Rested with my husband in the period from 11 to 22 October 2008.
Tour operator Coral Travel, everything is flawless. Met, placed, carried out. Hotel guide Amr was very courteous, gave comprehensive information about the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised that he did not impose excursions and other paid extras at all. services.
Settlement. A Russian-speaking girl Olga works at the reception, so there were no problems in communication. Since only two of us arrived at the hotel, check-in took 5 minutes. Of course, we, like all Russians, were settled in the most distant building without balconies. The Vip Spa is located in the basement of this building. The view from the window of the room was very doubtful: a blank wall of a neighboring building, which housed a transformer substation. Without letting go of the porter, we called the reception, where we were immediately offered for 30 dollars. room on the second floor of the central 3-storey building (in this building there is a restaurant "LA GOURMET").
Number.
We got room 5129, much larger (about 35 m2) than in the previous building and with a large terrace. View from the window: the pool with a recessed bar, the sea and the island of Tiran. In general, 30 dollars was not a pity at all. The room has plumbing, air conditioning, mini-bar, TV - everything is in good working condition. A day later, we left the cleaner $ 1 each, he twisted swans for us from a towel, all kinds of figures, put vases with flowers. With gel, shampoo and soap, he simply overwhelmed us, his hygiene products were never taken out of the suitcase. Unfortunately, there are no safes in the rooms, all valuables have to be stored at the reception.
The territory of the hotel. The territory of the SOL CYRENE and SOL SHARM hotels is practically the same. The hotels are separated by an internal road, along which a shared bus runs to the beach. You can move freely and use the pools of the neighboring hotel. SOL SHARM is an older hotel, with green spaces, all kinds of flowering shrubs.
As a rule, they go to the territory of this hotel for photo shoots. In general, everything is very clean, comfortable, beautiful, well-groomed and pleasing to the eye.
Nutrition. The all-inclusive program includes three meals a day at the Ghadamis restaurant. I must say right away that this is not my first time in Egypt, but I have never seen such good food. Every day, two types of potatoes were garnished (fries, baked in foil, stewed in milk sauce, mashed potatoes), as well as rice (white and brown), spaghetti, pizza, lasagna. From meat dishes daily beef, fish in sauce and on diets. table, chicken - everything just melted in your mouth. For 11 days of our vacation, 3-4 times on the terrace of the restaurant they made shish kebab and barbecue. There were also two fish days, which were served with octopus, mussels, squid in sauce and several types of fish. Loved the variety of soups. For lunch and dinner, waiters serve wine, beer, fanta, Coca-Cola, Baraka water. My husband was delighted with the food and the chef.
The hotel has 2 pool bars and a bar next to the reception where all kinds of drinks are served. There is also a snack restaurant LA GOURMET (which we lived above) but we have never seen anyone use it. On the open terrace of this restaurant, Ala Carte dinners are held at a cost of 20 euros per person (for 11 days there was 1 time).
Beach. Sea. From our building to the sea was about 5 minutes on foot. From the farthest building 10-12 minutes. Every 5-10 minutes an open bus goes to the beach, it takes 1-1.5 minutes to go. The beach is sandy, shared by 2 hotels (SOL CYRENE + SOL SHARM). In my opinion, the beach area is small, the sunbeds are too close to each other. On the beach there is a new shower (even two) and a toilet with all amenities (including hot water). We came to the beach around 8.30 in the morning, there were always plenty of sunbeds. Beach towels are issued by plastic cards at the hotel by the pools. The beach has a new pontoon about 50-60 m long.
If you enter the water from the shore, then the depth begins in 30-40 meters. Sunset in the sea in some places on stones and carved corals, in some places on sand. We did without special slippers for swimming. Many in their reviews write that there are no fish. We, from our pontoon, observed them in abundance, as well as a stingray, octopus, starfish and urchins. On the beach, the internal finishing work of the new SOL BIASH CLUB building is underway (which does not interfere with the rest at all). Under the canopy of the terrace of this building, gymnastics, belly dancing, yoga, Latino are held daily. In the pool on the beach, aqua aerobics is carried out.
Animation. In SOL CYRENE, as such, there is no animation for Russian-speaking vacationers. There are 4 people in the animation team, all Italians. During the day, by the central pool with a sunken bar, they do gymnastics and aqua aerobics (all in Italian). An animation team from the SOL SHARM hotel works on the beach for all vacationers.
This animation team is very professional and deserves special praise. Russian-speaking girl Olga from Kyiv is engaged with children: they build sand castles, hold all kinds of competitions. In the evening, children's animation takes place in the amphitheater of the SOL SHARM hotel from 21.00 to 21.30, then from 22.00 to 23.00 all kinds of performances for adults. Texts are translated into 4 languages, including Russian and English. Around the stage there are plastic tables and chairs, there is also a bar for vacationers SOL SHARMA. Unfortunately, drinks tend to spill, and no one wipes or cleans the furniture. Many vacationers complained that they stuck either to the chair or to the table.
After the end of the animation, at 23.00, everyone who wants to move to the hookah tent, which is located between the hotels. Here from 23.00 to 3 o'clock. disco at night. There is also a night bar near the hookah bar, in which drinks are paid for all vacationers.
Well, in conclusion to all of the above, I want to say that our vacation was completely successful, and the impressions from the hotel were the most pleasant. With pleasure we will return to SOL CYRENE again, there is some special atmosphere there. We will be very happy if our review helps someone in choosing a place to stay.
