Lived in the hotel Tiran Sarm 5 *. There was no extra charge, and although we had paid for a view of the garden, we were given a room on the second floor of the fourth building with direct sea views. It was cooler on the ground floor, where the leather room under the terrace has its own pool, sunbeds and umbrella. But for the first floor they demanded an additional payment of $ 50 per day.
So although our room was closest to the sea, going there was about the same as in Greece from our hotel, located on the main street of the city.
At the restaurant dress code, which went to the Old Town (Old Market area), a taxi costs $ 15. one way (cheaper in Hurghada), buying two pairs of pants, because leaving their own in Kiev. Then half of the people in the restaurant were in shorts.

It turns out you don't need to go to the Old Market or Naama Bay. Exit the hotel and go left for 20 minutes and there is the Metro and many shops. Prices such as Old Market. This time they bought about 25 kg from Metro. fruits: mango, grapes, cherries, dates.
According to the rules, you can carry 20 kg of luggage per person, but one suitcase can not weigh more than 32 kg. In luggage we hand over one suitcase of 31 kg. , it is good that the room has weight. Fruit in another small suitcase and carry as hand luggage. At the airport I pretend that it is very light. There have never been any problems with fruit at airports. By the way, when returning from Egypt, people simply carried two bottles of water to the plane. I don't think they would have missed them in Boryspil.
It was not very hot in Sharm, one day there was a strong wind, it was so cold by the pool, and it was impossible to lie on the beach at all.
Sunbeds are occupied in the evening, only once in the evening seeing an unoccupied turtle. I went to the beach at 6 am, then occupied 8-10 sunbeds in the first row from the center. In this regard, I liked Greece with its beaches, you come and lie on your towel for free, and for 6 euros a bunch of free sunbeds.
The beach is big, a beautiful reef, you can not go to the Ras Muhammad Reserve (we went, $ 30 by boat), fish stand right under the shore (obviously, people feed).
A big plus, which is to say about the level of the hotel - the lack of bracelets.
The population of the hotel 40% are Italians, 40% Russians, 10% Ukrainians, were Belarusians. The Baltics communicate with Russian-speaking animators exclusively in English. Animation boss Natasha from Belarus will take the boy on stage and ask him where you are from. He corresponds to "from Lithuania". Natalia "translates": "from Lithuania". Like this.
The animation is generally unobtrusive, but there is. The hotel has a salon "Princess".
We went to evening shows, I played volleyball.
If you want to drink tea or something else, it is better to do it at the bar at the reception. I liked the cappuccino.

In the dining room, which is proudly called the restaurant, live sparrows that bite your rice while you leave the table. Therefore, it is better to sit at a table away from the window and closer to the distribution.
Went to the Italian ala carte, the waiter from the general restaurant and no menu. Once we had lunch on the beach in the "Goldfish". You can go there by appointment at least every day, but such a desire did not arise.
In the bathroom, to prevent water from flowing from the shower to the floor, the bathroom door should be kept open.
Beach towels are changed in the room.
In duty-free prices are the lowest in Boryspil, so it's best to buy here on departure.
