We were at the Novotel Beach hotel from December 11 to 21. The hotel is just great! First of all, the choice of the hotel was influenced by: a wonderful sandy beach, a small area, but very green, well-groomed and comfortable in terms of recreation areas. The food is varied and of high quality: meat and fish for three days in unlimited quantities (beef, lamb, turkey, chicken), there were even squids in batter. A fairly large selection of fruits - persimmons, dates, limes, bananas, apples, and other exotic fruits, the name of which we did not remember. For lunch, you could order fresh pizza with toppings to choose from. For breakfast, there were always yogurts in boxes of various types and without artificial fillers, which is very important for me personally. Husband ordered an omelet with vegetables and meat. Greens, salads, cucumbers and tomatoes have always been in addition to the main dishes! Everyone liked the variety of confectionery goodies, because they really tasted different, and did not differ only in color, as is usually the case in other hotels. I really liked the fact that when we came to eat at any time, we never worried that we would not have enough of some kind of “delicacy”, because. absolutely all dishes were instantly replenished and, coming to dinner at 21:00 after shopping or walking around the center of Naama Bay, we always knew that we would dine no worse than in a restaurant. Visitors often sat at dinner at tables on the street, but no one was ever in a hurry, it was nice to chat at the table after dinner, sipping wine from a glass or coffee with a cake. The food regimen is very convenient and "spacious" for visitors, so there were never queues for food!
The room is quite spacious with a balcony overlooking the garden. On the balcony there is a table and two chairs. There was a kettle, cups, tea and coffee in the room. Enough mirrors, a sofa, a table. The rooms were very well cleaned and linen changed every day! On the first day, our cleaning manager came to us, introduced himself, explained everything about the possibilities in the room (beer and drinks in the fridge for free), clarified our preferences for folding things without any hint of a tip (which we gave him with pleasure, because he did not beg them! ). It was very important for me that there were no foreign odors in the room - no smoking, no diclophos, no mold, or anything else for sure! ))) Once they poisoned midges with some kind of gas on the territory, but in Egypt this is a common thing. I liked the fact that near the pool on the board indicated the percentage of chlorine in the water. There was always a hotel employee who monitored the safety of bathing children in the children's pool area. It is felt that the hotel administration is working to prevent the occurrence of problems, and not to solve them in a fire order.
The atmosphere in the hotel is very friendly, the staff is helpful and friendly. There were many vacationers from different countries in the hotel - Ukrainians, Poles, Czechs, British, Kazakhs, Russians and Egyptians. All are helpful and polite. It turned out to be a very diverse communication! )))

Animation in the hotel is very cool! The guys are funny, young and professional! There was even live music on the weekends - the young guy sang the hits of the Beatles, Sting, Italian songs very cool, played in the bossa nova style and many others. Moreover, the voice and sound were really professional!
Separately about the beach. The beach is sandy, flat, very clean, with enough sun loungers, drinks, beer, animations, aerobics, yoga, etc. children were even taught how to cook pizza like an adult - prepare the dough, roll it out, add the toppings and bake it in the oven. They ate pizza with their parents, which I think they will remember for a lifetime! ))) Entry into the water is sandy and from the pontoon, who wants extreme sports. There are fish and corals, so swimmers who love to dive and swim breaststroke went to the neighboring beach of the Miratel Hotel, where it is safer to swim, but there are fewer fish with corals. The beach has changing rooms, showers with fresh water, a bar with tables.
A couple of times we went free to the restaurant of Italian and Oriental cuisine at the hotel. I liked it, the menu is decent, you can bring your own drinks, the service is good and no one rushed us.
Special thanks to the manager Sandra, who works at the Novotel Palm hotel, who convinced us to settle on the 1st line closer to the beach. We were worried that it would be noisy there, but everything turned out great! In the evenings, we walked along the alley along the sea to the very center of Naama Bay, where we bought fruits, cosmetics and souvenirs.
The weather was excellent 27-30 degrees, water temperature 22-23 degrees. There were no winds, not for nothing that Naama Bay is considered the most windless in Sharm. Rest was a success!! !
