Were (me, wife, child 6 years old) in this hotel from 22.10. 2011 to 02.11. 2011. We are going abroad for the first time with a child, so we chose a trusted hotel (we were here in May without children). Now I'll try to tell you more about the trip.
Arrival at Sharm El Sheikh Airport. Since we were planning only local excursions, I read about the type of 15-day visa “Sinai Only”, which has been discussed in detail here and on other sites for the last 2 years. It's free. The representative of the TEZ tour grumbled something about the fact that Kyiv should buy a visa for $15, but I kept silent, filled out the immigration card and immediately went to passport control, where they received a free “Sinai Only” stamp without any problems. From the excursions we went to their Ras-Mohamed reserve by sea (land with this type of visa will not be allowed! ).
Arrival at the hotel. The Standard Room (these are 6 and 7 buildings) for + $ 30 turned into ala SeaView with a view of the theater (right in front of the nose) and the sea (in the distance). The theater got a little with its roar in the evening.
The hotel is normal (4 to 5 points system). 2 pontoons (this is the only way to enter the sea, because the coast is rocky). Campaign number - canteen, number - the sea does not bother. Beach towels are included per person. Our little one entered the water from the pontoon and managed to swim with a mask 3 times. In any case, 3 swimming pools are at your disposal.
Rooms are cleaned and towels are changed daily, but no frills. Leaving $1 doesn't make much sense - the result is almost zero. But they can sometimes twist a swan. The dollar and the request to make a crocodile came true. The dollar and the request to make an elephant of the ball were ignored (the dollar was taken away).
The charge of the hotel ball is not more than 50%. There were enough beds for everyone! Many of ours (Russia, Ukraine).
During our stay, the storm was quite strong, which seemed strange to me for this time of year. But the pontoons were open during the day. Yes, in other matters, the Russians would not have been stopped anyway)
Now I will compare our rest in this hotel in comparison with the May holidays of 2011. The water was warmer, the air cooler, more windy. Room service has remained about the same level. There were fewer fruits in the canteen. The range of paid fresh juices for $2 has remained the same (I recommend it, drink it - it's delicious! ). The attitude of the waiters has changed for the worse (an extra day of leaving a buck will help).
The pontoons began to close at night. Break through, of course, it turns out, but they drive!
The construction of the left (if you look towards the sea) neighboring hotel has intensified. Construction crawled right to the coast. Noisy even at night. They blocked with a ribbon part of the sun loungers closer to the construction site and the passage to the neighboring beach of the calving under construction. You can break through, but still a little taboo.
Yes, I would especially like to mention the visit to the fish restaurant (one free lunch). People expect a miracle from this visit - there is no miracle! On the contrary, disappointment!
They will just feed you the same as in the main canteen, only they will bring it themselves) Well, you can go once, suddenly you are more lucky.
Of the bartenders, I would like to mention the bartender at the bar near the lowest pool - a great guy! (but from 02.11. 2011 he will be on vacation for 10 days).
Eviction. No problem.
