Three weeks have returned from a holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, the “Club Reef Village” 4 * hotel and only now it's time to write a review (I never wrote reviews before). The tour was selected for a long time - they wanted a quiet relaxing holiday, which we got. Before buying a tour (TUI agency), like all tourists, we read the reviews and they were different, but we liked the photos and decided to take a chance. About everything in order. At the airport in Sharm, we were met by representatives of the Flash tour tour operator. We arrived at the hotel at about 2 pm (the flight was delayed in Kyiv for 6 hours) and we were immediately offered to go for lunch, and then check-in. Although the time for lunch was already ending, the restaurant set the table for us, offered to take food and eat as much as we needed.
The husband asked at the reception for a room where it was quieter, we were asked to wait 10 minutes and were taken to a room near the restaurant on the 2nd floor. For this gratitude - chocolate "Alenka". The room was so-so, I was glad that it was big, only there were 2 towels instead of 3, the third one was brought on the second day. The room has a safe - free of charge. We lived in a 2-storey building with two rooms per floor. Near our house there was a swimming pool and a bar, so you could drink coffee at any time. There are 2 more swimming pools on site - a large one for water games and aqua aerobics. Near those pools there is a bar "Panorama", animation was carried out there. The territory of the hotel is large, well-groomed, a lot of greenery, flowers, bushes trimmed, very beautiful. The road to the sea is also surrounded by bushes. From the room to the beach - 3 min. In the room every day they put 1 liter of water in polyethylene bottles. If there was not enough water, it was possible to fill a bottle in the restaurant, which we did.
The beach is relatively small, but it is separate and there are no strangers here. We came at different times - there were enough sunbeds, so that we did not observe sunbeds in the morning. The same situation was near the pools. Since there are corals near the shore, you can swim only from the pontoon and there is immediately depth. Once, in the afternoon, the tide began to ebb, and on the shore one could observe crabs and corals, sea urchins in minks.

Restaurant. The food in the restaurant was varied: meat, fish, crabs, squid, chicken, duck. Different rice and pasta (many Italians had a rest). Fruits deserve special attention: bananas, melons, dates (almost every day), guava, figs, oranges, pears. Variety of desserts. Cons: chipped dishes and no paper napkins for lunch and dinner.
The animation was carried out in such a way that it did not bother anyone. Animators: 2 girls and 4 guys. They held exercises, yoga, darts competitions, dances, etc. by the large pool. They approached everyone to all their events and invited them. Also for evening performances - at the entrance to the restaurant before dinner, everyone was invited.
The hotel staff are great. We were going on a safari early in the morning and at the reception we were asked why we had not ordered lunch with us. That's the kind of attention.
Wi-Fi in the hotel is free, but it is weak and does not happen day after day. It is better to buy an Egyptian map at the airport and use the Internet. The card costs $10. This is also good for communication, the guide from whom we bought excursions sent us an SMS the day before about the time of departure from the hotel.
Despite all these shortcomings, we simply did not notice them, because we came to rest, and not to participate in the Inspector General program and look for a grain of sand in someone else's eye. We met a lot of good and nice people, and we have the most wonderful memories of our stay in Egypt. If you want a relaxing holiday - this hotel is for you!
