I will write a little about our trip. Chose a hotel for a long time, stopped at this one. The combination of price / quality is good. In order.
Departure from Odessa on time, without complaints, upon arrival in Sharm, taught by the reviews, they didn’t go with the whole crowd to storm the counter with visas, but straight to the control, Sinay Only and that’s it, to the exit)) As people accumulated at the bus, it turned out that the visas bought almost everything, but more than half were not going to go anywhere beyond their hotels, and did not know that a visa is optional. As a result, I was almost to blame for why I didn’t tell about it on the plane))) Conclusion: read the reviews and prepare for the rest more carefully.
In this hotel we were only the two of the whole crowd, it gave us hope for a normal holiday. Everything was arranged at the counter in 10 minutes, they gave me a number, I went to look, a very good room, 3rd floor, a view of the pool, the sea, the mountains are barely visible - I liked it. No surcharges or extortion of money. Everything is fine in the room, the little things were like cracks in the corners and the broken light bulb on the balcony did not strain, I did not specifically look for flaws. Conclusion: number for 4+.

The weather was pleasing, the sun, everything is as always, but for 5 days in a row the wind was not very good, it was a little uncomfortable after the pool. The sea, (for me personally) was cool, so I only swam a couple of times, so I was in the pool all the time. The mooring to a depth of 400 meters is a long walk. Pools 3 pieces, heated only in the bottom. The territory of the hotel is huge, everything is well-groomed, beautiful lawns, trees, a stream with bridges and so on - beautiful.
The food is good, everything was in abundance, when they write dissatisfied reviews, I sincerely wonder what these comrades want... Food for 5 points. The lack of mugs was a little annoying sometimes in the mornings, they didn’t have time to wash, also, the habit of our Slavs to arrange gatherings after meals, there were not always places to eat, but if you walk in the middle of a meal, then there were no problems. The flies were very annoying, yes.
The main contingent is Italians, British, % 25 of our ex-USSR. As usual, they are the ones with the most problems. They speak loudly, they are always in a hurry to eat, as if they will take it away, rake in excess of the physical capabilities of a person to eat))) and then they throw out half and other things that characterize "ours"... Alcohol. I don't drink much, but I've tried everything. Beer is practically without alcohol, you can drink at least a barrel - you won’t go numb)), gin is more or less like vinegar, brandy and whiskey.
Near the hotel, a couple of markets, many shops, incl. METRO 4 banks are right next to the exit, there are no problems with the exchange.
Pros: clean, quiet, food is enough and very good, the room is good, water is always from the tap.
Cons: WARNING! There is no free internet anywhere in the hotel, only for 15 euros per day, there are flies in the dining room and near the pool, there is not much entertainment, the sea is cool, and of course "our" people, genes and vovans)) A little, but enough not to forget the Motherland) )
If you want to sunbathe calmly, go to the sea, or the upper or lower pool, they don’t pour beer there, so there are no ours and you can safely swim and sunbathe, and there is no mass psychosis with collective jumping in the water to music that is stupefying in volume to the movements of Arab ringleaders) There will be questions - write...
