the wind in February, the sea is cool. The rest is 5 points. Well done,
The three of us had a rest with our girlfriends at this hotel on January 15-24, 2025.
I liked it very much!
The hotel is 4*, but in fact a solid 4+.
We settled in without any problems: my companions are picky, they showed us 4 rooms, they offered to pay extra for one of them, but we chose the option without extra charges, but the one that satisfied our needs. The windows overlooked the cold pool, there weren't many people there, so it was quiet.
At the reception: the lobby has new furniture in discreet colors, pleasing to the eye. The interior is laconic but neat. Without monograms, we like it.
We checked in, the room has three beds, a bathtub! Shower, toilet, hair dryer, beautiful terrace.
The water pressure is excellent, there was always water and there were no problems with hot water.
Cleaning every day! We had our bed linen and towels changed, for which we thank the rumservice very much! I read in the reviews that some employee magically twirls towels there: we saw it personally! Every day we left 1 dollar, and every day he sculpted something new out of towels for us: a turtle, a swan, a ship, a flower, a dog, and so on.
The sea is 500m away, there is a bus, but we walked. The beach is equipped with everything you need: toilet, bar, shower, changing rooms, umbrellas and deck chairs in abundance.
Food and drinks: good assortment. There is a grill for dinner. Everything is fresh and delicious. Many thanks to Chef Mohammed. My respect.
And the most important thing that I really enjoyed at the hotel is the animation! I have never seen such an abundance, variety and level of entertainment anywhere else!
The animation team is multicultural: girls from Russia, Egyptians and Italians! They work well for you every day from dawn to late at night.
In addition to classic activities: exercise, yoga, Darts, bocce, water aerobics, every day, or even 2 times a day, parties: oriental, African, foam. The level is amazing! The guys put up decorations according to the theme, change into appropriate costumes themselves, dress up those who wish.
And everyone is dancing in unison. Parties are held both on the beach and by the pool.
Every evening there is a show: Miss and Mr. Hotel, a dance program.
There is a hookah bar. The hookah is decent. The cost for the Russian Federation is ridiculous: $ 5.
I want to say a special thank you to the animators Anastasia, Maria, the Italian girls and the Egyptian, who also runs the fair show once a week! That's a good fellow!
We really enjoyed it! We are ready to come again!
Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay!
Prosperity 🙏
Our stay at the Ivy Cyrene Sharm Resort 4* hotel from September 17 to 27, 2024 left mostly pleasant impressions, although it was not without some nuances.
We arrived at the hotel late at night, around three o'clock. After registration, we were directed to a restaurant where snacks were left for us. The food was as follows: bun, butter, cheese and sausage, but the sausage tasted like paper, and all the sausages and sausages in the hotel turned out to be tasteless, so we no longer ate them throughout the rest.
We were immediately given a nice room without extra charge, on the ground floor with a private balcony and a view of the pool. We often spent evenings on the balcony, drinking tea with desserts brought from dinner (most often it was baklava and cookies in honey). The room as a whole was clean and cozy, although the bathroom was a little disappointing: the tiles were old, and it was clearly not always possible to clean them well. However, it didn't create much discomfort. The bed was comfortable, with a good hard mattress. The bed linen was changed twice in 10 days, but it always smelled a little musty, as if it had been poorly dried. However, the cleaning was generally excellent — every day, everything was put in its place, beautiful towel figurines such as swans and elephants were made. It was very gratifying.
Another point that slightly overshadowed the first hours of rest was the meeting with the guide. We were invited to a meeting on the first day, which lasted for an hour. It turned out to be an advertising presentation of excursions, and there was practically zero useful information. As a result, we missed breakfast, which was very frustrating, especially after the late arrival.
However, the food at the hotel was generally good, although not very varied. The beef was deliciously soft one day and very tough the next. But you could always find something delicious. By the end of the vacation, we realized that we would no longer want to eat beef in the near future, since almost all meat dishes were made from it. Chicken was also offered, but it seemed quite tasteless to us.
I really liked the territory of the hotel: well-groomed, green, although small. The white sand beach is only a 5-6 minute walk away, and the sea was clean and transparent. The pools were also always clean, and we enjoyed spending time both by the pools and on the beach.
Now about the most unpleasant incident that occurred on the last night before the flight. At about three o'clock in the morning, loud screams and noise began in the next room. The men were clearly drunk and arguing hotly, and soon their showdown moved to the hallway right in front of our door. One of them started banging furiously on our door with his fists, maybe he wanted us to come out and help him in some way, maybe in a fight - we still didn't understand what he needed. He was literally banging on our door, shouting something in Arabic. It was really scary because we didn't know these people, had never seen them, and had nothing to do with them. The fear was intensified by the fact that we did not understand what they were saying, and their behavior was clearly aggressive.
We immediately called the reception in the hope of help, but we were faced with the fact that it turned out to be extremely difficult to explain the situation — we were misunderstood. We called again 20 minutes later, and as a result, the employee came to us only 40 minutes after the first call. However, instead of figuring out the situation, he thought we were calling about the water, and brought bottles of water. After my husband explained through an interpreter that there was a fight going on outside the door and one of the men was trying to break into our room, an employee knocked on the neighbors' door. However, instead of somehow ending the conflict, the noisy neighbors went out into the corridor and started shouting loudly again, now at the reception staff. Instead of solving the problem and protecting us, he just repeated "sorry", apologizing to those who were banging on our door. This caused us complete confusion — why do they apologize to those who violate the order and frighten other guests?
The situation was never resolved properly, and the last hours of our vacation turned into one continuous anxiety. They didn't help us at all, and the problem remained unresolved. We would like the hotel management to reconsider their attitude to such incidents and develop a strategy for their effective resolution. It is important that the hotel can guarantee the safety of its guests and provide timely and effective assistance in such situations, especially when it comes to drunk people who interfere with the rest of others.
Despite this incident, the overall stay was pleasant. My husband and I were together and enjoyed the sun, good weather, constantly swimming and walking. The city itself turned out to be interesting and beautiful. We visited the waterfall and bought everything we needed at Mango Market, and also chose gifts for our relatives. I described some problematic points, but the overall impression and every day of our vacation were good. We had a great rest from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoyed nature and a calm atmosphere. At the hotel, the Internet was only in the room, and its speed turned out to be a little weak — the video was difficult to watch. However, this turned out to be a plus for us, as we wanted to take a break from messages, calls and the flow of information. Transportation to the city was also available: once we managed to take a taxi for $ 4, and sometimes for $ 7, which also did not cause much inconvenience. In general, the rest was a success, and we were satisfied!
Thank you for a wonderful vacation in Egypt. We recommend the hotel, matching the price and quality. Thank you for the good mood of the animation team. The food is very tasty, my 2 meters of height were happy.
We had a rest at the end of September 2024. I liked everything very much, the hotel is on fire. The food is at the highest level. Bars on site and on the beach. Entertainment programs every evening. In general, we recommend
We are currently vacationing at this hotel, the food is good,there is a large selection, the only drawback in the diet is that they give little fruit, we arrived at the hotel early in the morning-and check-in from 14-00, we started hinting at money to solve the check-in earlier!Alcohol is poured into small 100ml glasses, whether it's beer or whiskey and coke)))I'll also tell you the disgusting attitude of those who work at the reception.:My wife got sick, I asked if there was a thermometer-Their employee allegedly pretended to be looking for it, then 10 seconds later he just disappeared and that's it, we went to the pharmacy ourselves and bought it!Also, due to the fact that my wife got sick and lay in the room all day and it was hard for her to go down to the dining room, I turned to the receptionist and asked for the opportunity to take food with me to the room -I was also refused that it was allegedly forbidden to take out food and that it didn't matter to them that someone was sick!!!I will say that at first everything was fine with me, but then the disadvantages began to appear, with regard to the staff-More or less guys work in the dining room, the cleaner who cleaned the room did his job well too!!!Rating 3.5 out of 5!!!!And now the most important thing:Never take guided tours from hotel guides-in our case, this is Pegasus-it's very expensive, not interesting, and the cherry on the cake-A photographer on safari charged 50@ for two, and eventually sent photos of everyone, both private and unprocessed, when you ride the bus and your guide says there will be an important meeting with your guide at the hotel, the whole meeting is a pairing of their excursions😂
