Tropitel Naama Bay Hotel 5 *: photos, prices and hotel reviews

Egypt, despite political upheavals, does not cease to be the most popular budget tourist destination for winter holidays at sea. Two resorts of the country - both Hurghada and Sharm-el-Sheikh - compete among themselves in attracting tourists. Over the past twenty years, these cities have turned into a multi-kilometer chain of beaches, built up by chic and inexpensive hotels. They tirelessly "overgrown" with new resort villages. Today we are presenting for those who have already visited this wonderful country, and for those who are planning to come to Egypt for the first time, the Tropitel Naama Bay hotel. The photo of this green oasis among the sultry Sinai desert is simply impressive. But how is the situation in reality? What is a hotel? Its pros and cons will be discussed below. For the analysis, we took not only the official information about the hotel, but also studied the reviews of the travelers stopping in it.

Sharm el-Sheikh - the pearl of the Sinai Peninsula

This resort is located right on the coast of the Red Sea, away from the main part of Egypt. This is not Africa, but the Sinai Peninsula of Asia. Sharm el-Sheikh is famous for its unique microclimate, which makes possible a winter holiday. From cold winds from the north, the resort is closed by mountains, one of which is Mount Moses - is a shrine for believers of the three world religions.

Nature has given the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh an unimaginable beauty of richness - coral reefs, so the northern coast of the Red Sea is considered a Mecca for divers. And those who do not know how to dive with aqualung, too, can see the colorful inhabitants of reefs. In some places, corals and tropical fish can be found near the shore and get to them by swimming with a tube and mask. If compared with other places of rest, for example, with the same Hurghada, then Sharm el-Sheikh is considered a youth resort. It's always noisy, there are a lot of discos, bars and nightclubs in the city.

Where is the hotel located and how to get there

Our hotel in the ranking of Hotels Sharm el Sheikh 5 * is in the middle. At the same time, this is one of the chosen resort complexes for our compatriots. The hotel is located in the resort area of Sharm el-Sheikh, namely in the bay and the Naama Bay area. This location and gave the name to the hotel. Until May 2011, it was simply called Naama Bay. From the airport of Sharm el-Sheikh, the hotel separates about fifteen kilometers. If you take a tour to Egypt, then, most likely, the transfer to the hotel is included in the cost of the tour. You will be met at the airport, and in fifteen minutes you will be there. If you are an avid independent traveler, then by purchasing an air ticket for a regular flight Moscow-Sharm-el-Sheikh (costing from twenty-one and a half thousand rubles) or sitting on a charter (a little over sixteen thousand), you will need to take a taxi to Hotel. The distance is small, so the trip will not ruin the tourist. The Old Town is only seven kilometers from the hotel. In addition to taxis, you can use the services of minibuses.

Officially, the hotel complex is divided into two zones: the main building (swimming pools and other infrastructure near the main building) and the resort (park area with a bungalow).
