A couple of days back, I decided to share my impressions.
As many have previously written - there can be no talk of any 5 stars - in Sharm it is 3 stars MAXIMUM.
Those. if you paid for the trip as for a 3-star hotel, you will be satisfied . . with almost everything.
The hotel is far from civilization and in this regard:
-taxi from Hurghada costs $10, but leaving the hotel costs 30-40Euro (Eastern math. . )
-there is a bus from the hotel at 15.30, 17.00, 20.30 ($ 10 two ways), but if suddenly there are more than 10 people (or 11 - small Hyundai or Asia minibuses), then you smoke bamboo - no one is going to customize the second bus, but for 40Euro you will be offered to get to the city.
-Internet - only one computer 10 Euro per hour. Wi-fi of the neighboring Serenity is not caught (if it is there at all, which is not a fact)
-Green . . we believe that no - VERY little. Moreover, in Madinat makadi (it's a 10-minute drive), everything is immersed in greenery and even golf courses with artificial reservoirs.
-Animation - we believe that NO - an Italian group of animators exercises on the beach in the heat and a couple of times in 12 days oriental dances performed by the same girl - that's the whole animation for you. All in all it's boring.
-The beach, or rather sand, unlike Sharm, no one sifts, because garbage and pebbles are present (but of course it’s far from Crimea). The descent to the beach is very steep, but there is a bus that lifts up those who have already completely relaxed. The sun loungers and towels on the beach are old and worn, but enough for everyone.
There are shops and a pharmacy on site, 5-10 times more expensive than the same range in Hurghada.
Room service is quite satisfactory. Every day they had to add shampoo, gel and conditioner as they were used, but the gel and conditioner ended after 2 days and then only shampoo. They left the money to the cleaner in the hope that he would twist some animals out of the towels, but they didn’t wait, they stopped paying, nothing really changed. The neighbor of this cleaner treated him with cigarettes and cognac - here he had compositions from towels. During the departure, porters - this is a separate song - came for us in an electric car on which there were no more seats, luggage - took a small suitcase on wheels and drove to the car with difficulty stuffed it into some hole, didn’t tear it, thanks for that, but a backpack at first I wanted to put it on a small suitcase (thereby I would definitely break off the wheels and the handle of the suitcase), as a result, I carried the backpack myself. When loading onto the bus - the same situation with another porter - he also loaded himself. At the same time, baksheesh is waiting on the blue eye.
The kitchen - well, a lot has already been written here - you won’t stay hungry - it seems that there is a choice, but in three days you can count all their menus, the choice of meat, chicken, fish, potatoes, rice, some kind of baked or stewed vegetables. Salads are very amateur. There is only one yogurt. Fruits are watermelon (they will be better in Kiev), melon salad with unripe pomegranate seeds (a dish for strong stomachs), dried dates, often a yellow fruit similar to a pear, I don’t remember the name, a couple of times figs. Grapes - only as a decoration on some kind of pudding or biscuit with cream. Forget about peaches and strawberries. There is always more than enough pastries and bread.
Mineral water in bottles as needed in the main bar from 10-22. Ice cream from 15-17.
Quite a lot of insects and living creatures run around, even though they poison her
We have already written about obsessive masseurs and so on.
As a plus for the hotel, you can add the fact that 98% of the windows of all rooms look at the sea (and the entrance is from the desert side, respectively), so putting money in your passport is absolutely useless.
The sea is the ONLY PLUS OF THIS HOTEL. Sandy descent, corals are already 10 meters from the shore. No wind. No waves. No one will interfere with your descent into the water during a good wave, because it's quiet and smooth. There are a lot of living creatures, you can’t compare with Sharm, but there are also various butterfly fish and moray eels and rays, wrasses, parrots - all this is there. At the exit of their bay I saw a manta and an octopus. Lionfish swim to the very shore every morning to hunt. If you go diving to large reefs, you will not see many new fish, almost everything is there and you don’t have to go anywhere. On the other hand, large coral reefs near Hurghada at a depth of 10 meters make a strong impression.
Excursions - well, this is already a stone against turtes, shopping tours and divorce.
