We arrived a couple of days ago, having read rave reviews, chose this hotel. There were 13 days, so we studied their "kitchen" in sufficient detail))
So:
Hotel. A compact hotel, going by buildings, like stairs, from the road to the sea. Clean and well-groomed territory, between the buildings there are pools or gardens with palm trees. Buildings from the reception to the sea - from the 10th to the 18th line, respectively. There is no 13th line)) 3-storey buildings 1000 - 1st floor, 1010 -2nd, 1020 - 3rd. The main restaurant in the reception building, there is also a lobby bar, in the same place nearby, evening animation takes place on the street. There is a second restaurant on the pool near the beach, a pool near the beach with a bar, on the beach there is a wooden stationary pontoon (comfortable), a shower, a bar, a diving center, a place where daily gymnastics / yoga, darts, bocha, paid evening shows take place. There is a spa center on the 14th line. A bus runs from the reception to the beach, stops wherever you say. Between lines 10 and 11 there is a swimming pool with a slide and a bar. There is also a paid (always) restaurant.
Rooms. Clean, not killed, a large balcony, plasma, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian channels, air conditioning with temperature control, a large mirror, comfortable large beds, a wardrobe with hangers, a hairdryer, even scales. In the bathroom, everything is standard. . . only very strange entrance doors of two wings, without a lock. They called them "sideboard" : ) Cleaning daily, very good. If you want to change towels - throw them on the floor, if you want to change the bed - there is a special print-out card under the TV, put it on the bed. The rooms are all the same, so there is no point in paying extra for a "good" number.
Beach. Well, very small, everyone sits on each other's heads to be on the 1st line, people take their places at 5 in the morning. There are higher places, but it will be hot there. The beds are of medium freshness, but, in principle, comfortable. The bar opens at 10.30 (as elsewhere in the hotel). I would like to mention a very pleasant bartender Beshay (we called him Celentano). The guys also try that the beer is often foamy, because they quickly pour it, because there is a crowd of thirsty)) I just returned this glass and he calmly topped up the beer for me, the main thing is to do everything with a smile)) At night you can freely go to beach, no one will chase you - we met the dawn more than once over the island of Tiran, it’s very beautiful) There were problems with issuing towels for the beach / pool in the morning - the people were nervous, and the staff was rude. Not good. . .
Animation. Well, it is not extremely intrusive... it is simply NOT. All that we observed was gymnastics or yoga at 12.00 in the very heat under the scorching sun. To find out the program for the evening or any other information, it was necessary to join the ranks of super scouts and pretty much run after the animators. Fortunately, in the last couple of days the animation team has changed and life in the "nursing home" has begun to boil. Thanks Kirill! : ) In the evening, a children's disco, then some show: Mr. or Miss hotel, belly dance or live music. at 23.00 the hotel dies out. The youth amuse themselves. They take them to paid discos, but the people from there returned dissatisfied - they promise one thing, in fact, quite another (they take an hour one way instead of 15 minutes, a bunch of Arabs, music Hands up, no one accompanies guests until the end of the disco, they leave it further as you like) . They promised to fix it.
On Thursdays for 5 yr fire show and disco on the beach (weird all inclusive, isn't it? ). The first time they paid and went because of the disco, the show was in the dark for about 30 minutes, completely mediocre, they didn’t always go to such places for free, and then they turned on the lambada and everyone just scattered around the rooms. We didn’t go to an outdoor disco, we took a column and went to the beach with our own disco : ) And people who couldn’t sleep were always pulling themselves up) It was fun)
Nutrition. Main restaurant 12.30-14.30. Sadness. It's hot, noisy, crowds and queues. There is no terrace on the street. To be honest, we don’t spread red caviar on black at home, and we’ve been to different hotels in Sharma, but I haven’t seen such a meager choice for a long time... Breakfast is ok, standard, like everywhere else. Even sometimes blue cheese is given. Dinner and supper. Forget about fish and seafood in general - they are not. Instead of all this, fried fish heads, rice, pasta, potatoes, one kind of beef and chicken, sometimes very spicy. And so all the time. Somehow, for dinner, they pompously fried sausages with vegetables, half-eaten from breakfast... Tin.
Vegetables - grated turnip, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, something spicy. And breakfast sausage. For assortment. There is no green at all. Fruits: green oak dates, wood agaves and pears. Not suitable for desserts. On the 7th day, I could not stand it anymore and went to talk with their chef in the kitchen. My name is Mukhtar, he listened very carefully to my wishes and offered us to cook fish for dinner individually. And I cooked - and survived)) Thank you very much! The guys waiters quickly clean up, bring drinks, fly like bees - well done.
Coffee machine only at breakfast in the restaurant, at lunch and dinner only at the lobby. . .
The advantage of the restaurant is that you can take out food - they give special plastic plates. I see this for the first time. Offset.
Restaurant by the pool near the beach 12.30-16.00. For lovers of hamburgers, fries, pizza - not bad. Everything on the menu, order - will bring quickly. The quantity is not limited, at least order 10 pieces in total. A face can be made dissatisfied, but these are their problems)) Tasty enough, but not healthy)
Bars. On the beach and pools 10.30-17.00, lobby until 10.30-24.00. Then for money.
Depending on the mood, they can give two drinks per hand, sometimes they are mischievous and give one at a time. Local beer, whiskey, tequila, vodka, wine. Egyptian quality)) I want to note the cool waiter Sasha in the lobby, very friendly and smart) He even wanted to give a buck more than once))
Reef. The reef here is not bad. For the first time it will be wow : ) From the pontoon I swam to the left, it is also interesting there.
WiFi. There is no free service at the hotel. Paid for a week 10 ye. No. It is better to buy a card of any Egyptian operator for the Internet right at the airport, we bought Etisalat (or whatever it is) for 10 ye. 18 GB. Used for two weeks, still left.
Reception. Separate story.
Check-in 14.00. Check-out 12.00.
Settlement. Arrived earlier - they will tell you that for 20-40 ye they will give you super rooms, but in reality you will only pay for early check-in (everything is in the Egyptian style - not "divorced", the day was wasted). The rooms are all the same. Only the 18th line with a sea view - here you also pay for the view, but there are smells from the restaurant. 10th line for an amateur - until 23.00 you will watch the evening show from the balcony. So it's up to you - if you don't want to wait, you can pay extra. As a standard, they begin to "scare" that if you don't pay, then we'll put you on the 10th line. As a result, they settled on the 15th (in the center, a chic garden, close to the sea and the lobby)
They will feed you at 10.30 late breakfast, buns with coffee. They will not let you in for the main breakfast, even if you arrive at 8.00.
Eviction. Here it’s generally fun: without batting an eye, a friend in glasses told us the amount of 250 Egyptian money, they say we ordered a hookah, to the question: what other hookah ??? ? Where is the check?? ? He pretended to have the wrong number. We had a late flight and we specifically asked people if they cut off their bracelets at 12.00, everyone answered that they didn’t. In the morning they came up and wanted to extend the room until 18.00 for a surcharge, we were told that it was not possible. Well, OK. Handing over the keys at 12.00, we turned around and went to the beach, but it was not there. He chased us around the hotel with scissors and demanded to cut off the bracelet, otherwise he would bill us 35 ye (for some reason this amount).
We went for lunch to a restaurant near the beach, ate quietly, washed ourselves in the spa and came an hour before the bus to the airport to the lobby bar. In a strange way, my suitcase disappeared from the general heap. When asked where the suitcase was, they pretended for a long time that they did not understand me. When I said that I would call the tourist police, the suitcase was immediately found. Before the bus, they sat on the lobby and brought us drinks, although he ran there and demanded that we not be served. In general, I spoiled my nerves, but most likely to myself) If you have a late flight, then you have paid for the full day, the only thing is that you must vacate the room before 12.00, everything else remains in effect.
In general, we had a great rest, the hotel is good, only some people spoil it... well, the menu should be added)
Forewarned is forearmed)
Thanks for reading my long post. There will be questions - contact)
