We arrived at the hotel with friends from Kyiv (16 people). Therefore, it was always fun. A lot of elderly Italians and locals First, POSITIFF ----- Settled quickly, did not have to wait until 15-00. The hotel is built so that the main entrance to it is on the 7th floor, and on the first exit directly to the beach, by elevator, without tedious stairs and descents. There is a pontoon and two entries directly into the sea from the shore!! ! A coral reef of extraordinary beauty with a wide variety of fish. Very beautiful, even better than in the reserve, where we went on a yacht. There is a moray eel more than 1.2 m long (I personally saw it - I ran nose to nose (the air smells of courage)))), and it appears in the afternoon and in shallow water at a distant entry into the sea, along with a large tuna. I got a room on the 1st floor - large, with constantly working air conditioning, clean and bright, 30 seconds walk to the beach. Spacious swimming pool with bar not far away. Sun loungers could be found even at 11 o'clock (but not always). Having taken them in the morning, you can miss them - Italians often steal them (mostly grandmothers). The food is monotonous, but well cooked. The most comfortable rooms are on the 1st floor. Pretty good animation and a disco. There is a shopping gallery, prices are higher, but you can bargain.
NEGATIFFF. For the entire huge beach - one shower stand by the pool. Old towels, deck chairs and mattresses on the beach and furniture in the room Drinks in all bars only in plastic. The greed of bartenders has no limits. All alcohol is diluted. The situation is changed by a certain tip amount (and $ 1 is not enough). Tips do not affect cleaning in the room (gave $ 1 - towels were not reported, stopped giving - a complete set) Food - eggs, cucumbers, soy cheese, soy sausage and sausages, vegetables in the morning. lunch - soups (delicious) 1-2 types of meat dishes as many fish and vegetables, alcohol in glass, dinner - 1 type of grilled meat and fish (issued by chefs in scanty portions) a lot of salads, alcohol is served by waiters (the more tips, the more alcohol, but tips do not affect the speed of their (waiters) movement))). Sweets are always enough. You can drink yuppie juices, but you will get poisoned))) The minibar is full of abundance, but the prices are bad - 0.5 of water for $ 3.0. 33 beer - 6. Free only 2 bottles of 0.6 each. We went to Cairo by minibus with a guide and two drivers. at 4 in the morning one fell asleep and flew into the oncoming one, lucky - there were no oncoming ones, on the way back they arranged races with a taxi and the same bus 150-160 km / h. "Swept through"))) All the same, we arrived intact. Vouchers were taken at a travel agency in Naami BAY, where it is cheaper from 50 to 100%.
Sheraton is positioned as a hotel with a high level of service, which is not entirely true. We expected more. The above disadvantages are not so significant as to spoil the rest, especially if you are traveling with a cheerful company.
