I read the reviews, most of them are either fake or the authors are "children from the golden hole. " In short - a budget hotel, it will "roll" for its money, it does not shine with luxury, it does not offer much, all of the "economy" level.

=== Anex Tour and flight ===
We were told to forget, but on charters in Sharm El Sheikh they no longer feed, the tour operator does not buy sandwiches / hot, so after takeoff you will be offered only water / tea / coffee. 4 hours live as you wish.

On board, only chips / a can of soda / sweets are sold from food. All.

The rest of the flight and transfer to the hotel is normal, with the exception of the return trip to the airport. Only on the bus did they find out that a prerequisite for departure is wrapping luggage in film, the machine of which does not work at the airport. But they offer to use this machine at the last hotel along the way, for $ 5. Take a roll of cling film with you.

=== Settlement ===

Check-in went smoothly as usual. They didn't demand anything.
For the unique ones, there is even a price list for upgrading a room from Standard to Pool View, Sea View. So that there are no questions when you poke $ 10 and demand a room by the sea. Each type of room has its own price.

No one was rude, everyone was friendly. Apparently there is education on both sides.

=== Number ===
This is where the economy comes in. You can get a great number, or maybe an average one. We got a room with a good bed, furniture. The bathroom is not very good, there was no plug in the washbasin, the toilet somehow staggered strangely. Everything else is great for the money.

I saw a cockroach once and killed it. Apparently it's better not to open the balcony at night, any muck can climb in.

Cleaning could be better, they often forget to put toilet paper. The water was changed only once. Cleaning every day.

=== Territory ===
Ordinary, nothing outstanding. Outside the basin territory, i. e. behind the buildings, they do not look very well and rarely clean up. But the territory of the pool / reception is cleaned well, everything is green and beautiful.
=== Beach ===
I say right away that the pontoon was restored. There is a descent into the sea (stairs with railings on the sides) with nice corals and a cool cliff. Initially, the pontoon was destroyed in December 2015, by a storm, and not 5 years ago, as they say here on the forum. Nearby there is a fragment of an old pontoon, there are beautiful fish, it even gives a certain charm to this place.

Windy, high/low tide. Guys, this is Nabq. For calm seas/short pontoons, there are Hadaba and Naama Bay. Do not be too lazy to open Google Maps and see from space where what coral and pontoon.

The beach itself is not maintained due to lack of people. One gets the impression that he is generally on his own, although there is our bar.

On the beach, near the pontoon, there is Mohammed's shop, I advise you to visit, the kindest and cheerful person. Dasha the turtle "drives" around his room))

=== Nutrition ===

Typical for an economy hotel.
A standard set of products, the lack of good fruits, seafood (Egyptian fish does not count).

Breakfast:
- Omelet with a mix of vegetables/meat.
- Kashi, falafel.
- Pancakes with sugar syrup/jam
- Buns are sweet and not very.
- Vegetables, salads.
- Salad of apples, melons. Dates.
- Yogurt, cereal.

Dinner:
- Rice, potatoes, pasta with sauce, grilled vegetables.
- Soup.
- Roast beef/potatoes.
- Usually 3 types of meat. Beef, chicken, fish. Rarely less than 3 species.
- Sweets, apple salad, melons. Dates.

Dinner:
- Rice, potatoes, pasta with sauce, grilled vegetables
- Roast beef/potatoes.
- Beans/peas in sauce with meat.
- Soup
- Usually 3 types of meat. Beef, chicken, fish. Rarely less than 3 species. Basically a grill.
- Sweets, apple salad, melons. Dates.

I didn't see juice. Pleased with the presence of cola / fanta / sprite in bottles, it used to be Jupi. Yupi juices are present in the mixers. Burgers and fries are served by the pool during the day. Bartenders in bars are funny and hilarious : )
As you understand, the food is the same as in any budget hotel. If you want some variety - choose something like Hilton Waterfalls. Not much more expensive but the service is already there.

=== Animation ===
Due to the Russian ban, the level of animation / life in the hotel has long fallen due to the large accumulation of Arabs and the fall in salaries, but the animation is Russian-English. Animators from Ukraine/Belarus. Andrei is a cheerful boy from Belarus who will not let you get bored on vacation. Our sometimes manage to yell in karaoke in front of the Arabs)

=== Summary ===
If you do not have high self-esteem, do not have royal manners, requirements and habits, and you are an ordinary person, you can go if the budget is not so hot. There is no redneck management/bartenders/waiters here as some describe. Perhaps if you are rude, then you will be answered, mirrored.


If the sea and the beach are important to you, I advise you to pay attention to Hilton Waterfalls and hotels in the Hadaba / Naama Bay area.
Upon arrival, I strongly advise you to have time to take a Vodafone SIM card at the exit of the airport with a 3.5GB Internet package, without voice communication. A nice addition to the rest : ) Goods/excursions at the hotel, as usual, with not very pleasant prices.
