When choosing a trip and hotels, the reviews of the people who left them helped a lot. I promised myself that I would also write a review after the rest.
Never been to Egypt. I read reviews about 5 and 4 hotels. Lots of negativity. And then there are reviews about 3k. Badavia Hotel. Very decent reviews and lots of details and information about the hotel. Yes, and the price was a burning tour and all inclusive.
The main thing for me is not to cook and the sea.
Therefore, the choice fell on this one. hotel.
We flew from Kyiv to Sharm El Sheikh (flight 3 hours 50 minutes). At the airport, they filled out a form with their data for free. A representative of Tour Operator Join App met us and free transfer to the hotel (25 minutes) in an air-conditioned bus.
In the hotel after 10 minutes we were taken to our rooms. I was with my husband and another woman flew in with us).

The number was not cleared. The floor is dirty, dust and the most unpleasant thing is not changing the bed. I went to reception.
After explaining these nuances, they gave me one beach towel, apologized and said everything would be fine tomorrow.
Terribly unpleasant, but the strength to swear and move somewhere else was simply not there. The husband collapsed to sleep dressed. I also washed in the shower and lay down on the beach towel dressed.
This is the most negative memory of the hotel.
But the room has air conditioning, comfortable beds (good mattresses), a refrigerator, a mirror, a wardrobe with shelves and more than one. Armchairs, chairs, table.
Toilet and shower cubicle are combined. Boler. Always cold and hot water. True, we have a baller. leaked. But we didn't make a tragedy out of it. Apply for reception. Naturally, no one corrected it until the end of our holiday. We turned off the boler. And when it was necessary to wash, they turned on for a short time.
Said came to us the next morning. Changed beds. Cleaning. Left toilet paper and shampoo samples.
He said all questions about cleanliness - to him.
I wiped the floors and took out the garbage every other day (usually asked every day, do you clean it? )
I want to write right away that the local people love Ukrainian chocolate. In order not to tip in dollars, buy chocolate and please the attendants! )))
There was no internet in the hotel. We went to a Vodofon store nearby.
How to go there? Ask where is McDonald's? you will be shown where to go. And bought a SIM card with mobile internet. 4000 mv. for 148 pounds. It's about $8.5. For 8 days of rest, taking into account that 2 phones were used from one SIM card, they used 2000 mv
Take in local currency. Therefore, the guard took us to the ATM and there we changed the amount we needed.
Change money at vending machines. There the course is better (17
80 pounds for 1 $.
Local change at the rate of 17 f per. 1 $.
And it is more profitable to pay everywhere in pounds.
Here even in shops are traded. So do not be shy, bargain everywhere))).
Do not book tour operator join-up tours. Expensive!!!

You can on the beach, We personally booked in the plaza, opposite the ancient theater with columns (on the recommendation in the reviews, and did not regret it).
Excursion to climb Mount Senai at Join App costs $35 per person, at the Plaza $20. The difference is significant.
Very much praise the excursion on the paraboat.
WATER at the hotel for free in the dining room where they eat. In any quantity.
Meals - all inclusive.
Breakfast lunch dinner.
Pretty much the same diet every day.
But there is a choice. For example in the morning:
baked potatoes, rice (two kinds), pasta, baked eggplant, pumpkin, carrots, cabbage. Beans with gravy a couple of types.
Cottage cheese, cheese slices, scrambled eggs, sausage (I didn’t like it).
Salads, pickles, canned peppers - fire!! ! ))
Gooseberry jam and pear and strawberry jam were given. Drink - tea, coffee, milk (diluted))), orange drink - also diluted)).
You can always choose your diet.
So that everyone has enough food, cooks: scrambled eggs, meatballs, fish, meatballs give a fixed amount.
Napkins were given by the piece and only on request.
Bar near the pool. Works from 10.00 to 22.00
Free of charge their local alcohol and coffee, tea, coca cola, sprite, orange drink and water.
There has always been tension with alcohol, but I didn’t care, I don’t drink and I don’t advise others.
I loved the coffee in the bar!!
Arabs have a lot of rest. Women in burqa. And bathe dressed. Therefore, I don’t really want to swim in the pool at the hotel after them. And therefore our girls are the most beautiful and they get a lot of attention. It does not interfere with rest. Do not pay attention and be rude.
A free bus takes you to the beach at 9.30 and back at 14.00.
The beach from the hotel without fish and corals. But clean. Water already. hot, clear. Chaise longues are free.
On a paid beach, entrance from $ 3. We. went to the Reef. scourge. $3 includes a 0.5 bottle of water. Ask, otherwise they won't give you water.
There and the sea and fish and corals.
Taxi at every turn. All the time they call to let me down. But we enjoyed walking. Everything is not far.

If you want to buy something, go or take a taxi to the Old Town. Everything is cheaper there.
The hotel does not provide fruit. You can buy them. But they. expensive. And it is better to try their local fruits. The rest is better to buy in Ukraine. Cheaper and tastier.
And yet, do not sit on camels when you are offered to take a picture for free. It costs money. Ask for a price right away. With us, a young couple was bred for $ 8.
The weather was in early October. 38 degrees. Around 25 at night.
The rooms are cool with air conditioning. The sea is also very nice. I have always been in the shade or at sea. And that's it. burnt out anyway. )
I liked the rest. Surprisingly, I would go to this hotel again))).
