Help me choose a hotel!
Help with choosing a hotel, they offer Sunrise Select Diamond Beach 5 or Continental Plaza Beach 5 "! We have 2 children 8 and 13. Before that we were in Concord Front and Grand Hotel Sharm. I would like it to be no worse. I would be very grateful for any advice, I can't decide, I'm afraid to miscalculate.

Was there and there. If I had to choose between the two, I would probably choose Diamond Beach.
Continental Plaza - eternal queues at the restaurant, plus the Russian brother is settled in the outskirts. That is why this retreat was called the "Russian village". The sea near the Continental is better, there are a couple of water slides for children (they are not in Sunrise), there is a place where they can splash near the shore. (Not in Sunrise).
There is more greenery in the Continental, but it is also larger in area. In Sunrise, there is good feeding, tolerable rooms (in Kontik it would not hurt to repair them for a long time). If you still choose the Continental, then take at least not the Plaza but the Garden Reef. Was there too. It is better than the Plaza, but the food is equally worse than in Sunrise. Anything else that interests you, just ask.

Yes, more... there is nothing near Kontikov. Near Sunrise within walking distance of Il Mercado with boutiques and McDonald's and complex 1000 and one night, i.е. is there a place to walk outside the hotel

Thank you very much ! So I don't know what to choose! Whether children slides, or husband feeding. We take rooms with a sea view, then they will probably settle us closer to the sea. Is the food worse because of the queues or the choice is small? And yet, if I'm not mistaken Sunrise Diamond on ultra, is it noticeable in drinks? Thank you)

The slides there are primitive, this is not a water park. Turn them on according to the schedule. They didn't work for me for a few days. The restaurant in Kontik is two-story, but this does not save him. Little food! The husband is okay )))) but the children ..... I would still choose Sunrise. Moreover, at least there is European management, and Kontik was bought out by an Egyptian, where Arabs are sometimes almost 30%. Well ... in general, think.)))

I'm sorry, but my opinion is that both hotels do not pull on "their" positions, you were given almost their "full" dignity. Fly to Festival le Jardin in Hurghada, and the sea has a "smooth" entry and food is acceptable and alcohol (for her husband) is sane.

Diamond is better. You can go to the water park.
From the shore there is only to wet your feet. Do you know that in Diamond there are strong currents and waves on the sea?
Management in Diamond is Egyptian.
I would, only the sea would stop me from going to Diamond. Children definitely won’t buy it.
Continental loses and decently to your previous trips.
Fly to Festival le Jardin.
Is this a joke? A cheap hotel without the sea, on seven winds, without civilians outside the gates?

How to approach this "question". Yes, there are no “civilians”, but if it’s not the first time in Egypt and for a week, then the price-quality is acceptable, we paid 5800-00 hryvnia for two in December, and everything suited us, although all three resorts were “scrambled” for many years. And now you can’t fit into the sea, especially for children (really 16 grams), although for other years it’s nonsense.

thanks ionjff. I didn't know about the current and that's bad news for me. I don’t know anything about Diamond at all, the agency recommends Continental more, and my husband insists on Diamond. I read the reviews, looked at the pictures and I felt sad ... The rooms are really bad, But for us this is not the main thing, in Kemer in Marty Mir, in general, the tables and bedside tables were painted with blue paint, and the walls were some kind of whitewash, but I would return there with pleasure. For us, the sea is important and food for children. In the morning we already decided that we were going to Diamond, where the current came from somewhere !! I don’t understand how it is and I’m sad again !!!! Can children enter Diamond from the shore?

This is where the numbers are horror, in Diamond?? If, Continental, go Give it, then, of course, Diamond.
Does Anex fly from you? You definitely don’t need Regina. This is the Nabq region: the sea is stormy, pontoons from a kilometer, winds and a black flag on the sea, there are no civilians outside the territory.
In Diamond, one drawback is the sea. This is the bay of Ras Um Sid. There are only 3 hotels in it that are comfortable for winter: Oasis Reef, Iboretel and Fanaara.
You can swim in fins.
We were in a nearby hotel in the summer, and were not pleasantly surprised that the pontoon was shaking and the current.
Your children are adults, they will be knee-deep from the shore.
And what other options are there?

Domina, this is a city in a city. Also not an interesting option. Olla is not there, on the outskirts ...
In general, if you come to terms with the sea and hang near the pontoon, then Diamond is the best option.
And from 4 * there is nothing? 4 * is often better than many 5 *, and the prices are the same

Hmm ... Lord, why are you kidding? Current in Diamond???
ionoff were you definitely in Diamond or "heard a ringing, but I don't know where it is?" You at least see where the Reef Oasis and the Iberotel Phanara Club and the Pharaana Club are!!! where is Diamond???
I'll tell you http://s018.radikal.ru/i511/1201/7d/4839610f3061.jpg
Yes, there is a large current in the bay of Ras um el Sid, which the entire Internet writes about, but it’s just near the neighboring hotel from Phanara Club (I don’t remember its name anymore, but I remember that this is a troika with soviet service), especially at the bend of the cape and not like you "guessed" in Diamond! If it is there, then it is either minimal, and so much so that neither I nor my poorly swimming wife noticed it, believe me, there would be a current, we would have a panic! Who knows, maybe something is wrong there in winter, but in May there was no talk of any current. The only problem was the jellyfish. There were so many of them that the sea seemed to be solid "jelly". They didn't bite for a long time.

And please note that I am not a tour operator, not a travel agent, and all the hotels were not visited on a promotional tour. I am an ordinary tourist in love with Egypt. And these are only hotels in Sharm! In all of them I was from a week and above))). At Easter, if things don't get really bad in Egypt, I'll go to Stella di Mar.

Were in the summer in Continental Plaza Beach. It was cool. Just the children are about the same (10 and 12 years old). And the sea is cool and the aqua park came up. The children sat either in the sea, or on the slides, or in the pool. You could even stay with your husband in the room for two. In the summer, too, there were a lot of reviews about meager food. But there was everything: rice, potatoes, pasta and any meat: chicken, beef, as well as fish. What people lack is not clear.

dianadel I try to go to a new place every time, and I choose hotels from the bay I like. Would I return to any hotel again? Probably unlikely, although perhaps it would be possible to go to Sierra again, especially since there is now a cooler Olinklyuziv. I will try to describe briefly each hotel.
Melia Sinai is not a bad hotel in terms of territory, weak repetitive food, shabby rooms, just a wonderful reef (if you swim towards the wild beach or the Savita hotel)
Savita - not a bad hotel, little greenery, good food, just a terrible beach (pebbles) lack of places, collapsed sun loungers, old towels, disgusting beach bar, wonderful underwater world.
Concord - old, very shabby rooms, good pools, wonderful sea, normal feeding, rude staff, all the same White Knight Bay with a wonderful underwater world
Sunrise - old rooms next to the Concorde, near Soho Square, not enough food, new sun loungers and towels, there may not be places, they take from 7 in the morning, the same bay - the sea is beautiful
Sierra is a good feeder, good management, old rooms, 5 pools, one of them is an indoor spa, another one with sea water. Compact and cozy. real juices.

You can use Savoy basses. Right on the beach there is a pool for kids. The service is decent, a lot of bonuses on Soho Square (1x ice rink, 1x bowling, disco, stage bar) in general, a very soulful hotel!
Domina is a huge senseless territory, a paid disco, a large Coral restaurant in which there is nothing to eat, and two more on the sides, Moroccan and Egyptian a la carte, in the depths of Italian with delicious pizza. not everywhere you can eat, drink, swim only in your own pool, only on a certain beach. The biggest beach and the biggest pontoon, the underwater world is sparse, dead corals, good animation.
I wrote about the Plaza above, I will add a beautiful facade of the rooms, a cool bridge where beautiful photos are obtained. Lots of greenery, you can walk to the nearby garden reef.
Garden reef - former Intercontinental, beautiful facades, Moroccan-style buildings, a stream in the middle of the hotel, Panoramic elevator, beautiful bass with palm trees in the middle, weak animation, beautiful underwater world.
The Ritz Carlton is a new hotel of a well-known chain, no all-inclusive, excellent service, expensive food at the hotel, near Il Mercado, good sea.
Sunrise Diamond-described above.

Grand Sharm is very similar to the neighboring Diamond, by the way, you can easily walk between the hotels. But in the Grand Charm, I liked the territory more. A beautiful stream, lovely gazebos, a more beautiful central pool, but a very inconvenient access to the pontoon. It is at the very edge, on the left, not far from the Diamond pontoon. If you took a seat on the right, then saw through the entire beach. The food is not bad, but the assortment is worse than in Diamond. You can climb on the roof of the hotel, there are picturesque views. Near Il Mercado, 1000 and one night.
If you need more detailed information about any hotel, write to me.
But really where I returned the second time, it was the Iberotel Makadi Saraya, which is located in Makadi Bay (30 km from Hurghada) ... This hotel is simply beyond words! The rooms are one suite, just wonderful staff, service and service. Animation at the most professional level, water park, beautiful area with gardeners-artists. Great beach and sea with lots of fish and coral reef. Saraya is something that is unforgettable)))

There are currents near Diamond. As mentioned above, there are only 3 hotels in this bay where there are no currents and winds.
In vain they refused Concorde and Sierra. And the 2nd line does not bother at all, it is not distant.
1000 and 1 night almost in front of the hotel. Go straight from the hotel, exit to the highway and to the left.
