сильно НЕ советую strongly do not recommend

The hotel made such a strong impression on me that as soon as I returned, I immediately decided to write a review in order to warn others from a similar mistake. The general impression is a ghost town, in which the former greatness is guessed. Very beautiful architecture, but everything is in absolute decline. This hotel cannot be perceived as 5 stars at all now - a maximum of three stars. All the vacationers with whom I spoke there are in complete shock that they got there. And yet, Annexes, Join-up and probably other operators, as well as numerous agents, continue to sell this hotel and recommend it for families. Since there are few visitors, the hotel closed the entire infrastructure. Of more than 400 rooms, about 50 are occupied. The condition of the entire territory is such that you can shoot post-apocalyptic films. The impression that people left the hotel on the run and in one day. Cleaning of the territory is not carried out, there is garbage everywhere - bags, plastic and paper cups, broken beer bottles and dishes. Elevators are dirty, glass is everywhere dirty, muddy. The beach is not cleaned, the garbage is not taken out even from the garbage cans, ashtrays, not to mention the gobies from the sand. The food is monotonous, in the best traditions of public catering - what was not eaten yesterday was processed for today and even tomorrow. Many dishes were frankly sour. Therefore, in order to avoid poisoning, I had to eat very limitedly - rice and cucumbers, potatoes and cucumbers, bread and cucumbers. In the morning - fried eggs and tea with toast. Butter appeared only on the 8th day of our stay there. No juices, just this powdered Yuppie. No natural coffee - only instant, no good tea - only Lipton bags. From fruits - dates, no apples or bananas. And so 9 days in a row. During this time, only twice they cooked so that you could choose what you want to take - on the days when the Egyptian compatriots came. Then it was delicious - grilled meat, couscous and other national cuisine, but then it became very noisy, and somewhat uncomfortable from the increased attention of the natives. Hotel workers are predictably dishonest. Apparently they are paid so little that once again they do not move. Room cleaning was superficial even when leaving money and asking what exactly needs to be done. The room is very tired, the plumbing is partially broken, the stench is from the sewerage. Huge cockroaches lived and ran in the bathroom. The request for relocation (even for a surcharge) was ignored by the administrator, under the pretext that all rooms are occupied. On the 4th day, the electrician broke down (all sockets) - until the end of the stay, the electrician was never sent, each time I had to look for where to charge the phone. Of the pluses - the air conditioner worked well, water was brought to the room regularly, comfortable beds. I chose this particular hotel and those offered by the travel agent precisely because they promised a good infrastructure for the child. There was nothing promised, for example, a kids club or animation, which I was counting on so much. The water park worked only an hour a day, in the heat of the day, when only sitting in a room under the air conditioner. Internet is very expensive, $5 for half an hour, or $25 per day. Bars on the beach, and ALL restaurants are closed, you can’t talk about any All inclusive. Of course, you can’t buy anything on the territory, the shops are also closed and thrown right with the goods inside. You just need to go to the city, which is not always convenient. Of the good - the reef and the coral biosphere. They are absolutely magnificent, it was our only salvation, the sea and the fish. The guys from the company that deals with sea excursions on the beach also rent out snorkeling equipment. They went diving with them on a yacht, and dived on a bathyscaphe. Other hotels on the coast are also half empty, but according to the reviews of people with whom they returned on the plane, the situation with infrastructure and service is much better there. So now you can go to Sharm, but not to the Continental Garden Reef.
