- We went in April for 7 days with a family of 2 adults + 2 children (12 and 9 years old). The cost of a ticket from Kyiv was $1.530. We compared it with Sultan Garden, Nubian Island, Monte Carlo (all have their own advantages). Based on reviews and photos, we chose Grand Rotana.
- Beautiful area of ​ ​ the hotel with evening illumination of palm trees. There is 1 water slide for children with a descent into a warm pool. A warm hot tub with a beautiful view is a favorite place for girls to take photos on Instagram.
- The main restaurant is one large, it is better to come an hour after the start, fewer people, the excitement subsides. Delicious salads with cheese and arugula, fish with olives, pastries. During the day at the beach bar you can take drinks, chips, peanuts, ice cream.

- Without a mask, swimming in the Red Sea is not interesting. So don't forget to take it with you. We bought an extra TARGET helmet when we went to Naama Bay. Sellers always quote a price of $25, we bargained for $13.
- Wi-Fi catches throughout the hotel. This time we did not stand nervously in line at the airport and did not buy a Vodafone card for mobile Internet.
- It is convenient that 3 times a day there is an internal bus to the city center of Naama Bay. All shopping is best done here. Feel free to divide the prices quoted by traders by 2.5 times and name your price. If you bought something higher than 50% of the price they quoted, then you overpaid. If it’s not comfortable to bargain, then in Naama Bay there is a Carrefour market supermarket with fixed prices, you can make purchases (bought juices and dates with you to Kyiv). Payment in Egyptian pounds, the exchange rate at the terminal is $1 = 17.3 pounds (the same rate at the hotel reception).
- We did not meet with the hotel guide from John Up, we saved time and kept a good mood.
- The hotel has excellent staff, well-established processes, no misunderstandings arose (two girls at the reception speak Russian, they solve everything professionally and answer).
- Among the shortcomings of the hotel: there are no changing cabins, and the toilet on the beach is uncomfortable and not clean enough; there is nowhere to dry bathing accessories and things in the rooms (the wind breaks from the balcony); meager evening entertainment (belly dance, skirt dance, karaoke), which gather in the amphitheater up to 10-20 people from the whole hotel.
