Island View or Royal Grand Sharm?
Good afternoon. Perhaps there was such a question on the resource, but I don’t find it. At the end of April, the only vacation in the year, I would like to go to the sea, so we chose Egypt. A family with two children 13 and 7 years old, everyone swims well, we want to see the wealth of the Red Sea in Sharm. Two hotels Royal Grand Sharm and Island View offer our budget. They also offered Nubian Village, but I want a 100 percent calm sea. Never been to Egypt. According to reviews in both hotels, the number of rooms is tired, there are nuances that spoil the vacation for impressionable people, I read both here and on tophotels. Please advise, thank you very much.

Island View, but at the end of April you can safely take a Nubian

Both hotels are not very good, but of these two I would recommend Island, it has the best sea and I don’t remember bedbugs in the rooms ...;), well, there were definitely no rotten boiled eggs for breakfast in the island!

I would not recommend Nubian because of the strong current in Nabq!

There is a strong current in Nabka all year round, the exceptions are rare days when there can be a complete calm on the sea for a week in a row, a couple of times I fell on such a sea - but how lucky!

Island will be better, it is next to Soho Square, there will be where to go for a walk. It also has a gentle entry into the sea.

And in Island View, I am terribly embarrassed by the reviews of the killed rooms, otherwise everything seems to be fine in the reviews of compatriots. My travel agent doesn't recommend it because of the rooms.

I was in the Island in October 2015. The rooms are a bit old, but you are going to admire the beauties of the Red Sea, and not wallow in the rooms. The bay is excellent, you can swim freely on the territory of neighboring beaches. Entry into the sea - a short pontoon. There was no wind, but in Nibk it blows all the time. Exit to Soho Square, in the evening it will not be boring. The food was quite decent. If I ever decide to go back to Egypt, I will try to go only to this bay.

Well, the rooms are not so dead that they could be compared with a tattered communal apartment))) in terms of sea and food, Island is objectively better! By the way, the rooms in the Royal Grande are also so-so (((.

I looked, I was offered 2 + 2 accommodation in the Island for a family of 4 people, in a standard room, and according to the description there are 2 separate beds and an extra one, as it would not be enough for us) The room is higher than the category, a different price tag, we catch May two days and it turns out not budget

Two beds are not very small beds;) - my wife and I slept on such a bed without much straining - the question, of course, is in the dimensions of the spouses;))) in Yegi, four of us can sleep on standard double beds))).

And you watch the videos-reviews on youtube of these two hotels and choose where you can imagine yourself more comfortably :). These are hotels of the same level. I liked the Island better (and the bay there is beautiful)!

Read my story about the rest in the Royal in February 16. There is a photo album in my account. I won’t write about nonsense with bedbugs
The hotel is closed from the winds, there is a children's pool and a playground. Huge rooms and verandas, a very good coral reef, a lot of greenery.

Both hotels are delicious. But if you choose from 2 evils, then ...
probably Island View.
Since both hotels are the same in terms of rooms, territory, reef and food, but at least you can go out to Soho Island, but eat normally.

I am also for Island View, we rested in May 2016. Before that, we were in Sunrise Diamond Beach (Royal Grand Sharm's neighbor) - the reef in the Island is definitely better. Yes, the furniture in the rooms is not new, and repairs would not hurt. We lived in the Junior suite category, everything suited us. Look at Sunrise Diamond Beach if it suits the price, we really were before the crisis, the hotel seemed more modern than Island View.
