Positioned on the five-star segment the property has 345 rooms, five bars, a wellness center and a spa, three outdoor swimming pools and one indoors, as well as three restaurants.

"Everything suggests that the situation in Egypt is returning to normal and its tourism is on the road to recovery, particularly as far as concerns the city of Sharm-El-Sheik, which has been one of European tourists' favorite destinations, especially for German and British travelers. Forecasts for the winer are already very good," declared José Canals, regional director Balearics and Mediterranean Barceló Hotels & Resorts.
