TL;DR
The beach à la carte restaurant at the resort gets mixed reviews — tastier than the main buffet but some report stomach issues. Fares seafood restaurant on Naama Bay has polarizing reviews.
The Italian à la carte restaurant received a positive comment for its fish, but the salads and seafood soup were considered unremarkable. Service may be rushed, with dessert arriving before the main course is finished.
Among the resort's dining options, the beach restaurant was preferred for its fresh, varied food. The Italian and fish à la carte restaurants were not considered particularly memorable.
Review of hotel restaurants: Serano has a slightly smaller selection but no waiting for tables. On some evenings it hosts a seafood spread — shrimp, crab, fish, and squid. Azalia adds mussels on those days too. Plenty of food for everyone.
The paid seafood à la carte restaurant at Grand Oasis hotel got a negative review — not tasty, felt like they don't know how to cook seafood. Costs around $5 per person.
A seafood restaurant in the Old Market gets strong praise: you can choose the fresh seafood yourself, then they cook it and serve it as a large mixed platter. The review was especially positive about freshness and portion size.
There is also a recent negative take on seafood from El Halaka: the food was considered mediocre, more acceptable for beer and watching football than for a worthwhile meal.
The Royal sea-view restaurant served salmon, shrimp, and crab to good reviews. The aquapark restaurant, by contrast, feels and smells like a canteen — worth visiting only once if at all.
Albatros hotel stands out for its dining options: 6 restaurants including a fish restaurant that receives high praise. The themed restaurants (Chinese, Mexican) bear little resemblance to their respective cuisines.
Fares seafood restaurant on Naama Bay has very mixed reviews — roughly half positive, half negative. Worth checking recent reviews before visiting.
The hotel's beach seafood restaurant has declined in quality compared to previous years — only the salad stood out as worth eating.
The beach à la carte restaurant is the only spot at the resort where food is genuinely tasty, despite using the same ingredients as the main buffet. Downside: some guests report stomach issues afterward.
The beach restaurant included with the silver all-inclusive bracelet offers good, varied food. The separate fish restaurant at the resort is not worth visiting.
The hotel buffet offers a wide selection: large baked meat cuts, fish, duck (often available), and grilled shrimp as a regular option. Overall the resort gets high marks.
Grilled shrimp at the hotel buffet tends to be overcooked and dry — not recommended for seafood lovers.
The hotel's beach seafood spot was praised for its seafood dishes, though this review is from two years ago. Santorini and Farsha are better for photos than for the food itself.
