We returned from Egypt on 09/07/2011. We rested at the Albatros Aqua Blu Sharm 4 * hotel with our daughter and grandson for 12 days. The holiday was unforgettable! I want to say that this is not my first time in Egypt. I will try to tell everything in order. We arrived in Sharm at 5 o'clock in the morning, everything went quickly at the airport, we took visas "Sinai" because. we were not going to go anywhere from Sinai (we had a 4-year-old child with us). Upon arrival at the hotel, we were settled without any payment in 30-40 minutes, a room in the main building on the second floor 1256. The tour operator was Tez Tour. In the evening there was a meeting with the guide. To my surprise, this time Tez Tour was on top. The guide Mohammed was courtesy itself, very attentive and courteous. We bought three excursions from him: on a yacht to the reserve, for our daughter to quad bikes and to the dolphinarium, and so he just gave us an excursion to the dolphinarium! And then we bought an excursion to the crocodile show. We enjoyed all excursions very much. Well, now in order:
Number. Cleaned daily, clean. Nothing was missing in the room. All appliances in the room worked properly. The balcony overlooked the Volna pool, where music was loud from 10 am to 6 pm, but this did not bother us at all, because. we were in the room only at night (there was complete silence at night) and during the day from 13 to 15 when the baby was sleeping. When the door to the balcony was closed, the music did not disturb the baby. From 4 in the morning, the muezzin starts singing in the mosque, this annoys many, but I don’t pay attention to it, because I came to a Muslim country and this is their way of life. For whom it is stressful, I suggest buying earplugs.
Hotel. The hotel area is large, beautiful and clean, there is where to walk, lie down and where to take pictures. The hotel staff is very attentive and friendly. There is a canal on the territory, through which in the evening you can ride a gondola from the main restaurant to the reception for free. Outside the hotel there are many bars where you can sit, drink beer, smoke hookah, there are shops. The Old Market is 5 minutes by taxi ($2). To "Fantasy" (1001 nights) 5-7 minutes on foot. The public in the hotel is the most diverse. There are few Russians, 10 percent, including Ukrainians and Belarusians. The rest of the contingent is: Germans, Poles, Romanians, Dutch, French, Italians, British (in ascending order) and Arabs with Jews from Israel.

Gorki. On the territory there are 4 complexes of slides for adults and 2 complexes of slides for children. All pools are marked with depth. On all slides and in all pools, lifeguards work, who not only watch the skiers, but also provide the first honey. help. On the children's slides, lifeguards play with the children and teach them how to ride the slides.
Children. The attitude of the hotel to children is just super! On the territory there is a Children's Club where you can take your child from 10 am to 12-30 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm and calmly ride the slides or walk around the hotel. Two Ukrainian girls and one Georgian girl work in the Children's Club, where they draw, play and walk with the children.
Restaurants. There are 4 restaurants on site: main, Asian, African, Italian. You can eat anywhere. Feeding starts at 6 am and ends at 12 midnight (late dinner). No one monitors your visits to restaurants, where and how many times you went to eat. In the restaurant you can get water in a bottle from the cooler, you can take fruits and pastries with you. The food was very good, a lot of vegetables, meat, fish, crabs, mussels, pizza, shawarma, a huge amount of fruits: apples, melons, grapes, pears, oranges, grapefruits, pomegranates, dates, figs, lime, guava, bananas. The hotel has a lot of bars where you can drink juices ("yuppies"), cola, sprite, beer, tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks all day long and even eat buns, cakes and drink a milkshake in the cafe at the reception. The only negative is the concentrated juices "yuppies".
Animation. In the pool "wave" weak aqua aerobics twice a day. In the evening for children on the big screen 30 minutes of cartoons, then a concert. In the bar of the main building every other day live music. I don't know anymore because I didn't go anywhere else.

Beach. The beach, which is located on the territory of the Beach Albatros hotel, is 7-10 minutes on foot, but you can take a bus from the reception (runs every 30 minutes). The most super thing on the beach is the elevator, and that's it. The beach is disgusting, dirty, the sunbeds are old, the bar of our hotel is one and is very uncomfortable. There are only two places where you can rinse with fresh water after the sea, and these places are constantly clogged with sand, there is water that no one removes. There are no taps for washing feet, and when you go back to your hotel, you rub your feet with flip flops. We preferred to go to the wild beach, it's across the road in 5 minutes walk.
Sea. Swim in slippers. The sea is not very rich in fish. In general, not impressed....
Summing up my report, I want to say that I really liked the stay at the hotel, we definitely want to return there again!
