Sirena Beach Resort & Spa

Great, clean hotel, amazing location overlooking the bay, beautifully kept grounds and garden, spacious, clean rooms with comfortable king beds, sofa, efficient AC, large TV, balconies and a big, walk in shower Wide, mostly sandy beach great for long walks with lots of umbrellas and sun beds, 2 piers ideal for snorkeling at the reef, 3 pools ( 2 heated). Adult only pool and beach zone available for a quiet rest. Amazing restaurant with a big choice of fresh, quality food, live cooking at lunch and dinner, BBQ, varied pasta dishes and eggs made to order, big choice of fish, seafood, roast meats, salads, fruit and cakes, great freshly made coffee. Definitely the best meals we have ever had in Egypt and absolutely no indigestion issues which we often experienced in other places. There is a beautiful snack bar overlooking the beach serving late breakfast, drinks, 2 bars next to the pools, 1 in the lobby and a shisha smoking tent ( additional payment required) . Beer and wine are nice but the cocktails are unfortunately not great, local alcohol only, not much choice and very limited barmen skills. Entertainment was rather limited, we never saw the animation or sport instructor team, there was a very mediocre lady singer in the lobby in the evenings and we attended one show in the theatre. We didn’t mind as we just wanted to chill but if you are looking for a more varied or active stay you might want to check out Fantasia hotel which is on the same grounds with a busier agenda and a fun water park ( free of charge). There is a spa in the hotel with fabulous massages and friendly staff. The New Year’s Eve dinner buffet was superb in terms of food and service quality despite no bubbly available which was a downer. Unfortunately, the Egyptian dance show, organised after dinner in a huge tent next to Fantasia hotel was a boring disaster, far too long while most guests just wanted to dance. Somebody told us that there was a disco in the tent which started at 1 am but we were gone by then. The lobby bar at Sirena closed at 11 pm that night, there was no music which was frustrating, alternative entertainment should have definitely been provided. Despite the party being a flop in our opinion we highly recommended the hotel, food, location, attentive staff and will definitely be back. 60% of the guests were Italian and the staff speak this language best, 30% Polish, some Slovaks, Germans and Ukrainians. English is not used much or understood in the hotel.

Premium rooms are in buildings 1,2,3,4,5,6, they are spacious, modern, clean. Accommodation is in building 7 above the Sirena reception, Premium Executive rooms are in building 9, one level below the reception, closer to the beach and restaurant with its own swimming pool. In the upper right corner of the map, the main restaurant overlooks the sea, below the restaurant there is a bar with snacks and drinks, also overlooking the sea, on a slope. Sirena - a modern facility with less greenery, two separated beaches. Fantazia - a lot of greenery, high occupancy around the pools and on the beach. There is a place to walk and run, I needed a few loops along less frequented alleys to cover 5 km, but that's what I expected. There was also a very well-equipped gym with machines, treadmills and bikes. Food: delicious, tasty, appetizing. A very wide selection, from breakfast through lunch and snacks to dinner. A lot of different salads, meats, grilled dishes, seafood, burgers, pizza, pastas, pastas, desserts, fruit and ice cream, there was even a gluten-free and lactose-free corner. Part in the attached photos. Some chefs from Italy prepared pizzas and pastas, often 4 types of pasta with sauces. Two soups to choose from. Most of them were prepared live, even ice cream wafers were baked on the spot at the ice cream stand. The best food we've had in Egypt so far.
