Me and my boyfriend went for a week, after reading reviews on here before we went we decided to go B&B and it was the best decision we could of made. We were upgraded to a king room on arrival (free of charge), the room was huge, very clean, grounds were very well maintained, staff were very helpful. We didn't make it up in time for the breakfast but as far as the hotel and staff go we cant fault it for what it was offering.

The distance was fine, only 25 Egyptian pounts for a cab into Naama bay (£2.50 english), plenty of restaurants and bars on offer. Naama bay is the best beach, sharks bay is said to be the best one but we went there and left after 15 minutes, its stoney, not a lot there and quite a long drive.

In a nut shell, really do recommend the Mexicana for B&B, the all inclusive option did look very limited and quite boring.

Oh, and one other thing, the sunbeds round both pools seem to go really quickly, we had to put towels down before 6am if we wanted to get any beds so set your alarms!!

Pretty Hotel, well maintained. Went all-inclusive, food was ok, but not great, if you are vegetarian I strongly advise you don't go all inclusive as theres not much selection. The awful plastic glasses that I was given drinks in made me feel inferior to the other guests that were not all inclusive. On the final day was digusted as I was not allowed a glass of water for lunch at 1pm as my all inclusive supposedly finished at 12. Staff were friendly, sometimes a little too much, but did enjoy the karaoke night and the belly dancer.

We came out to do dive courses and got "upgraded" to the creative mexicana. first impressions were favourable but on closer inspection the hotel rooms are a bit tired, tatty and in need of a refurbishment or at least a deep clean.
we were supposedly half board, but this didn't include drink of any kind, even water and the temperature was over 32 c ! ( they charged 80p for a bottle of water that costs 15p in sharm shops.)every time we ate in the main restaurant we were ill and ended up going to a delightful little place up the road called Blu, cheaper and better food.
plus, If you ate at the wrong time, they charged you.

when we came to check out, having settled our bill the night before as requested, they tried to charge us for the entire mini bar in our room that hadn't been restocked all week ( only restocked twice in 2 weeks) We suffered the indignity of being escorted to our room by security while head of housekeeping searched our rubbish bin for nonexsistant evidence ! OUTRAGEOUS !!

Waiters very friendly and helpful, the rest not worth the money, especially now filled with rude Russians as well.

We have just returned from a week at the Mexicana and I have to agree with most of the reviews. We are not fussy eaters but the food was terrible. It was cold, poor quality and badly cooked. We had chicken every night and we felt we were treated like 2nd class citizens because we were all inclusive. The cold drinks were served warm and in plastic glasses unless you were paying then they got the chilled glasses out. There was only one restaurant for all inclusive guests unless you were prepared to pay then you had a choice of restaurants. The accommodation was ok but certainly not 4 star maybe 2 or 3. The staff were friendly and helpful and we did have a good time and met some lovely people but I would not stay at this hotel again as they do not understand the concept of all inclusive. We would recommend quad biking in the desert that was great fun! Also the show and meal at Fantasia was good value for money. We used the hotel taxis which were cheap and the one time we used the blue and white taxis the driver tried to rip us off!! I gave up on my favourite pastime of shopping because I could not stand the hassle from the shop keepers trying to get us in the shops. Overall we had a good holiday but no thanks to the Mexicana.
