Good day to everyone who will read my review about this hotel and about the rest in Sharm el-Sheikh. I am writing a review as a person who flew to Egypt for the first time and does not have any special requests for relaxation. The airport is “prehistoric materialism”, no computers, all registration of arrivals is manual entry into the log, and 2 border guards record people from three flights in the log. Well, maybe we were so lucky to fly. We got to the hotel quite quickly, in 30 minutes, taking into account check-in at several hotels. Since there were few vacationers in the hotel, they settled immediately upon arrival at around 10 am. We were given the number 520. The phrase sounded at the reception - a good number, close to the elevator! And only when we settled into the room, we realized what this phrase means. There are 521 rooms on the floor and ours was the penultimate one. The number of steps from the elevator to the room is 150! Looking ahead, I’ll say that during the day the pedometer measured from 1.000 to 1.000 steps around the hotel.
The rooms are quite dated but were cozy and comfortable from the size of the room and the large balcony overlooking the sea. If you are in this hotel, wake up at 5-20 in the morning and look at the sunrise! A very beautiful and mesmerizing sight! The photos are just amazing! Upon request, a bathrobe and slippers were brought to the room. Separately, I want to note the cleaning of the room. The man cleaned very conscientiously. Linen was changed every day. There were no issues with towels and soap accessories. Everything was in abundance. Huge thanks to him for this!
Food: here the assessment is not unambiguous. Breakfast is good, there is a lot to choose from. I really liked the freshly squeezed orange juice (only it must be ordered, otherwise they will bring the usual juice from the concentrate). I liked the hot dessert in the form of choux pastry with nuts. Lunch: this was the worst in this hotel! Lunch was organized not in a restaurant, but in a cafe on the beach. The menu is customized and monotonous.
Sometimes I had to wait in the heat for a table to be free. Salads are terrible, sometimes the leaves in the salad are of poor quality. Vegetables for a side dish for the main course are generally half-baked, as if they were cut and doused with boiling water. Soups and desserts are the same. Our lunch ended up being pizza and beer. Tip - in order not to wait for a drink to be brought to you for lunch, it is better to order it immediately in the same bar before having dinner. Dinner: there were no questions, there was always something new. I liked breaded fish, fish in dough, duck with orange sauce, beef, lasagna. Desserts are monotonous and all taste the same. The most delicious dessert is strawberry jelly. From drinks you can take red wine. We drank it diluted with water. It is better not to take white, because it tastes terrible. Medium quality coffee and tea. Due to the small number of people, there were no queues for breakfast and dinner. Tables were always free.
The waiters are friendly guys, always with a smile on their faces. At dinner, the chef always came out and asked if everything was okay.
Internet: only in the lobby on the 7th floor, no internet in the rooms. If you need internet everywhere in your room and on the beach, then right there in the hotel where there are souvenir shops in one of the shops you can buy a local SIM card with internet connection. The price depends on the number of megabytes of the desired traffic. Tip: if you are traveling as a family, then take, for example, 20 GB of traffic for one phone for $ 30 and use a mobile hotspot to distribute the Internet to other family members, because for $ 15 you can buy only about 2.5 GB.
Beach: This hotel was chosen because of the huge beach and sea view rooms. Huge wide beach with a length of about 1 km. Places for every taste. Additional fences near the umbrellas made it possible to protect themselves from strong winds. They could be moved if desired.
Not very long stationary pier with a good descent to the sea! I would especially like to mention the lifeguard who works on the pier. His name is Mohammed. Knows Russian well. And other languages too. You can always ask for advice on any issue. Very smart, educated and positive person.
Animation Entertainment animators are great guys, always tried! But here is a question for the guests of the hotel, who were not always active, especially at evening shows. I would especially like to note Midoo, who could always persuade him to engage in activities, it was difficult to refuse him: humor, good physical shape, love for what you do, openness to people, mastery of different styles of dance and fitness! I liked the lessons with Nastya! Now about the negative moment that happened during the rest. I lost my cell phone on the beach. Was accidentally left on the lounger for literally 15 minutes. Who could take it (soft word) is hard to say.
A lot of people passed by this sunbed that day: hotel employees who sell excursions and massages, hotel guests, members of the diving club, people from other hotels who can freely enter the hotel from the beach side. There are no video cameras on the beach. Therefore, do not lose vigilance about the safety of your belongings on the beach. Thanks to the hotel administration for their attention to finding a phone, and especially to Natalia Plominska.
In addition to the hotel, we managed to visit the Old Town, the famous tourist place of Naama Bay, Soho Square - a must-visit!! ! Taxis are cheaper to take outside the hotel after 2 barriers. You just need to bargain. You can also walk to the highway (about 15-20 minutes), and then take a minibus and save money on travel. Souvenirs in Egypt of course for every taste!
What I liked: natural mango, guava and pomegranate marshmallow (price $ 2), produced by different manufacturers and therefore the taste may differ, of course, a variety of tea and black cumin oil (how could it be without it! ). Whether I will return to this hotel is hard to say, because the number of hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh is approaching 300 and there are plenty to choose from, but I will definitely return to Egypt! Thank you for reading the review to the end!
