Если не привередлив, то нормальный отель If not fussy, then a normal hotel

Here are our impressions of the Kyiv-Sharm trip from 16.03-26.03 2021 to Tivoli Aquapark 3/4 * for $ 1000 for three (not last minute).
! ! If a! ! You are not fussy, the hotel is normal, good staff, the kitchen is a light breakfast and a light lunch (I will write later), 2 deep pools and a hot jacuzzi. But there is a problem with cleaning and I will also write below.
The weather was good, even hotter than we went last year 12.03-17.03.
THE AIRPORT
AzurAir airline and AnexTour tour operator.
Passability became faster when we arrived at the beginning of the airport and asked to submit a health declaration, which is given on the plane along with the migration card (the tour operator gave us and we filled it out at home, and the migration was given and filled out on the plane). After the declaration, they checked the covid test with passports.

After we go to the windows where they put a seal and we give a migration card with a tourist voucher and passports, they tell us the bus number (if you want to go with a personal transfer, you need to warn the bus) and also do not forget about the second passport control where they take photos and put the second stamp and you give the migration card a stamp.

SIM card at the airport (available in Il Mercato)
I bought Etisalat for 17 GB for $10.
When I bought a SIM card at the airport, I could not pay with a card, the terminal did not work.
The SIM card works for a month, for $ 10 you buy 8 GB of Internet + 8 as a gift (with the next replenishment, only 8 GB). Good speed, but connection drops a little in thick walls : D.

HOTEL
We chose a hotel in the Hadaba area, Tivoli Aquapark 3/4 * for $ 1000 for three 10-12 nights, but with very bad departures, after quarantine the food menu worsened and the hotel became more like a sanatorium (compared to Ghazala Beach 4 *).
On the territory of the hotel there is a small grocery and accessory type of water, chips, mosquito raptors, hookahs, etc. , a spa, a pharmacy, tobacco oils. But everything works in the evening (I don’t know about the spa).
WATER IS PAYABLE! 7 liters 15 pounds (only in the evening you can buy, and before that, dial in the dining room), across the road in the supermarket 7 liters - 15 pounds and 10 liters - 20 pounds (not near the pharmacy, but near the cafe).
Money is only changed at the bar at the rate of 13 pounds to the dollar, so it's more profitable to go to the bank in the old town and change at 16.6 pounds.
In the rooms, cleaning is paid, in order to sweep and do wet cleaning you need to pay, in order to clean you need to ask, go to the reception and ask to change sheets and towels for free, but they need to be thrown on the floor.
Little things:
Shower in the ceiling in any room of the central building, drinking water is also paid, there is no ice cream, so we ran across the road to the supermarket for 15 pounds (in the supermarket on our side they always gave change in pounds, so it was inconvenient).
In the jacuzzi, they will bring you a cocktail for $ 1. Only our animators speak Russian (these are 2 girls), the guide and at the reception.

If you are unlucky, then Egyptians and Arabs roam for a very long time in the evening, but they also leave as quickly as they arrive.

! ! ATTENTION! ! If you get a late flight, it’s better to take food with you or look for a restaurant to order food, especially if someone in the family is diabetic, because after such a dinner and a meager breakfast, the diabetic father on the beach became ill and heartburn began, went to the top and took taxi, then a day they ran for him to get water in a restaurant to dial and to a pharmacy across the road for gaviscon.
(OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE) As for diabetes, my father is on pills, but in Egypt he can eat everything he sees from sweets and food and feels great.

ANIMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT
From entertainment places Il Mercato and the old market, near the mango market, everything is within walking distance (15-25 minutes at a calm pace), but be careful the way to the old city is a taxi downhill from the old city from 20 pounds - 2 dollars.
During the day, music by the central pool in the evening every day, disco performances for kids and adults, fair shows, oriental dances, dances with skirts come for a short time. We arrived at the hotel at 11 pm and were late for dinner, at the reception they begged for a $ 10 tip for dinner in the room. Dinner included tortillas, something like curd cheese, tomato, cucumber, local pickles and cheese with sausage.
Also, on some days there is a disco, on the beach or in the Naama Bay club, animators take teenagers from 17 years old on their own responsibility and adults for $ 5. They invite you to such events and write down the room number so they can take you on the bus.
Departure from 22 (and earlier if desired) and return by taxi or wait until 2 am, they take to the hotel. First drink free

BEACH
Palm beach, free 3 km from the hotel, transfer (small) at 9:30, returns 1 time for those who didn’t get in, picks up at 13:30, but not many people including us could stand in such a sun, so we went up to the road and took a taxi from $ 1-2, also after dinner at 14:30 return at 16:30 in my opinion.

When sailing from a pier (a fixed pontoon), be careful on the slippery and slightly water-damaged stairs. On the pontoon, if you have time, they can give you a mask for swimming all over your face or with a snorkel, everything is thoroughly washed with soap or disinfectant, but the reef is dead and there are chains floating on which you can catch your foot by negligence. You can see octopus, wavy shells and big fish and small flocks right under your belly.
The sea can be said to be open, so it often storms, but you feel like on a roller coaster, although your foot can fall into some kind of gorge and clog your fingers.
The beach itself is sand and pebbles (a lot of shells with stones that children pull out from the sea, so you need to walk carefully) entering the sea on granite slabs and further turned stones with water, there are hopes for a small yellow coral miracle and small fish.
Beach towels are simply issued by the pool in the ice cream stand (they don't have it, don't ask : D ), write down the room number and the number of towels.

BARS
1 free at the central pool and paid at the entrance to the hotel. You can take a bottle in a bar from $5-10 Depending on which bartender : ) ( Magdi's is cheaper : D ).

RESTAURANTS 2, but 1 under renovation.
From food rice, potatoes sometimes pasta, a lot of vegetables both raw and cooked, stewed beef, sausages, fish (catfish in my opinion) and chicken on certain days (on one day they made a grill right at the entrance to the restaurant).
Breakfast
Mashed potatoes, vegetables, eggs and pancakes with honey. Drinks for Egyptians Turkish coffee for our instant and tea.

Dinner
Sweets appear, depending on the day, meat and different types of potatoes (spicy stew, baked jacket, or boiled), you can take sweet drinks.

Dinner
Everything is the same as during the day, but the food is more satisfying and seems more appetizing with a glass of free beer, everything is in the same place as sweet drinks. And also the grill can appear only for dinner, and the leftovers of the grill are given away the next day at lunch.

DRY LUCK for the morning flight: tortillas, sausage cheese and honey with strawberry jam in one-time portions.

And for the record, lost glasses, inflatable circles, etc. can be taken from the boy who gives out towels.
With such a cost, you can take the Amar Sina hotel cheaper, since, in my opinion, it has the same beach and is located further down the street.
