Vacationed at Eden Rock in September 2008.
I'll tell you that for a troika, this is just a super-hotel! Excellent combination of price / quality. I am in Egypt for the 3rd time, I was in the four and five, and good ones. Once again, the hotel is good. Cleaning every day (don't forget to leave 2 pounds). Shampoo and shower gel are given, however, only upon check-in. The territory is small, but well-groomed, watered and cleaned every day. Very beautiful lawn, flowers, palm trees. Beautifully mowed bushes. The pool is small but again clean. The restaurant is also small, but good, the service is excellent. The food does not differ in variety, but no one will be hungry: there is a choice of food, there are always meat or fish dishes, there is always fruit, dessert. And no one beats hands for an extra piece of meat (as I read about some triples in Egypt). I read in the reviews that you can’t bring food and drinks bought in stores with you to the hotel - I don’t know, no one has ever looked into my bag.
The hotel is two-story: on the second floor there are balconies, on the first floor the terrace goes directly either to the pool or to the lawn. This area has just begun to be built up with hotels, so the view from the main entrance is not respectful, but it’s not figs to do there (only needed for transfers or excursions).

The location of the hotel is just a song. The beach and Naama Bay are all nearby, no need to drive anywhere. One problem: there you need to go 110 steps down (and then up, respectively). It is really difficult, I called these steps “Circles of Hell”, but you can get used to it. Guests of "Eden Rock" use the beach of the hotel "Lido". The beach is excellent, sandy, without any pontoons, the depth starts after 30 meters. There is a small coral there, but there are a lot of fish, even a moray eel lives - I saw it myself.
Another minus is that the landing planes fly right over the hotel at a low altitude, but in principle it is even interesting. And all night you can hear the music from the discos of Naama Bay.
And there is no animation - but sorry, this is a triple.
I almost forgot. When you arrive in Sharm, the host (we had a TEZ TOUR) tries to push you to another hotel with a similar name “Rock Hotel”, like there are no places there (or maybe tourists won’t notice the difference in the name). Read reviews from that hotel to compare. I recommend that you be persistent and not get off the bus until you are brought to your destination.
So, if you want to have a normal rest for relatively little money - WELCOME in “Eden Rock”. You won't be disappointed.
