Me and two friends have just returned from this hotel, we are all 25 years old and the hotel caters for all ages. However saying this the children could get bored, the pool is not huge but you are 20 seconds from the beach so thats ok.
The major problem people have with the hotel is the food… I have done many all inclusives and this is a common problem. Whilst I never got food poisoning nor did anyone I spoke to it was not great, although I know a lot of people who did really like the food. I have to admit I wasn’t a fan – I ate a lot of potato’s and pasta, the desert was good though.
In my opinion it was great that the beer was poured out of a bottle – could never be watered down and was good quality. People moan about plastic cups – it is that for your safety – no one wants broken glass on the beach or around the pool nor do you want to dodge glass in flip flips in the bar area. The music wasn’t incessant and loud in the bar – if it got loud they would happily turn it down. As for someone saying the hotel was under the flight path – I heard 2 planes in 7 days and that was on a Tuesday at 2pm hardly complaint worthy.
The beds are fairly hard but I never had a bad nights sleep, shower was good heat and power, rooms cleaned daily and was always clean hotel. People moaned about mosquito spraying in evening – this is for your benefit and happens in every country I have been to! There are flies around the pool in the day but again this has happens all over Egypt – and ive been a few times! The beach is virtually fly free and has a nice breeze.
There is an abundance of water sports from the beach guy Bonzo – nice guy and gives good discount but the English will always pay more as we are more affluent than the Russians who go there. I paid £20 for quad bikes with no speed restrictions and could also do jumps and slides – no where else will let you, £7 for ringo’s, £50 to have speed boat for an hour (that is for a group not per person) and you get to drive and it was £20 for 2 turns of water skiing. Russians pay about 70% of this. There was also very little hassle from shop keepers in Sharm old town which was 5 mins away.
Na’ama Bay is 10 mins taxi it’l be about £4 but you can get it for £2.50 – we were just lazy and couldn’t be bothered to haggle! Never a problem getting one to or from hotel at any time of day. Nightlife is amazing – Na’ama Bay has Pacha, Little Buddha and Hard Rock as clubs – mainly house music with some R&B, then there are English bars Camel and Tavern and some smoking places. If you are there for nightlife (like me) its great, on Wednesday’s get in a cab to El Fanar – beach party starts at 12 (get there at 12 too) and is brilliant, its not on sand so don’t worry about clothes (£4 from hotel) and Dol Che Vita on Friday’s is a foam party – outdoor club that is amazing – about £5 in cab. Drink prices are about £2 a bottle of beer and £3 large spirit and mixer and £5-£7 for a cocktail. Not great value to be honest. Clubs are £7 - £15 to get into after 12, free for ladies and guys get money back in drinks vouchers.
I love Egypt and will be back next year.. to this hotel, probably not but it was a close call between this and Sharm Holiday, but Sharm Holiday’s was bigger and had an entertainment programme, whilst not superb it was fun and I made friends with entertainment so much so I have followed them around Europe!! All in all it was a good hotel with great guests and the different nationalities mixed well and we were out on nights with Russians and Americans, I would recommend this hotel and bar the food was really good value! Also have to give special mention to the workers, they are always smiling even though they work 21 days and have a week off. Reception was great and so were bar staff. Don’t be nervous if you have booked this hotel you will have a great time!
