We rested at the Creative Grand Sharm hotel for 4.2 weeks. I would rate the hotel 3+.
From the positive:
- great coral reef on the beach,
- the presence of 2 beaches (Diamond Beach - coral and Mexicana Beach - sandy)
- spacious rooms (2 rooms with a kitchenette)
- not far from the sea (600-700 m, as they wrote, 10-15 minutes - through the territory of the Iberotel Grand Sharm 5 * - a very beautiful area, or 2-3 minutes by bus from the hotel)
- punctual driver (drives exactly according to the hotel schedule - an excellent driver)
- a variety of sweet dishes (cakes, pastries, many different buns in the morning)
- friendly staff

From the negative:
- there are really few new rooms (the norm of rooms is 301-330) and agree to settle there only for money and perhaps not immediately - the sea is visible only from the 2nd floor. So there are only a few rooms with a sea view.
- in the suite (101-150) with a sea view (2 rooms with a kitchen) the furniture is painted somehow wild blue

- other minor imperfections in the shower - like a stack in the middle, and there is always water in the corner ...
- there are no Russian-speaking staff (at the reception they don’t understand Russian at all, and in the dining room only basic names, such as "tea", "coffee")
- the food is monotonous and there is almost nothing for breakfast except tea / coffee with buns. There is also: eggs, sausages for no reason, sometimes a mash card, crunches with milk and maybe one fruit salad, like "melon with orange"
- Drinks for dinner are quite expensive and there is no choice: water about 5 liters = 5 pounds, tea-coffee-juice = 9-10 pounds, medium scall wine = 30 pounds per glass. Cocktails, fresh juices, etc. are not prepared for dinner.
- animation is almost non-existent (only music by the pool is sometimes included)
- there could be more plants on the territory
- they constantly poison some bugs, so it often "stinks" on the territory
- there are mosquitoes, including in the rooms

You can rest there! We had a great rest for 2 weeks and others recommend!
