We were in this hotel in the first week of August 2021. Now it is called FUN&SUN SMART Seti Sharm 4* and has been working in this capacity for the first year.
It’s worth saying right away - if you are spoiled for the luxury of Rixos or Turkish ultra-all-inclusive, then this hotel is not for you. Quite modest, but overall nice.
But first things first. We arrived in the evening and were seated immediately. The hotel is a series of 1-2 storey buildings near the sea, on the second floor there are balconies, on the first floor there are terraces with an individual entrance, a clothes dryer, armchairs and a table. The rooms have a bathroom with a shower-toilet, air conditioning, a safe and a mini-bar with mineral water (free of charge). There is a TV with Russian and Ukrainian TV channels. The territory is compact, but not cramped, clean and well-groomed. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful.
The beach is sandy, with a gentle entrance, without stones (convenient for families with children), kept clean.
On the beach - fungus-canopies with trestle beds and mattresses (free of charge), there was no need to occupy them - there was enough for everyone. A set of beach towels is included in the room equipment. On the beach - a bar with drinks, a snack bar with food (pizza, hamburgers, pasta), between the beach and the buildings - a swimming pool with a section for kids and three water slides of varying difficulty. The beach itself is located in a bay, at some distance from the coast at a depth there is a small rock with corals, a colony of colorful fish and sea urchins in crevices. If you have a mask and fins, it is quite interesting to swim and see.
The hotel is located near the old town, it is worth crossing the road, and you are in city blocks with many shops, shops, stalls and rather annoying sellers. All this is dominated by a majestic mosque, from where the call of the muezzin to prayer is regularly heard.
The Internet is available almost throughout the hotel, only when registering you need to get an access password.
As for the food, you definitely won’t leave hungry, but we must remember that this is a 4 * hotel, and quite budgetary. For breakfast - salads, dates, a variety of local cheeses, there are dairy dishes, Egyptian dishes, sausages with vegetables, scrambled eggs are fried on the spot (if you specifically ask, they can add tomatoes, mushrooms or sausages or make fried eggs). Quite a lot of pastries, there is tea and coffee. Drinks - water and juices from a concentrate. Tables - without tablecloths (fight against Covid), cutlery - individually packed, salt and pepper - in disposable bags. For tea and coffee - disposable paper cups, for drinks - disposable plastic.
Dinner is more varied - there are also first courses, often there is a grill that is fried nearby on the street (chicken and fish or beef liver), fruits - dates, watermelon and melon.
If you can agree with the fact that everything is modest enough, then you can’t pick up another term for drinks, how miserable. The fact that they are only locally produced is not a problem (this is agreed in advance), but with an assortment ...There are completely no drinks for ladies (even local ones) - cream liqueurs, analogues of martini or campari. Only strong ones - vodka, gin, whiskey, brandy, tequila (everything is warm), which can only be drunk in the form of cocktails. The beach bar does not even have that cheap wine that is served at lunch and dinner. True, there is beer, pretty good.
Another drawback is that it is very convenient to go directly from the beach to the restaurant for lunch, but there are no changing cabins on the beach from the word "absolutely". So I had to either use a towel for changing clothes, or go for lunch in a wet one. The administration and the owner of the hotel were told about this shortcoming, I hope that they will fix it.
Animation is available, the animators are actively involved in games on the beach, but in the evening it is not always up to par. Several times there were guest artists whose performances were a pleasure, but mostly rather modestly. The kids club is popular, but we didn't use it - one child is already big, the other is still small.
After lunch, guests are spoiled with ice cream, and after dinner - popcorn, which can be taken near the main building.
If you go, take a fumigator with you. There are practically no mosquitoes and they are actively fighting with them, but even 1-2 itchy creatures in the room can ruin the night.
I would like to note the friendliness and responsiveness of the guest relation Oksana, who is always ready to help, give advice or answer questions of interest, and the qualifications of the hotel guide Ali.
And thanks to the hotel for the "compliment" - although upon departure the rooms are rented at 12-00, our family left one room free of charge until the departure at 18-00, where we could put our things and put the baby to sleep.
In general (with the exception of the listed shortcomings), the impression was pleasant, and with such a price-quality ratio, the hotel is quite decent.
