Settlement
We arrived early in the morning at 8 o'clock and arrived at the hotel, we were immediately given bracelets and offered to go for breakfast. After breakfast we were told that we would either have to wait until 2:00 pm or we could upgrade our room. (The room was booked the most standard small without a balcony). For 70 dollars (for the entire period) we were offered a bigger, more comfortable room with a balcony, we were with friends and we bargained for 30 dollars per room and settled at 10.00. A woman from Belarus said that specifically in this hotel there is one fetish for which it was possible to upgrade the category for free - Ukrainian chocolate, they are addicted to various Roshen chocolates, and indeed, when we settled in, the administrator asked if we had chocolate.
Rooms
In fact, there are only 3 types of hotel rooms:
Standard - small room even without a balcony
Family - a family two-room suite - it is convenient to relax with teenagers
And the junior suite - the room is larger than the standard, with a balcony, a life hack regarding junior suites, with children it is better to ask to put you in the side junior suites, they have more space due to the side niche (in a regular junior suite there is a sofa table and an armchair at the entrance, in the side junior suites instead of one chair 2 and more space at the entrance to the room, in a small junior suite the children crashed into the table from the entrance and we were worried because there was a glass tabletop that was easy to break)
The rooms are very clean and comfortable, good split climate control systems, room cleaning was just perfect, people in the reviews wrote that they didn’t clean very well, but I disagree everything was “more perfect than perfect” in our rooms 2306 and 2308 even when the children were very “piggy” "The next day, cleanliness and comfort again (perhaps the dissatisfied did not leave a dollar to the cleaning manager Mustafa).
Weather
We were very lucky in albeit were out of season and for the locals it was cold for us the weather was perfect.
During the day +25...+30, At night it is different (it was cool 16-18 and warm 20-22) water +22...+23. By the way, we noticed such a thing, the hotel is located near the desert and in the evening it is colder at night than nearby on Naama Bay or in the old town - Old Market.
Beach
Road to the beach.
The second line, what a nightmare they often read reviews and heard from their friends, but in fact it’s not far to go to the beach - 10 minutes with the children. You need to go through the hotel Royal holiday beach resort & casino 5 * The only thing you really need to cross the road on the way to the beach is very carefully, this applies to all of Egypt.
The beach itself.
Again, they wrote a lot that the beach is terrible with children is unrealistic. We were delighted, who wants to be alone in the rocks, below the sandy sunset, you can walk and swim with the children on the sandy beach of the GAFY RESORT hotel (neighboring beach on the right if you look at the sea), the beach there is fine and perfect sand.
There is a nice bar on the beach.
corals
The corals on Le Royal Holiday beach are all dead and dead, to see all the beauty you need to either swim behind the buoys or go along the sea to the left (there is a private beach) I started diving from it and even went to the pier on the left (200 meters) and dived along corals right up to the GAFY beach, there is an unrealistically beautiful and diverse underwater world.
Coral Ras Mohammed
We also went on a yacht tour with Manta Divers Sharm - good yachts, cool guys (the cost is from 25 to 35 dollars per person depending on the season, how you bargain, we took through friends for 4 adults and 2 children for $ 140, but you can bargain cheaper, many take for an adequate price in the "Excursion from Roma" near the hotel and are very satisfied).
Staff
The Le Royal Holiday staff are top notch, no one in the hotel sells anything or tries to swindle a tip, but if you want to feel like a king, don't forget about the waiters, bartenders and room service and even towels.
Take a closer look at who is closer to you in spirit at first, do not tip, see who works, and then you can encourage those who treat you well.
The life hack I was talking about: take chocolate, it is sometimes more valuable for staff than a tip, give towels and guys on the beach and by the pool cigarettes, despise bartenders and waiters who really serve you well and you will have a royal holiday here. But even without a tip, if you communicate normally, no one will freeze you, the staff here is very responsive, literally a couple of not very pleasant personalities for us personally (at the reception and the administrator of the restaurant / snack bar).
Water park and pools
The water park is small with about 10 adult slides and two working pools of children's slides (one pool with slides is dilapidated).
It’s very OK to ride on adults, it’s cool in almost all water parks and this was not a hindrance to us. For adults, there are slides with buns and on rugs. A very cool Orange slide on a bun, where you fall into the abyss from a normal height, there is a toilet both on a rug and on a bun, a very light interesting zebra slide, it’s not scary in it and it glows inside.
Pools
Heated pools near the restaurant (lobby) at the end of the adult complex there is a very warm children's paddling pool, the children are delighted with 50 centimeters of water there and it is convenient to learn to swim.
Bars:
A good bar near the central pool, perhaps the best in the entire hotel, there is also a bar in the water park area, there is also a snack bar where you can eat shawarma, burgers, pizza and ice cream from 15.00-17.00
Entertainment:
For children, a playground, a mini disco in the evenings with a standard program every day, for adults, exercises, yoga, there is billiards and table tennis, but the work schedule is strange there.
But there is a big problem from 17.00 until dinner at 19.00 there is nothing to do in the hotel, billiards and table tennis are closed, the water park is closed, the pool bar is closed : (((
Food
Not the main strong point of this hotel, it is very OK, but everything is monotonous, I do not advise taking cakes and European sweets from the Egyptians with this problem, the most delicious sweet is baklava.
The drinks
Beer (local stella) - very ok, drinking vodka is unrealistic, whiskey looks like rum, rum - it's not clear what kind of shmurdyak. Girls like tropical cocktail, mojito and gin and tonic.
Juices for breakfast are often diluted or, on the contrary, concentrated.
Hotel as a whole
In general, the hotel is very ok, it was closed and reconstructed in 2019 (renovation, or rather reopened). flies off, the ceiling in the restaurant was not painted, and painter's tape was left near the chandelier.
But there is another side, they are trying to make the hotel like an oasis in the desert, it is very green compared to others and despite the shortcomings of the high-level hotel itself, during the transfer back and forth we stopped by many hotels of all I can single out only Hayyat it is really cooler , other hotels, even top-level ones, were very inferior to ours.
Another point for families with small children, be careful in the hotel there is a lot of natural stone, glass tiles and children often fall and can get hurt near the hall, near the pool in the room (almost everywhere is slippery), in general, be careful.
5 stars? I don't think
Le Royal Holiday Resort (Aquapark) is good value for money!
Objectively, it falls short of 5 * - this is a solid 4 stars because of the sea on the second line, food and small nuances.
My family and I want to visit Rixos Premium Seagate on our next trip to Sharm.
