Hello! The reviews were very helpful when choosing a tour and in general in general! So I decided to do my bit and finally confuse tourists when choosing a hotel! I'll start in order!
HOTEL - Sol y Mar Sharming Inn.
Vacationers: charming girls 25 years old
Rooms. There were problems with the settlement. Since we arrived in the afternoon and, as we were told, all the rooms were occupied, we were initially settled in 201 rooms. This room is located right behind the reception, the view from the window to the household. Yard and wall. The room itself is normal, but it is not possible to stay in it. First, according to the household The staff constantly roams around the yard and looks into the windows. Secondly, at night (and not only) the entire reception is on your head. They did not want to change the number on the same day (they referred to the fact that there were no free ones). And on the trail. the day started “football”, then come after 11 (oh, what a pity there is nothing), then come up after 15 (oh, we remember about you, but there is nothing). In general, until we paid $ 30, we were not relocated anywhere.
Then they gave me just a wonderful room 359 overlooking the pool, and on both sides of the Stuff room, that is, there were no noisy neighbors. So advice, ask for the main building and the 3rd floor. The rooms themselves (both Standard and Superrior) are not very large. TV (2 Russian channels), air conditioning (not noisy), refrigerator everything works! There is no hair dryer in the rooms! You have to ask and then wait! The safe at the reception is free of charge and no deposit is required for it. Tip, all sorts of minor problems (for example, glass cups instead of plastic ones, etc. ) are best resolved with cleaners. They respond very quickly, and there are no unnecessary questions, as at the reception.
Nutrition. The food is very good and very tasty. A lot of pastries (which is typical for Egypt), chicken (it is insanely delicious), there was always fish, a healthy food corner, national dishes, a lot of cakes and all sorts of sweets, enough fruits (oranges, bananas, lime - all the time, as well as dates , strawberry, melon, guava (for 10 days.
2 times), something like grapefruit, and something else like Chinese boxes (we put this in Ekibans) . Juices, as elsewhere, are powdered. Alcoholic (local) normal, except for white wine. Beer is very light, red wine is quite tasty (for those who like dry wines), cool sambuca (aka onyx vodka). Cocktails can be made at the on-site bars. In the Lobby bar, I taught them how to properly serve sambuca (set it on fire with coffee beans) so you can safely ask!! ! You don’t need to write anywhere for alcoholic drinks, they bring everything quickly (at least that’s how it was with us). The All Inclusive system is open until 24, Lobby bar until 2 am. But even after 24.00 you can ask for tea, they will give it without problems (checked). From the main restaurant you can safely steal buns (to feed the fish) and fruits (to the beach). But frankly, I do not recommend doing this. The bag was never checked when leaving the restaurant.
The only "but" is that during long excursions they pack a bad dry ration, really only rolls.
Entertainment. Animation in the hotel is. Every evening there are some show programs (the truth has never been to them, although they were touting). Water aerobics in the morning (were not there either). Afternoon water games. There is even some kind of dance studio (most likely discos were held there, I don’t know for sure). Lots of entertainment for children (mini disco in the evenings, playground). There were no animators on the beach. There is a hookah bar on site (for an additional fee - $ 4). I highly recommend to go there. There are very cool hookah makers Ashar and Fyodor from the souvenir shop (as he calls himself). The guys are just great (without unnecessary hints and intrusive service). Ashar knows 1000 tricks, constantly jokes and amuses (only speaks English). Fedor knows Russian well. Easily put Russian. music and tell different stories. In general, you will not miss the hookah! Huge HELLO guys!
Staff. Very polite and welcoming. Served quickly. Always ready to help. On occasion they always joked (bartenders, waiters). All this does not apply to the staff at the reception (there, such an impression, they only want to earn money). True, girls, be prepared for the fact that you will have extensive male attention (they always want to either stroke your hand, play some kind of game, invite you for tea / coffee). Well, this is typical for Egypt (as well as for Turkey) everywhere.
Beach. Near the hotel there is a public beach (entry 10 pounds, after 5 free). I do not advise you to go there during the day to swim - there is just a terrible and not comfortable pontoon (concrete, and even sunken a little). True, you can come there at around 6 pm to sit in a cafe and look at dolphins (they always swim there in the evening). The beach is 12 minutes from the hotel. at least (spotted). There is a bus from the hotel, but it is old and not big. i. e.
it happened that it was jammed. Therefore, I advise you to walk (does not hurt). First bus at 9.00. But I advise you to come to the beach before the bus. Not because then there will be no places (there have always been places, the beach is 2-level), but simply in order to take your favorite places. On the beach from the hotel they give only water (tea, sweet water) and buns / sandwiches. Alcohol is not provided! The beach is simply superb - a comfortable and not long pontoon (100 meters), plastic sunbeds (you can turn it in any direction without much effort, not like wooden ones), there is a diving center nearby (you can rent a mask or go scuba diving right on the beach). Well, I won’t talk about the beauty and wealth of the Red Sea!
Tours. We were on 3 excursions in 10 days. 1st to Cairo (cost - $75). I advise you to buy this tour from a hotel guide. Firstly, there will be a good and comfortable bus, and secondly, there will be good Russian. guide and Russian
The trip was just amazing. Highly recommend. A wonderful boat, well fed, good escorts, interesting fellow travelers. And do not be afraid, dive with scuba gear - you have never seen such beauty. No wonder the place is reserved! So my advice to you is to buy long excursions from a hotel guide (better organized), and you can safely take small ones on the beach.
In general, about Sharma. The whole party in Sharm is located in Naama Bay (a taxi from the hotel costs $ 2 (per car), no more. Bargain and if not the 1st, then the 2nd taxi is lucky) In addition, the bus also carries for free. Of the clubs there is Pasha (music - sausage), Hard Rock (music - pop), Litlle Budda. (music - trance), Black House (I don't know what kind of music, I haven't been there). I can’t give you an idea about the cost of entering the clubs, since we went for free (as the circumstances were). The only thing on Wednesdays in Litlle Budda for girls is free admission.
I also advise you to go to the Panorama in Naama (to smoke a hookah) and to the embankment. Shopping is best done in the Old Market (from the hotel by taxi max $ 2, or even for 7-8 pounds you can bargain). Well, you need to bargain there to the last. Reduce price initially min. by 70%, and then you can raise it to 50%. I don’t know how to bargain at all, but I learned there! So just be persistent and you'll be fine.
In addition, I advise you to go (by taxi max $ 1, but still it’s better to take a walk) to the Al Leila Waleila entertainment complex (or 1001 nights, or Fantasia - it’s all the same) . . There is the best national performance. The show starts at 21.00 and consists of 2 parts (total cost is $15). The 1st part is the history of Egypt, the 2nd starts at 23 and there are already some dances and other numbers (the cost of the second part is 15 pounds). I advise you to go at least 1 time and only for the 2nd part. The star of the program is Tito. He moves in such a way that the young ladies dancing nearby seemed to be fixed cows.
In addition, it is very cool inside - a lot of angles for photos.
That's basically all I wanted to say. Sorry for uploading so much.
Go to rest with a good mood, react to everything easier and the rest will be just amazing. Huge hello from me to Sharma. I will definitely go back there, but to another hotel. I just don’t like to rest in the same place 2 times and I want to be closer to Naama. Although, maybe I’ll go to Sol y Mar Sharming Inn, in general it will be seen.
Oh yes, a huge hello to Tanya and Andrey from Ryazan and Kristina and Oksana from Lvov.
