We rested in early July 2019. Sheraton was specially chosen for this season because of its location on the cape, expecting a fresh breeze in the summer heat and an abundance of large marine life in warm water. And they didn't fail! The heat was not felt at all, a lot of interesting things under water.
The hotel itself is quite worn out due to age, but this is now typical of almost all of Egypt. In fact, the settlement goes only to the central building, where all the rooms have a sea view. The villas are empty. If you believe the locals, then the settlement is 26% -30%.
All hotel staff noticeably try to please guests with their service, focusing on a small number of vacationers. There is always plenty of space in the dining room, the waiters rustle and help. The food is plentiful and varied. On the open terrace of the dining room - each time additional locations for cooking. Snacks on the beach - so-so, if someone likes this.

The rooms are worn but quite comfortable. The advantage is the huge balconies overlooking the sea, which are in the shade from lunch. Of course, leaving a tip before cleaning the room, you can get nice compliments.
Going down the elevator from the building, you almost immediately get to the beach.
The beach is huge and empty. Pretty comfortable places to stay in a wide range to choose from. Sunbeds are far from the neighbors and no one interferes with anyone. Beach cleaning is obvious. There are a couple of places to enter the shallows for children. From the center of the beach above the reef, a high stationary solid pier was made, from which it is convenient to dive. A great guy Mohamed El kon keeps order on the pier. Ships with tourists do not moor here and only sometimes drop drivers, immediately sailing away.
The hotel is quite quiet and peaceful. Animation and evening show - so-so. But we are not particularly interested in this.
Snorkeling along the reef almost every day you can meet Napoleons, turtles, eagles, large stingrays, barracudas. There was even a zebra shark and big swordfish!
For the money the hotel offers quite a good level of rest and service.
From what I would like to add - evening transportation from the hotel to Naama. This would be a nice addition to the service. Although taxi drivers are on duty at the main exit of the hotel, you still need to walk to the exit.
In summary, for a week of rest we got a hotel with good service, food, excellent snorkeling on a reef rich in living creatures. Thanks to the staff who try to make the rest of their guests enjoyable.
