Again SIVA SHARM 5*

We were in this hotel in the same composition in February 2015 and if we didn’t like it, we wouldn’t go a second time, but from 11/6/2015 to 11/20/2015 we are again in SIVE.
The tour operator, like last time, "BIBLIO GLOBUS" Departure this time from Moscow, and not from Minsk, strictly according to the schedule of "Orenb. lines", who wanted to shorten our vacation by 6 (SIX) days !!! ! And more on that later.

In "Sharma" they quickly filled out the "leaflets", passed passport control. An almost full bus was taken to this hotel, they did not stop anywhere. In the hotel after 10-00 everyone was "ringed". We asked for 2 rooms next to each other, and we got them No. 1761 and 1765 (7th floor of the main building, left wing) with a beautiful view of the courtyard and a small pool. The next day, as always, a meeting with the hotel guide (guides), familiarization with the procedures, etc. , excursions were not imposed, which pleased. At the same time, we learned about the "innovations" on luggage and hand luggage introduced by the Russian Federation. The rooms are spacious, clean, everything worked and did not break, the cleaning is EXCELLENT - everything shone.
The territory is well-groomed, the beach is multi-tiered, pontoons 2.
Animation is excellent in Russian. In general, the “population” is 70-75% of the “Slav brothers” from the CIS, Poles, Czechs, Germans, and British. After November 11, the hotel began to revive a little - Ukrainians began to arrive.
THE HOTEL WAS NO MORE THAN 30% OCCUPANATED!!
Even the question of moving all the guests to another hotel was discussed.
The food is excellent, but the savings were felt - a little less fruit and all cut, the assortment of pastries decreased, one bar on the beach did not work, but it did not bother. Since there are few people, the service is excellent. On the beach, workers served drinks, helped with choosing a place, etc. I would especially like to mention the beach worker AHMED, the bartender ISLAM (beach) MOHAMED (pool).
Drinks, as always in Egypt, are standard, juices "UPI" in the restaurant and PACKAGED in bars Wines from large tetra-packs.
Bars. An excellent PATIO bar with live music in the evenings, but this time more often karaoke and animation shows. The waiters behind the counters work GREAT and still have time to run and bring drinks to the tables. Again, it is worth noting the work of MAHMUD, thanks to his efforts, the drinks at our table did not run out. In general, the staff are ALL very friendly and welcoming. Tipping is not begged for, but earned - do not be stingy.
There were 2 bars on the beach and another one near the pool and there were no queues. "Snacks" for every taste in all bars. Well, if not satisfied, then to the main restaurant, where the choice is much wider.
Sea. t=26-29C If you swim to the left of the hotel, the corals and living creatures are more diverse and there are many LIVE corals. We got lucky with the weather

The shops. As elsewhere in Egypt, the hotel prices for EVERYTHING are higher than in the "periphery", but we recommend buying tea and oils from SHADI - hello to him. Nearby (less than 10 minutes walk) shopping and entertainment center "SOHO" - we recommend, you can buy everything. There you can, or rather you need to bargain, even in stores with price tags.
Well, now about the SAD.
In connection with the termination of flights to Egypt, Russian aircraft were promised to take everyone out within the time specified in the vouchers (vouchers), on the evening of November 12 they were told that we should
Fly to Moscow on November 14th. And not on November 20 !!!!??????? . THOSE. they wanted to shorten our vacation by 6 (SIX) days, arguing that the carrier (Orenb line) had the last flight on November 14th. But there are other carriers, and neither BIBLIO GLOBUS nor the CARRIER wanted to deal with transferring money, docking, etc. A MUST!!! ! Moreover, THEY UNILATEDLY without agreement with us (? ) CANCELLED our vouchers, and we are citizens of the REPUBLIC OF BELARUS. In an emergency, we ourselves had to contact Minsk and arrange a flight for November 22 to MINSK (BELAVIA), paying the hotel for 2 days and for the BELAVIA flight. In this case, the tour operator acted as a STATISTA of average scall, and not a tour operator, which should primarily protect the rights and interests of tourists.
