Hello everyone. Most recently I was vacationing in Sharm with my loved one. Before that, we had already traveled to Hurghada and Antalya. But this holiday was the best for me. I'll start with the location of the hotel. It is located in the old part of the city, on a street with about the same small hotels. Reef Beach (a paid beach with a stunningly beautiful underwater world, a break of several kilometers! ) is only a 10-minute walk. Entry to the beach costs $5. Not long drive from the airport. 15 minutes later we were already there. A gazelle goes to the free beach (bay) every day at 10:00, she returns at lunchtime, and then takes her away again. The ride is not long - 12 minutes. More winding around the city. You can also walk if you wish. also not far from the hotel is the street "ilmercato". It's very beautiful there. There are also cafes and shops. Also on the way to the paid beach you can find a small restaurant with gazebos. You can eat cheap and tasty there. We ordered a margarita pizza (20 pounds = 120 rubles) and a jacket (15 pounds = 96 rubles). There, on the way to Reef beach, there is a super market where juice is sold at the lowest price (8 pounds = 48 rubles).
The hotel is small in size. Several 2-storey buildings stand around a beautifully designed pool with a fountain. On the territory there is a small shop with souvenirs, oils, jewelry. A very friendly seller works there, ready to accept payment even in Russian rubles. I noticed that Russian music is constantly playing in the shop. There is Internet, but it is paid and only on the territory of the reception.
The hotel rooms are standard and small. Everything is nearby: a bed, tables, a wardrobe with a safe, a TV, a bathroom combined with a toilet. At first, the pipes were noisy in the room, but after our complaint, everything was fixed. The TV shows a couple of Russian channels. Russians are usually given rooms on the first floor (for security reasons). There are also triple rooms. Our windows overlooked the shady side (opposite to the pool). There was no balcony, but this did not upset us much, because. were almost never in the room. Sun-facing rooms have balconies. The air conditioning worked well and the floor was tiled. Were removed somewhere in a day. They wiped the floor, made the bed, changed towels, did not remove the dust. Even a couple of times they made figures on the bed in the form of hearts, fish.

The staff is friendly, not intrusive, everyone knows their job. They speak Russian at a level below average, but this does not interfere with understanding each other. The waiters do an excellent job: take away the plates on time, remember all requests. We, for example, were brought two glasses of ice every evening without being reminded.
We would have taken half board, but it was quite enough for us (because we were on the beach all day, and if we wanted to eat, we ate in restaurants, but it was only 2 times). The cuisine is typical for the host country. There are also vegetables and fruits. Very high-calorie sweets, pies, pastries. After 5 days, I already began to get bored and ate much less than in the first days. Constantly give sausages (not real), eggs, potatoes, rice. From drinks coffee, tea and invite. There is also a bar on site, but we have never been there.
The beach to which the gezel goes from the hotel is sandy, there are no fish there (except that they saw a pipe fish a couple of times), but it is full of entertainment such as buns, cheesecakes, a banana, a parachute. We took the last one. The spirit captures, but only at first. Such money (750 rubles per person) is not worth it. The entrance to the sea on this beach is convenient, you can go barefoot. On the same beach, you can freely move in other directions. We walked towards the open sea, behind the rocks. There are small reefs. We saw a lionfish and a stingray there.
There is no animation in the hotel, but we did not need it. A very relaxing holiday, left to itself.
For children there is a little space in the pool, chairs in the dining room.
In general, we really liked the hotel. Everything we wanted, we found in it. A lot of Russians rested with us, but this holiday did not spoil, but on the contrary. We talked, shared our impressions, went to the beach together. We concluded that we had chosen the area of ​ ​ the city correctly, because it is not noisy (unlike nyamabey), and it’s not far to go to our favorite coral beach. We recommend this hotel as the best combination of price and quality. If you have low requirements for a hotel, then this is the best option. We wish you a pleasant stay and vivid impressions.
