This review only applies to circumstances and situations during your stay at the hotel and in the country. Tourists with my husband, we are experienced in Sharm El Sheikh. Exchange rate 1$ = 7.00 Egyptian pounds (as of 03/29/13)
1/ Voucher for 2 11 days / 10 nights departure Kyiv, cost $ 1600 for the period from 17.03. 13-27.03. 13. Tour operator Coral Travel. Unfortunately in Ukraine this hotel is sold only with meals AL.
2 / Flight, transfer, guide - went great. We did not buy a visa, if you do not leave the island of Sinai, a visa is not required, with $ 30 saved. Hotel guide Mukhamed got a disgusting type of course. Throughout our stay, we never saw each other.

3/ The hotel is clean, chic infrastructure, two huge pools, always warm, there are bars near them where you can drink and eat. Water slides, for kids what you need, a children's pool is also good. The hotel was filled to capacity. The room is cleaned at will, there are two buttons on the wall, one "Do not disturb", the second "Remove", which one you press and you will receive. To change the towels you need to throw them on the floor. The room has shampoo, soap, shower gel, toilet paper, towels, TV, safe, mirror, hair dryer, washbasin, shower.
4/ Animation is good, by the pool, water aerobics, gymnastics, water volleyball. There are football and volleyball courts. In the evening, animation for children, a summer cinema, belly dancing, etc. , each time there was something new.
5/ Nutrition. For "beginners" it will be decent, for "experienced" there is nothing. Standard set as in my other reviews on Sharm. We didn't have breakfast, sometimes we had lunch, we had 2 dinners. We ate either at the Carrefour supermarket (in the city), or McDonald's, or our favorite restaurant Kan Zaman, chic seafood, I recommend it.
6/ The beach is on the first line of our Sonesta chain. We came at 7-00 in the morning, because after 9-00 in the morning there was no free place, it appeared only after 14-00 when everyone went to the pools. The beach, as elsewhere in Naama Bay, the entrance is sand, after corals, gorgeous coral reefs, virgin, untouched, are on the left side of our Sonesta beach.
7/ Internet in the hotel is paid, and for some reason for many Russian-speaking tourists it was news, they wanted free, menacingly knocking on the reception. We bought 3-G Internet for $30 and put 2 GB into an iPhone (we used it as a modem), and we used the iPad. No problem, you lie on the beach and want Skype, you want Odnoklassniki, at your discretion. Where and how to buy write in a personal, I will answer.
8 / We were saddened by several factors, the first is that they have a war and in the city of Naama Bay it is felt, the Arabs have become more arrogant, more obsessive, swearing, do not hesitate to offer drugs, reminded Hurghada for a minute, God forbid.

The hotel guide suggests that the Tour Operator sign a piece of paper stating that the Tour Operator is not responsible for you on many points (purchases, fraud, trips, taxis, meals and other things outside the hotel. ) It was like Pegasus, Tes Tour, Tessa Tour and Coral Travel, I guess, etc. At the Airport, we were offered to fill out a confidential questionnaire for "Social Observations", the main point for filling in which is the cost of a ticket from the Tour Operator, and how exactly the Tour Operator sold you. I did not fill out these items, because I considered that this was my personal matter, to which the guy who gave the questionnaire tearfully asked me to fill out this item. I refused and he threw out the questionnaire as unnecessary. I think it became clear to everyone why these questionnaires.
9/ Who will not travel outside of Sharm, I recommend - SOHO District (singing fountains, shopping centers), Old Town (fruits, souvenirs), Naama Bay (fish restaurants, ice cream, hookah, souvenir shopping, supermarket). The rest is up to you .
What else do you need for a wonderful holiday, good mood, fins, mask, and sun protection cream before and after sunbathing. Happy Red Sea.
