there were hotels in this area in August 2024, in general, it is not bad if you plan to spend your vacation cleanly in the room. The territory of the hotel is large, well-groomed, there are no special delights, there is a playground, volleyball courts, a swimming pool (I did not swim, but I felt the smell of chlorine as I passed by). I didn't like the access to the sea. That is, the line itself is large, there are always sun beds, but you can enter the water only in one place, which is fenced with buoys, in good weather you can still swim away, but if the waves, then everything is smaller than the pool. awful. Everyone is stupidly standing in one place, because it is impossible to swim somewhere, you will definitely meet someone's ass or leg. There is no entertainment. Evening events are also special. The kitchen is very sparse, everything seems to be there. but there's nothing to eat. But again, for an amateur, if you like to try what you don't know, then it's not bad, and if you're still afraid of catching poisoning, then you'll have to try everything with caution. And I advise you not to. I am sure there is a much better place for such a price (and it is not small).

I liked the hotel, and overall I am very pleased with the choice, although there are nuances. We were there from December 28 to January 8, 2025. I will try to evaluate all the parameters in detail.: 1. The sea and the beach. The beach is very nice with smooth access to the sea without the need to put on corals. There is a reef and a lot of fish nearby, and I'm sure there are hotels with a more beautiful reef, but in Sharm el-Sheikh, such hotels usually only enter the water from a pontoon. There are a lot of hotels nearby where the entrance is from the pontoon, but this is not for us as it is inconvenient (usually they are long and take a long time to walk, which is not comfortable, especially in windy weather) and dangerous (scientists claimed in one of the TV shows. that a shark is more likely to attack from deep water than in shallow water) The beach of Barcelo is not for you in the period from December to February, if you are very thermophilic, because the winds are blowing and the bay is not protected from the wind. Russian Russians are the only Russians there, but they're very smart. But in winter, it's worth going here to go windsurfing or kitesurfing, for example, not in this hotel, but in hotels near it, where, for example, there's a Russian kitesurfing school (of the Russians, only Sergei is there, but he's very smart) 2. I would rate the food at 4 out of 5. Don't get poisoned, but the assortment could be bigger, especially fish and fruits. But there is a large assortment of sweets. The New Year's Eve dinner was not impressive at all, and we paid for it separately when booking the tour. 3. Animation is not very good. Sluggish, there are few shows, few activities during the day, activities overlap in time, for example yoga and volleyball go at the same time, and I would like to participate in both. 4. Infrastructure. Generally normal. There are several pools, but only one is heated and it is small and more suitable for children. In the rest, you probably won't swim in winter.There is a kids' club, a SPA and a gym. The layout of the buildings is very well thought out, from any building you can quickly get to the main building, where there is a lobby and a dining room. 5. Service. The waiters, cleaners, animators and beach staff are friendly. There were no attempts to beg for tea or be rude Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel and the rest. The only thing I do not recommend in winter is to take rooms with sea views and a private pool, as the water in the pool is cold and you will not be able to swim.
