Mövenpick Sharm El Sheikh

The room has a very charming, antique design. The staff are enthusiastic, the food is delicious, and the hotel's beach and architecture create a beautiful and relaxing environment. The only minor drawback was that the water flow from the faucet in the room was intermittent, but everything else was great.

The front desk service was quite disappointing. As this was our first stop in Egypt, it certainly gave us a memorable introduction to Egyptian service. The hotel's taxi service also severely overcharged us. While the price was significantly higher than market rates – something I won't even dwell on – it was at least clearly stated. However, despite agreeing on a specific pick-up time, the driver was late, leaving us waiting by the roadside for over 40 minutes in the middle of the night. This nearly caused us to miss our onward travel plans. The hotel's interior had a strong Arabian character, but the room itself was pretty standard.

The room amenities were a bit dated, and there's only one pool which tended to get very crowded. The food was also quite mediocre. However, the biggest advantage is the four beaches, offering an excellent snorkeling environment. The water depth was perfect, allowing us to see plenty of fish and coral.

The resort has a beautiful design which I really liked, but the rooms and furniture are old. Cleanliness is average, but the facilities and beach are excellent. It's a lovely resort, but more attention should be paid to cleanliness.

Excellent hotel with great service and private beaches. We were also lucky with the weather!
