After reading both negative (there were most of them) and positive reviews, I still ventured to go to this hotel. I'll start with the fact that the ticket was bought for a ridiculous price (I flew from Kyiv for 7000 UAH for two for 8 days), so I didn't count on "luxary" conditions. I was interested in the proximity to the sea (to walk, and not depend on the schedule of hotel buses, which are taken from line 3 to the beach) - and here is the first plus of the hotel - I lived on the territory in a house as close as possible to the sea, so for 7-10 minutes I was at the "Cote d'Azur", but even from the farthest building on the sea no more than 10-12 minutes walk (if you are young and active), you will go down the hill, so keep in mind that going down will be easier than going up, but climbing slowly will also not be much effort.

Many are interested in the question of the quality of the rooms - yes, they lack the master's hand to restore perfect cleanliness and make repairs.

But, as the practice of the 2nd trip to Sharm el-Sheikh showed, if you are ready to pay extra 10-15 dollars for a room and insist that you need "excellent", not killed and comfortable - you will get it (because the hotel not filled to the maximum - there are options), I changed the proposed number 3 times until I decided on the final result. I’ll share a life tip - the locals simply adore our chocolate, it’s worth its weight in gold for them (“Alenka” will be enough for the negotiations to be as successful as possible for you - and then you can pay less).

Having settled in, I had to clean the room, but for the rest of the rest we lived in cleanliness and comfort. In order to turn on hot water for us, we had to go to the reception and give an application, which we completed in the next 20 minutes. One more piece of advice - if you were told that everything will be arranged now, and they don’t, go and don’t leave the reception until they select either a person who will fulfill your request, or give you what you need.
The hotel has a problem with beach towels - people who flew in in the middle of our holiday did not have enough of them. It follows that take a beach towel once - and go to the beach with it until the end of your holiday!!!

The hotel area is cleaned, the management is trying to maintain cleanliness and proper appearance. I met a lot of malicious reviews about nutrition - yes, the assortment is the same type every day. But you won’t be hungry, you can take double portions - there was meat, fish, soup, side dishes - potatoes, rice, vermicelli in sauce, many salads, fresh vegetables, tea / coffee, drinks, sweets - baklava and biscuits, sometimes jelly and fruits (oranges and melon). Across the road from the hotel there is a small market where you can find both the fruits you are missing (dates, strawberries for $ 1 per tray, mangoes - $ 3 per kilogram), as well as souvenirs, swimming paraphernalia and excursion offers.

If you are going to All in clusive for the sake of an immense amount of alcohol, then you are in the wrong place - the alcohol here is bad, consisting of 3-4 items and the taste is the same, regardless of whether it is rum, cognac or vodka. Well, the most important thing - for the sake of which I flew to Sharm el-Sheikh - the sea and the sun. They are magnificent here - be sure to take a mask with you, the hotel has a fantastically picturesque coral reef and many beautiful fish that are not shy, and allow themselves to be seen from arm's length, or even closer. The pontoon is old, only one entry into the water is open, but it is enough for everyone and no one "twisted" their legs.
There is a lifeguard who makes sure you don't go too far and whistles if you go too far, but I like to swim further and look at the reefs that run parallel to the coastline, so here I advise you to either warn the lifeguard or do it wrong well like me - just ignore (this is bad advice, but valid)!!!

Promenade: we reached the Old Town and the Old Market on foot in 25 minutes, but without any problems you can get to any point you need by taxi, which are full here (be sure to bargain - everywhere and always!! ! ). There are no animators in the hotel, so you have to have fun yourself. And remember - who goes for what. If it is important for you to relax at a high level - it is better to buy a more expensive ticket to another hotel, if you are economically relaxing on the shores of the purest warm sea - then this option is for you. I wish you a great holiday!! ! )))
