Sinai Peninsula, Egypt hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent all the way around."

"Super clean hotel, staff is amazing. Only thing, the pools are due for maintenance. They are clean, but the paint is like running off so it is visually unpleasing "

"The room was clean, resort was really huge with multiple activities and useful facilities (e.g. a free shower room to freshen up after checkout). All the staff members were really courteous and always willing to help (e.g. the kitchen staff patiently explained all the food options available in the buffet to us, as we’re a vegetarian family). "

"Lovely hotel and staff, but a long walk to the the main centre of the area."

"It’s an amazing huge resort Service is excellent and food is everywhere with very high quality "

"Very nice upscale accommodation, great breakfast buffet, excellent snorkeling off the house reef."

"Clean Pools and rooms .polite helpful staff "

"Everything was really good and the food was great "

"Lovely hotel for a beach getaway for adults (Baron Resort next door is perfect for families). The location is not far from the airport and is beautifully designed and looked after. Staff are very friendly and attentive to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. There are 3 bars on site and one on the beach. The restaurant is large with usual array of food types one would expect from all-inclusive service, there are special bar-be-queues laid on in front terrace, plus some enjoyable live entertainment. There are couple of a la carte options, one being traditional Egyptian place way at the back of the property on route the beach, in our experience it didn't seem to be booked much - in my opinion it's because it's next to several shops selling usual stuff (beach wear, 'designer' watches, belts etc) and pesky shop keepers who can be annoying - this is not hotel problem but worth mentioning. Animation team are lovely team working long hours to try engage in some fun, along with some excellent live acts. Special mention to the beautiful Aya! The beach is excellent, the water for couple of hundred yards is warm shallow and perfect for just floating on for hours. At the end of the pier there is snorkelling and scuba diving, both excellent to see the reefs and range of colourful fish in crystal clear water. Highlight of the trip. Hotel negative points: Wifi not so reliable. Restaurant does not label V for vegetarian which is not acceptable, have to keep asking Chef Salah. "
