Negative points that do not spoil the overall impression: 1) transfer to the beach 1 time: before lunch at 8-30, back at 13-30. If only once after lunch...But a taxi is available on foot for half an hour; 2) I chose the hotel only because of the beaches, there were Farsha and El Fanar, but upon our arrival they changed to Palma Beach. I was very upset, but these risks must be taken into account; 3) Checking out spoiled the impression a little: the room was rented out in the morning, they left beach towels for us, we went to the beach, and returned at 13:00. And while we were waiting for a taxi, they suddenly started cutting off our bracelets))) a small thing, but against the backdrop of complete positivity, it was unpleasant...
Overall the impressions are very positive.
In my opinion, this is the minimum price-quality 3* that you can get in Sharm.
We were brought to the hotel at 4-00 ...settled at 9-00.
At first they gave me a very old room ...I went to the reception after a couple of hours, they changed it to a good one without additional payments.
The room is spacious, clean, comfortable, bright ...I really liked it!
During the rest they cleaned every day, carefully, every day they made all sorts of figures from towels ...well done guys!
The hotel is small, cozy, well-groomed territory, clean, 2 pools, a bus takes you to the beach...there is about 9 and back about 13...once a day...and this is a minus for the hotel. But in 15 minutes walk there is a paid good beach, a good reef, the price is 2 dollars.
The location is a bit quiet...there are only shops and hotels in the area...you can take a taxi to Naama - 50 pounds.
The staff is good, friendly and welcoming.
Wi-Fi only at the reception. As in all hotels.
The food is poor here. Everything is the same. The choice is very small, but you can eat.
Alcohol - vodka, beer, gin, whiskey, rum, brandy.
Standard set in Egypt. Make a cocktail.
Animation is weak.
In general, the hotel is good!
As soon as we arrived (it was at 10 am), we were told to wait until 2:00 pm, since there were supposedly no free rooms, they didn’t give us a horse to eat either.
At 12 we were somehow settled, BUT... When we entered the room, firstly, it smelled terrible of paint, and secondly, there were three beds in general (although we paid for one double), after we spent less than 10 minutes in the room and at we were dizzy, we went to the reception to sort it out.
We were told to pay another $ 10 and we would have been settled in the one that was intended for us, and for the terrible smell of paint we were told that they were treating it from mosquitoes. DO NOT FOLLOW THE MONEY!! ! If you talk to them and insist on your own, they will still give you your number (they can take you into a room, this may scare someone, but everything will be OK)
In the room:
The first room had a regular shower and a bottom with small sides.
In our room where we lived there was a small bathtub with small sides and more or less a shower.
There are two dispensers in the bathroom, one near the washstand with soap, the second with supposedly shampoo in the shower (I advise you to take brushes, paste, shampoos with you, as all this will not be there) there will also be 4 white towels and 2 large towels for the beach and sun loungers.
The bed itself is soft and comfortable, but noticed someone's hair on the pillow and the duvet and sheet were stained.
The balcony overlooked a quiet pool, on the balcony itself there are 2 chairs and a mini table.
There is a safe that does not work, you can call for help, you will change the password, and the next day you will not be able to open it with this password.
Nutrition:
Buffet style food, there are two soups, but they are all Arabic and incomprehensible (eat at your own risk), then all sorts of side dishes, potatoes, pasta, rice, various sauces (but take into account the fact that this is not the same food as we accustomed to eating, it can be specific and incomprehensible in taste)
There is also meat, fish and kebab (sometimes very spicy), there are various salads, sweets and bread (lavash, buns, etc. )
For breakfast, they always make an omelet, for lunch they serve alcoholic drinks and tasteless beer and wine, for dinner they give meat or fish.
You can pour water into bottles, pour orange juice, apple juice (just chemistry) and allegedly mojito, there is also coffee (you can with milk), only black tea.
Territory:
3 pools (one large deep (220 cm), next to it for children) if you walk a little there is another pool, very quiet and 170 cm deep.
Music is always playing near the main deep pool (most often Arabic) until the second pool of music is almost inaudible). Near the main pool there is also a bar (you can not count on awesome cocktails)
Right at the entrance to the hotel there is a souvenir shop, fruits, chips, sweets and everyday life. chemistry.
Excursions:
There was a free city tour from the Anex tour and $ 20 could be paid for lunch (per person), the tour itself is not impressive at all, it’s purely money sucking, you can buy cheaper near the hotel.
You will be taken to some statue, then to an incomprehensible park with animals that move and growl (it may be fun for children, but everything looks as terrible as possible), then a very expensive oil factory (you will be told about their usefulness, etc. , but in fact, this is all to take more money from you) (Example: at this factory there was a stone that supposedly removes the smell of sweat, heals wounds after shaving, etc. , etc. And it costs 3 things for $ 10, then when we came on an excursion to Cairo, the same stones at the same oil factory, it seems to me, cost $ 5 for 5 pieces)
Then you will be brought to a shop with sweets and coffee (where it costs several times more than near the hotel)
And a long-awaited lunch in a restaurant where you will eat everything in a hurry because you may be forgotten, but I don’t argue, the seafood soup was delicious; will give.
We were also on excursions in Cairo, looked at the pyramids, the Sphinx and the National Museum (the museum is moving, so I don’t know how and where it will be next)
The pyramids are impressive but spoil everything by the Arabs who are insanely annoying (IN NO EVENT do not give them phones, tickets, etc. they can pick it up and then ask for money)
You will be there the whole day and will arrive only at night and they will give you a dry ration on the road (if you can call it that, I will attach a photo), they will not give you water, so get it in advance, but you yourself drink this bread and bread, an orange and a cucumber with a tomato, all.
They said that they would bring dinner to the room, but we never waited for it.
Beach:
What they wrote below in the comments for the Farsh beach, but everything is cool, but they won’t let you in and won’t even take money, this hotel doesn’t even own part of this beach, you will be taken to the beach where there are small and many stones (it’s better to go in slippers , there are poisonous fish in the form of stones), but if you go further along the pantus it is very beautiful and deep, there are many corals and various beautiful fish.
You are taken to this beach, it is called Palma beach, from this hotel by small buses at a certain time and taken away too. But there were cases that he didn’t pick us up at all and we went by another bus from another hotel, but the fact that they didn’t come for us at the reception said that he didn’t see anyone and left (but we were standing there at 16:40 (bus at 17:00) but didn’t see anyone there), but you can walk on foot, it takes 30-40 minutes or by taxi for $2.
Eviction:
You need to check out before 12, they won’t let you eat at lunch since you have already checked out, you can of course pay, but according to them it’s $ 10 per person, although there’s nothing special there for that kind of money.
I can’t say anything about the animation, since we didn’t attend the disco, etc. But I know that they can take place until 2 am, so if you live near the main pool, you will not be allowed to sleep normally.
At the reception, there are almost no Russian speakers, God forbid, one does not understand well, and even in English.
