All photos of the hotel are fully consistent with reality: the room in the photo is a standard room. The apartments are really chic, straight glamorous modern)). There is an iron and ironing board, and a kettle, and a magnifying mirror in the bathroom, and even scales. Internet in the room is free. It is worth going there for those who want a relaxing holiday, for energetic people it will be fresh there. The hotel is located quite far from the local mini-centers, it takes about an hour (2 km) on foot, you often don’t run into a taxi. As for Naama Bay, you can only go there by taxi. The territory of the hotel is not very large, there is little greenery, although this is understandable - it was opened only last year. As for animation. . . it is practically non-existent. What they did there is carried out at school with children in extracurricular activities. the hotel is positioned as a five-star hotel, but this, of course, is flattery. Adequate rating to him - four. Not more. It’s too dirty there for five stars (pieces of plaster in the bathroom were both lying around on arrival and safely reached our departure, there is dust on the windows in public areas, the ashtray is changed only if you ask, otherwise, even if it is already falling out of it, they pass by ). The service also became an unpleasant surprise: there is not a restaurant, but rather a dining room - almost complete self-service, the waiters only take away the dishes, and then if they do not sleep standing up at this time. I advise you to come to meals early: if you arrive forty minutes before the end, you risk not finding a place, and not because everything is busy, no, there are almost no people, but the tables are all dirty, and they are not going to clean them. Tablecloths only for dinner, but just like in McDonald's: paper napkins, paper and plastic disposable cups. The coffee served in the restaurant is instant Nescafe. This, to be honest, just killed! Normal coffee can only be obtained at the bar. That is, there will be no coffee in the morning). The food is normal, there is a lot of sweets, there is a choice. It used to be better, of course, but the food is also good here. . Another fact that simply horrified me is the "clogging of seats. " To take a place under an umbrella by the pool or on the beach, you had to get up at 7 am!! ! And it's on vacation! People just throw their things on the sun loungers and leave. At 9 am at the pool, a maximum of 5 people, but not a single free place! It was the same on the beach. For the life of me, I don’t understand this stupid soviet psychology (70% of vacationers are Russian-speaking): why can’t you just come for a swim, dry off and leave? ! Neither to themselves nor to people: busy sun loungers can be empty at all all the time, that is, those who occupied them could change their minds about going to the beach-pool altogether, but it’s not fate to pick up towels. The worst thing is that the hotel management encourages this. Sea. . . it is, of course, wonderful) Like the pools, in principle. There are both indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, 2 children's pools and a great bar in the middle of the pool. The hotel has Guest relations, which greatly simplifies the life of the Slavic brothers, for all questions you can contact the lovely young ladies - they will help. I can’t say that this is a bad hotel, but I expected more from it and from Sharm El Sheikh. Hurghada is my favorite.
