Hi everyone,
I'm planning a trip to Sharm El Sheikh in December and I need some real, honest advice from people who have stayed at these resorts recently.
My top two priorities are:

1. Food Quality: Good quality ingredients, hygienic, varied dining (preferably decent à la carte options, vegetarian-friendly, and a reliable buffet that doesn't feel like a mass-catering cafeteria).
2. Easy Sea Access: A true walk-in, sandy beach entry where you can actually walk in on smooth sand and swim directly from the shore without stepping on dead coral/rocks and without having to rely solely on a long pontoon/jetty.
   I am currently looking at these properties:
   Mövenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh
   Sentido / Reef Oasis
   Jaz Fanara Resort
   Park Regency (ex-Hyatt)
   Novotel Sharm El Sheikh (Beach Side)
   I've heard mixed reviews:
   Some say Mövenpick has the best walk-in sandy coves, but that the buffet food is mediocre. Is the food really that bad, or do the à la carte restaurants save it?
   I know Jaz Fanara and Reef Oasis are in the same bay (Ras Um Sid), but how is the shore entry at Reef Oasis compared to Jaz? Do you have to use the pontoon at Reef Oasis just to swim?
   Is Park Regency purely a pontoon-only entry for swimming?
   How does Novotel Beach rank for food compared to the others?
   Which of these would offer the best balance of genuinely good food and a seamless, walk-in sandy beach?
   Thanks in advance for the insights!

G’day everyone, I’ve been dreaming of moving to New Zealand lately! I’ve been there a few times and know the country pretty well. I’m based in Italy and 24 years old. I’m wondering if it’s possible to work as a travel agent in New Zealand and which city would be a good fit?
Thanks in advance
