Logaina Sharm Resort

We stayed for one night as we had a flight that arrived late at night. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Location is a little in the middle of nowhere, but there is a shop 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The room could do with a bit of modernisation but for the price we paid and for what we needed, it was fantastic and we would definitely stay again for the same purpose. We didn’t use the pool, as it was such a short trip. However, we did see it being cleaned early in the morning and it looked nice enough.

The hotel just for stay a night.

First of all, I would like to say that the host, Ali, is a 10/10 guy. One of the nicest people you could ever meet and will go out of his way to do all within his capability to make your stay as comfortable as can be. The location of the property is great for a night's stay before a flight in the morning. The property is quite old however and is definitely in need of modernisation and a tidy up. I stayed with my wife and 3 year old son on April 15th 2023 as a stopover on the way back to the UK from Saudi Arabia. Little did I know (having never been to Egypt before) about the darn mosquitoes. This was a HUGE problem. Ali did give us some fly killer spray, but it wasn't very helpful with the fumes in the bedroom etc. Maybe some mosquito repellent plugs or something would've been better. Overall, it did the job of providing somewhere to stay the night on the way home. Very quiet area, away from all the riff raff. No restaurants or anything nearby. A small convenince store with snacks and drinks is a 2 min walk away. A taxi journey is needed if you're wanting to eat out, which again, Ali sorted for us and very reasonably priced.

The resort is cute but note it is humble. This is a family-run business and you can tell immediately: everyone is incredibly kind, helpful, they remember your name and details immediately and are responsive and very supportive. Rates are as advertised and transparent (no surprises). Food is home-made and hearty. They were so kind one evening when I advised I'd arrive after the dinner hours, to wait to cook my specific meal and bring it to my room! They also packed lunches for me to take to the conference I was attending which was wonderful. My only struggle was that the shower appeared to be a hot-water-on-demand style - which meant at times it fluctuated for 45-60 seconds between high pressure to basically a trickle, and back to high pressure.

There were mosquitos and there were no screens in the windows. It is under the runway from the airport. It is ready for demolition. Breakfast cost an additional $15US, despite that the coffee was packets of decaf. Lastly, the other hotels in the area include breakfast -- and a lavish breakfast at that. The staff were super lovely. I suspect this hotel was resuscitated from closure for the COP 27 meetings.
