Bad experince
Location
No air-condition - bad room services -
enjoyed all in all
Meals is very good some pools staff is not welcomed with the guest beach staff is very welcomed restaurant staff is very welcomed the hotel is very clean and well
Pool staff is not dealing well with client crowded in the restaurant bathrooms of the room is not clean well toilets and beach facilities is not well prepared
a very bad experience.
location, beach, pool was very good
1-room AC was broken after changing the room for 3 times each one has an issue like ( bad bathroom smeel, away from the beach, has 2 beds not one large bed, etc...). 2- the towels was not clean and one of them has cutting all over it, and i told the receptionist about all this stuff and nothing happen or changed. 3- there was no snacks at any time while we arr charged for all inclusive not full board. 4- the drinks quality was very bad (soft drinks)

A unique location - a good beach with a view of the Tiran Island and 100 meters from the Soho Square. An excellent front end staff (Nina, Ira, Mohamed, Lyuda and many others), who organised two great celebrations and our enjoyable stay in general.
Some property require a repair and upgrade.
Excellent Xmas and New Year...

The only good thing is the diving spot in the property
The room is horrible, low level of cleanliness, the facilities are extremely poor.... Similar price like the good nearby hotels with no value at all
Very poor hotel, doesn’t worth...

Great local next to Soho square ..great house reef for snorkeling or diving
Food was a bit off ..all bread was hard like not fresh bread.. On all meals not soft fresh bread..
Most of the staff is very nice and friendly. We had a great empathy with the Egyptian people. Unfortunately, some of them do not speak English, but only Arabic and Russian, of course. The village is very well maintained, practically attached to Soho squere. The view of the room is very beautiful. Generous and good buffet breakfast. Good buffet dinner for 150 Egyptian pounds (€ 7.80), including alcoholic drinks! A walkway leads to a beautiful coral reef.
The Resort looks like a 5-star hotel, but many things did not meet my expectations. I think the room dates back to the 90s. The bathroom dustbin, the toilet brush, all rusted. To remove the brush, I should have kept the base with my hand. The fridge was just 30 years old ... Split, without the internal door rod and not very roomy. The shower soap dispenser was broken, it was replaced after 2 days. The first time they brought me two small bars of soap. The terrace table was broken and unstable, although I had asked to replace it, it was never done. The village was very well maintained, but unfortunately populated only by Ukrainian, Byelorussian and Russian tourists. We couldn't socialize with anyone, because the Russians only speak Russian. On the beach there was Russian music, the speacker was obviously Russian, the animation was Russian and in the evening it was impossible to take part in it. In short, we stayed 3 days in Russia!
The dinner was okay, the location is very good
The room was very old dated, the bathroom was the worst ever, I can give the hotel 3 stars by max, because of the room, the aircondition was not working, there were no towels in the room, and i called the reception 4 times, they sent the towels at 5 pm!!!, one day they didnt clean the room, they never put shampoo or shower gel in the room, the food was okay, the beach was good, the sunbeds are so bad, they are so old and not comfortable at all.
Staff All inclusive
Wi-Fi
the check in experience very convenient
the check out was so bad the staff were not considered that I have a flight to catch although I have completed my payment at check in because I have to leave to airport at 3 am, I left at 3.30 because they were so slow to complete check out and also wouldnt let my taxi move for nothing. I went inside again to the reception for nothing. I was really disappointed.
On a plus note because I needed to look for positives, it’s fantastically located at the entrance to Soho square for shopping and nightlife, plus only 10 minutes from the airport.
Welcome to the dirty run down rooms of the island view hotel. I booked a 5 star hotel not a 5 thumbs down hotel. What we found was totally unacceptable by any standards. Room 1 bathroom bath [advertised as hot tub] was old, dirty, and mouldy. The toilet had urine stains on it and the pan hadn’t seen any bleach and was black at the bottom. The hairdryer was untouchable unless held with a tissue, and then you wouldn’t want to touch the bin. The phone was deep in dust. The living room had a TV with a screen so dirty you would need to polish to see the screen clearly, and as for the sofa, it was broken, it was dirty, it had been left as it was last sat on, and lifting the cushioning was a mistake! In the bedroom we couldn’t open a single draw – who know what would have been inside if we did. The veranda had a dirty rusty table that was only good enough for the scrap man to take away. We changed rooms and on a plus point we overlooked the pool and sea, the veranda table was acceptable and the bathroom was old but cleaner. But again the filthy conditions were evident, dirty floor skirting, dirty tv stand, stained and dirty sofa, dirty tables to the extent I put a D in the dust but it never got cleaned anyway. As for the chair it was that old and dirty. The cleaning guy seems to be around all day and is helpful, but he doesn’t seem to have been issued any training, a mop and bucket or any polish. The sun loungers at this hotel, they are old, worn, discoloured but they match with every sun umbrella tat is broken or ripped in some way, but at least they seem the same age as the this worn and ripped towels being issued – I really hope they publish these pictures. The currency is about 22 Egypt £ to the British £ and I think when they chose the plastic glasses the targeted 22 glasses to a British pint, could someone tell them beer is not served in shot glasses and certainly not in a glass smaller then a packet of cigarettes, the paper coffee cups are bigger.
Low quality
Food quality was really high tasty food with variety of choises Beach and reef are amazing with clear water Animation team are so friendly with guest and kids I really enjoyed the mexican show
Magnificent location but worest staff!! They are rude especially reception guys First they left my long time to get my room Second they ask you to pay for anything If you lost the room key then you have to pay 70$ for rest key not made of gold!!! No room service or towels until u pay either hotel charge or tips The reception guy was very cold without responce when i told that my doughter is lost during the night inside the hotel at midnight They give worest rooms to booking residence with real view
Soho square only
Very Bad cooperation from all staff especially staff of Reception although they are apartheid ,Ex.they put Ukraine people
The only thing was the view and location
Bathroom was not really clean , you can see green algae between tiles, trash can corroded and not clean. Furniture is old and the mattress is very uncomfortable feels like thousands of people slept on it, pillows as well, aircondition not working properly, in general i felt like staying in a room in the basement.
Everything
Nothing
Beach was awesome, animation team was very active and helpful
Interior furniture is old
Overall, it was nice stay and no issues.
The animation team made it a lot better than it was.
Excellent location between a beach with coral reef and Soho Squire with a lot of fun. Friendly staff that is able to solve your problems (if any). Fantastic parties for celebrating Christmas and New Year 2019.
Some hotel facilities are in need of repairing and upgrading.
Beach and location are great!!
Rooms that are not Sea View should have more maintenance. Food could be better
Close to SOHO Square which is full of cafes and restaurants Nice Beach
Food No proper coffee No internet in rooms and very poor in reception
