There are many shops, souvenir shops, bars, discos, restaurants, etc. In addition, the hotel is located near the airport. Therefore, upon arrival, you do not have to waste time getting to the hotel.
Restaurants, bars
In addition to how meals are organized, as a rule, tourists make many complaints. And this applies to hotels both in Russia and in such popular resort countries as Turkey and Egypt. However, the Sonesta Club 4 * hotel in this sense can be called a pleasant exception to the rule. Indeed, the vast majority of guests agreed that the food here is very well organized. Of course, coming here, you should not count on the same variety of dishes and snacks that more expensive five-star hotels offer. However, the menu at Sonesta Club will surely appeal to you.
So, three times a day in the main restaurant, skilled chefs serve a buffet. For breakfast, visitors can taste eggs cooked in different forms (scrambled eggs and fried eggs are here with you), cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, sausages, cheeses, pastries. For lunch, guests will find a varied selection of first and second courses of meat, fish, poultry, soups, salads, snacks and delicious desserts.

In addition, on the street, cooks cooked meat on the grill, distributing it portionwise to everyone.
As for the service in the restaurant, our compatriots on this point do not express special complaints. According to them, the waiters very quickly clean the dirty dishes from the tables. In addition, if a dish is quickly dismantled, cooks replenish its supplies so that those visitors who come for lunch or dinner a little later could also try it. Seats in the restaurant, according to guests, were also enough for everyone. The only thing that bothered some tourists a bit was the lines behind the grill. However, the cooks tried to serve everyone as quickly as possible. So, in principle, this fact did not become a particular problem for the vast majority of vacationers.
Beach vacation
According to the comments of those who left reviews about their stay at Sonesta Club 4 *, the hotel, as indicated in its official description, is located on the second coastline. This means that on the way to the beach you will have to cross the road. According to our compatriots, the hotel is a short distance from the sea. So, to the beach, according to them, you can literally walk in 8-10 minutes with an unhurried step. In addition, a minibus runs between the hotel and the beach every half hour. So if you do not want to walk, you can use the shuttle service. It works from 8 a.m. until the evening. However, according to our compatriots, most of the guests preferred to make a pleasant and completely not tiring walk to the sea. Moreover, the path passes through the picturesque territory of hotels.
As for the beach of the Sonesta Club hotel itself, then, according to a number of vacationers, it is not big enough. After all, guests of it use not only Sonesta Club Sharm 4 *, but also two other hotels. In this regard, there is often a shortage of sun loungers and parasols. Therefore, many tourists had to go to the beach before breakfast in order to occupy a deck chair, because otherwise, if you come to the sea a little later, it may turn out that there are no free sunbeds. Therefore, our compatriots turn to the hotel administration with the hope that this situation will be somehow resolved. Indeed, in this case, tourists will be more comfortable, and they will be pleased to recommend the hotel to their friends and acquaintances.
As for entering the sea, it is quite smooth here. However, travelers claim there are a lot of rocks and corals at the bottom. Therefore, it is better not to enter the water without special shoes.

After all, you will have the opportunity to watch colorful fish, crabs, moray eels and many other interesting marine life that can only be found in the Red Sea.
If you want to be able to go into the water on a sand, then experienced travelers are advised to go to a nearby beach. By the way, here you can rent a sunbed with an umbrella. As our compatriots note, there is no fixed cost for this service, and everything will depend on how you can negotiate with the beach employee. So, someone managed to rent two deckchairs and an umbrella for a couple of dollars, and someone had to shell out $ 15.
But back to the private beach of the Sonesta Club Hotel. It has a bar. It serves guests of all three hotels that have the right to use this beach. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served here. According to our compatriots, the choice and quality of their completely satisfied.
