PROS:
- Large clean, beautiful territory;
- security (for two cottages around the clock opposite sat one guard, not leaving even for lunch);
- two swimming pools;
- polite staff who knows Russian;
- there are few people in the dining room and on the beach;
- equipment works properly: air conditioners, lighting;
- a clean pool (cleaned at 20.00), where you can swim in the morning, afternoon, evening and night;
- close, across the road is Il Mercato;
- the hotel manager was constantly wondering if everything was in order with us.
MINUSES:
- weak animation (for 9 days there were only 3 times: aqua aerobics and concerts);
- 90% of the Arabs from Egypt and Jordan from the total population of the hotel.
We have been choosing a place and a hotel for a long time. Price (52000 with all fees for three 7 days / 8 nights, family room, sea view), not far from the sea (no further than 2-3 hotels if you walk), next to, across the road, "local Broadway" - a shopping complex Mercato, solid territory, 2 swimming pools with bars, food - "all inclusive".
The first thing we did when we went on vacation was to look at reviews about the hotel (old name: GRAND SHARM RESORT, new name: Poinciana Sharm Resort) on various sites and ...we were horrified! ! ! But, without letting ourselves be misled, we chose this hotel (but listened to the opinions).
Carefully collected things, not forgetting:
passports
tickets
flight check-in
medicines
shampoos
liquid soap
iron
tennis rocket
panama
swimwear
charging device
a laptop
English-Russian dictionary
and other.
Remarkably and in a timely manner, at about 17.00 local time, accompanied by the TEZ-tour company, we reached the hotel and were transferred to the reliable hands of the hotel administration.
No money was paid for the "VERY CLEAN ROOM" and, let's be honest, it lived up to our best expectations: two rooms, clean, TV (two Russian TV channels: "first" and "planet"), air conditioners (cold), balcony (second floor), sea view - BEAUTY! ! ! The bathroom has everything and everything works!
But it would be better if it had not been completed - there would have been fewer people on the beach.
The beach has a large multi-tiered territory, there are no people: wooden deck chairs with mats, wicker deck chairs, 2 showers with fresh water, 2 toilets. Low access to the sea, both from the pontoon and from the shore (but corals interfere), from the pontoon you can observe a wide variety of fish. They even managed to bite us, although this had never happened before. The son was stung by a jellyfish. The doctors on the beach immediately provided first aid free of charge, anointed the burn, which passed very quickly, and you could safely continue diving (1 dive - 35 US dollars, two -50).
It was possible to return to the hotel by bus either at 10.45, or at 14.45, 17.00. If you don't have time, go on foot. We've arrived.
Then - to the pool and for lunch.
Lunch at the hotel started at 13.00. The restaurant was separated from all the buildings of the hotel and stood alone. Had several entrances both from the hotel and from the street. The hall is huge. The people - only 4-5 families (the rest, what - did not eat? ).
The assortment is varied: soup, pasta, fried potatoes, eggplant, beans, boiled vegetables, fried fish, goulash, cucumbers, tomatoes, salads, cabbage, pickled vegetables, something else, sliced oranges, sometimes melon, watermelon, always sweets : cakes, pastries, oriental goodies. In general, you can't try everything. Come - as much as you want. Many didn't even eat. The tables are well and beautifully set, the waiters cleaned the dirty dishes on time, without being reminded, the air conditioner works. Soothing music plays. I do not want to leave.
Separately, I would like to note the weak work of the animators. Water aerobics - not every day, evening show - rarely. But when the guys were not lazy, everyone was happy to join the animation program, which helped to unite and reduce the interethnic barrier.
But still it was not boring: we went to the sea - swam in the pool - played table tennis - swam in the pool, jumped from the side - walked along El Mercato - went to the market for souvenirs - ate ice cream at McDonald's, drank a cocktail - moto safari - Tiran island - diving. There was not enough time for animation.
The holiday turned out great.
The day before departure, they extended the room reservation until 16.00 plus lunch (later they found out that the bus to the airport would be at 18.35 - until 18.00 - free of charge) for $ 20 for three.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! ! !
Only one thing from those taken with them was not useful: a Russian-English phrase book (all the workers knew Russian) - I had to take it away without using it once.
Separately, a review of the TEZ guide, who was supposed to accompany us at the hotel.
Unfriendly, constantly late for meetings, not knowing the procedures and features of the hotel, unwilling to resolve conflict situations between visitors and the administration receives a rating of - 2 (unsatisfactory).
