This is not the first time in Sharm. I used to stop in the top five, and one four ("Otium Aloha"), and I must say that Montaza was the best. heating, and in the issuance of the search there was an unfamiliar name with an unprecedentedly high, as for Egypt, rating, and a nice price. I decided to try, and somehow do without the pool.
I'll start with the cons:
- Hotel is NOT 18+! I do not know why it is stated in the description, if the children still settle at all without questions. For us, this point was a plus in choosing this hotel, and there was a bummer. So keep that in mind.
- If the hotel itself is located in the "bay" (it is difficult to call it a bay, but let it be), the pontoon goes far beyond it, and is not protected from winds at all. Because of this, you can sometimes find a red flag on the pontoon, but we did not have it hanging all day.
--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Not the pros and cons, but the facts that can be helpful:
- The hotel is divided by a road, but its presence does not affect the rest at all, somewhere once an hour there will be a taxi, and under the road there is a cool tunnel.
- If in the upper part, where the reception and the main restaurant, there are palm trees, lawns and flowers, the part of The View is a continuous labyrinth of stairs and buildings that descends to the sea. There is a kind of Arab romance in this, especially if you sing songs from Aladdin on the way, but it can be difficult for people with disabilities, even with the paved straight road to the beach on the sides of the buildings, because the slope is very steep.
--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
And now the pros:
- Coral reef. Gorgeous and alive, and with a bunch of fish. That is why I go to Egypt every year, and I tell you honestly, here the reef is not inferior in beauty to the reserve of Ras Muhammad.
- The beach as a separate work of art, it is quite large, with lots of sunbeds and all the necessary infrastructure.
Who is not the first time in Sharm will immediately note that the sand here is not native Sharm, that is not a prickly crumb of coral and mussels. The sand is obviously imported, well-groomed, regularly smoothed, walking on it is a pleasure, which I did sometimes for an hour, just wandering back and forth along the sea like a velvet carpet. Those who do not believe my ode to the sand can walk from the beach to the left to the Baron and the Sensator, and compare the sensations. In the Sensor, twice as expensive as five, you can't walk barefoot on the beach without "oh".
- The food is the best I've ever tasted in Sharm, I'm not kidding. During the week, the main course menu was never repeated. I brought 3 extra kilos from this trip, because what to do, how everything is so delicious. I won't even talk about desserts, I'm ashamed that I ate them so ungodly.
Separately, I note the restaurant on the beach, which is not just a bar with snacks, but really a "restaurant" with menus, waiters, and all that.
The menu, however, is monotonous: 2 salads, a burger, a cheeseburger, 3 pizzas and dessert, but everything is delicious and filling, and you do not need to stretch up from the beach in the middle of the day to have a snack.
- I have to make a separate item about cocktails. They are wandered here for glory, maybe sometimes a little sweet (bartenders do not try, they can not drink alcohol), but the choice is great, they look cool (hello photos on Instagram), and all for free. On the first day I didn't believe that there were free drinks in the lobby bar near the reception, I asked the bartender how much it cost, and I was looking for a reason somewhere here.
- The service is definitely up to par. Everyone is so friendly that my conscience tormented me, depriving me of a few tips. Every day the boy-cleaner jumped over his head with towel masterpieces, and tore our room to shine, all the way to the railing on the terrace.
At the same time, he was always smiling and positive, and gently waited for sometimes 20 minutes at the door, while our carcasses stuffed with desserts crawled to the beach.
In the lobby bar, a wonderful bartender, God bless him, served as in a restaurant, in the beach bar, too, a cheerful uncle, who always guessed what cocktail I would like, and what, all cool. There was not a single negative case during the whole hour. Even the massages and diving sold were surprisingly unpretentious.
- You can easily wander the beaches of neighboring hotels and the promenade of the neighboring Baron. At sunset it is especially beautiful. And if we had known on the first day that there was a small market near the Baron right on the promenade, we would not have had to take a taxi to the old town to shop.
- You can walk to Soho, who was not - I recommend.
In the end, I am most satisfied with the rest, and with a calm soul I recommend this hotel. I would still come back here.
