“With this money you can get much better hotel in Egypt”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I read the reviews before my trip on January 2012. I didn't exept anything special, but I was still surpriced about the low quality. I've travelled dozen times in Egypt and this was definetely the worst hotel I've been. Basically everything is ok, but when days passed, I was more and more unpleased about the place. I left 50 LE for the room cleaner the second day to do bit better job, but it seems that it wasn't enough as we got no soap or shampoo, toilet seats weren't cleaned and cleaning was generally quite low quality.

Room was supposed to be 120-130 sqm, we got one with 60-70sqm, quite small but generally ok, as it was used only for sleeping.

All Inclusive was the worst -and sadly - we took it. One buffet with similar food every day. Not too many options to choose from. Hotel has nice Movenpick-trolleys; they are empty and each child can get one lemon icecream per day from freezer. Pizzacorner was inactive all the time, I don't know when it's used last time. Looks like never.

Internet was a rip-off. you have to buy 1 or 2 hour tickets (30-50 LE) from lobby and it only works at the lobby. No internet at the rooms.

There was no any activity for children or adults at the daytime. At the evening one "nighclub" had some cheaply arranged program.

Staff was mainly tired. I got the impression they were tired of the tourists. First few days I gave 5 LE tip every time I asked for a lemonade / drink but after a while I gave up as it didn't lead to any better service. Again, service level was way worse than in any other place I've been in Egypt.

Hotel has 2 beaches (together with other hotels); coral and sandy. Coral is nice if you want to snorkel or dive and you can get soft drinks with all inc. Sandy beach, however, was like from low-cost-movie-from-70's and all inc (soft drinks) was just an old freezer behind the toilet. I recommend NOT to take all inclusive, as there are plenty of good restaurants near by. We ended up eating out quite a lot.
My experience is that you can get much better place with the same money. I cannot find any reason to go to this hotel. Avoid, or if you go, don't expect anything related to word "quality".

First time in eygpt. Should have booked a transfer to the hotel as it was alot of hassle getting a cab, bit of a rip off. The hotel was nice and many of the staff very friendly especially in the resturant. The chef made us some biscuits to bring home with us which was a lovely surprise. The food was good, clean sheets and towels everyday. Every night and morning they would spray insect repellent around the complex which was good no bites all holiday. The only thing which we didnt like is that outside the hotel there is a few shops which the men do keep on about going into there shops and taxis stopping us every 5 minutes. On the whole a very relaxing holiday

“great time”

had 10 days all inclusive at mexicana sharm resort november 2011.
i can honestly say the staff really cannot do enough for you.
From the moment you check in to when unfortunately you have to check out, you are well looked after.
Hani and his staff are excellent.
Hani (the owner) seems to be everywhere you go and he`s there before you, making sure everything is in order.
Arafa is always on hand ( known as the yo yo man) he will organise the most romantic evening beach meal for you. well worth doing.
Ashraf will attend to all your drinking needs at the pool bar and has a speciality of fresh mint tea (just ask).
Mohamad in the restaurant is like an egyptian version of the bar tender in the sitcom benidorm, he`s well funny.
the food is excellently prepared and well lush.
bbq at restaurant area is cushty, but personally i would eat it in the restaurant because stray cats will wander around outside.
get to the upstairs bar for the karaoke, have a few all inclusive drinks first & try to get the yo yo man to start it off!!
a must while you are there is to go and swim with the dolphins, which you can arrange with the resident excursion man (romany) or your rep.
have a good one

“The room, the food and surroundings fine but ....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

14 days from jan. 3rd. 2011. We were very pleased with our spacious room, the food, the very beautifull surroundings in the hotel (lots of flowers), the cleanlyness and the waiters in the main restaurant.

But the waiters in the poolbars were to lazy and the drinks (exept the beer and wine) were not good. No workable Internet (if you did not have your own laptop).

But all in all - to the price we will be pleased to come back.

Room Tip: I think all rooms are good, but in wintertime get a room located against south
