So. We rested as a couple in September 2008, in the high season. In general, the hotel is satisfactory, but no more, I put a three. I immediately draw your attention to the fact that Sheraton consists of three parts: main building (5 *), resort - one-story houses (4 *) and two-story villas (4 *). Don't let yourself be ripped off.

At first glance, it is evident that everything is very old. The lock on the door breaks, the bulbs burn out, the air conditioner makes noise. Territory is good, green. We lived in Barracuda houses, with access to the pool and views of the island. Tyrant, of course, for 20 c. u. e. And settled, by the way, quickly, again, thanks to the twenty invested in advance.

The entire infrastructure is tailored for Italians and French, Russians, as elsewhere, on bastard rights. We got acquainted with the French, since my companion knows the language very well. I got by with English.


Feeding - like everywhere else, without frills such as lobsters and beach barbecues. Good draft beer, light and light.
Other "alcohol" is suitable for cleaning drains and disinfecting toilet bowls. Don't experiment, it's not worth it. Every day two bottles of water in the room, coolers everywhere, plus cola-fanta-sprite on tap. There were no problems with water.

Beach. In principle, with a stretch it can be called sandy. Clean, lots of urns. The beds and mattresses are old, heavy and uncomfortable. Enough for everyone, even in peak season. Ponton, very good coral. Stingrays, moray eels - there is something to see.

In the hotel: Russian disco and karaoke - no more entertainment is needed. Just looking at how a red-nosed PE in golfs and sandals sings "And a white swan on a pond ... " is already a pure buzz : ) As a friend said: "These are not tourists - this is fauna. "

Taxi to Naama Bay - 20 pounds, you can negotiate both ways - 35. We went a couple of times to discos - 100 pounds for no reason.
The old market (by the way, it has become more decent and cleaner) - about 30-35, I don’t remember. Buy a mango and understand how they cheat us in supermarkets : )
From the excursions - we took a motor safari with Bedouins and camels and a day on a yacht with snorkeling in Ras Mohammed. The first - for an amateur, the second - I liked it, although the coral is not particularly different from that of the hotel.

In terms of money: two weeks of AI cost us $ 1400 per person (from Domodedovo), which now seems to me a catastrophic overpayment : )

Summary: the hotel is old, and, like any complex structure, it has accumulated a bunch of unpleasant little things - breakdowns, imperfections, dirt, staff indifference, etc. If you snatched a commensurate amount for a vacation in our harsh times, then pick something decent for yourself.
