The hotel was recommended to me by TurPravda, since I had not been to Sharm el-Sheikh until this year and had no idea at all what and how it is geographically located there. I'll try to paint everything in the same detail and detail as experienced packagers do.
Location. The hotel is very close to the airport, literally 10-15 minutes drive, and this is a positive thing. I don’t know whether to consider the territory of the hotel large or not, but it’s realistic to get minimal physical activity, in the morning someone even managed to jog around the territory. The territory of Sensatori merges with the neighboring Baron, it is convenient that there are no fences and obstacles.
Security. This is a death. At the entrance to Coral Sea, the car will be closely examined and walked around with some kind of detector, the passenger will be asked for a room number. And through the Baron (service entrance) go whoever you want, carry whatever you want, there is no protection. I did not see lifeguards on the beach, perhaps they are. The guard on the pontoon guards the corals - whistling furiously at those who swam behind the buoys. But, sorry, no one hears these whistles with their faces in the water and does not bother. Twice in four I was stung by a jellyfish))). Just the height of bad luck. One time it hurt a lot. And at the same time, neither in the first-aid post, nor in the pharmacy on the territory, there is NO this damn ointment for jellyfish burns. I had to save myself with analgesics.
Room and cleaning. There are no questions at all here - everything is always clean, linen and towels were changed regularly, the cleaner was just a bunny and, thank God, he practically did not twist swans from towels and scattered petals on the bed only once. The room is perfectly equipped, hair dryer, slippers, bathrobes, even an ironing board with an iron, for which I always give the hotel an extra plus in karma.
Beach. You can go from the shore on stone slabs (a little slippery, but what to do, but not fatal) or go along the pontoon to a place where everyone snorkels (by the way, I liked corals and fish, but I'm not a great diver, there is practically nothing to compare with ). The beach is like a beach, perhaps the sunbeds are too close to each other, but you can always ask to drag your sunbed away from the crowd. Finally, in 15 years of my tourist experience, I saw this phenomenon - how from 6 in the morning people occupy sunbeds for the whole day, although in reality they are not on the beach for more than half the time. A special battle was for the so-called "first line" of sunbeds, here even a couple of fathers of families quarreled in earnest, but, thank God, it did not come to a fight. All these “lines” are up to a lilac star for me, I love peace and quiet, so I most often chose a sunbed by the pool, and when I want to swim, it’s not difficult for me to walk 20 meters to the sea. My calmness was only occasionally disturbed by animators passing by and shouting in a bad voice "aqua aerobics" or "foam party". Collective farm, but this is Egypt, baby, here, in principle, noisy.
Nutrition. So we got to the weakest side of the hotel. Thank God I only had breakfast. Once I tried to dine in a general restaurant - it's trash, I do not recommend it. The food in the general restaurant is edible, but tasteless, without a soul, you won’t get much pleasure. But this is a common problem in Egypt, for two weeks I came across delicious food only once in an old restaurant in Cairo. They killed vending machines with instant juices and instant coffee. ))) There are no freshly squeezed or even packaged juices. Natural coffee at breakfast is poured by waiters from coffee pots, but you have to approach them or wave, that is, extra gestures. Why not put these unfortunate coffee pots in the public domain? No matter what time I had breakfast, even at 6 in the morning (before the excursion to the monastery), there was still a feeling of an anthill. There are a lot of people, everyone is fussing around, there was no that relaxed morning atmosphere like in Luxor, Alexandria or Cairo. And it's even worse at dinner.
There are, of course, a la carte restaurants; there are as many as five of them on the territory. But they must be booked a day in advance, and in fact there is no a la carte there, you can’t choose anything from the menu, because only ready-made sets are served. Therefore, to eat in the evening I had to go to the city or to a quarter called Soho. Only one restaurant of Lebanese cuisine fed the menu without pre-order, for which he is honored and praised.
In general, I can not say that I did not like the hotel, it would not be true. The hotel is good, but as it usually happens, it is spoiled by the all inclusive system. The hotel definitely deserves a solid four on a five-point scale!
