7.8/10

Overall, I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The location is stunning, right on the coral reef which makes for exceptional snorkeling. The staff was genuinely attentive and ensured my comfort throughout the stay. However, the food left a lot to be desired, mostly repetitive and lacking variety. While the rooms were clean, they could definitely use some renovations. Despite these shortcomings, the positive aspects of my experience made it worthwhile.

I had a frustrating experience at this resort. The room I initially received was dated and far from the luxury I expected, with issues like broken lamps and a fridge that had seen better days. Although the location was peaceful and perfect for relaxation, the service was disappointing, especially the staff's attitude. However, the dining offered repetitive food options that could use improvement.

7.8/10

I left the hotel feeling quite conflicted. On one hand, the beach area was stunning and the resort staff, particularly Saied, Mustafa, and Ahmed, provided an amazing level of service. On the other hand, the main restaurant was a chaotic experience with overcrowded seating and subpar food, leading to an unpleasant dining experience. While I enjoyed the beautiful beach and friendly service, I would hesitate to recommend this hotel mainly due to the dining issues.

I had a lovely sea view during my stay, and a big shoutout to Raghab, who really took care of our cleaning needs. However, the food left a lot to be desired with limited variety and taste, and I wasn't impressed with the room's outdated appearance and maintenance issues. Overall, the service was good thanks to a few dedicated staff members, but the dining experience wasn't great.

Joseph

United Kingdom, September 2024

6.6/10

While the hotel has some redeeming features such as a beautiful view and a decent dining experience, the overall impression is marred by the staff's aggressive sales tactics and the subpar room conditions. I found myself longing for a more relaxing holiday rather than feeling overwhelmed and pressured. It's a mixed bag, really - great location and some friendly staff, but overall, not quite the getaway I was hoping for.

Rooms

The rooms were quite dated and a bit cramped, with some issues like leaky showers and a lack of plugs for the sink. However, they were clean, which was a positive.

Dining

Dining was a mixed experience; while the Egyptian food and salad bar were enjoyable, the overall variety was lacking, making meals feel repetitive after a while.

Facilities

The pool and beach facilities are nice but can get crowded and loud due to the constant marketing from staff.
