The hotel was chosen based on budget possibilities based on reviews and comments (thanks to all the authors) and we made the wrong choice for me.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock. They settled immediately at no extra charge in the room that I asked for. The bracelets were given at 10 o'clock. Upon arrival, complimentary fruits in the room. Thanks to the hotel representative Dina for the attention.
Room 1344 is located in the main building with a nice view of the neighboring hotel and the sea. The location is good, very quiet and calm, the sun is only in the morning. The soundproofing is good, you can't hear anyone. The room is large, the number of rooms is a bit tired, but everything worked. Air conditioning is old, but worked fine, nothing without it. The first day the mosquitoes overcame, they asked for processing. Then the fumigator was used, we slept without problems. But they tried not to open the door to the balcony in the evening.

In the WI-FI room of the neighboring hotel, it worked weakly for several days, then stopped. In the morning, in a restaurant closer to the hall, you could pick up a signal, but also weak. Enough to communicate.
Cleaning in the room is normal, but the change of linen is not clear how. Every day, water was replenished by 0.5 liters of 2 bottles. The safe was not used, nothing was missing.
The beach is good, protected from the wind. The hotel is located in a bay, so there were no currents and waves of the sea. The water temperature was 25-26 degrees. And on one of the hottest days (42 degrees under an umbrella) it was already 27 degrees. The reef is good, I liked it more in the direction of the Four Seasons hotel. Lots of different fish. We saw a huge manta, stingrays, a large moray eel, and, of course, Napoleons. One of them is manual. Special thanks to the beachboys. The guys were great, they helped everyone and put on a show with the Napoleons. The people of the sutra amused themselves by swimming with them.
There are a lot of sunbeds, but old ones, but the mattresses are good. The beach is very clean. There is a small entry from the shore. One minus - the shower and toilet are inconveniently located.
The food is average. We understand that the crisis and save have to. But translating products is an unaffordable luxury at the present time. The stewed beef and fish were half-cooked. Yes, and potatoes were not always edible. True, rice and pasta of various kinds is nothing. Soups are good too. The chicken was normal.
No alcoholic drinks, diluted to obscene. But the beer was good. I did not like that one of the bartenders on the beach obsessively offered a bottle of alcohol for an additional fee. This begs the question, what was the drink diluted with and what does he sell then?
From 12-13 h a good snack by the pool. At 16-17h pastries in the bar, also near the pool.
We visited an Italian restaurant. For a four. The pizza was nothing. Everything else could have been skipped.
In general, we were not hungry, you could always find something to your taste, but there were better meals.
Animation. It exists, but the people are passive.

The area is very beautiful and well maintained. A real oasis. Bold plus for gardeners, they work like bees. The road to the beach was not annoying, it was interesting to look at the landscape.
The hotel is 30% full. They only live in the main building. And this is good. You didn't have to go to the restaurant in the heat, but through the passages of the building. The atmosphere in the hotel is calm and friendly.
We went with AnexTour. No complaints, everything is organized and on schedule. The hotel always has a guide, or rather there are three of them.
We have already been in Egypt 7 times, we were going to not go anywhere, but nevertheless we decided to take a sightseeing tour of Sharm from the operator. We thought that in the heat we would not wander around the city ourselves, but we wanted to see familiar places in Sharm. The tour from 16.30 to 22.30 included a visit to a mosque, an Orthodox church, the Tutankhamen Museum in Naama Bay, dinner in a cafe in the Old Town, and of course a couple of shops, how could it be without them. The group was small, the cheerful guide Muhammad Ali. We rode all over the city, and we did not regret that we went. Came vstupor from the silence on the streets. This is not at all the Charm that was before. Many hotels are closed. And in the Old City, merchants looked at us like we were museum pieces. It's a pity for them, some kind of longing. It's good that our hotel is located near Soho, at least it's livelier there.
Not without incidents. On the first day of our vacation, our balcony door slammed shut, and we sat on the balcony for 40 minutes. We chose a quiet room on our head, there was no one nearby. ) And only the driver from the neighboring hotel heard us, informed the reception, otherwise they would have sat until the morning))). As it turned out, we were not alone, even the guides who live in the hotel did not pass the same fate. The problem is in the design of the handles. Advice - do not completely cover the balcony if you went out together to get some fresh air.
Another slammed the door in the toilet tightly, turned to the reception, repaired immediately. Well, who doesn't. It happens even worse. ))

Minus the hotel - it's TV channels. Ukrainian two are not the best and I show them very unstable.
Our return flight was late. The number was not extended, the bracelets were not cut off for us, the cards for towels were not taken away, and after dinner, we spent time on the beach until 5 pm. Pick up 4 hours before departure. The check at the airport is serious.
Conclusion. Liked the hotel. Given the cost of the tour, miracles were not expected. Have a good rest, which is what I wish everyone.
