The rooms are good, spacious, but the Internet in the rooms and on the territory is weak.
Only one restaurant works, the choice of food is monotonous and of the same type - every day the same thing, you will not be hungry, but there is nothing special. The bar is also only open.
The territory of the hotel is large, but in some places not well-groomed.
The water park is very big, everything works.
The attitude of the staff is average - there were many Arabs and first of all they served them, and then us (Ukrainians, Belarusians).
The beach is tolerable - sunbeds were free, next to the left there is the beach of the Movenpick Hotel (it is not working now), there is a very beautiful reef - swimming in schools of fish - just great !!! ! I recommend to go there - you need to enter only in shoes!
We had a good rest, but we will definitely not go to this hotel again!

Great hotel for little money. Settled without any problems without demanding anything, we were with a child gave a good room. The food is excellent, European, there was everything and vegetables and meat and fish, for children and cream soup and milk soups, there was something to feed the child and eat on our own. Whoever writes that the food is not varied is a pure lie, just try not to scoop up all the dishes in one meal, but take something new every day.
The hotel is on the second line, but this is not a problem, exactly 7 minutes to the beach with a stroller, but you need to cross the road, but this is not a busy highway, but just a road where there is a pedestrian crossing. The beach is for two hotels, but there was enough space for everyone, there was no such thing that everything was busy, no one interfered with anyone. It is very cool that there is a sandy entry for children and a reef for adults. Put on corals, take a mask and a little to the left of the beach there is a stunning reef and fish! The attitude of the staff towards everyone is good, no one requires anything, they always help. Cleaning the room every day, change of towels too.
There is a water park with slides for different ages, very interesting for both adults and children. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, green, it is clear that the staff is trying very hard. The main contingent are Arabs and Ukrainians. The hotel is near the airport, but two, three planes a day is not a problem at all, living in Kyiv and seeing such a picture every day, I don’t see a problem in this at all. To each his own. There is no need to compare hotels with each other, but some are better than some are worse, you can always find flaws. We would love to come to this hotel again only for 10 days!

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.

The hotel itself I rate highly at 9 points. I’ll cut off a unit for animation, since it’s not at all suitable for young people. The check-in was not very good at first, after you start talking in a raised voice, only then they start to offer something normal, I know this because it’s not the first time. … More ▾ The hotel itself I rate highly at 9 points.

We chose this hotel because we were traveling with a child, we needed a water park and the southern part of Sharm El Sheikh, and the price was right for us. I wanted the first line, this hotel - on the second, but we did not regret it, in the end, because the hotel is good, the rooms are in very good condition, although the renovation is not recent. … More ▾ We chose this hotel because we were traveling with a child, we needed a water park and the southern part of Sharm El Sheikh, and the price was right for us.

Liked the big water park. The territory is beautiful, well-groomed, someone is constantly looking after it. The food is good, varied, everyone liked it. They settled us immediately in a room that we did not like, we then changed it for a fee. I didn’t like the beach, it is assigned to the Le Royal Holiday hotel, which is on the first coastline, it is very small, the sand on the beach is not taken care of. At the same time, I really liked the reef, looking at the fish is normal, but lying on the sand is not comfortable. The service on the beach is good, cocktails, towels - everything is fine with that.

We liked the hotel in general. We were settled quickly, we arrived in the evening. I did not like that the receptionist directly said that he needed to thank for the number. I do not like such directness. The room was cleaned well, I did not like the mattress, it was not new, tired, so to speak. I think we just needed to ask for the mattress to be replaced, but we didn't ask about it. … More ▾ We liked the hotel in general. We were settled quickly, we arrived in the evening.

There was enough food, no one was left hungry, enough wine and beer. The plates with information on where to get towels do not match a bit, because there was another beach nearby. We made remarks about this, but did not change anything. I can't say that the beach was not cleaned, it was as clean as possible. The pipe was visible on the beach, it was a bit distracting, but the water from this water flowed clean, there were no unpleasant odors. There are plenty of shops and pharmacies near the hotel.

Everything was good, the food was delicious, not many people. Cleaned of course time after time. The hotel is clean, the territory is well-groomed, the bushes are trimmed. If something was wrong, we spoke and it was quickly resolved. Animation was, but weak. It's close to the city center as far as I can tell. … More ▾ Everything was good, the food was delicious, not many people. Cleaned of course time after time.

In the summer I think there will be more people and there will probably be problems with sun loungers, so it's probably the best option to go here in winter.

The hotel is good, conceived perfectly, but there is a huge minus for the possibility of a good and proper rest: 1. A large number of pools with beautiful slides. Everything works, but no one bathes in them. You walk around and look at all this working splendor, but you can’t swim, where there are slides there is NO HEATING. … More ▾ The hotel is good, conceived perfectly, but there is a huge minus for the possibility of a good and proper rest:
1. A large number of pools with beautiful slides. Everything works, but no one bathes in them. You walk around and look at all this working splendor, but you can’t swim, where there are slides there is NO HEATING. Heated 2 swimming pools - one very small "Frog", the second small pool for adults and school children. EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOT HEATED. We rested with our daughter and grandchildren 2 years and 8 years old from 12/11/19 to 12/18/19. The temperature during the day is 25, and in the evening up to 18. We chose this hotel because of the water park and were completely disappointed. The water park itself is magnificent, but during this period of time, young guys risked a ride from the slides only twice, and then drunk. After they swept down the hills, they said: "The hops were gone. " Extreme 2 in one - from slides and from water. Grandchildren swam in the pools, and we went to the sea.
2. Sea. The beach is not bad but small, the sunbeds are tired, there is practically nothing to eat in the cafe, the pontoon is short but also tired, it is very inconvenient to go down from it, there are no stairs. Sunset without a pontoon in slippers on a dead reef. Having sailed a little, taking to the left, you will see a magnificent picture with fish near a steep reef. The depth is small, I think no more than 10 meters. You will see a great variety and splendor of fish. Of those that I very rarely saw: Skat, Murena, Napoleon (he was 4 times in the resorts of Egypt). That alone lifted my spirits. We walked to the beach, a maximum of 10 minutes, although every 30 minutes they take us to the beach.
3. I do not advise anyone to go to an Italian restaurant - spoil the mood and attitude towards Italian cuisine. To say this is a terrible parody is an understatement. There is no Indian or any other, as in fact Italian. Darkness, horror, no words.
If anyone is interested I will answer any questions.

The water park is wonderful, many slides are fun for both adults and children, but the pools in them are not heated. Our child was afraid at first (cold water), and then tried it once - it was impossible to pull it out.
The food is varied, for Egypt it’s even nothing: many types of meat, fried and stewed squids were given several times, sea fish every day, a lot of fruits - pomegranates, bananas, persimmons, grapes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits. Juices are wonderful, packaged (not diluted and not yuppies).
The rooms are ordinary, standard for Egypt, cleaned regularly, everything is clean.
Animators work every day, there is enough entertainment, you can go to the disco in the evening.
It is convenient that the hotel is in the center of Naama Bay, you can walk on foot to the colorful market and along the sea. And go to the old city by minibus or taxi.
Beach 10 minutes walk across the road and another hotel. But it’s not stressful at all, and it’s even nice to walk. Beach with a small sandy entry. But we always went to the very end on the left, to the beach area of ​ ​ the Movenpick Hotel. There you go down from the rocks and the entry into the sea is so hard (dead rammed corals), but there are a lot of fish of all kinds and absolutely clean and transparent. The depth goes gradually - it is convenient for both children and adults, but you can’t do without coral shoes. On the left, almost immediately, there is a gorgeous reef with live corals, there are a lot of different fish: both small and 1.5-2 meters. We saw a white snake, and stingrays, and moray eels, and lionfish, etc.
In general, do not be afraid of 2 lines. This hotel is a chic option for a vacation: both budget and high quality.
I want to come back here!! !

Rooms: clean, normal. The bathroom is large, there are bathrobes.
Territory: clean, well-groomed, something is constantly washed, watered.
Staff: very friendly, special thanks to the bartenders for great cocktails, good mood.
Water park: slides work by the hour, first they turn on one, then the other. Be prepared that the zone of children's slides without heating water, as well as the zone of adult slides (this is a huge minus).
Food in the main restaurant: good. Not such a huge selection of everything, but there is always something to choose from. Grilled for dinner every evening. I am not a fan of sweet pastries on vacation, but here I appreciated the delicious coconut cookies and baklava. Delicious shawarma, ice cream and pizza at the bar near the water park.
Beach and sea: beach for 2 hotels, both were half-occupied, and at the same time there were just sunbeds back to back). I don't know how people will settle down on the beach in summer when the population is bigger than in December. The reef is excellent, without exaggeration, as near the island of Tiran. There are a lot of different fish, the reef is alive.
Of the minuses of the rest: the staff, although friendly, but we stole the phone from the room when we were on an excursion. We went to find out where the phone was to the administrator, and he just took it out of the box and said that the worker found it on the territory. What kind of nonsense? We just thought if we didn’t come up to find out where our thing was, we would stir up ourselves. Therefore, be sure to keep documents, money, valuables in a safe, which by the way is free in the room.
