Everything was great from the plane. They arrived, they didn’t buy a visa for $ 15 (for those who can’t write in English - they take $ 20). With a competent approach, you write in the emigration card "Sinai Only" (this visa is for 15 days, provided that you do not leave the Sinai Peninsula) and receive a stamp in your passport (Sinai visa) from the border guards. We arrived at the hotel at 21.30 local time. The room was "Standart" but given a great view. The porter gave 1$ and at the reception 1$. This is only my initiative, no one expected or demanded anything from me! On the next day, I was already aware of all the events. The hotel guide - Lenochka (Pegas Touristik) told me everything that I wanted and even more. Special thanks to her. For the entire stay, I gave out as much as $ 15 (all on my own initiative), so they even wrapped pancakes for me in an envelope and drew emoticons on them (boy - Hany). Water in this hotel is given at lunch and in the evening for 1.5 bottles (provided that it is unwound in front of you and poured into a glass). But, there was enough water for me. Muhammad, seeing me, rushed with water from the other end of the restaurant, putting it even unopened. Some unsatisfied Russian aunts complained that they were not given water for the third day in a row. Funny! After all, upon arrival at home, they will write the worst review about the hotel and staff! There is a lot of food, everything is tasty and satisfying (sorry, I'm not a gourmet, difloppe at $ 60 per serving is not my forte). You can’t get poisoned by anything, unless of course you didn’t drink vodka, cognac and beer at the wedding before, washing it all down with a martini, but poisoned yourself with a cookie! The rooms are good (clean, comfortable, figurines are made of towels), free safe. If you wish, of course, you can find something wrong, but I did not look - there was no time for this. At night - had sex, and spent the whole day on the beach, in the sea, at the volleyball net and of course the pool.
Leisure: Melia Sinai is a quiet hotel (there is little animation), but, if desired, everyone can visit Melia Sharm (200 m along the embankment from Melia Sinai). Maybe there was a bar there and it was paid for someone, but if there was a smile on my face, they poured me anything there for 10 servings, because. Went there all the time for a disco party. One "but", in the Melia Sharm bar they ask you to fill out a drink card (you write any room and any last name - and enjoy). Therefore, for one price, you have 2 hotels at your disposal, and this is a huge beach area (there is no shortage of sunbeds at all! ), pools, all infrastructure, 2 pontoons (in short, the one at Melia Sinai). The reef is a fairy tale, there are a lot of fish and there are no terrible man-eating sharks. I swim very well, I also dive super, so swimming along the reef for more than one hundred meters I saw only a couple of small, small and probably very frightened judging by their appearance. If you are an idiot, then you will feed the fish in the water, getting eggs and buns out of your shorts (a man cut himself on a scalpel fish in front of my eyes). Next time he will feed from a pontoon or learn to feed in the water, but it’s better from a pontoon.
The territory of the hotel inside and outside is all combed, everything is nice and clean. Near the lobby bar shops. I went there like home (talked with the local contingent). Abdullah speaks good Russian (so we even managed to talk about politics in Egypt). There is also a hotel photographer! Sticky, but if you "came out face"... I looked at a lot of pictures in his computer, some are even nothing, like the people in the pictures! I did not take pictures with him, so do not think that I was allowed to do this for money! My Olympus is good, and I managed to play around with its Nikon.

The general conclusion: you need to go on vacation with a positive attitude, and not look for flaws and shortcomings. You might think you live at home in a 5-storey mansion and you have 10 servants. Question: why did you come to Egypt? !
