Good afternoon, I do not want to write complaints or shed bitter tears, I will try to write objectively and honestly.
I am an experienced tourist, I have visited a lot of places, I have seen a lot of things and there is something to compare with. I have been to Egypt many times, but in 4 * for the first time. Composition, Me and my four year old daughter.
The first is advice to everyone, before buying a tour READ THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOTEL CAREFULLY, on this resource almost everyone writes what is paid and what is free, all hotels are different with different rules and approaches to the client. The guide of the operator's company is not related to the rules of the hotel and cannot change them at your request.
Now in order:

1. ARRIVAL / CHECK-IN was early, and according to the rules of the hotel, check-in from 14.00, it was understood as the information was studied at home, but immediately sent to the canteen without a bracelet, after which they very kindly offered to check in instantly for $ 10, I agreed because I really wanted to to change clothes and rush to the beach, it was very hot... , a young Bedouin reported the Chumadan, he also showed everything in the room, double-checked everything for efficiency and integrity, gave him a tax and sent the Bedouin on his own business.
2. ROOM, a huge room, 35 meters, a standard bathroom for this region with a Chinese shower, a jacuzzi, a regular set of furniture, a safe, a TV set, separate single beds, if desired, you can move it and get a double airfield, in short, you can live cheerfully and joyfully, windows on cascading pools. The MAIN DISADVANTAGE is the absence of a balcony, it is very important for me, I like to crack a good cognac on the balcony before lunch and dinner, as a result of this I had to go and change the room. I came to the reception desk, pointing my finger at the building in which I want to live, they took us and moved us there to a room with a balcony, and a view of the main square of the hotel, in my surprise, my hand took out a fiver from my pocket and rewarded the manager.
3. ROOM CLEANING, here my assessment is very weak, the room is cleaned well, the floor is washed, the beds are made, things are folded, interesting figures are twisted, towels are changed, but in the bathroom it’s frankly dirty, specifically dirty, I think it’s bad, but always left a dollar, I am such a person.
4. HOT WATER, it is NOT as such, in the morning and in the evening it is warmer than usual, but not warm, maximum 25 degrees, but it was written in the reviews, it was ready, so it survived, but the child was washed with screams and kicks, but what to do .
5. FOOD, does not shine with abundance, the same, standard set as in all hotels, vegetables, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, no herbal greens, second, rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, chicken, beef, fish. There is no grill, since the restaurant did not have a platform on the street, I think this is due to constant winds, and in order not to cover all the walls with scraps, they did not organize it. During the rest I did not meet starving people.

6. THE TERRITORY is relatively small, but maybe it’s normal for a four, there is a main pool, I really liked it, part of it is very shallow and visible, while basking on a sun lounger, you can always see a diving child who is very comfortable in shallow water, then the pool deepens up to 1.5 m. , I swam in the morning, I liked it, the whole area is decorated in the form of a rock with a grotto where the main and only bar in the hotel is located, only there you can order drinks. There is also a semblance of a bar at the cascading pools and on the beach, but there is only beer and water. In the farthest corner there is a small playground, but you have to be careful of some of the stairs without crossbars, you can specifically fall and get injured.
7. POOLS, of different depths, sizes, with waterfalls, but at the time of our arrival there were no heated ones. The water is so-so, the child turned blue, trembled, but kept coming back to swim))). The water is clean, sometimes it blows sand and leaves, because for a couple of days it blew seriously, but for this you should not be offended by the hotel, it is not subject to the elements of nature, but I myself saw how the bottom was vacuumed.
8. SEA and BEACH, everything is fine here, I received it as I ordered, although the hotel is considered to be on the second line, but there are no buildings between the sea and the hotel, just imagine that the territory is so large that you need to walk 500m along it to the sea, we reached for 5-8min. Without tension, a shuttle bass also runs to the beach, very convenient and interesting. The sea is clean, the coast is sandy, the entrance is sharp, the depth is a couple of meters. If you go a little to the left, then there is a beautiful, wild coral reef, fish and all that, you swim like channels between reefs, super. On the main beach there are umbrellas, awnings and wooden sun loungers, they certainly ask if not for renovation, then at least for painting, they are really very old, as well as the mattresses on them. The only thing that is not comfortable, the sheds are far from the surf line and you can’t see a child running on the water because of the sandy rift full of surf, you have to burn in the sun to look after the child. Beach towels are issued on cards and changed once a day, but my little four-year-old daughter charmed them so that these blue uncles, as she called them, met her with a dry towel every time she left the pool))), but the rules are the same once a day.
9. ENTERTAINMENT, with the animation in the hotel, as for me, everything is in perfect order, four guys tried their best, the children adored them as much as they did, arranged dances for them every day and in the evening, there were no beach exercises for adults, dancing, water aerobics , the water did not have for this, but I think they will start it in May, there were also guest performers, belly dancers, fire shows, fakirs.

10. HOTEL, located on a hillside, and the whole location is cascading, I would not recommend to people who are very old, with leg problems and limited movements, I met an elderly couple whose husband had to bring food to his wife in the room, as she just could not climb the middle veranda where the dining room was located, and the reception was even higher. The hotel is the latest in the coastal range of Sharma towards Nabq, further mountains and desert. The nearest small market is a kilometer away, but it is better to take the 5km minibus, where the center is much larger and the cheapest store is George Clooney.
11. STAFF, very polite, friendly, many speak Russian, always positive)))
12. WI FI in the hotel is paid and the price is inadequate, buy an Orange SIM card at the airport, $ 6 for 20 Gb tyrnet and at least watch movies online, don’t use it for a couple of weeks, and also learn how to use it on your phone, ACCESS POINT, and tyrnet from your phone will be on the phone of every member of your company.
TOTAL: We had a great rest, but we also know how to turn off the negative, great experience, in particular in Egypt and Turkey. We bought our tour very cheaply, less than $ 400 for two in 8 days, the flight took half, something else the operator, and for the remaining pennies the hotel lived, fed, watered, entertained us and, most importantly, tolerated our frequent Soviet snobbery, so I really I am grateful to the hotel for my excellent vacation, new acquaintances and positive charge. If there is still such a cost, I will definitely come again, and maybe more than once)))
The Join UP operator flew and arrived right on schedule on the tickets, but according to the guide, 80% of the company’s flights are postponed, Join UP has a clear lottery, but the saddest thing is that on the day of our arrival, the plane with tourists that flew from Sharm to Kyiv landed in Kharkov, and tourists were sent to Kyiv by bus, I can’t even imagine how small children, and especially their parents, endured it, but as the guide warned, be prepared for this.
I hope my review will be useful and in no case will scare away tourists from this hotel.
ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!! !
