Exactly a year has passed since our last visit to St. George and we again decided to opt for this hotel…

This time we took a ticket, for 10 days, from the tour operator TUI, flew on the Airbus A321 from WindRose.

There are no questions to the tour operator, to the carrier, in principle, too, except that they used to offer coffee, tea during the flight, and now only water.
I will try to write briefly about the hotel, assessing only the positive and negative changes that have occurred over the year ...

My review of the last stay at the hotel - https://www.turpravda.ua/eg/sharm_el_sheyh/Xperience_St__George_Homestay-h19190-r385767.html

This time we arrived in the morning, settled quickly, the room was given, as we asked, on the 1st floor with access to the main pool. The room is the same as the one we stayed last year. By the way, the room in which we lived last year is being renovated, the hotel is being gradually renovated.

In the received room there was a problem with the towel holder, they took a photo, went to the reception and within half an hour this problem was solved by the hotel employee.

Positive changes in the room:

1. There was a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar.

2. Water in 1.5 l bottles is supplied every day in sufficient quantities.

3. A compliment from the hotel, for the second visit, a fruit plate.

What has not changed, because this is the number of Ukrainian (2) and Russian-language channels (4) on TV, most of all Arabic - about 15 pcs.

Room cleaning is good.

Meals at the hotel and the work of bars has not changed. The food on the beach is still worse than at the hotel.

The beach was only sandy. No changes - dirty on the beach and in the toilets. It can be seen that they are cleaning, but not enough. There are enough sun loungers, although the number of vacationers has increased significantly compared to last year.

The sea, to the right of the hotel's beach, is simply excellent, but this is not the merit of the hotel.
Transfer to the beach… this is a big problem in the hotel this year. You need to sign up for the transfer one day in advance from 7.00! After 10.00 there are no more places the next day! ! ! And if you leave the hotel for the beach, according to the LIST, somehow it turns out, then returning at the chosen time, from the beach, is much more difficult, because for some reason there are much more people and no one controls this flow. A minibus, even with an additional one, is not enough to take everyone to the beach and pick them up.

To Naama and the Old Market in the evenings - there is enough transfer.

What to do, those who did not go to the beach? Take a taxi or stay at the hotel by the pools and bars ...But even here the hotel administration distinguished itself by not turning on the water heating in the pools in DECEMBER. At the request of the Administration to turn on the water heating, they promised that they would turn it on after December 15! ! ! Last year there was heating, but this year the concept has changed. In other hotels, swimming pools are heated already in November.

Well, the animation, which last year pleased with only 3 people, this year is a complete fiasco. There were 5-6 animators, some of them changed every two or three days.

In the evenings, a standard children's program and evening shows, in a half-empty hall.

On the beach for a week, there was nothing but volleyball. Only the last 2 days yoga, water aerobics began to be held ...

Near the pool, there were also no animators, except for a disc jockey, and until the animator Svetlana from Belarus appeared, it became more fun with her.

I also noticed how the animators take the smartphones of vacationers and write reviews about themselves and the hotel themselves.

After the last visit to the hotel, we had a desire to return here again, after a holiday this year, such a desire, alas, does not arise.
