We booked a deluxe sea view room and got a good size room overlooking the sea and the pool. I contacted the hotel in advance to make sure we can have a double bed and not 2 twin beds, and we had 2 twin beds! The hotel (rooms, grounds etc…) is very clean, the beds are a bit tired though.
The staff is very friendly and helpful but the animation team is a pain, they played the same CD every day at the same time for the same activities. This is not a full all inclusive as you have only 5 cocktails in the all inclusive menu and we paid 5 pounds for a mediocre mojito the 1st evening, but we learnt our lesson. All juices are colored and sweet water. The food is very average, that is the main con of this place, the Egyptian dishes are better as well as olives and dates. After a couple of days I was so bored with the buffet that we bought some fresh fish they cooked at the bar in the evening and it was very good. The main restaurant feels like a canteen and the staff is taking your plate/ glass/ whatever as soon as you put it back on the table. Dinner was not a relaxing time for me.
The pool is very nice and heated, we enjoyed the same relaxing corner every day. We did not go to the beach as it was too crowded and you probably need to get up at 6am to have a sun lounge. The weather was really good, sunny every day but not too warm.
You have a lot of Russians and French, mainly families or couples. I think we will be going back to Sharm but not to the same hotel because we rarely go twice to the same place and there is nothing outstanding there that would justify another stay.
