We stayed in Sea Garden for 2 weeks. This is the fifth trip to Egypt. Since I had previously rested in the Sea Club, we knew well where we were going, so my review, believe me, is very objective. The hotel is wonderful and fully corresponds to 4 *, even more, since you rarely find a chain of hotels in Egypt, when living in 4 *, you can use the entire infrastructure of a 5 * hotel, and here also 4+. Therefore, when choosing this hotel, feel free to read all the reviews about Sea Club and Sea Life - beaches, swimming pools, restaurants, bars, general animation. You will not feel in a restaurant or in a bar, for example, in the Sea Club, as a strange guest, since everyone has only “Sea Group” written on their bracelets and no one asks you where you live.
Sea Garden is not exactly the second line. Everyone has one territory and one hotel goes into another, but Sea Garden is separated from Sea Life by a narrow road for buses (then a dead end) and a parking lot for cars. To the sea 400 meters along the beautiful territory of Sea Life. From the Sea Garden restaurant to the Sea Life restaurant - 100 m, to the Sea Club restaurant about 250 m (walk past the Sea Club amphitheater).
The rooms are just great, all two-room (4 beds) - this is the most acceptable option when you are traveling with children or a company of 3 people. Everything is new, TV in every room. All Sea Garden rooms have a view of the pool and a slight view of the sea (the hotel area is small, but very cozy and green and much better than in the photo), so do not be afraid that you will be given a bad room or view. Cleaned up very well. Change of bed and towels was every day without any problem.

We liked the Sea Life beach better - it’s better to swim at low tide in the sea, there are sandy lagoons and the sea is deeper, or rather the part that is up to the reef. There were plenty of free sunbeds. Panton Sea Club beach: the descent is not at all comfortable, but this is the problem of hotels in Sharm. There is a current, but not so strong that you would not swim back, you just need to swim along the reef. For everyone who is not confident in their abilities, we took small inflatable pillows with us, lay down on them and calmly swam for ourselves as much as we wanted without fatigue and fear of swimming far - I recommend, you won’t regret it, otherwise many will grab the pontoon and are afraid to break away.
I liked the animation more in Sea Life, as it is more fun and interesting. You will definitely not be bored. In the evening, live music in all three hotels in the bars on the summer grounds, so you can sit wherever you like. If you want discos, animators take you back and forth to Naama Bay to the best discos every day.
The food was good and varied in all three restaurants: beef steaks, meat rolls, duck, chicken, fish of the same species, there was no seafood (people-pork a priori does not happen in an Arab country), good side dishes. I don’t understand those who criticize the hotel’s food - it’s not De Luxe or ultra, and the hotel doesn’t cost so much to demand grilled lobsters, and our breakfasts also don’t consist of 10 courses at home. You can always find something tasty. There was not enough fruit, and the only thing that was terrible was coffee, and everywhere, so if you are a coffee lover, take good coffee and a kettle with you. We drove through several 4 * -4 + hotels and believe me - this hotel chain is one of the best, especially since you can go to different restaurants for a change, since Sea Garden has the smallest restaurant. Drinks are also normal - no one diluted anything, beer is poured in front of you from a bottle, and the rest is of good quality, drinking water is bottled around the clock. And if you want to bring you faster and normal portions, do not regret tipping the bartenders, the vast majority of them are wonderful guys . In general, the staff pleasantly surprised me - in comparison with the last trip to the Sea Club, the level of service has become much better. I have never seen a manager in any hotel who constantly and every day approaches all vacationers and writes down all the problems and wishes that arise to improve the hotel’s service, but here I encountered this for the first time.
The only problem of the restaurant is the intermittent queue, but it’s hard to call it a problem either - there is a manager at the entrance to the restaurant and quickly seating everyone, escorting them personally to the table. This is much better than you yourself will look for a free and served table, but there were queues only during the "peak".

Although many people write about this, but still, take all the necessary medicines with you, it’s better to insure yourself at home and be calm than buying at the Coldrex hotel for 10 euros and then of dubious quality. And no one is safe from cuts and scratches on corals.
And most importantly, this is a good mood and positive, of course, you can find fault with the wrong view from the window or the blackout for no more than 15 minutes, or suddenly one poorly washed plate, then the question arises - is this against the background of everything else, and there are main ingredients for a good holiday? Believe me, the hotel is really wonderful, mostly Germans and British rested in Sea Garden, and this is already an indicator and everyone with whom we talked said that they would also like to come there.
Since there are very few reviews about Sea Garden, I had to write quite a lot and if you have any questions about the hotel, I will definitely answer
