Unfortunately, the hotel has become a little worse in terms of staff, territory and rooms. It can be seen that the pandemic knocked down and they save on staff last year, they saved on irrigation and the plants suffered a lot.
But I'll start in order! The rooms in the Garden are all two-room, but our tourists are not accommodated in rooms overlooking the pool, only for an extra charge, mostly the local public and they are accommodated in their best rooms. The rooms themselves are very tired and the furniture and plumbing, but I won’t be very strict, in general, it’s okay. But this time, what really pissed me off was the room cleaner Said, it seems (our number was 3431). I cleaned only three times in 10 days, I saw that we had a small child and specially came at lunch when we were sleeping, he had to be driven into the room so that he would clean up before dinner (the bed was never changed. But this is all individually, since our friends had another guy who just tried to twist the bears, etc. how lucky in short.
The food is good varied, tasty but without frills. The restaurant staff is very good, the bars too. But the trouble is, the straws for cocktails are not there almost all the time, and since the Arabs have a habit of groping the whole glass until they give it, you don’t feel like drinking anymore (
We were 15 people with children) and half had diarrhea and periodically recurring, we concluded that the matter was in juices (aka UPI), those who did not drink had no problems.
Animation was not from the word at all! Children's disco and then some bullshit from the animators or even something paid like a $6 foam party. And it is clear that animators from the CIS came to work almost for food. Water aerobics and morning exercises were but as for me it is.
Beach, pools, coral and water park as it was excellent.
In general, the feeling was spoiled by the cleaner, juices and bad animation. And the kitchen and the sea are ok. But for the price, it was the most inexpensive of the category with a water park, so not bad for your money.

We chose this hotel because of the reef and the good water park. They knew that there would be wind, and therefore a storm was possible. These days you can go on excursions. Liked the area. Quiet was a plus for us. All animation in neighboring hotels - a common network. When you want to have fun (everything is nearby), if you don’t want to, you relax.

Buffet restaurant. Normal food. It was better before the crisis, but we were completely satisfied.
A small minus is the noise from the planes. The airport is nearby.
There is no wifi in the rooms. It is better to buy a local card.

In Egypt 7 times. Filtering hotels. We decided to fly after ALBATROS IN HURGHADA to another water park with children. But something went wrong upon arrival. In principle, for almost $ 1k, in coronavirus, until September 1 without tests, for 2 + 2. As if nothing particularly pleasant was expected for this amount.

In Egypt 7 times. Filtering hotels. We decided to fly after ALBATROS IN HURGHADA to another water park with children. But something went wrong upon arrival. In principle, for almost $ 1k, in coronavirus, until September 1 without tests, for 2 + 2. As if nothing particularly pleasant was expected for this amount. BUT THERE WAS AN OFFER for $ 800, we decided not to waste time on trifles, and the albatross was for the same amount, but with the innovation - without a personal beach line - we decided to take a chance and in vain! ))) Yes. It's not money! I agree, not Rixos, there were no expectations as such. But It's 5* and 4*, before that it was by weight better! This is not a move-pick where we were, not Labrand and not even Jolie Willy. It's like Experience and Vera Club!
We arrived at 7 am. At the reception they said that check-in is possible at 9, but if you pay $ 70 extra. I didn't agree. They asked to come at 11, they will settle. Came at 11 again offers to settle earlier, but it is already possible for 50. Refused. I say I want to come for free and what time to come. They said at 12, she came, again she puts me paid, I say already nervously that I want it for free and again I ask for the time, at 14! They came and settled. But at intervals they went into a restaurant to drink, then they almost drove out, like kites standing there so that they would not take food in their mouths. And yes, I agree that there are check-in dates, but NOT for $70! All times they always gave $ 20 for settling, but here the start is different and this is not pleasant.
Nutrition. You will not stay hungry, but everything is the same as everywhere else. Variety 0. And there is a plus that there were no problems with the stomach.
The children did not eat pastries, the only time they had gozinaki, they liked it.
Sea. Walk 5-7 minutes. Very small, stones, hedgehogs, corals. The beach is empty and it was cool. The children gurgled, but it was impossible to swim to the depth - just above the knee, and then the buoys and the lifeguard reminds of this. The sea is warm and clean.
Cleaning is nothing. The numbers are dead. The sink was pierced twice, but the last 2 days they used the shower, because it was useless to call the sewer. Services 0.
The hotel is quiet and peaceful! And why? Because on our vacation there were somewhere 90% of the Arabs! And it really didn’t bother me, but on the contrary, it’s calmer without TAGILA. Cultured families with children, without bullying, as usual over the staff, without drunken conversations and queues for alcohol at the bar. This is a really big plus.
Aquapark. It was cool! Clean, safe, a good selection of slides for children and adults.
There is no animation. There is no music.
On the day of departure, no one called and offered to take things, for the first time in history. Lunch boxes are not provided.
What can I say. 1k $ it is basically worth it if you have a rest with children. There is nothing for the couple to do. Pure family hotel. Will I go again? No. Definitely. Since the hotels we were in were offered for this money and they were worth it, even Jolie Willie was for $ 850, but they didn’t want to repeat themselves and were a little sorry. Although I’m not slandering, we succeeded during the coronovirus holiday!

Charmillion Gardens is an excellent hotel for families and friends.
Well, perhaps I'll start everything in order.
We flew to rest with two families 2 + 1 (12) and 2 + 2 (8.10), tour operator JOIN UP. Departure from Kharkov was early, on time, arrived 20 minutes earlier. Therefore, we were already at the hotel at 9.00. At the reception, we were offered to check in earlier for $ 50 per family, since it was not very desirable to wait until 14.00, we bargained for 20 per family. They settled us in a building next to the reception on the first floor, rooms 3414 and 3420. The rooms were spacious, clean, two rooms, one has a huge double bed with a good mattress, the other has two single beds. The rooms are not new, but everything in the room worked. Cleaned every day, towels changed, shampoo added. Swans were spun even without a dollar.
The area is very large and beautiful. There are many pools, bridges, fountains, flowers, palm trees and generally locations for beautiful photos.
The beach is very large, there were always enough sunbeds at any time of the day. Entry into the sea from pantone 147 m.
Nice beautiful coral reef, lots of fish. There is also a lagoon with entry from the shore, where there are also a lot of fish. I recommend to go in coral slippers.
On the territory of three hotels, which can be used freely, there are many pools, but only two are heated, one in the Club and one in Sea Life. The Gardens also has an excellent water park. Many different slides both in the adult area and in the area for kids. One trouble, the water in the swimming pools of the water park is cold, they are not heated. But we were not nearly embarrassed and we dashed off all the plenty. It was a lot of fun.
Animation at the hotel, both daytime and evening, is very varied and good. Well done animators did not let you get bored, but not intrusive.
For nutrition. We ate at the restaurant of the Sea Life hotel, as our restaurant did not work due to the poor occupancy of the hotel. The food was varied and catered for all tastes. We were happy with everything, thanks to the chefs they cooked deliciously. There were also a lot of pastries and fruits.
As for alcohol, as everywhere in Egypt, it is rather weak. But we took it with us and this fact almost embarrassed us. Bottled beer is good, everything else feels like diluted with water. Because then the bartenders sell the surplus to tourists for dollars. It is a pity that the hotel management does not stop this and does not follow this moment.
There was a pleasant surprise from the hotel at Christmas, when we came to the rooms we found gifts with sweets for children from Santa.
The room was handed over at 12.00. But due to a flight delay due to a sandstorm for 7 hours, the bracelets were not cut off for us and we continued to use the hotel services until the transfer to the airport.
Well, in general, we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel, we can safely recommend this hotel to all our friends, relatives and just acquaintances. And for those who will read this review, go safely, take positive and good mood with you.
P. S. Yes, and do not really stick to the minuses, because we are all not perfect either.

In general, the holiday was great. Settled in an excellent location room, they did not give money. The rooms are clean and spacious. The territory is chic, green, well-groomed. Although our hotel was considered the 2nd line, a 5-minute walk through a beautiful garden, it was absolutely no inconvenience.

If there is an opportunity, I will definitely come to this hotel again, a green paradise in the desert))

We had a large room, we liked it. On the territory - a water park for children. There were shops on and off the premises. Everything is great with food. The beach, let's say, for small children, maybe not, but for adults and older children it's good. The staff is wonderful.

The hotel is more focused on Europeans and the service it has a good and large area. In general, this hotel has many advantages of a beautiful beach, food. There were some nuances in the settlement, but we settled it quickly. The complex includes three hotels and you can use all three, we did not miss all the rest.

We were in July 2019, from 11 to 25. This is my 8th visit to Egypt, there is something to compare with. I want to note right away that this is of course not a hotel problem, but they could put pressure on partners. Host - Flash tour. It is something. The office of snickering, brutalized guides. I have never seen such rudeness in 15 years.

We were in July 2019, from 11 to 25. This is my 8th visit to Egypt, there is something to compare with.
I want to note right away that this is of course not a hotel problem, but they could put pressure on partners. Host - Flash tour. It is something. The office of snickering, brutalized guides. I have never seen such rudeness in 15 years. Even on the way to the hotel, the meeting guide began to beg for a tip, describing how he would ask for us and all that. Nifiga didn't do it, grunted two words at the reception and dumped. The hotel guide is generally a boor and a pig. Came to the meeting to give documents. This "phenomenon" said that it does not accept representatives, go lead the rest, across half the territory. Naughty. I just left. This is not the first time I have been in Egypt to listen to their stories about insurance, excursions and more. Three hotels, three receptions, departure information in only one. These "professionals" do not even bother to bring a piece of paper about the departure to the corresponding hotel. Go look for yourself.
Now about the hotel:
In short - not a bad stable middle peasant, more suitable for families with children 2-12 years old.
Check in:
We arrived very early, at 6 am we were already at the hotel. We pushed around at the reception, in Gardena it is very small, it makes sense to go to Life nearby. An attempt to speed up the check-in for money was unsuccessful, apparently the receptionists on duty do not decide this. But they gave me a card for towels, gave me a drink at the bar. They offered to go to breakfast, but somehow we did not dare. Up to 10 lay around the pool. Then came the "senior" and for a surcharge settled ahead of schedule. They just fell off their feet. Yes, worldwide check-in from 14. There are no questions. But then the "predatory" essence of the hotel begins to implicitly protrude. Even in June, in Paris, we were settled early, free of charge, as soon as the room was free. There were only 11 rooms in the hotel. In Egypt, before, if there are free rooms, they settled without delay. Here - either give money or wait 14. Yes, the Arabs settled even those who arrived at 3 in the morning, I don’t know, maybe they have booked since yesterday, although I doubt it very much.
Number:
They took families. It differs from the suite by 8 m2, but there are double sofas in the living room, we have "undersleep". If the height is from 1.7 m, it will not be very convenient. In addition - in the middle of the bed "canyon" - the junction of the back and seat. In general, the furniture is not the first freshness, but it does not fall apart, you can live. Some spots, some chips. Chipped tiles in the bathroom. Although the room is designed for a family, but only two, two cups, two glasses. Well at least there was an extra pillow and towels added. Cleaning is traditional for Egypt. Don't look under the bed. The guy tried, cleaned quickly. In general, the bellhops are very pleasant in communication, responsive. What is missing - quickly bring.
Air conditioning - there are two of them in the room, but both are noisy, rattling. Even at the lowest speed it is quite audible. Some kind of semi-industrial, crookedly built into the false ceiling. Serviced a long time, the grates are visible dust.
Territory:
Everything here is on a level, green, trimmed, elegant. Constantly someone is doing something, cutting, dyeing, straightening. 3 hotels on the same territory - there is where to walk. One problem - FLY. This is a piper. Something they drive with a smoke machine, something they sprayed, but it will not work to lie quietly by the pool, the sea. Usually the territory is littered with fly traps - I didn’t see any here. Intrusive, as before traders in the market. Very pestered.
Swimming pools, water park:
There were no problems with the place, all the traditional service is present, but something is always missing. Either beer, then cola, then glasses, then the bartender. The lifeguards are very attentive, several people on each pool, not for furniture. Here is a plus. On the hills, too, they are in abundance. In general, the level of security.
In the water park - there is expanse for children. Children's generally excellent, for adults a little weaker. Part of slides for descent on inflatable circles, part on rugs. Just enough, the queues are minimal. But they pick up pretty quickly. The ones on the rugs are not for big people. On several slides there are drops at the junctions - you can earn an injury. In general, do not expose your elbows, legs too much.
Sea:
This was a complete disappointment for me. Shallow water for children - yes, it is convenient, but without slippers it is better not to meddle. There are enough sun loungers, the beach is large, there are two bars. On deep water - sentry. 3 hotels, plus more are brought from the Aqua Park Club, and there is only one pier. The swimming area is not large, it always hangs on the steps, there are a lot of people - getting in and out, especially in flippers - is troublesome. Reef for three. For those who are for the first time - it's interesting, and so - a vertical wall sharply leaving to the depth. Don't expect an underwater garden there. Very windy. Usually a red flag in the morning. We did not find a calm sea. The area is like this. In general, overseas is not here.
Nutrition:
The breakfast is good. The rest - you will not die of hunger, but you are unlikely to eat deliciously. The menu is poor. From seafood - a couple of times squid, if not successful, some kind of mix of fragments of crabs and mussels, fried fish. The grill is a pipets, especially on coals. One side will definitely be burned. Everything is tasteless. The second week is very boring. There are few fruits, in general, they do not indulge in a variety of menus. Pretty modest.
Separately, I want to note the dishes - "Roma, this is a kapets" probably 80% of the plates are chipped. The dishes are poorly washed, especially the glasses. In the "restaurant" of the garden, they do not have time to clean up normally and do not try very hard. Came early in the morning for breakfast - slippers stick to the floor.
Another moment - the last day. It's all a lot of fun here. If you arrive in the morning, lunch and dinner are not allowed. Ok accountants. And when I was on an excursion and did not have lunch - why, such fundamental ones do not return the payment? And what about those who arrive late and depart early, have the "excess" food returned? We missed two dinners, but on the day of departure for a salad, one cutlet and a spoonful of couscous, they ripped off 12 bucks. At the same time, they first announced 15, although the official price is 12. In general, "take care of your pockets. " If it were not for the upcoming 7 hours of the road, I would not have gone at all. And it was better not to twitch and have dinner at the Burger King at the airport. Maybe it would taste better there.
Yes, one more thing - authorized partners offer excursions on the territory. Cheaper than the guide, more expensive than in the city. But bargain, ask different representatives. A banal quadric is offered for 20, then they ask for 15, at the end they bargained for 13. In general, it costs 10, above the average in the city. For a yacht with two dives, they asked for 50, last year this cost 35 through a guide. In general, sleight of hand and no fraud.
Summarize. You can go. With small children, teenagers, it’s quite - they will be interested. Mid-range hotel, not run down but the management is quite greedy. For example, ice cream is only for lunch and is rather mediocre, sometimes there is popcorn in the bar, but you won’t get any chips or nuts for a drink. Wifi - only in the lobby and only when everyone is sleeping or in the dining room. Better not count on him. Some sites, services are blocked

Some spots, some chips. Chipped tiles in the bathroom. Although the room is designed for a family, but only two, two cups, two glasses. Well at least there was an extra pillow and towels added. Cleaning is traditional for Egypt. Don't look under the bed. The guy tried, cleaned quickly. In general, the bellhops are very pleasant in communication, responsive. What is missing - quickly bring.
Air conditioning - there are two of them in the room, but both are noisy, rattling. Even at the lowest speed it is quite audible. Some kind of semi-industrial, crookedly built into the false ceiling. Serviced a long time, the grates are visible dust.
Territory:
Everything here is on a level, green, trimmed, elegant. Constantly someone is doing something, cutting, dyeing, straightening. 3 hotels on the same territory - there is where to walk. One problem - FLY. This is a piper. Something they drive with a smoke machine, something they sprayed, but it will not work to lie quietly by the pool, the sea. Usually the territory is littered with fly traps - I didn’t see any here. Intrusive, as before traders in the market. Very pestered.
Swimming pools, water park:
There were no problems with the place, all the traditional service is present, but something is always missing. Either beer, then cola, then glasses, then the bartender. The lifeguards are very attentive, several people on each pool, not for furniture. Here is a plus. On the hills, too, they are in abundance. In general, the level of security.
In the water park - there is expanse for children. Children's generally excellent, for adults a little weaker. Part of slides for descent on inflatable circles, part on rugs. Just enough, the queues are minimal. But they pick up pretty quickly. The ones on the rugs are not for big people. On several slides there are drops at the junctions - you can earn an injury. In general, do not expose your elbows, legs too much.
Sea:
This was a complete disappointment for me. Shallow water for children - yes, it is convenient, but without slippers it is better not to meddle. There are enough sun loungers, the beach is large, there are two bars. On deep water - sentry. 3 hotels, plus more are brought from the Aqua Park Club, and there is only one pier. The swimming area is not large, it always hangs on the steps, there are a lot of people - getting in and out, especially in flippers - is troublesome. Reef for three. For those who are for the first time - it's interesting, and so - a vertical wall sharply leaving to the depth. Don't expect an underwater garden there. Very windy. Usually a red flag in the morning. We did not find a calm sea. The area is like this. In general, overseas is not here.
Nutrition:
The breakfast is good. The rest - you will not die of hunger, but you are unlikely to eat deliciously. The menu is poor. From seafood - a couple of times squid, if not successful, some kind of mix of fragments of crabs and mussels, fried fish. The grill is a pipets, especially on coals. One side will definitely be burned. Everything is tasteless. The second week is very boring. There are few fruits, in general, they do not indulge in a variety of menus. Pretty modest.
Separately, I want to note the dishes - "Roma, this is a kapets" probably 80% of the plates are chipped. The dishes are poorly washed, especially the glasses. In the "restaurant" of the garden, they do not have time to clean up normally and do not try very hard. Came early in the morning for breakfast - slippers stick to the floor.
Another moment - the last day. It's all a lot of fun here. If you arrive in the morning, lunch and dinner are not allowed. Ok accountants. And when I was on an excursion and did not have lunch - why, such fundamental ones do not return the payment? And what about those who arrive late and depart early, have the "excess" food returned? We missed two dinners, but on the day of departure for a salad, one cutlet and a spoonful of couscous, they ripped off 12 bucks. At the same time, they first announced 15, although the official price is 12. In general, "take care of your pockets. " If it were not for the upcoming 7 hours of the road, I would not have gone at all. And it was better not to twitch and have dinner at the Burger King at the airport. Maybe it would taste better there.
Yes, one more thing - authorized partners offer excursions on the territory. Cheaper than the guide, more expensive than in the city. But bargain, ask different representatives. A banal quadric is offered for 20, then they ask for 15, at the end they bargained for 13. In general, it costs 10, above the average in the city. For a yacht with two dives, they asked for 50, last year this cost 35 through a guide. In general, sleight of hand and no fraud.
Summarize. You can go. With small children, teenagers, it’s quite - they will be interested. Mid-range hotel, not run down but the management is quite greedy. For example, ice cream is only for lunch and is rather mediocre, sometimes there is popcorn in the bar, but you won’t get any chips or nuts for a drink. Wifi - only in the lobby and only when everyone is sleeping or in the dining room. Better not count on him. Some sites, services are blocked

Rested in May, 3 adults and a child The tour was bought for 1050 ye for 7 nights First of all, I want to remind you: be careful with guides (they sell their excursions at a price 3 times more expensive, We had a nasty guide Honey from Joyce Tur-liar and deceiver). Now more about the hotel: Very good: Number: 2-room huge about 60 m2 with a terrace Everything is in the room, everything works and is comfortably thought out.

Rested in May, 3 adults and a child
The tour was bought for 1050 ye for 7 nights
First of all, I want to remind you: be careful with guides (they sell their excursions at a price 3 times more expensive,
We had a nasty guide Honey from Joyce Tur-liar and deceiver).
Now more about the hotel:
Very good:
Number:
2-room huge about 60 m2 with a terrace
Everything is in the room, everything works and is comfortably thought out.
Cleaned daily but not ideal (under the bed, as if kneading, they didn’t wash it - dust)
Territory and sea:
Gorgeous green area, the birds sing
Walk to the sea at a slow pace for about 5 minutes along the beautiful well-groomed territory of the neighboring hotel of the same chain (Charmillion Sea life)
A huge plus is that you can use the territory and infrastructure of all 3 hotels of this chain and they are all nearby
Nutrition:
Tasty but monotonous, we almost always went to Sea Life, 100 meters from our restaurant (you can eat for free in our and in that restaurant)
Animation:
The best we've seen!
During the day, entertainment by the pool, in the evening near the bar, from 20.30 for children, a program for children, and after 21.30 every day a new chic show! Super super!!
Staff pleasant to intrusive
Relax both with children and just a company without children
Conclusion: very good, we recommend!

We rested at the hotel in May 2019. There were not many people. They arrived in the morning. Check-in at 14. For $ 10 settled in a room earlier. Family room class number. Large with two rooms. Large balcony. Average cleaning. The territory is green, constantly taken care of and cleaned. The bar did not always have beer, you had to "hunt" for it.

We rested at the hotel in May 2019. There were not many people. They arrived in the morning. Check-in at 14. For $ 10 settled in a room earlier.
Family room class number. Large with two rooms. Large balcony. Average cleaning.
The territory is green, constantly taken care of and cleaned. The bar did not always have beer, you had to "hunt" for it. Cocktails did not try very hard to do the same.
The hotel is friends with two hotels on the first line. There are better pools and animation. The evening was spent there.
There was a strong wind in the morning. Therefore, we spent the morning in the water park, and in the afternoon we went to the sea. The water park is very good. Responsible staff, there was aqua aerobics.
The food was average, but we didn't go hungry.
Of all the hotels, I liked the Charmillion Club Resort the most. Large and beautiful area. The bar had delicious cocktails and the evening is very beautiful.
The most unpleasant was in del departure. The flight was delayed and instead of early morning departed in the evening. Check-out before 11. Immediately after the delivery of the room, the attitude towards us has changed. Money was demanded at every turn. Nobody gave us lunch. So, if you do not want to stay hungry, take care of it in advance.
In general, not a bad middle class holiday. Corresponds to the price.
The sea is just great! Worth enjoying. )
