Pros and cons of Ivi Cyrene sharm hotel. 2023.07.
FOR THIS PRICE, THEY COULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER.
Don't be fooled by information about hotel renovations from bloggers.
+ Not far from the airport.
+ The territory of the hotel is just beginning to be irrigated. Green minimum. The pool area is being cleaned.
+ The animation team created a good mood with games, contests, and music. constantly in action. They really got a general impression of the hotel.
+ Friendly staff at the reception.
+ Two clean pools (but very chlorinated)'
+ Working air conditioner in the room.
+ On the beach there are sunbeds, a shower for rinsing off after the sea. drinks are provided (water and powdered juices, cocktails for an additional fee.
- the condition of the furniture is such that half of it really needs to be replaced (with us, in the dining room, a man fell on the floor, because a chair broke into two parts under him. A man of average build, 60-70 kg. )
-pool weiw room that was provided ready for occupancy, had sand, threads and needles on the floor, hair of different colors in the bed. There is someone's torn nail in the sink. In the bathroom with a friend, there was a layer of dirt (dried foam and dirt) from previous users...
- the condition of the bed linen is simply to withstand the nerves and sense of smell. Hair on the bed, on the mattress, different colors and lengths. The smell of long-unwashed socks. It seems that the previous guests were simply sent for. When changing the bed, only the sheet was changed, ATTENTION! ! FOR DOUBLE BED: BLANKET FROM SINGLE SET. And then along the line of pillows...to make it look good, but it WASN'T. That is, half of the bed is a bare mattress with other people's stains and hair.
- the reef near the hotel is almost dead [10% have not yet been trampled] several types of fish are lured by locals and hotel workers with bread or something else. Because then there would be nothing but sprat slime.
Food
It is separate.
For lunch there was a choice: baked potatoes, rice, bony fish, such as crucian carp, wilted vegetables (paprika, bitter cabbage with mayonnaise, wilted tomato, salad leaves and pickled carrots, olives and celery)
On the weekend, the situation improved, because the management arrived, thanks to which the kitchen staff began to work better.
I was delighted with the veal, lyula-kebab, sweet pastries, Egyptian breads and even two cakes. For the entire stay (6 nights)
But the dry chicken with broken bones spoiled the impression throughout the rest.
I really wanted to write a good review about this hotel, but it probably won't work.
So:
After watching youtube videos about the recent renovation and the beautiful kitchen, we thought it was a good choice for the price.
Rested in July.
Room #2226 pool view
Of the pluses:
Upon arrival, we were met by the girl Anna, who was very friendly and worried about our comfort, for which I thank her very much.
Also, special thanks to the animators from the "crazy boom" group. If it weren't for their work, we would have shot ourselves on the first day. In reality, the hotel probably only survives thanks to them.
I was pleasantly surprised that there is good Wi-Fi even in the room. This is really +!
And now about the cons:
Regarding the rooms, DO NOT GO FOR RENOVATION!!!!
THE ROOMS ARE KILLED TO THE EDGE, THE PLUMBING IS LEAKING FROM EVERYWHERE. YOU WILL NOT GET CLEANLINESS FROM THE STAFF EVEN IF YOU PAY. WE PAYED FOR A NICE ROOM WHEN WE CHECKED IN AND GOT A ROOM WITH HAIR ON THE BED AND NAILS IN THE SINK AND HANDLES IN THE BATHROOM.
And when we asked for money to change the bed, they made us HALF the bed (that is, the bed was half naked, the mattress was HALF COVERED with a rag (torn duvet cover) with the smell of socks
But on top is a beautiful teddy bear made of towels, this is a +.
The food is the same all Sunday.
Sausages and cheese feel like they are made of sand.
The reef near the hotel is dead, there is a normal reef 600 m to the right.
One portion of ice cream is given per person once a day.
Juices are either diluted to the state of water or syrup that is impossible to drink (they did not learn to keep the correct proportions for sure)
It was a shock when a package of concentrate was opened with the teeth at the bar. and poured into the dispenser. They didn't take that reservoir anymore. There is sprite, bottled cola, they SAVED themselves..
A la carte restaurants are just the name, the same as in the general dining room, only a 20% difference in composition.
The food is the same all week.
Lots of drunk RACISTS in the evening!
The first vacation in which we were really looking forward to its end.
I hope that we are just unlucky.
The infrastructure is zero.
Lifehack:
If you need a cheap taxi, use the In drive application
Glory to Ukraine! !
Now for the bad. Food is perhaps the only negative, but very big. The food is absolutely not tasty. Meat chicken legs every day, beef less often, with streaks. For a week, once they gave delicious lamb in the amount of 100 gr. per person!! ! The fish is the cheapest, vile, like a very marsh crucian. Rice is disgusting, many kinds. Salads are also very tasteless, dry vegetables. The asshole who fried the scrambled eggs basically served out of line, first the Arabs, then the rest, I wanted to fill his ebalo. Sweets and starchy foods are the only things they couldn't spoil.
Powdered juices, two types only. Good quality alcoholic drinks. No seafood.
In general, the hotel would be firmly in line with 4 stars, if the menu were radically changed. And so, on an empty stomach, this is a C grade. 6/10.
The sea is beautiful, there is a sunset from the pier and it is sandy, which is important for children and adults who do not swim well.
The reef is bad, but you can walk not far, there is a better reef near another hotel
The territory is not very big, but it is well-kept.
WORST - with food and drinks: the quality is so-so (as often in Egypt in budget hotels - not tasty, the drinks are too diluted even for Egypt), but here the choice is already very small and every day, in fact, they serve exactly the same. In recent days, I didn't want to eat anything at all.
Of the pluses: free wifi on the territory and in the rooms, animation, and a well-kept territory
This hotel is very dirty, especially the rooms, it's just awful, it seems that the dirt has been here for 10 years. When we talk about it at the reception and show them these photos, they say: "I know, we have it like that everywhere. " That is, they don't care. Cleaning in the rooms is bad, even when you leave $ 1, it feels like they only pretended to be cleaned. Also, the first couple of days there was no hot water in the room, and only after the scandal with the general manager did it appear very quickly. There is also no free Wi-Fi.
Of the pluses - this is a beautiful territory of the hotel itself, there are a lot of greenery and plants everywhere. It takes about 5-10 minutes to go to the sea, and there is also a shuttle service quite often.
As for the food, I have two-valued feelings, it is sometimes delicious food, sometimes oversalted. But every day they give almost the same thing. Omelette in the morning, we can't look at it now. A little better for lunch and dinner.
Definitely worth it for the price. But I'd rather pay $100 extra and get into a better hotel.
Our vacation was saved only by our good company with which we were traveling, as well as the animation at the hotel, thanks to the guys Sasha, Yulia, Markusha and Marie.
There are two hotels on the territory: Cyrene Sharm and Cyrene Island. I advise everyone, if you have already decided to stay at this hotel, take at least vouchers to Cyrene Island. It costs less, but the rooms are cleaner and bigger. And the dining room there is still only one for two hotels.
