Decided to put in my 5 cents. If at least one person, after reading my review, refuses to travel to the Golden Five, then I am not writing in vain
I’ll tell you right away from all my trips abroad (I was in Turkey, Thailand, Egypt (Charm)) this is the most economical, 7 nights for 2 adults and a child 1 year 10 months cost 1050 dollars. So I didn't expect anything special. But:
Arriving at the hotel, I immediately understood why the hotel is called Paradise, it's just a paradise... for a smoker. Ashtrays in the lobby, near the elevator, on the corridor. They take them out honestly once a day, but taking into account the fact that the hotel has a lot of natural wood, and the floor is covered with carpet, the delicate aroma of old cheap tobacco haunted me (non-smoker) for a very long time. The most interesting thing I have never seen in a week is that vacationers smoked indoors, but on the other hand, the cleaner who has a vacuum cleaner in his hand and a cigarette spotted more than once in his teeth

We arrived at the hotel at 10.00, put on the bracelets immediately, settled at 14.30. The room was given in the main building on the 4th floor overlooking the beautiful palm trees (although we had a bungalow).
Finally, I understood what it means when people write in reviews about food “You won’t stay hungry. ” This is when out of 50 dishes in the dining room 30 with eggplant. I think I ate this goodness not one year in advance. Last year, I went to Sharm with my daughter for 11 months, took a suitcase of baby food with me, brought half back, because there was always something to give the child from the common table. This year I didn’t always find for myself, Meat dishes are spicy to the point of horror. Once, after a spoonful of pasta, my eyes almost popped out on my forehead (sorry, you can’t say otherwise). True, there were days when you could eat, probably the chefs changed. By the way, throughout the Golden Five complex in all restaurants, the menu is the same, but it was said that Emerald had the best cook.
When I read about the “Huge territory of the complex of 7 hotels”, I imagined that it would be a stadium on the floor of Kyiv. In vain... If you do not take into account Topaz and Sapphire, which are located across the road, then any decent hotel in Turkey and Egypt has such a territory. One got the impression that wherever someone snatched a piece of land, he built “whatever” there. It seems that everything is beautiful, but there is no single picture, it is peeling there, broken here. I did not like that the passage from the hotel to the sea is one continuous bazaar, when you walk by the hands, they grab them into the stalls. Muck. Impression 3.
Water park fairy tale! Out of 5 slides, 2 are faster to get off on foot than to slide down. My husband's entire back was scratched from the joints. The water in the pool is incredibly cold. Tiles are falling off the bottom.
The sea is good, the entry is convenient for both adults and children. There are few sun loungers, but if you don’t sit near the dining room, but move away, you can always find it. I liked the beach near Emerald.

Excursions bought on the street at half the price. Very impressed with Luxor. Pyramids "nervously smoke aside"
If you want to save money, then in principle you can go, the sun is always bright, and the sea is warm, and of course you didn’t want to leave. But this is the first hotel in my life where I do not want to return)))))))))))
