We were in July 2010. The first thing I want to say about the hotel and that we were incredibly infuriated: King Tut 4 * and Sphinx 5 * have a common territory. That is, to come to the Sphinx for a ticket for $ 200 more is initially stupid. If you choose Sphinx - go to King here, pay 10 dollars at the reception and you will be moved to comfortable Sphinx rooms (as our friends did). The reception at the hotels is general, the lobby bar is open all night (by the way, a specific plus is that alcohol is available all night, and food until one in the morning; however, their local alcohol does not insert at all, they never managed to get tipsy: ) if you want to get drunk-- drink their vodka or what you took in duty free : )). So, the lobby bar is also shared. Or rather, he is at the King Toot Hotel, but the Sphinxes are also forced to go there. In short, only a separately completed building is considered the Sphinx hotel. The rooms are quite comfortable, we have no complaints about them. But there are still some problems with the view from the room. There is active construction going on there, and beginners are initially settled where you will wake up at 7 in the morning from the sound of hard swotting and drilling. Go out on the balcony, look at the Egyptian slaves and take a sip of the dust that is in the air. We had to pay the same $10. at the reception to give a room with a normal view.
So the beach: the beach of the Sphinx - with steps, immediately deep. There is a coral reef at King Tuta Beach and we used to go there all the time. Once again, indignant that we came to one hotel, and use another four-star.
From 3 to 5 days free hookah. About drinks 24 hours I have already said. Food. There are 2 restaurants: King Tut and Sphinx. The furniture in the Sphinx restaurant is worse than in a cheap canteen. Therefore, we often went again to King Tut. Meat is all right, always 4 types to choose from: liver, beef, chicken, fish always. They gave crabs, pigeons. From fruits oranges and grapes, watermelons for dinner. I wanted to eat more fruits, to be honest)) oh, yes, I also had grapes for dinner. Trouble with side dishes, undercooked potatoes. There is a problem with vegetables in general: there are almost no salads, tomatoes, cucumbers lie, but if you want, cut them yourself. There were not enough vegetables.

I photographed a lot, I wanted to post everything, but 2 days before departure, a camera was stolen near the pool))) draw your own conclusions) Almost the entire hotel is Russian, the staff speaks Russian, I didn’t have to use English at all. You can find someone to chat with (almost all Russian speakers), but they also turn out to be unscrupulous. We are sure that one of the tourists stole the fotik. So draw your own conclusions.
The animation was initially zero, but then the owner of the hotel abruptly arrived and everyone danced asshole)) and you have a fakir show, and evening performances.
The pools at the Sphinx are good, but the people of Kingtut also use them calmly)) there is a bar in the pool: you sit chest-deep in water and drink, I love this topic)
