Decent hotel with some tolerable shortcomings.
There were two adults and a child.
Settlement.
Check-in was late (around 22:15). Russian-speaking tourists were settled at this time by several families at once. The room was given quickly and without hints of surcharges and improvement in accommodation. We received a standard room 1245 - a room on the 2nd floor with almost the maximum distance from the sea. I am attaching the map in the photo. We heard from others that everyone from the former CIS is settled somehow (I don’t know for one hundred percent, I just brought the rumors to your attention).
For some reason, when we checked in, we were not brought to the room, they showed us the direction to the floor of the road and said something like everything is clear there. It turned out that in the dark, not everything is clear, the number was not found within 5 minutes. Not only the number was not found, but the building was not the same. They asked the worker at the pool to help, but after two attempts he didn’t guess the body either. We returned to the reception at the concierge service, explained the problem, their boss had already gone to sleep.
Surprisingly, he did not guess the same corps on the first attempt, but the second attempt was successful.
An extra bed for a child was organized quite quickly on call. Rollaway bed but good.
Evening feeding on that day seemed to be extended until one in the morning due to the late check-in of a bunch of people at once, for which thanks to the hotel.
Number.
Number 1245 standard. Distance from the sea is almost maximum. The room is not new. For some reason, there is not a single picture, even above the bed, the first time I see this in fives. The door didn't close well, fixed it in the morning. All plumbing, electrical and air conditioning worked flawlessly. Gave 2 room keys and 3 towel cards.
Rooms are cleaned daily, bed linen is changed on a case-by-case basis. Stocks of shampoos and gel replenish. Towels are changed.
Infrastructure.
The residents of the Front Hotel also have access to the entire territory of the Sport Hotel and vice versa, with the exception, it seems, of dinners in the main restaurants of neighboring hotels. Beach in Front, slides in Sport, pools in both. The slides are worth a visit, but read their opening hours (I think 10:00 - 12:00 and 14:00 - 16:00 seven days a week). Between the hotels from morning until one in the morning, every 15 minutes, a bus runs (the final ones are the reception). Beach towels can be taken at any of the hotels, but handed over exactly at the point where they took it, because the room number is written on the card. There are no restrictions on the number of taking and returning towels per day.
A gym, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna are available for free, but there's only a women's watch, so don't miss out. There is a playground and games room, horses (for a fee) with a football field and a tennis court in Sport. But from the playground it seems on Tuesday at 15:00 they take children to horses for free.
The operating modes of restaurants are described on the websites of tour operators and in a separate brochure, therefore, I will not dwell on this.
At the reception, take a free map of both hotels - it will come in handy. I'm also posting a photo of it.
The airport is located behind the Sport, but not particularly annoying.
Nutrition.
The food is not bad, but rather monotonous, when compared, for example, with Sultan Gardens. There were no poisonings, you will not be hungry, there are also fruits (dates, oranges, melons, ... ), but for 4 days the monotony is felt. If the hotel works a little on this, then there will be no price for it.
When servicing, I did not notice a clear dismissive attitude in leaving the countries of the former CIS, but still the preference will be slightly inclined towards Europeans.
Sea and beach.
There will be enough sunbeds for everyone, no need to run at dawn and take up seats.
There are 2 pontoons: one for banana boats, parachute boats, etc. , the second for people. But if the face is a brick, then you can start from the boat.
Coral is not chic, but not bad. There is a dead one, and there is a living one. Near the shore, you can also hang out. There is a place (and maybe places) where you can swim over the coral from the sea all the way to the shore. One such place is closer to the pontoon of the Island View Hotel.
There is good news for those who like to swim along the reef for several hundred meters. Swim left and right for any distance along the nearby hotels. For this they do not scold, but the responsibility is naturally on you. Carefully swim from the left pontoon to the pontoon of the Hilton hotel, as motorboats often sail up (there is a special area for them).
Is it worth it to swim left and right from this hotel to others? Why not. For the fact that there is no strict ban on this, many thanks to the administrations of both Concorde and other hotels.
We swim to the right. The reef of our hotel and the neighboring Island View (2 pontoons) are approximately equally normal in beauty, although, as for me, the latter wins a little.
The reef of the next Savoy hotel (2 pontoons) seemed less interesting to me. There is practically no flow. To the right (to the cape) I did not swim, because I was not sure of the current, and the cape was already a little far away.
We swim to the left. Liked the same. You can carefully start from our left (boat) pontoon, swim through the Hilton, swim through the hotel under construction to the stone protruding into the water. Up to this point, more or less interesting. To the left, towards the first along the pontoon of the Siva Sharm hotel, it seemed to me less interesting, as well as between the 2 pontoons of this hotel. Even more to the left towards the left cape did not swim for reasons of safety. They say (from the reviews of the left behind the cape of hotels) that excursion boats pass close to the coral there.
Of the water activities, there is a parachute and a banana, etc.
From living creatures we saw a large (about 120 cm) Napoleon, all sorts of standard fish, lionfish, a small turtle, stingrays. We did not see moray eels, manta rays, sea cows, sharks.
Animation.
The animators are working hard.
There is also a disco at the hotel (until 3 am) under the main restaurant.
But still, the Egyptian night in this hotel was somehow not interesting enough, compared to similar fives.
Conclusion.
Decent hotel, worth the trip.
My positioning of the hotel is somewhere in the range from a very good four to five with a good minus (as for a five).
There are a lot of Russian speakers (there is Ukraine, Russia, Armenia, ... ), both in this hotel and in neighboring ones, you will not get bored (in a good sense of the word).
I wish you all a pleasant stay in this hotel!
