Fronting the gentle arc of Sharm El Maya Bay, Iberotel Palace feels unhurried: a low-rise resort on a rare sandy beach in Sharm, with Old Market a stroll away and the water setting the day’s rhythm. Mornings are for easy swims and coffee in the shade; afternoons drift toward the pier and that steady Red Sea light.

Rooms and suites are simple, bright, and made for the outdoors—most open to a balcony or terrace over gardens, pools, or sea. Book upper floors for a wider horizon, or ground level for quick paths to the promenade and beach.

The pleasure here is choice without hurry. Adults-friendly (16+) keeps the tone quiet; days move between two main outdoor pools, the private beach, and unpretentious service that appears when needed and recedes when you want the view. For snorkel days, the hotel runs a short boat transfer to a coral beach/reef—clear water, lively fish life, and the simple ritual of stepping off the pier into color.

Meals stay close to the water: a main buffet for the easy option and several à la carte rooms for a change of pace; bars at the beach and pool keep the in-between hours looked after. Evenings are low key—walk the bay, drop by Old Market, or take a nightcap under the palms.

Practicalities are straightforward. The resort sits ~18–22 km from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (about 20 minutes by car), with Old Market landmarks like Al Sahaba Mosque a short walk from the gate. Book it when you want a sandy-beach address, quiet tempo, and easy snorkeling without leaving the neighborhood.
