I want to immediately make a summary that Egypt and this hotel cannot be compared with Thailand, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and so on. This is in your own interests) because then the rest will definitely be good.
Compare in price and service with Zatoka, Odessa, etc. , because Thailand and similar countries cost different money and other requests for them.

We have good memories of the Concorde Hotel. We liked everything. If you do not include Olga Freimut and do not find fault with scuffs and so on (in a large hotel that is 27 years old there are different things), then it’s very good.

STRENGTHS of the hotel - location near Soho, quiet Sharks Bay, which saves from the winds in winter, very cozy and green area, excellent service and staff, delicious food.

WEAKNESSES: 27 years old hotel and crisis in Egypt. It is a little felt, but does not spoil the rest.

ABOUT FOOD: Tasty and varied, but even this gets boring on the 8th-9th day (as always).

For breakfast there is a classic complex: pancakes, omelettes, eggs, scramble, cereals, cereals, yogurts, salad vegetables, pastries, etc.
Delicious falafel and feta.
For lunch and dinner there is always beef and fish, sometimes seafood, one or two soups, pizza, pasta, side dishes, etc.
There were no olives, although they are very cheap in stores.
There is a children's corner with food and a dietary corner.
I was pleased that in addition to chemical Egyptian pops, there are delicious mango, guava, melon (in the morning), apple and delicious coffee-tea juices.
It's impossible to stay hungry!

PRO POOLS:
There are four swimming pools (one unheated panoramic, two small heated ones and one in the SPORT hotel with heating and slides, where you can either walk or take a bus. They work from dawn to dusk (now until 16:00-16:30) ,
SPA is a hotel on the first line (free of charge from 7:00 to 10:00) and on the second (from 7:00 to 16-17 like).
SEA and BEACH: terraced beach, the first line is always full and often inadequate tourists who take sunbeds but may not even appear on the beach). The beds are old. The pontoon is small, we saw more beautiful corals, and the fish are different every day: sometimes a lot and different, sometimes not very much.

SOHO and SHOPPING is an advantage in winter when it gets dark early. But it makes no sense to go to SOHO before 19:00, because there is little work and the festive decorations are not on fire.
There are shops and shops. But there you can buy fruits to eat at the hotel. It is better to buy all other purchases and fruits for home in the old city.
You can go to Naama Bay in the evening. There is a bus from the hotel every evening at 20:30 and 21:30. But, again, this is a very touristy and expensive place. where they sharp you everywhere and ask you to come in.
You can go to the old city by local minibus (from the main road near the SPORT hotel for 5 pounds per person), or by taxi (near the hotel exit for 6 dollars one way.
Worth buying now mango, strawberry. Do not buy coconut oil - not of high quality and even dangerous. Checked on myself.

Taste seafood in the restaurants of the Old City, which you choose and cook for you on the spot. It is one hundred. King prawns at $11 per kg.

HACKS:
1. Be polite and friendly, then it will be possible to extend the number a little and try to stay with the bracelet on the last day.
2. You can go to the Old City for $8 through a guy named Islam. Ask about him at the counter, where they register in Naama Bay and so on. He has a better car and a better price.
3. Taxi drivers can take you to the Old City, and even to the Carrefour or Metro supermarket and wait for you. we paid a dollar extra for 40 minutes of waiting. But there is a lot there.
4.
You can take delicious wine from Ukraine with you and calmly go to a bar with a terrace overlooking the sea, where it will be opened and poured for you. It will be a great and romantic time. If you take more bottles, you will be happy to buy everything either animators or locals. The former missed their native products, while the latter simply appreciate)
5. Relax and don't whine and everything will be cool!
