Hilton Sharks Bay Sharm El Sheikh. Hilton Sharks Bay Resort – Reviews

We rested in this hotel at the end of November 2012, together with my husband. I have long wanted to visit this hotel, because... We vacationed several times in neighboring Concord, and the reviews about it were all simply excellent. We arrived and checked in. The room suited us, in building 5 on the first line (this is the very center of the first line). Everything in the room is good, everything you need is there. No balcony. There are 2 Russian channels on TV. Let's go have lunch. I didn't like the restaurant on line 1 at all. Maybe because we arrived late and we were finishing lunch...

Have a good day!!! We stayed at the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel from 12/28 to 01/06/13. the overall impression is neither bad nor good. I didn't like the hotel itself. attitude towards Russians wants to be better. There were already few of us, for some reason the British, Americans and Poles come to this hotel. I’ve been to Egypt six times, five of them in Hurghada. In winter, we decided to go to Sharmal Sheikh, on the recommendation of the tour operator, who said + and that the temperature is higher and the sea is warmer. Indeed, the sea is warm, the sun is hot, but the hotel and staff....

We stayed at the hotel as a family (four adults with a six-year-old child). Operator Anex Tour. Rating 5: met, delivered to the hotel without delay, minute by minute. We checked in very quickly and took into account all our wishes. They gave us white bracelets - we had previously stayed at other Hilton hotels. We had two rooms next to the door between the rooms (1st line, 10th building, 3rd floor overlooking the sea, pool, children's playground). The rooms are in excellent repair, everything worked. They cleaned very well, replenished the supply of water, tea and...

Hotel reviews 2012 of the year

been to this Hilton Sharks hotel Bay Resort 4* September October, I won’t write everything about the pros, about the cons the hotel is located on the slope of a mountain, walking uphill at 35 degrees is not very good, but everyone walks, it doesn’t depend on where you are staying because the restaurant and the sea are at different ends of the hotel, and there is a bus but not from the beach, you have to get to it approximately like going up to the 5th floor and standing in the heat, so people with poor health have nothing to do. the beach is nowhere, as they wrote, 4 umbrellas, the rest as you wish. sand is not sand but sharp...

We stayed at the hotel for the fifth time. Before this we rested on New Year. We went for the first time with a small child, so having a warm pool was a must. At our request, we were accommodated in a 2-story building next to the central pool on the first line. The buildings are of course very old, although everything in the room worked fine. But the sockets are a problem; if you want to charge your phone, you have to unplug the table lamp. On the second line there are new buildings and one large swimming pool, by the way, also heated...

Hi all! We returned from Hilton Sharks Bay a week ago. My story will be useful to those who are going to this hotel for the second time. Check-in: the arrival was early, and even during the Arabian holidays, the hotel was 100% full, so we had to wait for our room from 8 to 12 in the morning. When receiving the bracelets, they indicated that it was the second time and gave a letter from the hotel (it comes to the post office if you filled out the hotel application form) - they gave it to the whites without any questions. By the way, Russian girls Natalya and Taisiya work at the reception, let them know that this is your second time, they...

“I would return to this hotel again. So much for 4 stars. So much for the Hilton, gentlemen!” This is how my first review of Hilton ended. And so I returned to it again) I didn’t want to write a review, but I decided to drop a couple of lines for reporting. Many people know that this winter in Egypt was, let’s say, not hot. Therefore, the choice of hotel fell on the previously tested Hilton SB, since the hotel is located in the rather warm Sharma Bay. The Intourist pleased us with discounts at Hilton and we bought a 15-day tour from him...

Hi all. I’ll start my story with the fact that we decided to celebrate the New Year in Egypt =) Warm =) We flew in a group. The trip was from 12/27/11 to 01/04/12. We flew out from Yekaterinburg, the company that met us was Intourist. Our hotel guide, Honey, is a rude person. Doesn't react adequately to Russian speech at all. A conflict occurred, as a result of which we had to complain to the Intourist company. The conflict was smoothed over by a meeting with the company’s tourism director. Airline - "Transaero" We flew to...

Hotel reviews 2011 of the year

Until this moment, I was in Thailand and 2 times in Turkey... But for a very long time I wanted to visit Sharm. Mainly because of the sea... And then such an opportunity arose... Choosing a hotel took a long time. I consulted travel agencies, read a bunch of reviews... And we chose Hilton Sharks Bay. And I don’t regret it one bit, quite the contrary. I received much more than I expected!!! The holiday was a complete 5+ success!!! Contingent. Much has already been written about him. We lived on the second line. I could be wrong, but it seemed to me...

I vacationed at the Hilton from 11/28/2010 to 12/05/2010. I haven’t visited this site for a long time, so I’m a little late with my review. I looked at Hilton’s page and was filled with nostalgia, and I wanted to add my positive 5 kopecks. in favor of the hotel. So, for 4, a wonderful hotel.. The staff works like bees, if you don’t want to communicate, then no one will intrude. Check-in, we were brought to the hotel at half past eleven, I come to the reception with a guide, and there, my dears, about 20 Englishmen and Germans are tiredly waiting for...

Friends! This is a great hotel with great rooms, food and location. Upon check-in, we were checked in within 15 minutes. They also took into account my request for a room with a terrace or balcony and a view of the pool. We were given a number on the second line, but this only benefited us, because... the numbers on the second (new) line are very good. The room has everything you need: mini-fridge (water was always available), safe (free), shower and bath, hairdryer, iron, alarm clock, plasma. The room was cleaned daily and swans and flowers were made...

We rested from 12.01 to 26.01.11 for the second time at the hotel. At the reception (Arabs) they didn’t recognize us (although last time they put us on the computer!) and tried to put us in building 3 (not renovated), with almost all the windows facing the Concorde wall. I refused immediately, explained that this was our second time and we were being taken “for viewing” to the fifth building, we were going up the same stairs (well, I think again room 511 without a balcony!!), but miraculously they opened room 512, everything was fine (see photo ), we return to the reception, put on white bracelets and begin...

We stayed at Hiltone from December 3 to December 14. Hosted by Intourist, we flew with Transaero from Sheremetyevo. Check-in, boarding the plane, everything is fine. However, this company Lately is guilty of sending Boeing 747s with 660 seats, and the toilets in them do not work. We were lucky enough to fly on such a plane. Not only were the seats so close to each other that it was difficult for a normal person to fit in, but by the end of the flight there were puddles in the tail, and there was still that smell. Received by Intourist, brought...

We visited from 12/24/2010 to 01/02/2011. This is not the first time in Egypt and believe me, there is something to compare with. We chose a hotel within a month. CHOSEN. Tour operator "Pegasus". Let's start with the fact that we arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh at three o'clock in the morning and boarded the bus. And they immediately asked the representative of Pegasus the question “is the sea open?” The answer was unequivocal - no, these are not my problems, but yours. Although on the Pegasus website, it was written absolutely the opposite. The mood was ruined. We arrived at the hotel. They carried the suitcases to the reception desk themselves...

Hotel reviews 2010 of the year

We have already vacationed in Sharm ten times. However, Hilton is the only hotel we decided to go to again. The location of the hotel is quite good. Nearby is the Soho district with fun shops and bars, there is somewhere to go out in the evening. You can buy, for example, fruit or a handful of topaz. The food for 4 is very varied. The sea is excellent, the corals are not bad, the shore is not very deep (4-5 m), there is access from the shore for children. The descent to the sea via stairs is not very long. The pontoon is short and comfortable. Recently...

Very good 4ka. The hotel is not given 5* because it only has one a la carte, no spa, only a sauna. Children under 16 years old are not allowed in the sauna and gym. Deluxe rooms are located on the second line. Second line, suitable for families with children....

We vacationed with my wife and 11-year-old son from October 1 to October 11, 2010. We are vacationing in Egypt for the 4th time. I had to go through Pegasus (although I really didn’t want to), because... For some reason, Tez Tour did not have a reservation for October 1st. First, Orenburg Airlines announced a flight on relatively new Boeing 737-800 aircraft via Domodedovo. But the day before departure, when we received the documents, it turned out that we were flying there with the Pegasus airline NORDWIND AIRLINES from Sheremetyevo-1, and back with Orenburg Airlines via...

We vacationed at the Hilton for the second year in a row, and just like last year, we really liked everything. At first we wanted to fly Tez from the Dnieper, but their standard rooms were no longer available, so we flew with Coral via Kiev. We decided to play it safe - before we went, we called the hotel, made sure that the room was reserved for us and asked to give us good number with a view of the sea in the main building. Our wish was fulfilled, the room was in the building where the reception was located overlooking the pool and the sea) The only thing that changed, in my opinion...

The hotel is good. We arrived at the hotel at 23-30, the paid day was gone, we are sorry. Pegasus - no. The standard was paid. We were seated within 10 minutes. The room was in the main building 9, the window overlooked the electric car parking lot. I didn’t like it, they promised to change it tomorrow. Late-night pizza, had a snack without any problems, bar until 2 a.m., took some alcohol from the road. The stress of the road is gone, everything is a vacation. They kept their promise, drove the car, looked at the license plate, everything was fine. Building 3, the middle, between the sea and the restaurant. First floor. Everything is very...

We rested in this hotel in May 2010 (from 05/09 to 05/17). There were two married couples. We really liked the hotel. We arrived after dinner had finished. At the reception they immediately became concerned about our food, although we said that everything was fine. While we were catching our breath in Chill-out, they filled out all the documents for us and prepared the keys. Well done guys. The service there is not bad, at least they try to resolve all problems that arise immediately, on the spot. For example, we were two married couples, we wanted to stay in a nearby...

The time budget allocated for vacation was very limited - 6 days, it was not possible to carve out even a week. We left Sharik at about 3 am. The flight was without delight or any particular complaints. We arrived at the airport where we were met by aborigines wearing hats tied over their ears! Of course, we weren’t expecting very warm weather, but seeing this picture we were prepared to freeze completely. They quickly filled out the forms and paid $15 each; passport control personally caused me slight embarrassment and resentment for my behavior...

I finally got to the computer. I really want to write about the work of the tour operator Pegasus. I hope my review will help many vacationers or at least warn about possible unpleasant adventures that can await them with Pegasus. We vacationed in Egypt in Sharm el Sheikh at the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel from May 11 to May 21, 2010. The hotel was just super, we were absolutely delighted, which cannot be said about the work of the tour operator. I have already vacationed in Egypt and Turkey more than once, flown with different tour operators, so I know...

I finally found the time to write a review. The three of us vacationed with friends from May 11 to May 21, 2010. We really liked the hotel. We still can’t understand why it has 4 stars, it is quite worthy of 5 stars, some 5 stars are simply “resting” in comparison with this hotel. The hotel has 2 lines. Upon check-in, we were offered a choice of 2 rooms, one standard on the 1st line and 1 on the 2nd line, but, as we were told at the reception, it was a luxury room, and they persuaded us to take a room on the 2nd line. We doubted it, because on line 2...

The hotel pleased many. Before that, we had been to Thailand, Italy, Spain several times, and only the birth of a child made us turn first to Turkey, and then to Egypt. And contrary to expectations after the Turkish good five, the Egyptian four did not disappoint us. Dispersal. We checked in at 12, although we arrived early in the morning. They offered a second line (although it is more expensive due to the deluxes), but apparently there are more people wanting to live on the first line. We were a group with a couple of friends - they all moved in a day...

Hello everyone!))) I was in this hotel from 02/22/10-02/28/10, almost everything was super. The holiday was a success))) People, take a good mood with you, and the rest is there. Anyone who remembers Lyokha, please respond!!!)))...

We were at Sharks Bay Resort from 01/05/2010 to 01/12/2010. In Egypt 2 times, we chose a hotel based on the principle “the best service for relatively little money.” We paid very much for the hotel, because... we flew on holidays (about 1000 USD per person), after the holidays and before it cost about 600 USD per person. 1. Service. Overall, I liked it. The entire staff is "built according to a line." Everyone smiles, asks how you are doing, wishes you a good day, etc. And absolutely everyone - from garbage collectors to administrators. ...

vacationed with a friend in November 2009. The hotel is good, although the first line is a bit old, in terms of the rooms. The second line is cooler, but it is empty and there are fewer people, everyone hangs out on the first line. It’s not bad, but it’s simply impossible to find free sun loungers on the beach after breakfast.. We went to check it out at seven in the morning. Well, it’s not surprising that there are two hotels on one beach... Especially knowing the smart-ass Russians who take up places both by the pool and on the beach (the towels are generally not counted) The animation is not bad, although monotonous, who cares what is he going for)) n...

We vacationed with a group from 12/27/09 to 01/2/2010. The hotel is excellent, ideal price-quality ratio, without pathos, but everything is very decent, the food, the territory, the pools, the location, the sea is super, the staff is polite. I recommend to everyone!...

Hotel reviews 2009 of the year

vacationed with friends in a large group. Not the first time in Egypt. I really liked the hotel, good reef, surprisingly polite staff don’t curse tips. The only let down was the animation, it was boring. I was glad that the beach was clean and there was always room, there was no crowd near billiards and tennis , and after the beach you can relax in the sauna and jacuzzi....

In general, all the reviews are really true. Natalie Tours - well done - everything is clear and fast. I really liked the guide - Elena, a pleasant and helpful girl. Helped me save money on fishing)) The hotel is good, but, of course, it’s still not a top five. But, of course, it is clear that they are trying. There were no problems with accommodation - we were placed quickly and in a normal room, and at the reception they asked our preferences - about the floor, etc. As a result, we were given on the 3rd floor in the main building (next to the main pool on 1 line...

I rested in mid-August 2009. The hotel is near the airport. Meeting party TEZ. Last year I flew with Coral and if you compare it, the guide on the bus has zero information. He doesn’t come with you to the hotel. I took him to the hotel and greeted me. The hotel guide has the feeling that he doesn’t need anything - the whole meeting - any questions - no, well then, goodbye. When leaving in the evening there is zero information. We called TEZ for 40 minutes and didn’t get through. At the reception they promised to solve the problem in the morning, which was done. In general, TEZ's rating is three...

We vacationed at Hilton Sharks Bay from July 12 to 19, together with a girl. Before our vacation, we read a bunch of reviews and decided to stay at Hilton. In general, we liked everything, with the possible exception of some small details, but this did not affect our impression of the hotel. One of the factors why we chose the Hilton was the minimum number of vacationers from the post-Soviet space. Tez Tour worked promptly on arrival, quickly delivered to the hotel. And what was our happiness when all the passengers...

First of all, I want to thank all the previous tourists who left their reviews on this hotel. After reading them, I decided to go there. I was on vacation from June 23 to June 30, 2009. I was in Egypt for the second time. The purpose of the vacation was to forget about everything and everyone, relax, gain strength, positivity, enjoy relaxation, the sea with fish, the sun! All recreation goals were achieved with 5 points. I really liked the hotel, compact, clean, well-maintained, beautiful. The staff is friendly and courteous. I was especially pleased that there was very little...

I read the reviews and am outraged by the dissatisfied ones. Some chose the second line, and then are indignant that the sea is far away. Others came to the reef with a small child and are unhappy with the lack of sandy entry into the sea....More ▾ I read the reviews and am outraged by the dissatisfied ones. Some chose the second line, and then are indignant that the sea is far away. Others came to the reef with a small child and are unhappy with the lack of sandy entry into the sea. Still others are looking for European-quality renovation... Well, oh well. Now about the good and the not so good.

If it were a 5, I would give 9, but for a 4, I would give 10 points. Now I understand that the stars don’t talk about anything. This is my first vacation in 4. Before this (5 different hotels) only 5's.

To be honest, I didn’t want to go to Egypt anymore. The sea is good, but “racial discrimination” bothered me terribly. When they run to the Arabs and Europeans at a gallop, but they don’t seem to notice you. And every year this was expressed more and more clearly. But my wife made a gift for her anniversary (although I insisted on a restaurant) and she was right (although I chose the hotel, not by chance, and not based on reviews).

Staff

The staff is great. Most likely, the work of the Hilton chain management is taking its toll. 6 years ago I vacationed at Hilton Waterfalls - everything was also great. Absolutely no discrimination. There is no distribution by color of the bracelet - Europeans have one color, the post-Soviet space another. Arabs and children have yellow bracelets (without alcohol). Everything is first come, first served at bars and restaurants. Many are indignant that they only gave one glass at the bar. I was the only one who saw this! times with a large crowd of people at the beach bar. But this was most likely due to a shortage of glasses. And so that it would be enough for everyone to set such a standard. So sometimes you just need to understand minor inconveniences as a human being.

The cleaning of the rooms is also excellent. They didn’t just make the bed and roll up the elephant, but wet cleaning is carried out. The glass door to the shower room was polished to a mirror shine. Yes, they left a dollar, although this is not at all necessary. But this is not because I wanted high-quality cleaning, but simply for human reasons. After all, workers receive very little money.

Once there was a small incident - they hung only one face towel. To avoid any complaints when checking out, I immediately contacted the reception. They apologized. They said that they did not have time to deliver clean linen from the laundry and that they would fix everything.

I’m not particularly picky about food, so I won’t write too much about it. There were crabs, squid, tuna (although my wife said that she would have cooked better tuna). We always came to eat in the second half. There was always enough. We did not experience any shortage of anything.

Sometimes, of course, you had to wait a little while the table was cleared and set. But believe me, waiters don’t walk around the hall. They run. Maybe the large population had an effect.

I did not visit a la carte restaurants.

Check-in, check-out

We arrived at the hotel at 8 am. According to the rules, check-in is at 14.00, but we were checked in at 11.

The flight was in the evening. No one took off the bracelets after the number was handed over, so you can freely use the bars. We left towels until we left the hotel.

Territory

The territory, of course, is inferior to the previous hotels in size (I’m talking about the 1st line. On the second line there is a large area with a huge, but shallow, 110cm pool). Quite densely built up. But on every free plot everything is planted with greenery.

Swimming pools

There seem to be 4 of them. One with a water slide. But deep, 195cm, only in the central one. The loud music in the central pool was a little annoying, but after a couple of days I got used to it and even dozed off to it.

Excellent, spacious room with a good bathroom. Maybe, of course, we came across one.

I won’t describe all the other advantages because... they are in previous reviews. And even so the text turned out to be big.

Now about the minuses (and this is the only one). Hotel management, if you read my review, pay attention to the cleaning of the beach in the coastal area. In the mornings, during high tide, “traces of cultural recreation” of pigs in human form are washed into the sea. Cigarette butts (although there are ashtrays), plastic and paper cups, etc. Honestly, it was painful to look at this sight, when over the pontoon in crystal clean water This “mixture” floats. Where it goes after that, I don’t know. Maybe they catch it with a net. I would remove the sun loungers and umbrellas from there. Maybe the “tourists” wouldn’t mess up like that.

There is a good saying: “You can take a person out of a village, but you can’t take the village out of a person.” Residents of rural areas, if you are not the kind of pigs who leave behind mountains of garbage, then this is not about you. Believe me, there are many more of these in the city.

This is my 6th visit to Sharm. All in different hotels. Not because it was bad there, but it’s just my nature to try something new. But this is the hotel I will most likely return to.

Hilton Sharks Bay Resort, Egypt, Sharm el-Sheikh, March 2016

Overall rating - 9.7/10

Accommodation - 10

I was on holiday with friends in the wonderful Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, at the Hilton Sharks hotel. We really liked this hotel. Built in oriental style, it has many picturesque arches and flowers. The hotel also has a very large and well-kept area. From there you can go straight to a large sandy beach. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff. We checked in quickly and were immediately offered lunch in a large restaurant. The hotel restaurant is decorated in light colors with columns. Pleasant music is playing in the hall, and it is at this moment that you realize that you have come here to relax. This hotel has several restaurants, bars and a terrace. The food there is varied and very satisfying. There is a large selection of meat and fish dishes, fresh vegetables and tropical fruits. Alcoholic drinks there are mainly paid for. But most of all we liked the Red Sea. It was precisely for him that we came there. The sea bottom is a little rocky. It was here, on sunbeds under an umbrella, on the beach, that our main vacation took place. And it was worth coming here!

Hello! At the end of February we vacationed with friends in Sharm el-Sheikh, at the Hilton Sharks hotel. The hotel is cozy, with a large and well-kept area, palm trees growing all around different types and heights. Checking in was quick; the guy at the reception offered us three rooms to choose from. Naturally, we chose an apartment with a sea view. The rooms here are spacious and bright. There is air conditioning, a hairdryer and a TV - everything worked properly. But the plumbing was a little worn out.
The hotel has a sandy white well-groomed beach with a gentle descent into the water. Sometimes there are sharp stones at the bottom. The beach is equipped with free umbrellas and sun loungers. There was also a bar where, in the midst of a hot day, we drank cold beer and delicious fruit cocktails. Occasionally some spots floated in the sea, but they did not bother us. We ate at the hotel restaurant. In the evenings they liked to besiege the lobby bar and, of course, the night disco bar. The entire staff is very welcoming and friendly; in general, we have not seen such a sensitive attitude towards guests for a long time. We tried all the services provided by the hotel: a sauna and some kind of oil massage. After such procedures, it’s as if I’ve lost 5-7 years. In general, there is a lot of entertainment on site: a gym and tennis for an additional fee. We received real pleasure and bliss from our vacation.

Overall rating - 6.3/10

Accommodation - 8

We vacationed in October 2015 together with my mother. The hotel is located near the airport (but there are almost no planes visible and absolutely no sound), on the route of the bus Hilton was the first, so the journey took about 10 minutes. We arrived at the hotel at 08:30, and received the bracelets with a fight at 11:00 (as we They explained at the reception that we are not entitled to breakfast (why, it is not clear (in all hotels they always give bracelets upon entry immediately, even if check-in is from 14:00). We wandered around the territory, went for a swim (sleepy and hungry, the room, naturally, had to wait until 14:00). Initially, they tried to accommodate us twice on the second line, although my preference was the usual standard on the first line, except for the first floor. When the conversation started to get louder, the administrator suddenly immediately found a room in the main building on the first line. Room 1042 (4th floor) - an excellent room with modern furniture, a large plasma TV with USB, a modern bathroom (with a shower) The room even had bathrobes and slippers (we asked other vacationers - they didn’t have them. There was also an ironing board and. iron. There is a hairdryer in the closet under the TV (we didn’t find it right away). From the terrace there is a view partly of the pool, partly even of the sea. 5 minutes walk to the sea. Having achieved our goal, we calmed down and forgot this misunderstanding. The next morning, arriving at the seaside before breakfast around 07:00, we were surprised - there were almost no empty seats at all!!! The beach is extremely small for the number of rooms! The sun loungers are 60 percent old and sagging, new mattresses need to be dealt with at 05-05:30 in the morning. I understand everything, but this is overkill. As a result, my mother went at 05:30 and took the sunbeds, but after 3-4 days there were more places, apparently there were more rooms available. In restaurants there was always a queue at the start of lunch and dinner, but we got used to going not to the beginning, but after about 40 minutes (when the hungriest were already full))). For dinner we always went to the second line - there is really more choice, the dishes are tastier and there are tables on the street, where, in addition to everything, they cooked food on the grill. There, near the tables in the evenings, there were various performances - dances, songs, etc. The second line was mainly inhabited by the British and Arabs. Russians are mostly young people. There weren’t very many families with children, since the hotel is not intended for families with children, there is almost no children’s menu, the beach has a lot of stairs, and the hotel itself is uphill and downhill, you can’t run with a stroller. In the restaurant on the first line, the food was quite mediocre, although everyone says that everything is the same in Egypt - for me, it was tastier in many hotels - in the albatrosses of Hurghada, in Makadi, for example. There were freshly squeezed juices, but you had to press them yourself... I didn’t want to bother. The fish are generally a problem, just fatty sole and that’s it, there was almost no fruit, I saw guava a couple of times, sliced bananas a couple of times and half-green oranges and green melon. Mostly apples. On the second day of our stay, the wiring in the room shorted and every few minutes something exploded in the ceiling. We turned to the reception for help, went there 4 times in the evening, and were afraid to enter the room. Again I had to raise my voice, only after that a guy like an electrician came...without tools. He picked something in the ceiling and called for help. They only fixed it the next day. In a word, this hotel has a good area, as a plus - the proximity of Soho Square, and the weak points are the reception staff and cleaners (there is no cleaning - both in the rooms and in the toilets on the territory - tips were always left, but the cleaning is still unimportant and swans we didn’t do crocodiles) and a small beach (you need to renew the sun loungers and buy new towels - many are old and torn in places), but food for four is basically okay.

Sea, Soho, heat 50 degrees

We rested in this hotel with my husband for May holidays. We lived on the first line, near one of the children's pools. The first line is very green, close to the sea, the beaches are multi-level, there were a lot of sun loungers, but not all of them were equipped with normal mattresses and umbrellas. The pontoon is 20 meters long, the corals are beautiful, there are various fish, but we didn’t see any turtles or moray eels. I liked the work of the animation team, the guys actively invited me to various events (stretching, exercises, dancing, water polo, evening shows). The room is really old and shabby: somewhat shabby furniture, air conditioning with a strong freon smell, a creaky lock on the door. The cleaning was not always done well; we had to check the availability of bottled water and towels in the bathroom after almost every cleaning. I was pleased with the food at the hotel, it was plentiful and varied, although some fresh fruit would have been nice. Sometimes the familiar attitude of the waiters during dinner or lunch was annoying. The hotel is close to Soho, you can walk for a couple of evenings, but then you get bored. Overall, we had a good rest, but from a hotel of this class you expect better attitude and service.

Having arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh, all tourists can’t wait to check into a hotel as soon as possible and dive into the gentle waves of the Red Sea. Already at the airport, vacationers begin to look around, dreaming that the transfer to their place of residence will take place as soon as possible. The most impatient even choose a hotel as close as possible to the place of arrival, in Sharks Bay. This area of Sharm el-Sheikh is located just 5 km from the airport, so the journey to its hotels is quick. But this is not the main advantage of Shark Bay (this is how the name is translated). The main thing is a real coral paradise, which a tourist finds himself in by simply going out to any of the beaches of the bay. If you've dreamed of seeing colorful fish and coral reefs, snorkeling to your heart's content and making your first dives underwater, Sharks Bay is your choice!

Shopping and shops

For the convenience of tourists in Sharm el-Sheikh, literally everything has been thought out. Each district of the city has its own entertainment, shops, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants in addition to hotel ones. In Sharks Bay, the vast majority of such establishments are located in Soho Square (sometimes our compatriots call it Soho Square). It is located close to major hotels (near Savoy and Four Seasons) and is a huge shopping and entertainment center, perhaps one-story and under open air. All traditional souvenirs, from papyri to towels, can be bought in the local shops. True, prices there are slightly higher than in Naama Bay, so many tourists prefer to shop there and have fun in Soho.

Beaches of Sharks Bay

The beaches in this bay are amazing. Real coral plateaus start from the very shore and extend quite far into the sea. Therefore, most of the beaches in the bay are equipped with pontoon bridges that extend beyond the reefs. You will go on it, put on a mask and snorkel and go ahead, explore the underwater jungle. Although the clear water of Aulya Bay makes it easy to see an amazing amount of marine life just from the pontoon. On some beaches, special paths for children have been cleared for safe and comfortable entry into the water, but, nevertheless, swimming in Sharks Bay is not for children. Even at high tide, you won’t be able to swim above the corals on the circle; you’ll either have to enter the water from a pontoon or confine yourself to hotel pools.

A little about the organization of the beaches themselves. The entire coast of the bay is divided into hotel sectors, which are monitored by the staff of the adjacent hotel. Many of them are located on hills and their beaches are organized on terraces. Naturally, the first line of sun loungers is the most popular. To occupy it you have to get up early or buy your place. Beach workers occupy sunbeds for “booked” vacationers. Recently, the number of hotels where staff earn extra money in this way has been growing. In fairness, it should be noted that you will always find a place on the beach, you just need to indicate that you are a guest of this hotel.

Free buses and golf carts with awnings go to all beaches from second-line hotels. The walk is not long, 15-20 minutes maximum, but in the heat, especially after warming up in the sun, returning back to the room on your own two feet is not very pleasant.

Entertainment and attractions in Sharks Bay

What can you do to entertain yourself in Sharks Bay, besides hotel animation? You can use the hotel's sports fields and courts, visit the sauna or steam room (in many hotels these are free for their guests), take a course of spa treatments and massages (here you will have to pay extra). You can always go have fun in Soho: watch a historical film in Russian or a feature film in English in the cinema, ride a indoor skating rink, sit in the bar or by the light and sound fountain. Or go to Naama Bay (15 km from Sharks Bay), which never sleeps. Almost all hotels have free bus, carrying tourists back and forth.

Diving in Sharks Bay

Snorkeling fans love Sharks Bay for the opportunity to see the underwater world in all its glory every day. Even the abundance of vacationers does not scare away the fish, among which you can easily find large Napoleons, stingrays and dangerous lionfish, surgeon fish, and moray eels. Therefore, no matter how tempting it may seem, do not try to touch the sea inhabitants with your hands.

If you have long dreamed of diving, there is no better place to acquire the necessary skills. There are dive centers at every hotel; experienced instructors will teach you the basics of the skill and accompany you on the dive. You can literally dive from the shore, there are practically no currents, the average depth is about 20 m, visibility is excellent (the same 20 m). Well, there is something to see! There are vast sand canyons, varied vegetation, and coral jungles with their inhabitants. More experienced divers can go on night dives that are even more spectacular.
