Went with a group of two adults and three schoolchildren. It was my first time there with my children, but we went on the recommendation of a friend who had already been there and was satisfied.
Honestly, I'm very satisfied. Everything is good: the beach, and the gentle sandy entry into the sea, and the territory, and the location. Before that, they rested in Movenpick in the same place in Sharm, and so he loses in almost everything to Iberotel.
The guys at the reception - above all praise, just great! Dima from the pharmacy - a special thanks to him, he advised, did not impose, he treated coral stew and sunburn. Chefs, confectioners - thank you too!
They cleaned up pretty well. We got a room like ears after renovation, but a friend, the door opposite, the bathroom was clearly fresher.

Now about the cons (for all my delight, they are). Firstly, I woke up exactly at 4 am - with the morning prayer. We live at home near the mosque, it seems like we are used to it, but those who are not familiar with the peculiarities of such a neighborhood, keep this in mind when choosing a room.
Secondly, there is a cafe on the beach, which is not related to the hotel, but on the last night from 13 to 2 in the morning we gradually “fun” with its visitors: they had a concert, and the music was heard throughout the Old Town, probably. So, too, a fad for those who will think where to choose a number.
Well, the biggest disappointment is a local photographer, about whom there is already a review below. A guy named Abdul is such a petty scammer. We were invited to shoot by his assistant Angelica, who did not say a word about the very minimum of 20 photos, although I, having read the review in advance, asked about it directly. No, no, as much as you need, we will do as much. I needed no more than 5-6 photos in printed form, we discussed this, I left an advance payment of $ 23. A friend joined, said that she didn’t need printed ones, but it would be nice to get 10-15 pieces on a USB flash drive.
As a result, having photographed us for about 30 minutes - we immediately said where and how we want to not wander for a long time, in the evening we were left with nothing: Abdul flatly refused to reduce the number of photos to 18 (my 6 and girlfriends 12), saying that he was spending money on taxi, and we used it. The bickering ended with me leaving him $5, only to have him fall behind, but warned that I would tell everyone about his scheme. The balance of $ 18 was returned to me the next day, but in old dollars of the 95th year (my fault, in a hurry and did not check), which resulted in my evening visit to the bank and standing in line. In general, with Abdul - keep your eyes open.
I repeat - the hotel itself is beautiful, from October 1 it will become "16+", it's a pity, I wanted to return there with my children and my husband. Thanks to all the staff!
