зима в Шарме winter in Sharm

Vacationing in Egypt for the first time. I would like to share my impressions. The hotel is cozy, small, clean. To begin with, no one at the reception speaks Russian! You need to know at least the basics of English! The room was given immediately, everything works - refrigerator, air conditioner, hair dryer. But there is no hot water in principle - IT IS, BUT A LITTLE HOT (this is their normal state)
They were cleaned daily, they still left 1 pound as payment. I advise you to throw dirty towels on the floor, then they will definitely change them, the bed has never been changed in 10 days. The view from the window was on the alley, very beautiful and most importantly, quiet! The hotel area is small, the pool is large, but the water in it is cold in December. We only had breakfast, but in principle we did not regret it - we took many excursions, and dinner and drinks were included there. We ate in the morning, although my husband was not very pleased what he eats was not enough. In principle, I liked it - a lot of fruits, yogurts, vegetables, olives. muesli, beans, pastries, etc. My husband ate mostly scrambled eggs and fried potatoes. Sausages, sausages are not edible! The restaurant was always clean, there was enough dishes and food for everyone.
You can bring everything you want to the hotel (water, food, etc. , but in a closed bag)

In the evening we went to eat at a restaurant across the road, because. the hotel is expensive. We ate 35-45 bucks to the bone (with alcohol)! I advise you to immediately buy alcohol in duty free (there is in the Old Market, in Naome Bay), there is beer in a shop near the hotel for 2-3 dollar, on the beach - already 4! We also went to the local supermarket (METRO), there are a lot of ready-made meals, sweets and at a very affordable price. Fruit is better to buy at the market - haggle! take a kettle with you = you can always drink coffee in the room.
The beach is paid 2 bucks (but this is the price at the hotel), and at the entrance - 5. Towels, sunbeds - free of charge. The beach is 5-7 minutes walk along an excellent road. The beach is a miracle!! ! This is a great coral reef! The entrance is on an iron pontoon, so it does not move in the wind. The water is clear, the fish just swim in crowds! There is an Italian restaurant on the beach. I advise you to buy a mask and slippers for corrals at the market. It is cheaper there than on the beach and at the hotel.
There is no animation on the beach. The hotel seems to have evenings by the pool with dancing, but we have never seen it in 10 days. In general, it’s good to relax here with children, it’s quiet, they won’t go anywhere, the pool is not deep.
The hotel is located very conveniently - by taxi in 5-10 minutes to the old town with the bazaar, and to Nayami Bay. We walked a lot. In the evening
the city on New Year's Eve was just
fabulous! It is better to take a taxi at the hotel, it is cheaper and the driver will definitely not be under hashish. They drive as they want - they signal, they drive, there are no traffic lights, there are no traffic cops!
We bought excursions near the hotel, called BOBOS. We were very pleased! We were in Israel, and in Palestine (until the war started there), and in Cairo. The guides all speak pure Russian, and everything is much cheaper than the tour operator. We still I liked the trip on the yacht (for 5 tourists, 6 staff). The motorcycle safari didn’t delight me, but my husband liked it. We also took the Albatross water park.
The owner of the agency also made a discount, as for regular customers!
In general, the rest was very pleasant! If you don’t want to lie by the pool all day long, eat all-inclusive, adore the clear sea, snorkel and love outdoor activities, and at the same time it’s also inexpensive, you can safely choose this hotel!
