Приехали во второй раз и не пожалели! We came for the second time and did not regret it!

Were in Tropitel 2 years ago very much. And in connection with the well-known events, they again got only after 2 years (they got on the bed-posts). In principle, getting there is nothing complicated. We flew through Istanbul to Sharm, contacted a guy named Tamer in Vkontakte. Easy to find in a search engine, organized a taxi without any problems for 30 US rubles, it used to be 25, the price has risen. Although from Dahab - 25. Payment after the fact. Officials have a minimum of 2 times more expensive and prepaid. The hotels were greeted very cordially, it should be noted that the staff began to speak Russian much better, and they are constantly working on these. According to masseur Yaser (a great guy, speaks Russian tolerably, ready to help in any matter), the entire staff was almost completely replaced in the hotel, it seemed to me that these guys are much more diligent, friendly, etc. , although I have special complaints about the past was not, except that the bartender was a little arrogant, and then, not in relation to me. Now everyone is trying to help, to say something pleasant, the feeling that it is from the heart! The rooms, they wrote a lot about this, once they probably looked very luxurious, now they are a little outdated both morally and physically, but I’ll say right away that it’s not critical, everything works. This is generally for Dahab, I think the best hotel. Firstly, it is very conveniently located (near the Laguna, Blue Hall, Canyon and other attractions, there is a free shuttle to Dahab all the time. The hotel is small, very cozy, literally immediately they begin to recognize you, greet you, communicate. Population - 70 -75 percent Arabs with wives and children. Do not faint, I swear, these are not the same slaves that they were 3-4 years ago. At least they behaved very decently in Tropitel, many begin to swim, they practically do not make noise. But thanks to the fact that hotels are for them cheaper (probably subsidized by the state), managed to preserve the infrastructure. Otherwise, there would be a complete paragraph of the tourism industry in Egypt after the cessation of flights from Russia. And so the industry is slowly recovering! Another 15 percent are Germans, or married couples, or divers. Everything is clear with these. The English are gone. The rest are Russian-speaking, also mostly either couples looking for secluded rest and relaxation, or divers. There was no alcohol, no tagil. In general, the population of the hotel pleased. Restaurant: I don't know why the hotel is three stars. Yes, the restaurant is small, but the choice is relatively modest, but sorry, everything is VERY tasty (thanks to the chefs), high in calories. All products are fresh, nothing frivolous, behind the seeming modesty, I personally saw the great work of the employees. Tables must have at least 2 forks and knives. The waiters immediately clean the dishes, they offer drinks all the time. Well, what else do you need, gentlemen of criticism? ! I am very pleased with the restaurant, and everything else. We have been in 4 and 5 stars. Yes, the assortment is larger, but the dishes are often winded, stale, and simply not tasty! Often inattention, and sometimes rudeness of the staff. It doesn't exist here! As for cleaning. My wife read somewhere that Arabs love Russian chocolate, like Alenka. I brought with me a dozen and a half tiles, they cost around $ 1. Listen, I didn't expect. If you left a chocolate bar for the cleaner, he didn’t know what else to think of, from towels and snakes, and turtles, and elephants! Around the petals of flowers, dragged a bunch of shampoos and creams! It was very nice, although in principle a trifle! As for the sea and the beach - a lot has been written, I do not want to repeat. The main advantage - swim wherever you want. We swam 3 times a day, two before and one after dinner for 45-50 minutes. We swam to either side for half a kilometer, then back. The beauty! The reefs are beautiful, there are living creatures. Everyone says that there is more in Marsa Alam. I agree, but it takes 4 hours to get there from Hurghada, and here from Sharm a little more than an hour. In general, who wants not animation, parties and a sandy entry into the sea, I think you will like it! If you have any questions, you can write to the mail, I will answer (shavlovss@yandex. ru).
