Cataract Layalina Resort

Me and my partner booked to stay here for a break/holiday from everyday life. We arrived at the hotel at 06:30am and got told we couldn’t check in until 14:00 which we both understood. As we were both knackered from travelling since 17:00 the previous night we stayed in reception and rested. 3 hours later a member of staff said our room was ready and then said me and my partner could have either a standard or deluxe room to which we responded saying the standard room was okay. The one member of staff said to go look at both the choices and then another member of staff took us to see both rooms. We then came back and said the standard room was okay for us and they insists we go for the deluxe room. I said I wanted the standard room as I knew if I chose the deluxe they’d ask for a fee. Both the 2 members of staff on reception then kept going on saying to have the deluxe room so I said okay because me and my partner just wanted to sleep and rest and they weren’t letting us choose the standard one and didn’t give us a choice. The one staff member said to pay £50,000 EGP for the upgrade and I said no and then they said you chose so I just said £7,000 EGP for the 10 nights. I went to pay in reception and they said that we should pay in the room which I thought was strange. One of the staff members took us to the deluxe room and sat me down and said to pay now so I gave him the money. He said that if anyone asked me and my partner , that our upgrade was free and that if we said anything about the money we paid him that bad things would happen to me and my partner and this was threatening. He left the room after that. We both went to go to sleep and he came back banging on the door and then started pulling the handle on the door. I opened the door and he walked into the room and gave us both bracelets for our breakfast the following morning. We were both very anxious, nervous and felt in danger because of how they treated us so we left on that exact evening. We booked a taxi from reception to the airport and the guy who threatened us took us to the taxi and we then left and went to a different country to enjoy the rest of our holiday. All in all I do not recommend this hotel at all , we didn’t get to experience the area , food, swimming pool, and the room so we can’t comment on how that would be but the two staff members who made us uncomfortable and coerced both me and my partner were disgusting, and rude and will make you uncomfortable. We got our hotel refunded which was good but was a hassle to sort out. Definitely won’t be back!

We rested in Cataract Layalina3*from 13 to 26.04.2025. First time we flew to Sharm el-Sheikh. The main purpose of the holiday was diving and meeting friends from Krasnoyarsk who were on vacation at Novotel. That's why you chose Cataract Layalina3*: close to your friends, hotel within our budget and diving center at the hotel. Check-in took place very quickly, immediately upon arrival at the hotel. Number 110 by the pool. Quiet and very comfortable. Everything in the room worked properly: plumbing, fridge, body. Cleaning of the room every day and a bottle of water 1.5 litres at check-in. The power supply is 3*. No frills, but you can't call them meagre either. The beach is small, but there was enough room for all guests, given that the beach is for two hotels (Cataract Resort 4*). By the way, the sunbeds on the beach have been replaced by new plastic ones. There were never any lines at the restaurant or the bars. There are two bars, one on the beach and one near the stage. Beer and rum were always there. All the hotel staff are trying hard. Everyone is friendly and friendly. One of the main advantages of the hotel is its location: the center of Naama Bay. There was a place to go in the evening, everyone was there. In general, the holiday is very satisfied: with friends met, dived on beautiful reefs. I join all those who have enjoyed their stay at the hotel.

Very bad experience and no value for the price The worst room is the semi-rental rooms without hotel rooms completely old wood and marble, old-fashioned, restless, well-furnished, butchered, butchered, catets in the room, foam smells and theme parks are no better need, the bathroom is very bad, broken and old-fashioned and old-fashioned TV tested. Residential buildings are similar to aerial architecture The food is modest, one type of broth or meat, fish, and the rest is only vegetable or rice and a small sweet cake It’s just soft drinks, sausage, apple tango, and mango tango. The best part of the spot inside of Nami Bay Two-star hotel, go for a ticket if it’s low or get off in exchange for being in Amman Bay

I've been to Egypt many times but I've never seen a hotel like this I very rarely write reviews it's when the hay is good or very bad at allocating time for it and try to keep someone away from this hotel. The worst part is the operation of some motors on the roof all night that sleeping is not realistic.

The staff are absolutely not going to the meeting... The mood was dampened from the first minute of check-in. Relaxing in room 264. The staff don't go to the meeting, they're obstructing a good holiday in every way! Basically two big downsides. 1st. There's a safe in the room and the rules say we're entitled to use the safe, but the safe won't be opened! 2nd. We came to relax in the 4th, the room only has 3 single beds and lots of free space to install the 4th bed, the receptionists don't solve the problem, just say no and that's it. That is, nothing at all, not even a mattress can be given separately. I came to rest, paid the money and have to sleep in a hole between the beds.
