Flight.
Kyiv-Sharm. Without delay. At 3.00 am. Behind us sat a family that was with their sandwiches. We think why? It turned out that they were already in the know : ) Join up feeds only a sandwich on the plane. Alone, but closed. Two slices of ham, cheese, vegetables. Back it is smaller and without meat, just a slice of cheese. I saved my smoked sausage, which was left from the rest. Juices, water, tea, coffee.
Sharm-Kyiv. There is no longer a luggage rolling service at the airport. Smart with their film and adhesive tape. Shared with the poor, for which many thanks to them. On the first and second frames, they inspect everything intently and also feel it specifically. I had champagne from Kiev Dutik in hand luggage in a sealed bag. Selected on the second frame. Everyone is asked to carry everything in a suitcase. Shampusik was later returned : )) almost everyone has woolen handbags. Delivery to the aircraft by one bus. Our stewards release seven people to the luggage, which is laid out on the asphalt near the plane. You find your bag and carry it on a cargo cart. They ask to accurately identify their suitcases, otherwise they had the same bags and unloaded the cart again. There were two bags at the end. Looking for owners. Found.
Total: the flight was delayed for an hour and a half due to the fault of the tourists. Everything to the maximum in a suitcase. But flew for 3.20.
Settlement. The seasoned ones were bred like rabbits : ))) We sent them first for breakfast. Then they took me to a room overlooking the wall of the neighboring building on the ground floor and with one family bed - for two young ladies : ) They said there were no more rooms. What stuck in the brain, it's hard to say, probably the proximity, but not the accessibility of the sea : ))) We paid for the best room, they gave it with a sea view on the second floor. Communicated with other tourists, the situation is the same. Everyone is being led to the 4th building to room 124. Therefore, everyone immediately go to Tatiana for guest services. She'll take care of everything. : )
Wifi is weak. The signal is only in both lobbies.
Rooms. Small and not killed. A set of tea and coffee for 10 euros per week on request. Tele is old. The shower is small, to put it mildly, narrow in the hips : ) I didn’t risk it without slippers. There is no shelf for accessories in it, you need to keep everything in your hands or constantly move the curtain aside and put bottles to the washbasin. It is very uncomfortable. I have never seen this in any other hotel. Discomfort. Hot water in the tap, cold in the shower. Many people in the hotel had this. We did not wait long, turned to Tatiana for a guest house. The next day, the master came in the morning, promised to replace something. Came from the beach, the water is cold. The master was called. Four people came : ) They said that everything was fixed, but it took a long time to lower the water to hot. We decided to iron the dresses. There is no iron, only rent for a fee. Called the front desk and said there was no laundry bag in the room. A specially trained person came : ) with a package and took the dress. Stroked well. 20 pounds or 2 dollars. I managed to do it. My girlfriend promised to stroke it for free for the photo, gave me two dresses. Brought them not ironed and took a picture : ) We laughed a lot with free cheese in a mousetrap : ). TV channels are only Russian from our language ones. But by joint efforts we applied several times to the guest house and promised to set up Ukrainian ones for future races.
On the first day, we decided to go to the spa for a hammam for a good tan. The sauna in the hotel was under renovation. They stubbornly tried to spoil the dry type of scrub. We refused. After 10 minutes, we were informed that we would be taken to another hotel where the sauna was open. At the agreed time, an Arab arrived in a Toyota, took us and the masseuse and took us to Siva Sharm. They also have a spa there. Grand SPA network. Fine. Hamam, sauna, jacuzzi at 42 degrees, almost cooked : ) and 15 minutes of massage added. These 15 min. were excellent, washed every muscle. Better than other hotels for a lot of money with an hour massage. Therefore, for the first time I advertise from the heart. Money well spent. It cost $30 per nose, it was an hour and a half.
Territory.
She is big and beautiful. Very green. Nice buildings in sand tones. Everything pleases the eye. For lovers of taking pictures, it’s the most : ). On the beach, they heard a conversation of a departing couple, the guy told his girlfriend that they had taken 260 photos today, that's enough : ). Those. there is where to turn around : ). Many pools, all without heating : ). This is what they thought about when the hotel was built. The beach is also large and planted with palm trees. Normal sand, laid wooden flooring for ease of walking. A pier, a towel dispenser, a toilet, a bar are connected by a flooring. When we arrived at the beach, we realized that there were not enough people in the hotel. Initially, it seemed that the animators were the largest army of vacationers : ) But they told us that 90 people were resting at the hotel at the time of our arrival. By the time we left, there weren't many people. There are a lot of sun loungers near the sea, the beach occupies a long coastal part, which allows lovers to swim along the hotel with a mask and admire the beauty of the sea. The beach is comfortable in the morning. After lunch, the sun starts to hide behind the hotel and it gets cool from about three o'clock. Another hour you can lie on the VIP-terasse, it is available to everyone now. I wish the heated pools would come in handy, but... I had to look for other activities before dinner. Probably because of this, dinner from 18.30 was quietly moved to 18.00. On the sly is a feature of the hotel. At this stage, one of the main restaurants of the Reef is closed. But with a two-day commission wandering through all the nooks and crannies of the hotel, the Sheikh restaurant was silently closed and lunch and dinner, as well as breakfast the next day, were moved to the Reef. We on the beach heard people talking about how they rushed around the territory (restaurants on opposite sides of the hotel) in search of lunch. Information about the change in the schedule of the restaurants was placed not on the one where everyone came for breakfast, that it was closed, but on the door of a closed restaurant, to which no one approached. Pretty intricately thought out. It is likely that the commission will visit the restaurant without tourists, as long as there is food : ).
Sea. Expanse to swim. Most of the sea is fenced with buoys, no one interferes with each other. Two wooden piers. One on the relax beach, which is now closed for sunbathing, but you can swim to the pier and go ashore along it. The reef is sad, especially if you are not in Egypt for the first time. Living areas come across. We arrived after 4 days of cold bad weather, so the reef left a depressing feeling. There were almost no fish. After a couple of days it got warmer and, oh, what a joy, the fish came out of the bowels of the sea : ). The diversity is not very large, but the population density is excellent. It became more fun. Napoleon was : ). We were told that this is the case everywhere in this area. But there are also more lively and colorful areas. Reef wall, depth, no bushes. For themselves, they concluded that the sea and the reef in the White Knight Bay evokes more iridescent emotions, not to mention Ras Um Sid. One day we went there by taxi for a couple of bucks per car. Very near. Were torn off by its beauties : ). You can go to the paid El Fanar beach or, like, free near the Faraana Reef Club hotel. Tell the taxi driver that you need Café el Farsha. There is not a festive entrance at all, but feel free to go down the stairs to the very bottom to the sea. You can also take sunbeds there - they offered us for 10 bucks, but we didn’t bother and went to the pier. We came to swim, not lie on sunbeds. We swam from the pier, went to the beach, laid towels on the rocks, rested in the sun and went swimming from the shore. Perfectly tanned during these half-days without any sunbeds: ) The sea is warm, there is no wind, the beauty....
Nutrition. Perfectly normal. There are no super-details, of course. But for money you can order steaks and lobsters. Additional dinners are available in a la carte restaurants. But for all, a normal choice in them is the same. True, for all in these restaurants you need to order any paid drink. About all inclusive. A lot of vegetables of different preparations for every meal. Grilled, raw, salads, stews, boiled. Tovrog and yoghurts for breakfast in large bowls. Eggs and scrambled eggs, sausage, sausages. Rice porridge, fruits, pastries. Lunch and dinner always included several types of meat, fish, squid. Spaghetti, shawarma each time with a different filling.
On the beach you can eat in two cafes. First Breeze, right on the beach. Works like a beach bar with lunchtime pizza and ice cream. There are no juices in the packages. The rest of the range, as elsewhere in Egypt. The second is Clif. Over the sea with great views. In the evening, as a paid fish restaurant, at lunch, on the menu for all. There are two soups to choose from, with salad - Greek, with tuna and Caesar. Only the name is different in them. The ingredients on the menu do not match those on the plate. Everywhere the usual cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes. Chicken or tuna fiber. For hot, a big burger, or chicken skewers (tasty, but three pieces), or kebab (decent). Everything is complemented by fries and a tablespoon of grilled vegetables. You need to ask for ketchup in addition, they will bring it. For dessert, a delicious apple pie or fruit salad in mint sauce. The salad is terrible. They brought me with green persimmon and apples in ordinary water. Not sweet, mint and did not smell, just water. And drinks. Everyone who ate there commented on how full and tasty it was. You can not run to the main to the other side of the hotel.
Near the pools there is a cafe with ice cream, desserts and pancakes with jam. There is a burger grill by the other pool. Didn't eat. Once they came to the beginning of dinner, there was no grill, they didn’t want burgers.
There are definitely packaged juices in the central bar, where there is karaoke.
Total. Have never been hungry. normal variety in budget time! for the country. But, with all this, there were people in the hotel (literally, a few people) who were just not enough. And it wasn't like that. I wonder. To starve, you need to try very hard. But these people were annoyed by literally everything in the hotel. We realized this later, after talking with other tourists who also talked to them. And it’s hard not to hear the indignation that was spreading all over the beach : ). But calling home from the Wi-Fi zone, they praised this hotel very dearly and said that it was a hundred times better than the previous one. Vacationers were told that there was no worse hotel in their practice : ). After close communication with them, we understood what was the matter. They were very annoyed that they had to rest in the company of Ukrainians, without Russians. We were especially strengthened in this opinion by their phrase that YOUR Ukrainian army came to OUR Mariupol. The curtain. These people, out of their anger, simply did not know how and with what to insult the hotel with a contingent that was inconvenient for them. Although they claimed that they were for Ukraine. But we explained everything to them in a popular way about ours and yours.
Near. To the left are small shops (they took juices for 1.5 dollars, nectars for 1 dollar) and then a large mall. There you can take fruits, they are traded. Further on the right side of the road Il Mercato, 1000 and 1 night. The most successful fruit prices are around 1000 and 1 night. Mango is everywhere 3 dollars, when trading below 2.5 nothing. Ghanats 1 USD (in the old market for 2, mango for 3.5 and they don’t really want to bargain). The hotel also has shops.
General impression. The first couple of days everyone compared with Sierra and thought that we would never come to this hotel again. But then they threw these nonsense out of their heads and began to just relax without any comparisons.
The result - the rest was a success : ))) And the hotel has the right to be in such a form as it is. No wonder he has his fans and regular foreign guests (they were with us, they were met and recognized by all the servants as relatives). The hotel is wonderful not for winter, but for the warm season. Then good warm pools, less wind and more-longer sun on the beach will be added to the entertainment. The bracelets were not cut off after check-out, they used everything until departure.
To everyone who vacationed with us, thank you for the company and new visits to Egypt!
