2nd time in Egypt. The first time was in Hurghada in 2007 in 4 *. The second decided to go to 5 * in the Sheraton.
Rested in this hotel from September 28 to October 11.2008. In general, I am very satisfied with my stay in this hotel, but probably the impressions about the rest depend primarily on what is most important for you when choosing a hotel. I will try to describe in order:
Housing: it is necessary to distinguish between Sheraton Main (this is 5 * and located on the first line, and all rooms in the main building have sea views) and Seraton Resort and Villas (on the second line, 4 *, not all rooms with sea views. In this the review will focus on the Sheraton Main, although the information regarding the beach applies to the entire hotel as a whole.
So, the building is 7-storey, all rooms are very spacious, with a balcony and overlooking the sea. Cleaning is daily and very thorough. In the room: safe and refrigerator (free of charge), refrigerator, hairdryer and iron (for a fee and on request). Room rating - 5 points.
Food: quite normal for NOT gourmets.
The pastries are delicious, but there is no variety in meat dishes and there is little fruit (for 14 days they gave pears and figs 1 time, grapes and pomegranates 2 times, the rest of the days - apples, green oranges and grapefruit, and NEVER watermelon! ). But nevertheless, everyone can find something acceptable. But for frills (crabs, shrimp, etc. ) it is better to go to specialized restaurants in Naama Bay (by taxi from the hotel $ 10). Rating - 4 points.
SPA: quite decent, but a little expensive: a set of procedures for 2 hours (bath, hydromassage, peeling, massage) about 350 euros. Score 4 points.
Sandy beach - 50 m from the hotel. The length is 1000 m. But entry into the sea ONLY BY PANTON! It is very difficult for kids to swim in the sea, only near the shore, so they swam all the time in the pool. And it was not very comfortable for adults to enter the sea: there is only one pantone for such a huge hotel (AND THIS IS THE MOST HUGE MINUS OF THE HOTEL). IT IS ALWAYS SWEET WITH A CROWD OF HOLIDAYERS.
Diving students at the hotel dive from the same pantone, and boats with entertainment for vacationers moor here. From these boats constantly carries exhaust gases. In short, you swim in the sea and breathe exhaust: ((( The reef is very beautiful, there are a lot of fish. A very tactless worker is on duty at this panston, often idle, insulting vacationers, heart-rending screams and whistling: "Like, give way to the boat. " Rating 3 points, and then only because of the beautiful reef and fish.
Animation: Russian animation group - NO! In addition to the disgusting belly dance, they can’t offer anything worthy. But the people, hungry for entertainment, agree to this. For children - almost nothing: an evening disco for 15 minutes. How we envied the Italians, who had an amazing, incendiary animation team! By the middle of the rest, we began to go to have fun with Italian animators. Thank you very much.
Animation (for Russians) - 1 point.
In general, the main advantages of the hotel: luxurious rooms overlooking the sea and the island in the sea and the proximity of the beach.
Cons: inconvenient entry into the sea. It is necessary to equip at least 2 more pontoons and a separate berth for boats.
Also, vacationers need to keep in mind that the hotel has a service tax. For example, if you record room expenses (drinks, dinner, laundry, taxi, etc. ), then when you check out of the hotel, in addition to the cost of these services, you will be asked to pay an additional 24% tax for these services. You need to know about this, but no one warns in advance.
The second time I will probably not go there. I will look for a more convenient entry into the sea. Still, we are going to swim in the sea, not in the pool.
I wish you all a good holiday.
