Из зимы в лето From winter to summer

Hello! I want to share my impressions about the rest. We took off from the airport at 9 am. There was quite a strong wind and light snow. And after four hours of flight, our plane landed in Sharm. Air temperature +32. It was the same throughout our stay. Water temperature +24. By the way, it is warmer than at the end of March last year. And at night it is not lower than +20. In a word - we were lucky with the weather! We were quickly brought to the hotel. There was a desire to check in as soon as possible, but at the reception they put on bracelets for us, offered to have lunch first, we just had time for the end of lunch. Knowing which building we would like to live in (thanks to the kind tourists from this site, we saw the map in advance), we invested $ 20 in the passport and a leaflet with the desired room options. No problem settled in a wonderful room 180 overlooking the pools. The room is standard, not very big, the furniture is not new, but it looks ok. Three beds, two armchairs, a table, a chair, a wardrobe, a bedside table and a bench. On the bedside table is a small kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream. Downstairs is a small refrigerator. Cleaned the room every day, brought water in 1.5l bottles. Towels were only changed when we threw them on the floor. For cleaning, we left $ 1 every day. We liked the food at the hotel. For breakfast there were scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausages, a couple of types of sausages, regular cheese, feta cheese, vegetables, cereals, toast, various cereals with milk, yogurts, curds, jams, buns, butter, sweet pastries, fruits, melon. Juices, as they say, yupi, but quite good, we drank, as well as tea and coffee. After breakfast we went to the beach. The hotel area is very large, green, well-groomed, many flowers. The beach is big enough and sandy. And although the hotel was 100% full, there were enough sunbeds for everyone. The sea is very clean and warm, a lot of fish swimming almost near the shore. You can enter the water either from the pontoon or from one of the three concrete paths. You can also swim along the shore, before the start of the corals. You can write endlessly about the beauty of the flora and fauna of the Red Sea, so I will say one thing - there is nothing to do there without a mask and snorkel! There are many animators in the hotel, half of them are Russian speakers, and the rest understand Russian. And in general, the staff perceives Russian, so it will be possible to find a common language))) The animators worked from morning to evening, enticing tourists into various exercises, aerobics, dancing, volleyball, football, beach games, so it was not boring. Photographers offering professional photos, a girl from a beauty salon and sellers of excursions walk along the beaches. After swimming in the sea, we went for lunch. And those who did not want to dine in the main restaurant could well get enough food in the bars - various meats, vegetables, french fries, fried squids, fruits, ice cream was given from 15.00. From drinks Pepsi, Mirinda, Sprite, beer and cocktails. In the main restaurant, lunch, of course, is more varied - soups, several types of beef, side dishes, stewed vegetables, many sweets, fruits. After dinner we usually went to the pools. There are four of them in the hotel. Two heated, two without. But thanks to the warm sun, we felt comfortable in all four. One pool with a slide and entertainment for children. The sun was setting at about 6:30 pm. Dinner began at 7:00 pm. Dinner is more pleasant in an open area, only mosquitoes do not give rest. At night, in the room, we escaped from them with the help of a fumigator, which we brought with us. In addition to the main restaurant, there are two more - Italian - a la carte and fish - paid. For dinner, again, a lot of variety of food. From alcohol, we once ordered wine, barely drank a glass, not tasty, we did not like it. Evenings were never boring either. At 21.30 every evening there were different performances in the amphitheater. The schedule of performances for two weeks, as you are unlikely to see the same thing twice. We saw national dances, comedy shows, Mr. Hotel, fire shows, etc. A normal disco at the hotel is only on Saturday, entrance is $ 15 and drinks are included all night, and not only until 24.00. On weekdays, animators took to various discos in Old Town for $30-40 per person from 23.30 to 3.00. The hotel also has a mini golf course. The staff is quite pleasant, not intrusive. In the hotel you can buy souvenirs, several small shops, there are not at all annoying sellers, and this pleases. At the reception there are ATMs that change dollars into pounds. We left the hotel at 10.00, no one cut off our bracelets. The return flight was delayed by two hours due to airport congestion. And we returned back to our snowy spring. And the impressions were the warmest and most pleasant, so we recommend this hotel to everyone. Relax with pleasure
