Hotel ratings by criteria:
We flew with Join Up.
Carries UIA.
Boeing 737-900. The plane is 8 years old. The layout is like in a minibus, there is nowhere for your knees to go.
Departure at 17:50. In Egypt, the time is minus 1 hour.
Arrival in Sharm is late with all the consequences (you don’t really see where they are staying, dinner has already ended, etc. ).
Though departure back by the same planes at 17:55. Bracelets are not cut. Extend the number until 15:00 - 25 euros.
The territory of the hotel is large, elongated by a long line perpendicular to the sea.
The houses have a four-digit numbering, the smaller the first number, the closer to the reception and, accordingly, to the sea.
The furthest houses are numbered starting with 7.
There is no such thing as "sea view". None of the houses have a sea view.
Full circle around all the houses - 1400 meters.
An open bus runs around this circle without interruption from 8 am until late in the evening.
The maximum waiting time for the bus is 5 minutes.
During the week of stay, the bus broke down 1 time for 2 hours.
If you settled far away, then do not rush to change the number, because it is useful to walk around so as not to get fat on free grubs).
The bus takes you to the reception, then to the sea by elevator two floors down.
The walk is long and not a nice descent.
Elevators go fast, there are 4 of them.
The beach is large, there are a lot of sunbeds, broken ones are changed.
Beach towels without cards, immediately in the room for each one, complete with one beach bag per room. You can change them at will by calling the reception.
The reef is lit by the sun all day, and not like in some hotels it is already in the shade in the afternoon.
The reef itself is relatively good. but not the best.
To see something beautiful, you need to sail away from the pontoon.
The pontoon is short.
On the beach there is a bar with drinks and snacks, toilets, showers, a diving center with all sorts of entertainment such as bananas and parachutes....
From the beach you can climb stairs to the terrace with jacuzzi.
The guests are mostly Ukrainians.
There were Germans and French and Poles, as well as quite a few Arabs.
The rooms are not bad, the furniture is not killed. Large mirrors, a safe, 40-inch Samsung TVs with the ability to play video from external media or transfer images to a TV from other devices (you can burn movies to a USB flash drive and watch)
In the bathroom, the shower cabin is not a classic plastic tray with doors, but a separate space finished with marble and tiles. Everything is pretty good quality.
There is a safe and a refrigerator, a kettle with a constantly replenished supply of tea, coffee and sugar, a hairdryer. Every day during the cleaning put two and a half liter bottles of water.
On the territory there are many pools with bars, water slides, a gallery of shops. half of which do not work. There is definitely a pharmacy, a shop with cosmetics such as shower gels and suntan products, leather bags, Vodafone and mobile things. Bought an internet card. At first they took Orange at the airport, then the traffic ended, and there were no Orange sellers at the hotel, they were forced to take Vodafone. Internet Orange was much faster. 8 GB costs about $20, and 5 GB costs about $11. Wi-Fi in the hotel is only at the reception, the speed is slow, in the evenings it connects every other time because there are a lot of people.
There is a hookah lounge, an amphitheater where animation takes place, which by the way is completely dead.
The food cannot impress with variety, but you can put up with it. . .
Rice, potatoes, various vegetables, pasta, a couple of fish, a couple of meats, chicken. Sweets. There were no things like crabs. From fruits only apples, pears and oranges. Although the season is now for watermelons and mangoes, they are not. Only for money. 1 mango - 1 dollar.
There are no juices in the packages, all from diluted powders. Alcohol is local. Beer on tap, not bottled. Bottled Heineken for money.
Everything is like in all other hotels, but....
There are not many guests in the hotel, the main restaurant is closed. Used only the second, open, on the terrace in front of the sea.
There are also not many staff in the hotel.
This staff does not have time to clean.
And this is catastrophic.
People go for drinks themselves, often they are small children. They drop glasses, they break, the staff brushes the glass with their shoes against the wall, they do not wipe the floor. Tables are dirty. Forks and spoons too. Glasses and cups are often not cleaned from lipstick or coffee / tea. Glass cups run out quickly, then disposables run out just as quickly.
At lunchtime people rush to the restoran with flippers. The sand falls off the fins. The staff collects the sand with a broom in a scoop and pours it right here into a pot with palm trees. The glass walls and parapet of the restaurant have not been wiped for a hundred years, everything is greasy and slapped with hands, spit.
On the last day, a large restaurant was opened (there were more people, but there were no more staff). The situation has not improved, the same attitude of the staff towards cleanliness.
I saw the gardeners twice in a week. Almost everywhere the grass is not mowed, fallen leaves are not collected, dead plants are not removed and are not replaced by new ones. On the territory you can watch a glass standing on top of the trash can for a week, which no one cleans up. The same goes for the plates that the cleaner puts out of the room, but does not pass to the bar or restaurant, but hides under the stairs.
Many light bulbs do not burn at night because they have burned out and no one replaces them.
It seems that everything is slowly but surely pumping and falling into decay.
If they do not increase the number of staff or make the existing staff work better, then it will be generally sad.
Maybe the problems with cleanliness and order in the hotel in my description sound scary, but it’s real to survive if you come to enjoy the sea, and not look for flaws.
You can relax here well, but it's definitely not five stars, even by Egyptian standards.
