I can subscribe to every word in tatiana19's review. 64. We rested with my family at the hotel from 24.10. 16 to 30.10. 16. Fatma2050 often writes comments on reviews here - this is the Anex Tour guide, he liked to use the word "collective farmer" when we were at the hotel. We also changed the room upon check-in, probably everyone goes through this procedure and this smelly room with non-working air conditioning, shower and toilet, they didn’t give money, they just came with things to the reception and waited for a new room to be given. As a result, they gave the room a clean, more or less normal, but the air conditioner still worked like a regular fan. Because of this, I strongly do not recommend going to this hotel in the SUMMER, suffer the whole holiday in the heat! I also want to add that drinking water is not freely available either on the beach or by the pool, but is poured into disposable glasses of 100 gr. For me, a man (100 kg of weight), when I swim for 1-2 hours with a mask and snorkel in a terribly salty sea, these 100 grams of water are just laughter, but I can’t stand begging for anything, as a result, we started taking water to the beach with rooms, again I emphasize that in the summer you will not have enough water from the room and on the beach it will turn into boiling water in 15 minutes! Don’t count too much on beer either, it is also poured in 100 grams, and if you come up a second time, you are delicately “rejected” - they say that it is no longer there! True, the beer is good, bottled. We were in Egypt for the 5th time (Royal Albatros Moderna 5*, Titanic Aqua Park Resort 4*, Hauza Beach Resort 5*, Xperience Kiroseiz Parkland 5*) and in Turkey 2 times in 5* and 4*, but such redneck as they did not meet in Grand Oasis. As for what Fatima says in his comments that the hotel is all inclusive, this is nonsense, even in the very essence of feeding, it is considered poor FB (full board - three meals a day), let's first study the categories of food. And I can also add that if you don’t come, for example, for dinner, at the beginning of dinner at 19:00-19:30, then you risk remaining hungry or you will have to fill your stomach with bread with the remnants of coleslaw, not the first freshness. But in principle, we did not go there to eat, but to the sea! So the sea there is really - SUPER! A lot of different types of fish, there are very large ones! We saw two Moray eels, a Stingray, a Napoleon, a Puffer, a huge Pseudobalicht, a huge Trigger, a lot of Lionfish (they live under the pier), etc. A very beautiful coral garden and very cool reefs! It's great that there is practically no current and there is no storm, this is a rarity in Sharm! The pier is bad, very unstable! I saw how several people fell heavily on it, one girl, in my opinion, even broke her leg (or a very strong bruise), you need to be careful (it’s better not to rush). Every day, right from the beach from the sun loungers, we watched the sunset, right before our eyes, it "falls" behind the mountains! The spectacle is great! There is a small lagoon for bathing children and for those who like to paddle near the shore. In general, the sea smoothed out all the shortcomings of the hotel! For the sake of the sea, we would return to this hotel again! But only in autumn October-November The territory of the hotel is clean, well-groomed, beautiful! Everything is very conveniently located. Swimming in the pool once. In principle, it was clean, did not smell of bleach. Internet - is at the reception, but it would be better if it was not there, just a waste of time (speed - zero). We caught wifi on the balcony of the room (1262) from a neighboring hotel. The speed is also not very good, but better than at the reception, on viber and read the news was enough. We went to Soho Square, where the wifi is excellent and free, it is best to catch near the elevator. The TV is old, but we didn't watch it. In Sharm itself, there are very few people. There are practically no Russians, Englishmen and Germans! Because of this, everything "dies", supermarkets, shop centers, hotels are closed. The airport is empty. But be prepared that the registration procedure and all inspections (there are three of them) will take 1.5-2 hours. Therefore, do not risk taking a taxi an hour before departure, and if this happens, then immediately go to VIP registration for $ 20, you will definitely be offered it, otherwise you will be late for the plane. The guides at the hotel are really very annoying and annoying, do not believe a single word they say, especially about the fact that you can’t go anywhere yourself. In the evening we went several times by minibus (2 local pounds each) to Naama Bay to take a walk and skimp at the Carrefour supermarket. There fixed prices are some of the cheapest in Sharm. Everything is sold in local pounds. The mango cost us 12 pounds ($0.8). For comparison, in Soho for $ 2-3. I did not buy souvenirs, I have enough of them. I recommend diving on the beach, it costs only $ 10, but the guys are professionals, they know their business, they will teach any beginner! There will be many new experiences, especially for those who have not dived before!
