Central Beach Location

Located 1 miles from Sharm's center and 15.5 miles from Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport, the resort provides direct access to snorkeling spots with coral reefs a short swim from shore.

“The resort's dedication to the Red Sea's underwater beauty is clear, from its prime spot on Ras Um El Sid cliff to the accessible snorkeling just off the beach; the eco-friendly certification is a further commitment. Dining here is a treat, especially the traditional Arabic options and the Italian restaurant, Nino's. I found the staff exceptionally helpful, particularly with family needs.”

It was pretty cool. The private beach was amazing. It was great for snorkeling, the underwater life was abundant!

The gym was fairly basic. I had to wait for the treadmill, it took a little longer than I would've liked.

The main international restaurant offered a high quality cuisine. A great variety of food was available. Greenery throughout the resort was lush because of many gardeners. Staff members were always ready to help guests.

I noticed that sound isolation in the rooms was not adequate. I could hear noises from the hallway. The hotel applied a rule to exchange beach towels. This rule was not respected. Some furniture was broken in the bathroom.
