I will say right away that we were very satisfied with the rest. And now everything is in order. I monitored prices for a long time, chose a hotel and settled on this hotel in terms of price-quality ratio. The cost of our tour was $547 without the TA discount, so we didn’t really count on the stars from the sky. I wanted to swim and relax, and, of course, in normal conditions . . The hotel lived up to expectations.
• Arrived in Sharm at 8 am, were at the hotel at 9-30. We put our suitcases, handed over the documents and went for breakfast and a walk around the hotel. Knowing that check-in at hotels from 14-00, they did not particularly count on an earlier settlement. We came up at eleven, clarified when it was possible to check in and we were kindly answered that the room was ready. We were accommodated in building 5, our category was standard, 3-4 minutes walk to the reception. Before checking in, go to the reception to the exit to the outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. Near the exit there is an electronic board with a hotel plan and decide what you need. We looked at the room and did not want to pay extra for a better category or closer. Two or three minutes of walking difference is not worth it. It all depends on what you have indicated in the voucher, that is, on the category of the room. For different categories, there are different buildings. The farthest building is 7, the room category is preferred. TAF-TAF / mini transport / travels around the hotel from 08:00 to 23:00, Stops every 100 m, but stops anywhere.
• The number is the usual standard, not killed, but not new either. Everything worked, the safe was free, tea, coffee in the room, plus a bottle of water 1.5 liters daily. Shampoos, soap were replenished daily, towels were changed if you throw them on the floor. They cleaned well, they left a tip, but not always.

• Wi-Fi is available only at the reception and in the pub, it's free, but the quality is not very good, so if you need internet all the time, buy a SIM card at the airport. There is an ATM on site.
• The territory is very large, well-groomed, clean, beautiful, constantly cleaned and maintained beauty. I liked the cactus garden, a lot of pools, a small water park. One heated pool overlooking the sea. A very beautiful infinity pool. The main restaurant has an outdoor terrace also overlooking the sea, so it is very nice to have breakfast and lunch with this view. The indoor pool is paid, but believe me, it is absolutely not needed. The beach is large, clean, it is constantly cleaned, towels are given out in two places, near the pool and on the beach. Change as many times as you want during the day. Since the hotel was eighty percent occupied, there were not many free sunbeds, but you could find them time. We came to the beach at 10 in the morning. And you could find it. There are steps on the beach, there are three small pools with a Jacuzzi and a small number of sunbeds. We saw a better reef, but there were enough fish, especially in the morning. drinks, tea, coffee from 10-00, hamburgers, fries, etc. from 11 to 17-00. protected from the wind.
• Meals at the hotel did not differ much in variety, but the choice was not small. Chicken, beef, duck, fish in different versions for lunch and dinner, salads, vegetables, stews and fresh. They gave crabs once. From drinks, tea, coffee, wine and at your discretion what you order to the waiters. Come not to the very opening, but after an hour, it will be free. chips and hot chocolate, but not for everyone. Near the heated pool in the bar they made pizza. A la carte restaurants are paid, $ 20 for two.
• The staff is always friendly, if you are to him as well. Several times I noticed the disdainful attitude towards him of our compatriots in the restaurant, which is extremely unpleasant. The staff is trying, but since the hotel is busy, they don’t always have time to fulfill the momentary requests of vacationers. And some absolutely don’t care that someone ordered coffee a minute before him, since I came, then everyone is spinning around me. Of the vacationers, almost all Ukrainians, a few Germans and Poles. Ukrainian "tagil" was sometimes present. But this does not apply to the hotel. When leaving the hotel, the staff stood in a row and saw off near the bus (ten people) and invited me to visit the hotel again. Check-out at 12-00, then an additional charge of 25 euros until 6 pm. suitcases at the reception and rested until the evening, you can use all the bars and the restaurant, as well as free towels. Bracelets are not worn at the hotel.

• For children, there are two cleared lagoons on the beach separately, there is a children's club with an animator from 10-00 to 17-00. I did not see separate baby food, but boiled vegetables were in stock.
• Animation was active, they were constantly invited to participate in events, both on the beach and on the territory of the hotel. There was always music on the beach and in the hotel. In the evening there was a mini-disco and some performances, including those invited. On the beach, animators hold drawings, we won a free tour to Tiran Island. Check with the animators for the time and date of the passage.
• There are no marketplaces outside the hotel. But the hotel has a free shuttle service to Soho and the mall. As well as a free three-hour tour of Sharm el-Sheikh. Come to the guides or at the reception and order.
• The weather was warm, we swam right from morning to five in the evening, even though the weather forecasters wrote 14-22, it was really warmer in the sun, but in the evening blouses are a must.
• The hotel is not luxury, but we liked it, especially since we plunged from winter into summer).
