We rested before the New Year, but now it's time to leave a review. There are enough pluses and minuses in this place, you just need to prioritize correctly from the very beginning. How often and for how long you can swim in winter is a difficult question, often a lottery, since it is not realistic to predict, for example, the wind. We mostly just sunbathed, I didn’t have much desire to swim, since the water was far from warm, the first days I could still plunge, but then it was not comfortable to do it, because even with a slight breeze it’s disgusting to get out of the water, and if add the absence of a heated pool in the hotel, the picture becomes generally sad. Many have already written about the lack of corals and a small number of fish. We had the first experience of visiting Egypt in winter, of course, we were told that we were told about year-round swimming in the sea, that corals do not live in cold water, but now we have seen everything personally. Now, about the hotel itself. The territory is not very large, rather compact, everything is clean, well-groomed, there is some greenery as for me, the sandy beach is nearby, we always found sunbeds until eight in the morning. The staff in general is not bad, tipping certainly improves the quality of service and German vacationers, for example, willingly use it, our people are not yet very accustomed to this and often complain about the lack of attention, and many have heard tips that they don’t give out of principle. But of course there was no outright rudeness. As for nutrition, it was generally normal, everything corresponds to its stars, you will not remain hungry, although the choice is not very large, but for a normal and healthy person everything is there. I don't see the point in describing the menu, everyone has their own taste and preferences. They said that there are two additional restaurants by appointment, we got into one, but everything is the same there, which is basically the same, only they bring you on a plate, and do not spread it on a buffet. Alcohol is only local, strong drinks are better to take with you, and if you don’t care, then you can still drink in cocktails. So I want to say a few words about the number. Firstly, we really liked it, especially the view from the window to the pool and partly to the sea. Inside, everything worked fine all our rest, the air conditioner was not really turned on, of course the furniture is not new, but in general it will go for four. We went to the city several times, we were on the embankment and at the mosque, we didn’t see other interesting places for ourselves, well, maybe someone else with shops will be interested in Sheraton. In short, our vacation went something like this, in general, not so bad, it turned out to see a lot of interesting things, of course we will return to Egypt, but it will be Sharm in May.
