Flamenco Beach And Resort

Compared to other local hotels, this one is very nice. Many hotels in the area do not have hot water, but the Flamenco does!

The hotel is split on both sides of the street. Our room was far from parking and the closest entrance/exit doors to the building remained locked at all times, forcing you to exit through the door they wanted.

The diving center in the ressort, www.diving.de Flamenco is by far the best on the Southern Red Sea, and it was the ONLY reason to book the Flamenco ressort. The pool area was nice, beach/reef awesome, food was mostly ok, really nice salads (but: forget about the sweets and desserts, no taste, just gelatine).

Upon arrival we had to change our room 3 times (broken window, really old matress, you saw the body-shapes of generations sleeping here), and I had to debate for almost two hours, in order to make it clear, that yes, I booked "All-inclusive", which they did not give us at the beginning. In general, watch out: at the reception they treat booking.com-clients rather bad, "overpriced because of booking" is the excuse for everything (the ressort is focussing on TUI, Neckermann, Thomas Cook, travellers etc.). And it was definitely (and by far) not worth what we paid for it (300 €/3 nights, double-room). Seaview-terrace was okay, but we had the Ali-Baba-Beach-Club in front, a nightmare (crazy-loud until 10-11 pm), and when you did 4 dives a day, and are looking for a night of sleep before a sunrise-dive at 5:30 a.m., this is just terrible. The food is edible, some meals are rather good.
