Rested with his wife and son 10 years old at the Sheraton Resort at the end of June. I will say right away that the cost of rest in a hotel is higher than its present level. We were foolishly seduced by the name, we thought that the chain hotel would correspond to the level and justify the amount paid, but we were deeply mistaken.
To begin with, the hotel is divided into 2 parts: the main building (Main) and bungalows and two-story buildings (Resort). Maine is even more expensive than the Resort, but judging by the appearance of the building, the rooms and the sea view compensate for these costs.
We were brought to the Resort at about 3 pm, settled immediately. As it turned out, we were lucky, as we got a room in the Dolphin building overlooking the pool with music and water polo. Our room was quite tolerable, but naturally not 5 stars. Firstly, very old furniture, in some places with burrs, you have to be careful when opening drawers. In the bathroom, the shower barely stuck to the wall, everything else worked well. But the appearance, of course, depressing. Cleaning is very weak, with or without a tip, we did not see the difference. In addition, it took us a very long time to carry an extra bed for our son. At the very beginning, they generally asked if it was needed. What do you mean not needed? First, they brought a folding bed, rather narrow, then a couple of hours later, bed linen for her. There is no organization at the hotel, and this manifested itself in many ways.
We liked the territory of the Resort more than Meina. It was very green, beautiful old palm trees, many flowers, everything is very green. The hotel is far from new and the territory is its pride for sure. The pools are normal, relatively clean, sometimes leaves or insects fall there, which are not immediately caught, but this is acceptable.
The beach is large, there is enough space for everyone, comfortable sun loungers, clean. The entrance to the sea is only from the pontoon, at first our son was a little afraid to swim at a depth, but after a couple of days he felt like a fish in water. The only problem was that the hotel had strong currents, as the rescuers informed. Sometimes swimming was forbidden. Some people were indignant about this, but for us safety was above all, so on the contrary, thanks for the responsible attitude to the life of vacationers. The coral reef is very pretty, although mostly dead. Due to currents or for some other reason, there were not very many fish, but it is always interesting to see.
The food at the hotel was average, again at the level of the four. There was always chicken, there was not enough meat for meat-eaters, there was often fried fish, but with a slight salting. There were enough side dishes, but everything was fresh, there were not enough oriental spices, which Egypt is so rich in. The son leaned on fast food by the pool, unfortunately, there was not always the strength to switch him to normal food. Vegetables and fruits were fresh, the choice was normal, we can’t single out anything. Desserts and pastries were also average. We drank alcohol very moderately, mostly beer and wine. The wine was very personal, which was a pleasant surprise. No poisoning was observed among familiar tourists from the hotel. But again, I couldn’t overeat, because I wanted something special.
The animation is weak, the son was already too old for children's animation, so we cannot evaluate it. He often played water polo with me. To go to the city, you can take a taxi at the barrier at the entrance to the hotel, you can get to Naama Bay for $ 8, you can even get to Hollywood for $ 5. It is advisable to pay in pounds, otherwise they have no change from dollars and give pounds at the exchange rate. From the barrier we were also taken on an excursion to Israel, which was booked at the Red Sea Travel agency. Ordered on the Internet in Russia, there were only pleasant impressions. The Internet in the hotel caught very badly, only to send an email, there is not enough for more dirt. Liked the hookah on the roof of Maine.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the hotel, if it were in the category of 4 stars and cheaper, would not cause any complaints.
