I will write about the positive aspects for those who, despite the possibly fair criticism of this 3-star hotel (don't be misled by the number of stars on the label), still opt for this small and cozy haven. So:
- TAVA - located at a distance of 3 hours drive from Sharm El Sheikh. Do not forget that 6 hours of vacation is spent on the road from the airport and back.
+ You cover this distance in a personal car with a driver provided by TEZlimo without visiting neighboring hotels and waiting for tourists to drop off. Instead, just immerse yourself in your thoughts, admiring the lunar landscapes, Bedouin settlements and the azure shores of the South Senai. During the trip, you can take a couple of Egyptian lessons from the driver - it will come in handy : ))
+ The staff understands Russian quite well. Many were trained in Cairo. But English is still closer to them.
Very friendly.
There are many free rooms, but the first check-in will probably be in a room with windows to the north and overlooking the wasteland: ((I don’t know why, but this happens to me in every hotel in Egypt. How to deal with this? Money! In my case, an additional fee for changing the room was $ 35. This must be taken into account.
- Monotonous food.
+ Fresh oranges, melon and cucumbers in the morning. Grilled chicken - in the evening. I advise gourmets to take tea and coffee with them. Because the choice of these drinks is very limited. A missed lunch is more than compensated for by daytime sunbathing, but if you have recently arrived, it is better to spend this time on the beach under an umbrella. After 15:00 you can leave the "shelter" because solar activity is reduced. And you can safely sunbathe under open rays.
Although Egypt has the same time zone as Latvia, the actual time is clearly not the same. Dawn at 6.00.
+ A good way to get up early (however, without an alarm clock it doesn’t work). From 6.30 to 9.00 is a great time for sunbathing, water treatments and morning exercises.
- The coastline near the water is strewn with pebbles (many will need slates),
+ but after walking a few meters on the rocks you will be generously rewarded - a flat sandy bottom. It is so gentle that a comparison with the beach of Jurmala suggests itself. Really looks like it. Only the water is clear - like a tear and warmer than an example : )
A smooth sandy shore with coral islands at a depth of one and a half meters is a paradise for beginner divers. Both children and pensioners can safely swim here, since even at a distance of 50 meters from the shore an adult can stand with both feet on the bottom, and at a distance of 100 meters the depth of the bay does not exceed 3 meters.
Sunset at 17.30. At 18.00 it becomes quite dark.
+ The room has a TV with 2 Russian channels for Germany.
The programs are chosen interestingly and tastefully with a minimum of advertising. Also CNN and stuff...
+ Entertainment programs start at 21.00. The repertoire is standard Egyptian.
Main Advantage: SWISS INN is located 30 minutes from the Israeli border. It is this circumstance that becomes the fundamental choice of a hotel for those wishing to visit the Promised Land. Imagine tourists from Sharm El Sheikh who have already spent 4-5 hours on the road due to check-ins in different hotels and will spend the same amount on their return. And here is the border with Israel near. By the way, not far from Mount Moses.
What do you remember about SWISS INN?
• Clear water of the Red Sea.
• Gentle coast with a sandy bottom.
• Short distance from the dining room to the sea.
• Worthy opponents for playing volleyball.
• Pleasant baking.
What didn't you like?
• Settling in a room "for picky" in the presence of free rooms of a different level.
• The level of comfort and cleanliness in the room does not correspond to the declared level of the hotel.
• Monotonous food.
• The restaurant is constantly changing the location of tableware - an original attempt to diversify the food, causing shock among newly arrived tourists.
Take care of yourself, enjoy the warm weather.
