Red Sea Lying Flat Tour, Egypt Sharm El Sheikh Marriott Hotel

Sharm El Sheikh Marriott Resort, located on the shores of the Red Sea at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, is a forty-minute flight from Cairo. The entire hotel is predominantly white with blue accents, and the archways and bridges deeply embody the essence of Mediterranean architecture, especially under the scorching sun, it resembles Santorini in Greece. The hotel is large in scale, built in layers along the coastal highlands, staggered in four steps. The reception lobby and garden are located at the highest point, overlooking the panoramic view of the beach. The difference in levels ensures that more rooms have sea views, but unfortunately, the room I stayed in was still blocked by tree tops and roofs in front, and it was better to walk to the beach than to look out from the room. Even if you walk to the bottom of the coast, there is no endless golden beach as imagined. The downward journey passes through waterfalls, gardens, swimming pools and artificial beaches, and in the end, you only see the not-so-spectacular rocky coast, with the horizon far away and the clouds and waves surrounding it. The treatment for Titanium members is guaranteed, and the upgrades are not vague. Unfortunately, the hotel has been operating for a long time, and the decoration style, aesthetics and maintenance standards have fallen behind. The apartment-style guest rooms are like domestic old cadre sanatoriums, equipped with a full set of kitchen utensils, and a super old-fashioned Galanz microwave oven, which is so old that it can be put into the museum. In addition, there is a master in the hotel who is good at spinning with noisy music. He will appear by the seaside swimming pool in the afternoon, wearing a cloak and a dance skirt, and spinning for at least 40 minutes without stopping. In short, apart from the unique geographical location, all other aspects are beaten by domestic hotels of the same grade. It's good to check in once, but forget about staying for a holiday. Here are some super important tips: 1, Walkin, do not book in advance. Confirm on site that you can pay in Egyptian pounds, and then place an order on the Marriott App. Thanks to the collapsed exchange rate in Egypt, you can enjoy half-price treatment directly, which is more cost-effective than booking with points. 2, You have to buy a package on the App, there are all kinds of meal packages at the resort hotels here. This one's dinner package is only 5 dollars more expensive than a regular room. Dinner is a super rich buffet, with crabs, various fish and dozens of sweet little cakes. 3, Sharm El Sheikh seems to be a city, but it is actually a collection of hundreds of resorts along the coastline. Apart from lying flat in the hotel or diving in the Red Sea, there is nothing to do. For transportation between resorts, if you don't want to be slaughtered, you must and can only use Indrive. Domestic phone cards can't be used for download, you have to buy a local Egyptian phone card.
