Of the minuses: settlement from 14.00, if an early flight, you have to pay extra to settle early.
The territory is large, unites three hotels. In a nearby hotel there is a water park for 10 USD. per day, but open from 10.00-12.00 and from 14.00-16.00.
Drinks (rum, gin. . . ) are of very low quality, we thought they were diluted, but the bartender took out a new bottle and opened it in front of us and it was clearly not 40 degrees. So it's better to take it with you. Bottled beer is tolerable. I was also surprised by the taste of carbonated soft drinks (Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite), these are some analogues and taste different from the usual ones for the worse.
Animation is, but weak.
The reef is normal, but because of the waves it was often closed. The beach with lagoons is shallow (maximum on the chest) and during the daily low tide turned into a knee-deep puddle, but the children were fine.
The food is terrible, and probably the only significant drawback for which I would not recommend this hotel, everyone had diarrhea and, when communicating with other tourists, they also complained about it.
Extremely beautiful and well-groomed, clean, green area. Friendly staff. Room cleaning daily (regardless of leaving $ 1 or not).
Huge selection of food. Every day the fish is greased, almost every day the fish is grilled. Seafood for a week hour was not just one day, but every day, sometimes even twice a day. Constantly something is cooked on the grill (beef, lamb, partridge, fish, etc. ).
Just an incredible selection of desserts. Constantly vegetables, fruits.
Coffee from a coffee machine is excellent.
Alyakart's restaurants are open, the service is at a high level.
Animation is interesting, fun. Water aerobics and late competitions are held regularly from 10 am in the pool.
The staff is extremely friendly. We even called the reception several times to ask if everything was fine and if there were any questions.
Wi-Fi at the reception works perfectly. You can safely call and talk as much as you want.
Another thing is sending a photo. To do this, it is better to buy a seven or even better to wait until you return home and then send what you want and to whom you want.
After leaving the hotel, for 5 pounds (1/3 of a dollar) you can take a minibus to the old town (and you can for $ 15 by taxi). The same for an hour.
You can write a lot and endlessly. In general: if someone does not like something in this hotel, then with such inquiries or ponts you should not fly to Egypt, because for Egypt everything is perfect
Lots of mosquitoes, need a raptor.
Bed linen, towels not the first freshness, housekeeping poor, dirty floor, shampoos and shower gels were only on the first day. The minibar is empty. They don't even bring water to the room.
There is enough food in the restaurant, the quality of cooking is poor, often burnt meat, pizza, waffles. There were a lot of people, there was a crowd in the restaurant. Take something for the stomach and upset.
The reef is very mediocre, were in the Baron, it's gorgeous. Constantly strong waves and current, as the open sea, not a bay, the fish are beautiful.
The territory is very well-groomed, green.
Drinking is better to take your own, everything in the hotel is diluted with water.
Animation for 3.
And finally, we are in our beloved Egypt, at the Charmilion Hotel, as you understand, we have something to compare with)
The hotel is good, the rooms are bright, spacious and comfortable)
Bad internet - better buy a SIM card right away, Wi-Fi catches only at the reception, and then 1 photo loads in 10 minutes)
The sea, as always, is gorgeous, and from the pontoon, and from the reef, watch the fish, eat hedgehogs, be careful.
The pool is stated to be warm, but it is cold. After 1 bath you walk with snot (
For some reason, the animators are very aggressively asking all vacationers to write good reviews here, of the animators only Budi is good, he is cheerful and dances cool. Girls from Ukraine Veronica and Nastya are weak for animators. In general, Ukrainians behave very impudently in Egypt, yelling that, for example, Egypt is closed to us because of the Crimea, and so on, they spoil the impression very much.
The food is good in the hotel, especially the cakes and pastries, the chef is top notch. Also good and funny bartenders.
If you are from Russia - go to Egypt and relax! The Russians are very welcome there.
Everything is standard not bad - the rooms are not new, but spacious and clean, cleaning every day + change of linen 2r / week, regular breakfasts, sometimes even with mashed potatoes, enough dishes for lunch + a couple of soups, for dinner there is no less variety than for lunch - chicken , fish and veal are always available! The hotel was occupied at 20-30% + 10-15 families from the neighboring Sharmillion Sea Life are eating - and yet, there were almost never queues!
The beach was always almost empty, with the exception of the first row - but he was busy only at 11 am and by 70 percent, no more. The right side of the beach is cleared of corals in some places. In high tide, you can plunge there - the depth is 1.2-1.3 meters, in low tide - 70-80 cm. There are fish here and at any time!
Despite the windy place, it was stormy only for 1 day, and it was good in its own way - everyone splashed in the waves near the shore in cleared places!
With a pontoon it was more difficult!! ! 7 out of 8 days the weather was great! The sun rose at 6:00 and by 8:00 we tried to be already on the beach! It is very disappointing when the sea is almost calm, and the pontoon opens according to the mood of the lifeguard - at best from 10, or even from 11... Once there was a strong current near the pontoon. In this case, you can swim only in one direction from the pontoon - against the current. Tip: swim with your hands along the rope to the buoy, and then lie down on the water, lower your head and the current slowly carries you to the pontoon, and you examine the coral without moving. . .
Of the inconveniences, it is worth noting evening mosquitoes - take Raptors with you to the outlet and body sprays / creams if you are planning evening walks / gatherings in the air! And although every day, around 17:00, the staff conducts smoke fumigation - there really were enough mosquitoes!
In reality, all alcohol is tinted water with various incomprehensible smells of alcohol !! ! In addition to beer, which is often not available at the beach bar for two reasons: at 10:40 the car has not yet arrived, at 12:00 - it's already over, I'm waiting for the car! But don't be so quick to blame the bartenders - that's hotel policy! All bottles go to bars already diluted! If you want more or less acceptable alcohol - ask the bartender to open a sealed bottle in front of you, such as whiskey! Of course he doesn't have one! But if you get it over time, then he will get it, show a whole cork and a brand, print it out in front of you, pour it - and it will be practically your undiluted "nominal and personal at this bar"!
I was surprised by the "conditionally" time-limited visit to the Fish Restaurant. Tables are served by 18:30 - so we came... We were immediately served salads, after 10 minutes. - soup, after another 10 minutes. main course - a plate with fish, crab and 2 shrimps. By the way, alcohol in restaurants a La Carte is Egyptian, but not diluted! At 19:10 we were already served dessert!! ! We safely put it on the next table and continued to deal with crustaceans... At 19:30, the restaurant administrator approached us, asked if we liked everything, offered dessert again and said that the restaurant closes at 20:00 !! ! We were not interested in this information and we stayed in this restaurant until 21, measuredly and with pleasure finished with a dessert and a fruit plate from our cheerful waiter!
In general, the hotel is acceptable for your money! The animation team tries and entertains both children and adults! Our children practically did not depart from them and took an active part in sports!
Volleyball fans advice: be careful and try not to fall!! ! Under a small layer of coarse sand on the site in some places there is a stone rock!! ! At first, active and gamblers, after a couple of falls, fade with broken knees and elbows...
Due to the fact that there were few people, there was a lot of free territory, not a single queue))) For those who want to take a break from people, crowds and meditate, you are right here now) The room is clean and wonderful, the staff I personally came across was friendly, smiling and was always in a good mood. They check you in not when it is supposed to, but when you arrive. In general, they always met halfway in everything, so for the umpteenth time I rebooted here, received a new level of strength.
The reef here is just great, a huge variety of fish. Even 2 dolphins sailed to the pontoon, in a word, the absence of people benefited nature). Special thanks to the animation team for the good mood (Nasty, Angella, Budii), aerobics, dancing, games, evening shows. There were few people, so we took part in everything, so it was fun, and also v. the figure has tightened up well)))) still krepaturit) so the vacation was useful. In general, everything here is very worthy both for savings and the quarantine period.
The staff is friendly. We arrived at 9.00, although the check-in was from 14.00, at 10.00 we were settled and we had lunch. When checking out at 12.00, the bracelets were not cut off and we had lunch, because the flight was at 18.00. They didn’t ask for any money to check in earlier or don’t cut off the bracelets when checking out. There is a problem with alcohol, everything is diluted with water, except for beer. Wine - both white and red - is terribly diluted with water. Then the bartenders soar for 4 dollars to tourists a bottle of whiskey.
There are no complaints about the quality of cleaning in the room, but I didn’t go with a white handkerchief, I’ll leave it to the discretion of more attentive guests. The staff is mostly normal, there are a couple of norms of bartenders. Let me return to the number of Egyptians, as the workers and guides explained to me, because of the coronavirus, they began to let the local population into Sharm El Sheikh, who come for a couple of days to cleanly gorge themselves and shit around. It is impossible to enter the sea, because they are grouped at the entrance from the pontoon into the water, leaving no free space. They do not know how to swim, and they strive to drown, clinging to you. They swim right in their clothes, the sea instantly becomes muddy.
The hotel is located in a very windy place, every morning a red flag, which sometimes only took off at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Food sucks, all taste the same, came back 5 days ago, still diarrhea. From fruits - apples, pomelo, melon, dates. Not a single mango. Seafood was not served either. Also, Egyptian hotel guests tried food directly from a common spoon for distribution. French fries that fell on the floor were put back into the common plate. Around the hotel building and devastation. Very dirty both behind the hotel and in the hotel.
Strongly do not recommend. If you want quality - go to a European chain of hotels. Hilton, Rixos, Albatross and so on.
