I stayed with my wife in November in this hotel. They settled quickly, explained what was pltano (drinks from the refrigerator, drinks at dinner), and what was not. On the day of arrival, they were fed dinner - the main thing is to catch it before 21.
The design of the hotel is amazing. The rooms are very richly decorated. We lived in a comfort room - there really is a window, but it has an oriental grille - so there is no light from the window. But it's not a problem. The only remark is that the refrigerator maintained a temperature of 20 degrees and, it seems, did not work at all as I did not regulate it. But this is important if you use it - we did not use it at all. Is there a safe in the room. Take your shampoo with you. The room is always clean.
The hotel service is quite satisfied. Sometimes towels were issued later 7 . The sun is up and you don't want to go swimming without them. Although this problem did not affect us - we ate for a long time, and by this time towels had already been delivered. Please note - towels must be handed in yesterday no later than 5. But it happens that no one takes them at half past four, and our disciplined tourists are patiently waiting to hand them over - do not wait. All the same, you will receive a reprimand from the person issuing towels that you did not hand them in on time yesterday - take this with humor. During the course of the hotel was never searched - you can bring food, water.

Food is tolerable. The wife was poisoned. It's hard to say if the hotel is at fault. Vegetarians will be happy with the food. They make salads to order. Lots of fresh vegetables, even fruits - guava, oranges, lemons, melons. Lots of sweets, but not all are tasty. Cakes are tasteless - dry, unsoaked cakes, but by the way, you can always find something tolerable. The biggest problem at dinner is meat and fish. If the chicken is nothing, the rest is of dubious content. I ate everything in a row without problems - do not leave hungry. Tea from a bag for dinner - $ 2 - a little expensive.
Beach - across the road Gafi Resort - 5 minutes walk. You just need to take a pass to the beach at the reception and drag towels from the hotel with you. Do not try to smuggle water and food onto the beach - they are completely searched. The only option is to enter through the beach to the left and walk along the coastline. But keep in mind - the beach is monitored and you need to eat discreetly. There are plenty of places and sunbeds on the beach. Fish - you will not see these even in the reserve. Corals are mostly dead, but if you sail towards Sofitel, there are living ones. Beach with sandy entrance. There are no waves. Cape Sofitel protects from excitement. I would say that this is the best beach in Naama Bay in terms of location. The only downside is the BRAUD ITALIANS. Just tell them in English that they are not at home - and they will fall behind.
There are many cafes around the hotel, McDonald's, a 24-hour supermarket, an Internet cafe, from where you can call home. Fruit prices in the supermarket are the same as in the market. Please note that in the oriental bazaar you can be greatly deceived, plus a fare of 5 pounds on a blue minibus - you can safely buy in a supermarket and ask in Russian to pack the right amount for you.
To the shops of Naama Bay - 40 minutes on foot. You can take a blue minibus - 1 pound. On the left is the exchange office - Thomas Cook. In general, the location is excellent. The only thing to keep in mind is that it is quite difficult to cross the road to the hotel in the evening - there are a lot of cars.
Be sure to go to Soho in the evening (after 20) to the fountain - 30 pounds for a taxi one way. We were very satisfied.
We went to Cairo, to the reserve from Pegasus. Very pleased. Pegasus works great.
We were very satisfied with our stay in the hotel - we will definitely go there again.
