Since we are on vacation with a child, we decided to follow the Foreign Ministry's warning that only Sharm and Hurghada are recommended to visit.
In Sharm everything is as always. Very calm. Sun-sea : )
Rested 13 nights in the Resort me, my husband and our 4-year-old child.
The hotel was before this 4 years ago, when the reception and the dining room of the resort were under renovation and we ate in the Main and used the entire territory of the Sheraton without restrictions.

This time the tour was bought by AI, the number "standard". Settled without money, said that the second time and asked to settle us in the Dolphin on the 2nd floor. We were put in the same room as last time: ) Room overlooking the pool and the sea. The room is spacious, bright, cleaned well with and without a dollar. Swans were not spun, but towels were changed, water was set at the rate of 0.5 liters per person, shampoos, gels, body lotions were replenished every day. There are 2 signs on the nightstand by the bed ("thank you for your concern" and "please change towels and bedding"), as many times as needed, the bed was changed to a clean, snow-white one.
Territory - a huge, well-groomed, green, blooming. Pools 11 or more. Grotto, cascading pools with waterfalls, bars. There are places to walk. Tired - taf-tuffs go every couple of minutes. There are 3 of them in the hotel. The drivers are cheerful, sociable.
Beach. The coastline is big. There is a pontoon, and you can swim aground (where waist-deep). It’s good for children - there is an entry into the water, where at first it’s shallow, knee-deep for an adult, then a little deeper. There is where to run, you can build castles on the sand. There are a lot of sunbeds, there were always places, it was not necessary to occupy.
Resort restaurant. . . I wanted to cry. . . Fruits - chopped dates and oranges + melon with apples, cut into small pieces in sweet syrup. . . : ( There is no grill. - cabbage, lettuce leaves, or a cucumber, or a tomato, sometimes there is a pepper. Plbs ready-made salads. There is no variety in food. Sadness... If you don’t come to the beginning, you can find empty trays, there is almost no sweet left and they don’t renew it. meeting with the guide, they complained that both we and the child were hungry. The guide cheerfully said - "why did you go to 4 *, and not to 5 *? The resort is 4 *, even if many operators sell it as 5 *, but the food there for 4 *! If it's really bad - write your claims on paper and let me deal with the hotel managers. Or we can transport you to a completely different hotel in Sharma. "
For 2 days we somehow ate, then we could not stand it and went to the administration to ask us to be fed in the Main restaurant. We were offered to pay extra and move to Main completely. We refused, because we prefer to live in small houses and bungalows. In the course of long negotiations, we resolved the issue this way - we live in a resort, but we eat in the lane.

The food in the lane is much more varied, the staff is more polite, it is possible to eat outdoors, where they cook on the grill. Drinks in clean glasses, all with a smile. There are many vegetables - tomato, radish, cucumbers, many types of salad greens - lettuce, arugula, etc. Many delicious prepared salads with olive oil - Greek with cherry tomatoes. Themed dinner almost every night - Italian tastiest. A lot of cheese, a lot of fruit (melon slices, plus melon in syrup, dates, oranges, tangerines, baby bananas are very sweet, they gave strawberries a couple of times. ) We bought strawberries in the old city for 5 pounds, so we didn’t worry too much. For breakfast, delicious yoghurts of 4 types. Unlike the canteen of the resort, the Maina restaurant prepares scrambled eggs in the morning, pasta and pasta in the afternoon. In the resort, the pasta is ready and there is no grated parmesan.
Juices are everywhere "yupi" - mango, orange, apple, etc. Lipton tea black, green. Nescafe coffee packaged + something brewed in teapots, but I think that the same Nescafe.
Animation visited only children's, and then walked around the territory. The mini disco is great. Thanks to the animator Lilya from Kyiv that she did not spend under "Aram-zam-zam", etc. She brought new children's songs and new dances - the children were delighted and it was impossible to pick up after the end of the mini-disco. Only the Engine at the end was one of those standard songs rolled up to holes : )
We did not go to the mini-club, as we tried to spend the whole day outdoors. Near the mini club on the beach there is a playground. Another site in the area.
The bars make delicious milk, alcoholic striped and non-alcoholic colorful cocktails.
Towels can be taken on cards near any pool and near the sea. Write down the room number. Towels can be handed over only where they were taken. Sometimes they scare us if we hand over before lunch that they won’t give it back, but then they give it without any problems.
A smile does a lot. Smile, try to say a few words in Arabic - thank you, etc. and they will do everything for you with a smile too.
I liked the hotel very much, I didn't want to leave.
I wish you a good holiday too!
