Good afternoon! I vacationed with my family (husband and son 17 years old) in August 2018. This is not the first time in Egypt. From the hotels offered by the travel agency, I stopped at Cyrene, read the reviews and already had an idea about the hotels. I will try to describe everything in more detail. (Maybe someone will come in handy)))
1) Meeting at the airport - everything is fine (as usual), but it helped a lot that our travel agent gave us a visa form in advance (we didn’t have to queue). The distance from the airport to the hotel is 15 min. , max. Sharm is 23 km away.
2) Settlement, numbers. When booking the hotel, they wrote that the priority was on the second floor, but we were immediately given a room on the first, after a few minutes of negotiations and checking my words, they gave the second floor of building 5 (number 5154). The room is standard, everything is as usual (air conditioning, there is Ukrainian and Russian, channels, a kettle, cups, glasses, a refrigerator, 2 bottles of water (water in unlimited quantities can be taken at the bar for a 0.5l bottle), the room is clean (if you want, you can find fault with the little things, but we didn’t) , towels, water, cold, hot. View from the balcony of the sea, side. Every day, for 1 dollar. , on the bed there were figurines from the towels.

3) The territory is average, but it's good, go to the sea for 1 minute. It's beautiful, there is enough greenery, the pools are connected by bridges and waterfalls (no slides). Pools for adults and children, everything is taken care of.
3) Sea and beach. The beach is sandy, clean, there are enough sun loungers. The entrance to the sea is sand and some corals (a very good entry for children, the sea is knee-deep for adults), hedgehogs and nothing like that, we went without special shoes. In the evening, the tide begins to ebb. The pontoon is 120 meters (in other hotels they said 1.5 km !!! ), so the pontoon is not long))), And now the most important thing is the SEA is super, the coral reef is very beautiful (we saw, except for different fish, a huge turtle, a stingray fish, an igloo, etc. ) I really liked that they were allowed to swim for buoys if there were no waves. Be sure to take masks and snorkels ! ! You can swim in the sea and pool until 18-00, then they close.
4) Nutrition. What can I say))((((We were not hungry. But there is no variety. One restaurant (dining room), three bars, and a la carte restaurants (once for free), Drinks (cola, sprite, fanta, soda, beer at bars poured only from bottles), juices from packages. Alcohol, as usual, is, but diluted. We had little fruit (melon, apples, dates).
5) The animation worked, well done!
6) There are no shops around the hotels.
7) The hotel provides a free sightseeing tour to Sharm. We took an Extreme tour (like ((() safari. (well, so-so, I wouldn’t go the second time, one thing I liked about this tour was a parachute flight)
A hotel for middle-class people, there is no special luxury. Very quiet and peaceful hotel (boring for young people)
That's it! I wish you a good holiday!!! !
