The beach had plenty of loungers with umbrellas...I was happy.
The hotel had four restaurants to choose from, the food was gorgeous and had plenty to choose from. The first night when i arrived to hotel i went to the hotel's main buffet, and i was shocked by the selection! WOW! I was like a little kid in a sweet shop. I basically choose what i wanted and the waiters came to me and asked me what i'd like to drink and frequently did this when i was running low. I don't drink, and i loved the hotels non-alcohol cocktail 'Dreams Sympthany' i must of ran them dry...But it was GORGEOUS!
On an evening you have to book the restuarants outside. There is also 'My place' and the italian by the pool. You get one meal each week you stay at the hotel; e.g stay for two weeks and you can go twice. There is also the love boat, which i would recommend! On certain nights they have entertainment such as belly dancing etc....the food was a gorgeous three course, and lots of it! The views from the love boat on cliff were breathtaking and at night is so peaceful. Everyone seemed to have a great time here as they got you up dancing and joining in the fun! I was impressed, i won two competitions and won two cocktails! It does cost to go here though, 112 egyptian £'s per person (£12) but well worth it. If you do go, make sure its on the night they the party. I found that it seemed to be every Wednesday, but they will advertise this in reception near the buffet area.
The pools were really busy, it was so hard to get a sun lounger. I think a lot of people put down their towels at around 8 in the morning! Too early for me...Hehe. I'm not one to sit in the sun anyway, so i had fun in the pool. There is a bar at the pool, which is handy! They had an entertainment team that were often by the pool doing water areobics or playing 'water soccer'. They would also come to you and try to put you down for entertainment...which was fun to join in. The italian restaurant by the pool is open during the day for a buffet style meal, i loved it here.
The big bonus of going to Dreams Beach was that they had a sister hotel right next door; Dreams Vacation which you could use their facilities too. The pools are much bigger and quieter as they don't have a beach. I would say it's a 5 minute walk to the hotel, but there is a little car that comes round to take you there and back. I'm not sure how many restaurants they have there, as i didn't eat here. But i did see a mexican by the pool. I notice they also had football pitch and stage. They were also a hiden secret, in the Dreams Vacation they had a Gym, Jaccuzi and Sauna. It was small, but an added bonus. I liked the added touch of having four poster style beds by the pools with canopies across, a nice touch and perfect from hiding from the sun!
The hotel also had a free bus that picks you up from the hotel and takes you to Naama Bay. You do have to put your name down though, as the seats go fast especially on an evening. I'd recommend that you put your name down before you go to breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. I enjoyed it so much that i often said 'this is the life'. I will be returning in September 2007 for another two weeks. The staff, food, facilities are excellent!
