It's no secret that for our compatriots Egypt is perhaps the most popular tourist destination on a par with Turkey. Russians especially love the mysterious and fashionable Sharm el-Sheikh, whose name already sounds something oriental-intriguing and luxurious.
But rest even in the most heavenly place can be spoiled by poor-quality staff service and a bad hotel. Therefore, the choice of housing must be approached more than responsibly. What is needed for a quality and comfortable stay? The question is purely individual, but in general terms we can say that it should be the perfect combination of price, quality, location and required infrastructure. One of the popular hotels among compatriots is Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm el Sheikh 5, we will talk about it and a little about its counterpart in Hurghada.
Locationhotel
A magnificent 5-star complex with a sandy private beach and a diving center has chosen its place in Nabq Bay, only 7 km from the airport (which will allow you to reach it in just 10-15 minutes) and close to the oldest and most popular resort city zones - Naama Bay (17 km). Guests of the hotel can take advantage of the daily shuttle service upon prior request.
One of the main advantages of Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5is its location on the first line of the coast, so its guests can get to a comfortable and clean private beach of the Red Sea in the Sinai Peninsula in a few minutes.

The main establishment is The Market Restaurant & Terrace. It is ready to offer hotel guests not only a luxurious dinner, but also breakfasts and lunches on the All Inclusive system. The buffet and the abundance of dishes of not only national oriental cuisine, but also European ones will allow you to enjoy your meal. Breakfast is served on the terrace right on the open-air beach.
The hotel can also often be found under the name Cleopatra Luxury Resort Collection 5. This is due to its complex architectural solution and a large number of objects on the territory. It would be a big mistake to visit the sea and not taste its gifts, so you should definitely pay attention to the second restaurant - Red Sea Wharf. Delicious dishes from the freshest seafood will delight even the most sophisticated gourmet. And the Fellini restaurant, as the name suggests, offers visitors Italian cuisine. You need to keep in mind that both of them work "a la carte", that is, for an additional fee.
Excellent meat and vegetables will be served by the Beach Grill restaurant, located on the territory of the hotel overlooking the waters of the Red Sea. In addition to the main dishes, they offer tea, coffee and delicious sweets.
All restaurants have a special children's menu.
Hotel bars
There are many places for a relaxed and relaxing stay in the hotel, including four bars. Each of them is special and has an indescribable flavor and charm. So, near the pool, you can enjoy soft drinks and cocktails, as they say, without leaving the ticket office in Central Park or in the Villa, where, in addition, gourmet ice cream of various varieties and types is served. And in the Pilli Pilli Pub, in an exceptional atmosphere, you can play billiards and try a real oriental hookah - a multifunctional and interesting place.

Sports & Entertainment
No matter how comfortable and relaxed an exclusively beach passive holiday is, any tourist will sooner or later want something interesting and new. And in the case when there is no desire to leave the hotel, you can turn to the services provided by Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5.
The most important place on vacation is the sea and the pool. Everything is clear with the first - the hotel is located on the first line and the beach is within walking distance. With pools, too, the problem will not arise, especially since there are two of them. Umbrellas, sunbeds and towels near them are provided absolutely free of charge, although they are not always free, so you need to take care and leave the room a little early. The pools of Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm 5are impressive in their size: open - 900 sq. m, with heated water - 1600 sq. There is enough space for all guests, and there is a special section for children.
Here, daily and in the company of professional instructors, you can practice water gymnastics (aqua aerobics), which has a beneficial effect on the entire body and especially the musculoskeletal system. To the services of all who cannot imagine life without sports, there is a free spacious fitness center.
But for water speciesentertainment, diving courses and dives will have to pay extra. However, for children, snorkeling, that is, diving with a mask, is free of charge, as is the rental of equipment for this.

The hotel is not in vain called Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5: in addition to entertainment, it also offers he alth and beauty services. Women will especially like their own spa. Massage (regular and water) is a good addition to a sauna or a real Turkish hammam.

Reviews of vacationers about the location and infrastructure
I would like to note right away that Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5(Sharm El Sheikh) has a generally positive reputation among tourists, but you can often meet criticism of it. The guests of the hotel, who have been there on vacation, unanimously note its excellent location (near the sea and the airport), which is,perhaps the most important plus. Particularly emphasize the cleanliness and convenience of the beach. The entry into the sea is quite shallow, and you won’t be able to see the marine life like that, but everything is calm and there is a pontoon from which you can plunge into the water without any problems.
Guests of Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5 leave different reviews on the quality of service and rooms, averaging 3-4 on a scale of 5 points. Despite the declared luxury, there are shortcomings and shortcomings. So, according to some guests, the hotel seems to be unfinished: here and there there are some imperfections - the tiles fall off, the faucet is leaking, the furniture is shabby, etc. But in general, they do not spoil the overall impression.
The work of the animators and the numerous entertainment activities that do not let you get bored are well appreciated. The reviews also positively note the large territory of the hotel and its well-groomedness, as well as spacious pools for every taste. As some note, throughout the rest you can not even go to other places.
About food and restaurants
Hotel guests comment on the good quality of the All Inclusive food. It is tasty, fresh, not monotonous, but without any frills. You should definitely try scrambled eggs for breakfast, which are cooked right in front of you and with the ingredients that you chose to choose. As well as amazing (judging by the reviews) pastries and sweets. Gourmets are recommended to visit a seafood restaurant and an Italian cafe with excellent pizza for a fee.
Summing upthe result and based on the reviews vacationing in Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm 5, you can safely rate the hotel for a solid four, however, there are doubts about the VIP class vacation declared by tour operators and owners of the complex.
