So ended our holiday in Egypt. We rested at Melia Sharm Hotel 5 * from 21.06 to 12.07. Despite the fact that we were there for 22 days, we would gladly return again. And now in order…. .
Accommodation and room.
We arrived at the hotel around 4:00 pm. They gave us a key card to the room and 2 cards for using towels and settled in without any problems. Room 4002 was quite decent. We didn't pay extra for the room. Its location suited us. Everything was in order in the room (hair dryer, TV, air conditioning, safe). There were two beds, but they were immediately changed into one in front of us. One of the bulbs did not work, but it was replaced at our request. The bathroom needed some minor cosmetic work. The room was cleaned every day. We swung a couple of times. Shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, hair conditioner a couple of times. When I needed something, I left a note. Nothing was missing from our room during our stay. For cleaning, as a thank you, money was left every day. The key to the room was often demagnetized (when they turned to magnetize and + issued a new one), and as a result, the door lock broke. Repaired within 2 hours.

Nutrition.
The restaurant is large and the air conditioning worked great. We rarely dined on the terrace....hot. The food was good: a variety of side dishes, veal - you will lick your fingers, fish, turkey, chicken, squid, grilled crabs. Everyone could find something to their liking. There were enough fruits (bananas, peaches, apples, orange, dates, melon, a couple of times watermelon). The pastry is very tasty. Grills were offered on the terrace every day. Everything was fresh enough. I advise you not to pay in cash when ordering fresh or other paid products or drinks. Sign the check. And it is best to pay several checks at the reception at once, it turns out cheaper. It is checked up at payment frashikov. Sometimes they left tips for the waiters, but I would not say that this affected the level of their attention to our couple. There is a bar on the beach where you can have a bite of french fries and burgers starting from 11.00. In a word, you definitely won’t stay hungry and you will bring those extra pounds home. I should note that we got used to food quickly (2 days for sure) and this almost did not affect our stomachs.
Leisure.
The animation does not work intrusively, but those who are bored can count on their attention. We visited a fire show and a performance with snakes, a disco, performances of clowns and folklore ensembles - to diversify the evenings - very much even nothing. There were not many vacationers with children, so the kids did not interfere with napping or reading on the beach. But the loud Italians strained, they communicate very loudly, and when their animators went to the beach, they did not talk, but simply yelled. So it is better to choose sunbeds away from them.
Beach.

The beach is large, there are enough sunbeds for everyone. Towels are not very new, and at the end of the day there are not always cards. I really liked the pontoon, the stairs are comfortable, but we dived straight from the pontoon). Only one thing can be said about the underwater world and the hotel reef - it is gorgeous. We didn't even go and dive somewhere else. Several times I went scuba diving (1 dive - $45). The shower on the beach was in poor condition and far from the pontoon. Near the pool, their condition was no better. Mainly used for children. The pools are clean, the water does not smell of bleach.
Melia Sharm Hotel 5 * we put a solid four.
