“Great Holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

At 6th trip on Egypt we’ve been at a very nice and clean hotel and we had a cosy large room. The hotel beach is very good with easy access to few corals and good place for kids to play on the sand. However there is not a beach bar (you should go at pool bar- not so far) and not easy accessible toilets. The restaurant is nice, clean, not large variety of food but qualitative, no kids corner (which for us was a real issue). The single big minus of the hotel - waiters! No customer focus on providing drinks ( several times you must to struggle to make them take the order and usually brings the drinks at the end of the meal, forgetting to bring you what you order....). At the bar the there was more important for them to speak on mobiles or clean the glasses instead of serving the clients. Overall there was a good choice to spend a sunny Christmas far away from the cold winter :)

Amazing pool and sea view.
Warm staff and very cozy room with large balcony overseeing a beautiful sea and surrounding beaches.

“Very nice staff and great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

The staff took in charge our whole family (three children aged b/w 5 and 8) right at the airport and the check-in at the hotel was really fast plus we got upgraded. The staff was really nice. I agree with the comment of Dana D, even if it was a 5* hotel, in Europe it would be a 3*. The food was a bit the same even though delicious. Too many Russians according to us. French Service not quite good. The beach was really nice and the children enjoyed the pool very very much, the mini dico every evening and the kiddi's club in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. I was surprised that there were not that many games, toys or even slides for them.
Overall our stay was nice and the staff is there to please you. I recommand it.

Room Tip: take the one next to the swimming pool with the jacuzzi (it is more quiet than the rooms next to the...

“Great holidays!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

Our familly were in this beautiful hotel in miidle of September. We arrived in hotel at 4 A.M. and there was no one except receptionist who gave us room keys and in 15 minutes were in our room wit GREAT sea view.

Hotel resort is not so big like some resorts so in few days you can almost know all staff and all team in this Palace is so great but the special thanks go to Animation team: Hamzi - opa opa opa pa, Christina, Nastya, Jimmy, Bazooka and DJ Rudy. Thank you all for great animation every day and every night. Our daughter Maja was so happy for every evening in Mini Disco and she allways called Hamzi Opa opa opa pa...."watapoolo" and he was the BEST!

In Sahl Hasheesh in old town is still 90 % of shops which still are not opened yet but if you want holidays for long walkings is this perfect place. I think i 5 years there will be new great place with many hotel resorts ( now there is about 5 of them ).

The beach is beautiful for snorkeling because there is some smaller coral reefs. The pools are nice especialy the big one where we were almoust all day. It has also swim up bar with al kinds of cocktails, cola, sprite, fanta, coffe,..

For all who need rest, nice pool, beautiful beach, THE BEST animation team, friendly staff - Go to Old Palace Resort beacuse Sahl Hashhesh is beautiful.

Room Tip: Get the room in second floor wit sea view - It is amazing
