The shores golden resort 4* hotel is one of the three hotels in the shores system. Located in the center of Sharma near the El Mercato shopping center. Hotels shores amphoras 4 * and Aloha Resort 4 * are located on the first line, golden on the second. Aloha Shores we pass following to our common beach. Walk 7-10 minutes. There was a bus going to the beach every half an hour.
Hotels are generally considered pro-Italian, as the resting public is mostly from there.
There were four of us, we wanted to actively relax and have fun.
The level of the hotel turned out to be quite high, judging by the furniture, plumbing, etc.

The staff didn't react to our arrival. We arrived at about 12.00. We settled in at about 14.00. This is the order, although for a long time I was digging numbers on the computer. We wanted to give mana for the settlement, we decided later, if we don’t like it, we’ll change it. We lived in the central building. Everything suited us, although in two rooms the balcony doors did not close for constipation, since the second floor. The little man who brought our things was given a tip. Then we realized how lucky we were with housing. Walking around the interior, we noticed that in some places there was always a sewer smell.
The rooms were cleaned every day, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, towels and bed are clean.
There is a safe in the room so you can leave your valuables there. Water in the room had to be carried and stored for the night itself. The balcony door was practically not opened, so no one could fly in to us, and they were not there. Every day, except for weekends, in the evening, insects were persecuted throughout the territory, sometimes we also got haze.
We were most interested in what we came here for - the sea. The sea is warm up to 28-29. The air was 26-27. It was quite comfortable. There were practically no ships sailing here. True, sometimes when a boat sailed near the shore, the stench reached us . .
Entrance from the pontoon. True up to 1.5 m. you can go from the shore and swim too, and see the fish. Entrance from the pontoon depth immediately 50m. We did not hear about sharks then, but we saw small ones and in shallow water.
On the pontoon, a lifeguard, who, under an umbrella and in trousers, did not allow to swim over the buoys, both further into the depths and in shallow water, so that they would not get hurt on the corals. In short, you can swim only at a depth near the reefs, watching the fish, and there are a lot of them. You can safely buy a tube and a mask here, even cheaper than at home.
The beach is clean, conditionally divided into two sectors, on the right, mostly Russian speakers, on the left, mostly Italians.
Animators on the beach are only Italian, since the beach is very large and, if desired, Italian. speech can be barely heard, although in the center of the beach they apparently pestered with incomprehensible words. In general, the animation on the beach is very harmless and is aimed at almost all active categories of vacationers. There is beach volleyball.
Although towels were brought from the hotel, but if necessary, leave them, they lay until our return. We went swimming all together, left photos, videos in bags, no one touched anything - the level.

Meals in Shores are provided in one restaurant.
They fed well. Enough meat dishes, fish, chicken, various salads, fruits (bananas, oranges, dates, persimmons, etc. ). As for sweets, it is rather necessary to dwell separately, the choice is large and tasty and for everyone, various cakes, jellies, pastries and similar sweets. In the yard, on the fire, they did different things: fish-seafood, elements of meat-chicken, various dough-works that were incomprehensible to us. True, the cooks from the grill were handing out meat and fish, as they were tearing them away from themselves (for some reason they gave more for their own), at first it was surprising, then they realized that we were full, and they were hungry.
In the restaurant (canteen) you can pour yourself non-alcoholic drinks. Beer from bottles, white wine, red pours a man. The eating place in the building is equipped with air conditioners, they are not on the terrace, but the view of the first pool. The service is good, there are always places, and if not, then their friend always found for us. He brought us drinks, and we occupied a table. The staff was quick and there were always enough seats.
Vacationers of our hotel are provided to use three bars.
The bar on the beach opened at 10 o'clock. Drinks: water, sprite, pepsi-cola. Beer, coffee for money. There is no alcohol. Closer to dinner, they gave finely chopped sausage fried with vegetables, pizza, tortillas instead of bread, french fries, once we caught elements of chicken with salads, spicy dressings, ketchup all the time. In short, if you wish, you can skip lunch.

The bar at the second pool started working around 10 am. Soft drinks were the same as on the beach, self service. The bartender pours beer from bottles. Alcohol: vodka, rum, whiskey, brandy, gin. Everything except vodka almost tastes the same, sometimes the color. They poured normally, offered to buy bottles for dollars. The bar was open late, there was no need for additional alcohol. Although for an amateur - it was better to stock up in a dutik.
Towels were provided at the second pool. With them it is planned to follow the sea, as there are no towels. The exchange for cards of used towels was made until 17.00. In the morning, towels were not changed, but only given out.
Our animators were at the second pool during the day. The program was of a sporting nature, with an emphasis on water activities, music played. Here you can also play table tennis for free, work out on simulators, which are on display in a fairly wide range. In the evening, there was a center here, a bar worked, and there were competitions.
The first pool bar is located close to the dining area (restaurant). Here, in addition to soft drinks, you can make yourself coffee. Towels were given out here only for the use of this pool.
Twice, by appointment, we visited the a la carte restaurant, in Aloha and in Amphora. There are no ordered meals. Drinks for good money. The food was good, a couple of tables, people prostrate. In Aloha, tables were set up near the pier on the sand in the evening. They brought everything they wanted. It's nice to have dinner near the sea in good company. In Amphora they offered a buffet - salads, sweets, dishes according to the knurled program, the portions are large, they were satisfied.
In the evening, after dinner, a promenade is possible along the evening street. spruce mercato. Walk 5 minutes and there is an opportunity to buy souvenirs.
We went through TEZtour. Constantly from the company someone was in the hotel. I still can’t understand how the guides could represent our interests, if they are Egyptians, rather their goal was to earn money from us. After the first briefing, on the day of arrival, our Mukhtar said that you need to go on excursions only through him (teztour) and took our insurance, because, according to him, if you go through other operators, insurance will not be valid. We went through others, the prices for excursions are much lower. We had another copy of insurance.

The impression from the rest was good. Being not the first time in the country, they realized that the influx of people is increasing, the service bar is lowering, no one is happy with your presence, few people smile at you, even at the reception no one greets you, everyone just wants gratitude from you for everything - money, in short, maintenance, everything becomes very similar to our long-forgotten South Coast.
I recommend this hotel to visit
