So, the hotel is now called BARCELO Tiran Sharm, new tenant owners. I haven't been in it before. In a new incarnation, the hotel opened on 08.11. 2014, so some of the shortcomings can be attributed to "childhood illnesses". Vouchers are now sold only by Tez-Tour, so it is filled with Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians. Of the foreigners, a couple of Englishmen and four Germans who arrived on their own were seen. This is what they "hit"! : -))) In the voucher, the room type is written "Sea View", it turns out that there is also Sea Side and Front Sea View. The rooms of the last type look directly at the sea. My windows overlooked the pool, but if you stand at the window and jump up, you can see a little of the bay's water. : -) The rooms are good, not killed, everything works. Cleaned daily, one day the dollar did not put, still removed, and with the same quality. There are "glitches" with electronic key cards, sometimes people have to go "reflash". All rooms have fumigators, although there were not many mosquitoes. The length of the beach is 200 meters, 20 of which are a sandy entrance to the sea, the rest is a coral shallow, you cannot pass through it. Near the entrance to the sea, all places are occupied until 6 am. There are no buoys, you can swim wherever you want. There is nothing to see near the shore, to corals and fish (there were few of them) you need to swim at least 50 meters. The farther, the more interesting. The territory of the hotel is small, especially not clear up. There is little greenery, almost nothing blooming. The food is ambiguous: most often there are no vegetables for breakfast (cucumbers and lettuce leaves, for example), “valuable” fruits (figs, persimmons, pomegranates) are sometimes taken out in small quantities and immediately sorted out. Oranges-grapefruits, grassy in color and taste of melons have always been. Dates almost always. The quality of the dishes is very different, some were thrown away only after trying, and some were very tasty. The bars have juices in packages, they make different cocktails, often dirty glasses in all bars and in the restaurant, only everything is clean in the bar at the reception. Alcohol is "locally produced", I think everyone understands that you can drink it, but it tastes good. . . But the Schweppes tonic in small glass bottles was soldered to them, sometimes with the addition of gin. The staff is good, well-trained, roofing felts not yet spoiled. Everyone everywhere is attentive and friendly, they were not noticed in the "extortion" of money. I liked the animation, participated in active entertainment every day, time flies unnoticed. There is a free rental of board games: cards, backgammon, etc. Wi-Fi is available at the reception, slow but tolerable; True, a couple of days did not work at all. But in the rooms you can connect to the wired Internet, it worked constantly and quite quickly.
