Ok, I'm going to caveat this review with the fact that this place is amazing value for money. Some things to consider if you choose to stay here: The place is very clean. The room is cleaned daily and the cleaner will ask you if you're happy with it every day. We started off with twin beds that my partner and I pushed together. The next day, the cleaner had made them up like a double and secured the middle so it didn't split apart with was a thoughtful thing to do. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. All inclusive is not as flexible as you might imagine. No beverages (even water) are served before 10 am, with alcohol only after 12. The selection of drinks is restricted to local spirits and beer on tap. You need to pay for cans. Beer on tap served in tiny plastic cups which means you need to keep going up to get drinks. [ Side point: the amount of plastic waste that the hotel generates is very sad to behold. Single use plastic cups, plastic spoons and straws. It would be better if guests were given a reusable plastic glass that they could refill during their stay. Sharm is so well known for it's beautiful sea life that it is a real shame that some of this may get into the ocean.] No snacks apart from a little afternoon tea of waffles and ice cream at about 3 pm. Don't expect to get crisps, ice creams etc willy nilly. There is a shuttle bus to 'Temple' Beach. I wouldn't bother. The beach is shabby, the staff pushy, the toilets a health hazard with no running water ( therefore no flushing toilets) and the swimming area is about 20 feet by 20 feet because there are so many motorised boats. Take a cab to Sharks bay instead. About £5 and it's stunning. Alternatively, the reef beach is a 10 minute walk down the road and the swimming/snorkelling there is amazing. It's closed in rough waters, though so check before you pay. It's not free to swim. The shuttle bus also goes to the Old town and Naama bay on alternative evenings. We loved the old town but hated Naama bay. Be prepared for pushy and rude shop keepers, sensory overload with loud music and crowds of people. Do expect to pay for extras on excursions. There will be a photographer trying to sell you pictures, extra charges for things you may not consider (eg use of snorkels etc) but it's worth getting out and about. There's not much in the way of bars and restaurants walking distance from the hotel so bear this in mind. The hotel beds are HARD. Like sleeping on a carpeted floor. But I slept surprisingly well despite this! The food is adequate but not amazing. Some questionable brown mush aptly named 'foul' was served at breakfast. But the pastries were lovely. You need to ask for butter but I wouldn't bother. Hard and inedible. Didn't melt in the sun... The entertainment team did well. They clearly made a bee line for the teenagers/young adults as they were more likely to participate but they were really lovely and enthusiastic without being over the top and th
