I was in Egypt 5 times at different prices - from $350 to $700. This hotel was recommended by the tour operator for $650, saying that the hotel is VIP and everything is fine, except for the reef (for 3). I am not from royal family, I can relax in a simple hotel and in a chic one, but when I go, I want to know where and if it is worth it, and what I pay for. This hotel is a complete disappointment.
Reef not on 3? but it is simply not there (3 stones and a couple of fish). Near the Sensatori hotel - that's where the reef is.
The staff is normal (I never have any complaints about people, the person himself is in a mood, it happens differently).
The hotel is old, but the area is beautiful, well-groomed.

The rooms are average, a bit old, but everything is there, they are cleaned once a day tolerably, towels are changed, water is one bottle for 2 people (I didn’t ask for more, I don’t know or more). They clean the dining room, but there is a smell, and the tables and chairs are sticky, the walls are stained, the chandeliers are covered in flies, everything is tattered, the tables are staggering, in short, like in a VIP hotel. Flies in the canteen is a separate conversation, but I don’t know how I never got poisoned and didn’t feel sick.
The food is rather weak, tasteless, there seems to be a choice, but apart from pasta and potatoes, people did not take anything, they never went for a supplement, as in other hotels, except for fruit. I noticed that most people ate fries and hot dogs. All drinks are diluted. The meat is complete garbage, from stew to barbecue. Everything is monotonous, sometimes, but only for dinner, they gave something new (sushi with cucumber with cabbage, carrots - I eat this for the first time), barbecue chicken, undercooked fish, burnt crabs (I won’t lie - I ate 5 pieces for joy) .
It can be seen that they save on food here, but the manager must understand that the hotel is over, no one will come here for the second time, food at the hotel should compensate for the lack of coral (this is what all hotels do if they want to survive). I was in Hurghada, it was exactly like that, but I travel overseas, so Sharm is better.
The beach and entry into the sea is good, for pensioners, disabled people and children.
The animation is rather weak, but it will do for a 4 * hotel.
Many Europeans in the hotel, but there is no discrimination.
In short, I will never go here, even if the price is $ 350 and they will lie to me that this is a VIP and has been renovated (there are better 4 * in Sharm). If we compare all the hotels where I have been, this is the worst, even fours, I don’t understand why they give such points.
I leave a review for the first time for all the trips, but for such a nae... ku and such money, for such a shit... you have to write.
And I want to say, who was in such a hotel and near such reefs, do not refuse to rest in Egypt, here is the most beautiful sea and corals in the world, I have already traveled around the world and I can say this, you just need to choose the right hotel.
