We stayed at this hotel a week ago. The vouchers were bought last-minute, but the reviews were read, in principle everything was fine, we started to be positive and flew))
We arrived at 16.00, it took about 20 minutes to get to the hotel, we stopped at only 2 hotels on the way, we were dropped off last. The hotel, of course, is not young, BUT clean, cozy and all in greenery and flowers! This is the main drawback in my opinion - mosquitoes !! ! Take a fumigator, we were going in a hurry and forgot ((At first we were settled in a room on the 3rd floor 2323, and there was a gap near the balcony door - we slept covered with a blanket over our heads for the night)) Complained, poisoned mosquitoes with a spray - zero sense... changed the room is closer to the reception ( 636), there, in my opinion, the nearest bushes, the grass is being processed. therefore, no mosquitoes were observed for the remaining 11 days))
The room is good, big, everything worked, 2 channels in Russian. We always had hot water, and on the beach I heard people from other buildings complain that the water was a little warm.

The food is good) I won’t say that it’s really diverse, but it’s decent. Breakfast really didn’t please me for a couple of days - scrambled eggs and beans)) we don’t eat rolls... But lunches and dinners are very decent)) fish every day, chicken or meat every day, there were dates, oranges, grapefruits, melons from fruits. You can’t take out food like from a restaurant, but we took fruits from breakfast and lunch to the beach)) Drinks around the clock in all bars, on the beach from 10 to 16. Plastic cups))) There are water coolers in the buildings - both cold and hot , it is necessary- scored in a bottle. At the lobby bar there is an apparatus with an ice yuppie) At the pool bar - sooo delicious hot chocolate)) At the water park, only beer and cola from drinks) In short, plus 3 kg in 2 weeks !!!!!
The beach is quite big. There is a lagoon with sand, there is a pontoon for corals. The water in the lagoon is colder than in the sea) There are fish, to see live multi-colored corals and all kinds of living creatures, you have to swim to the reef opposite the pontoon) In fins and a mask, it’s time to spit)) Even despite the waves and the constantly red flag because of the wind- it’s not difficult to swim) BUT the transparency of the water is excellent only up to 12 o’clock somewhere, then blue haze, you can’t see anything, consider this, although it can only be so in December and with wind... In Sharm, we didn’t observe this at any time and in any weather)
There are plenty of sunbeds, fences from the wind too)
Animation on the beach is beyond praise - at 10 it starts and until one o'clock somewhere) Mini-disco, aerobics, step dances, belly dance - so every day)) Evening program every evening too. Mini disco for about an hour, then for adults - Mr. Hotel, fakirs, dancing in national costumes)) So sometimes you can watch))
The water park is small, but you can ride there a couple of times) The slides are normal - the backs and panties are whole! The water in the pool was warm. , in the nursery even warmer))
The entire hotel staff speaks Russian. Separately, about Wi-Fi... This is the second minus. Free Wi-Fi was 9 days, only early in the morning - at 6 o'clock) In the afternoon and in the evening it was not real to catch him !!!! ! since it is designed only for 15-20 people, so people sat for hours in the lobby to go to the Internet) But it was not a problem for us to go to the reception at 6 (at home it was just 11 in the morning). There is NO Internet in the rooms)) On December 23, there was a mass check-in at the hotel - it suddenly ended for free - like a problem somewhere... There is a fee-5 bucks for half an hour)) I think there is no free vyfaya at all in the high season))

Excursions were bought at the agency opposite the hotel) Exactly 2 times cheaper than Biblioglobus! We went to Luxor and on a boat trip - everything is fine! The guides spoke excellent Russian, in general we went to Luxor in a group of 6 people)) I advise)
There is nowhere to walk near the hotel in the evening. We went a couple of times to Senso-mei with a colored fountain and McDonalds, it’s somehow not very good to walk along the malls, since in Egypt 5 times and there’s nothing to buy for souvenirs)) We entertained ourselves by going in the evenings as a tour of the neighboring fives)) Now we will know where to go, if anything))
I would especially like to say about the tour operator - Biblioglobus) I liked it very much - everything was on schedule - departure, arrival) And the day was not lost there, and back - we swam until half past twelve, quickly washed ourselves, checked out the room, drank coffee with whiskey in the lobby (no one cut off the bracelets in 12), at 12.30 bus! The beauty! And then Pegasus forever - there later, back - early)))
Yes . . the weather))) This is a separate issue)) This December it was WINTER in Egypt)) We flew in, outside, plus 12)) It snowed in Cairo... in the evening we put on a jacket, jeans, we sit in a bar, we think where flew in? ) And in the morning the sun came out - hot! ! but windy! In short, tan is even better than always)
In general, the rest left a lot of positive emotions))
