So, I'll start. There was a very early departure from Boryspil and bad weather, but in no way did this affect the idea that in 3.5-4 hours we would already be in the country of eternal summer. They did not buy a visa, because there was no need to buy it for the reason that we were not going to leave the Sinai Peninsula this time. Customs, a stamp in the passport, baggage claim - everything happened very quickly (however, there were never any problems with this in Egypt). Went with Pegas Touristik again. We were taken to the hotel at 11.00 am local time (no difference with Ukraine). Dreams Beach Resort 5*. At the reception they said that the check-in takes place at 14.00 or you need to pay an extra $20. We did not need instant check-in, because. dressed in summer (jeans, sneakers and t-shirts). They answered that we will settle as expected at 14.00. We were hung up with bracelets and said with a smile: "Welcome, the whole hotel is at your disposal. " It was easy to find all the entertainment, bars, what they give where, what they feed, etc. So we killed the time before lunch imperceptibly.
Accommodation: I write right away that it is not worth paying extra for the room (for the view), because. they are all the same and practically all with a sea view. The rooms are good. Bed, plasma (2 Russian-language channels), wardrobe, bedside tables, table, 2 chairs, bidet, shower. Everything is clean, the room was not smoky, decently, and even all the rooms seem to have a balcony (there is a table and two chairs). The bed was perfectly white, towels too. But the replenishment of shampoo, gel, soap, etc. - nothing is enough (until you ask! ). Almost all vacationers talked about this.
Territory: just huge. Lots of greenery and well kept. The hotel is connected to Dreams Vacation. No fences, crossings, etc. You just go and already in another hotel, where you can do everything the same as in your own (although it is written that you cannot dine in the main restaurant). There are minor shortcomings regarding the cleanliness of the alleys and paths, but I think that this is due to the same size (papers and cups are lying around somewhere). Leisure and Animation: there is a tennis court (until 17.00 you can play for free). Rackets are issued in the same place as beach towels. Animation no (sleepy, lazy and especially without enthusiasm). All the time they offer to go to the city disco for $30. Nafik is necessary, there is a ball disco right in the hotel (located on the right hand, if you stand facing the main entrance to the hotel). The entertainment included the singer during dinner (Ukrainian Natasha - well done). Here's a tribute to her! The lobby bar is not comfortable. Close. There are soft chairs around the tables (there are 15 tables in total), there is nowhere to turn around, there are no sofas. And in the evening I would like to lie down in pillows. Although, they pour 24 hours a day in "AI" (note, who consumes a lot). The attraction of the hotel is a water slide. I'll tell you that it's very personal. Only the cold water in the pool interfered (this one is not heated. Somewhere +15 (winter is still). Also, due to the cold water, the bar right in the pool did not work either. Gym (free of charge) near the heated pool (in the SPA-salon building ).

Food: a lot, everything is fresh, tried not to repeat. Shawarma was - you will lick your fingers. French fries, grilled seafood, grilled vegetables, pasta - it's all a little off to the side on the summer terrace of the main restaurant. There is also a morning portion of scrambled eggs. Baking - awesome. I have never seen so many cakes. All delicious). Ice cream - free (lunch, dinner). There were many fruits, enough for everyone (melons, bananas, pomegranates). The hotel never heard that someone was poisoned by something!
Drinks: All outside the main restaurant are served in disposable plastic cups. Cappuccino - for a fee! (in the Lobby bar and in the beach bar). Juices are yuppies. Beer is like beer, although draft (light is understandable), but if the goal is to swell, then you can!
Staff: janitors, gardeners, cleaners - did not pay attention. There are young people in the restaurant. Great guys, and not because we gave them dollars baksheesh. They themselves refused to tip, they said that they perceive us as friends. Remon - even tried to learn Ukrainian words))). They brought green tea, although it is not on the menu! And many, many good things were addressed to us from them.
Sea and beach: the beach is huge. There is enough space for everyone. Sun loungers, soft mattresses, towels - free of charge. Three pontoons. We sunbathed all the time on a wooden two-level platform, convenient (20 steps to go down to the beach bar, pancakes are not served here). The pontoons are small. From the middle one you can dive perfectly (it is above the water). Reef - none. Dying I understand. But you can dive and see the fish. Crabs roam along the shore. Rocky terrain, i. e. The beach seems to be carved into the rocks. There is not even a hint of sand, so you really need to be careful with children (cliffs everywhere). Not a children's hotel, I'll tell you.
General conclusion: a well-maintained hotel with a huge green area. There is where to walk, relax, relax, both in the morning and in the evening. Everything is quiet, calm and stress-free. We went to this hotel in part, because it was possible to walk to the Old Market and the surrounding areas and streets. Rest was a success.
