Incredible house reef for snorkeling right off the jetty
Seven outdoor pools including kids' areas with water slides
Walking distance to SOHO Square's vibrant nightlife and shopping

Snel Overzicht: The beachside rooms are newly renovated and gorgeous, but the mountainside rooms are dated, and the sheer size of the resort means you'll be doing a lot of walking.

Beoordeeld door @the_world_around_my_eyes: I loved my stay here! The gardens are beautiful, but the real star is the beach. Walking down to the water and seeing that clear blue Red Sea every day was incredible. The pier is perfect for jumping right into the snorkeling.

The hype

Great value for the location and snorkeling, but service and room quality vary wildly depending on which side of the resort you're on.

Reality check

The food at the main buffet gets repetitive, and the 'private beach' is quite small and gets crowded quickly.

You are an avid snorkeler or scuba diver
You want multiple pool options to keep the kids entertained
You prefer being close to SOHO Square's restaurants and entertainment

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud

7.5

Housekeeping: Generally attentive with fun towel art, but some older rooms suffer from missed spots and inconsistent restocking of amenities.
Bathroom hygiene: Renovated Beachside bathrooms are clean and modern, but Mountainside bathrooms have reports of broken fixtures and worn grout.
Maintenance: The newer side is well-kept, but the older Mountainside rooms show their age with peeling paint, noisy ACs, and occasional broken furniture.
Linens & towels: Beds feature comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets and hypoallergenic bedding, though beach towels can sometimes run out during peak hours.
Odors & scents: Mostly fresh sea breeze, but a few isolated complaints of musty smells in the older, unrenovated ground-floor rooms.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.

Is the beach sandy?

There is a small sandy area for lounging, but access to the water is mostly via a floating jetty over the coral reef to protect it.

What's the difference between the two sides of the hotel?

The Beachside is newer, renovated, and closer to the water. The Mountainside is older, has larger pools, and requires a shuttle or a long walk to reach the beach.

Is the Wi-Fi actually free?

Yes, but it's limited to 24 hours per day and the connection is notoriously spotty, especially in the rooms.

How far is it from the airport?

It's a very quick 10-15 minute drive (about 9 km) from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport.

Can I walk to SOHO Square?

Yes, it's only about a 10-15 minute walk to SOHO Square for shopping, dining, and the famous dancing fountain.

Are the pools heated?

Yes, some of the seven outdoor pools are heated during the cooler winter months.

Tips van Insiders

✨
Skip the main buffet for dinner and use your vouchers for the Cala Restaurant & Bar for great Mediterranean food and sea views.
✨
Grab your beach towels and claim a sun lounger early, as the small beach area fills up fast in the morning.
✨
If you're on the Mountainside, use the free golf cart shuttle to get to the beach instead of walking in the heat.
