Our vacation did not last a full 10 days, but in fact 9, since on the 10th day we flew away and the flight was in the morning, it’s good that we moved the plane to the evening and for some time we could still enjoy all the delights of this hotel.
I'll start in order.
We flew to the airport in Sharm, where we went through a mini-registration and followed the bus, where our guide from the airport to the hotel told us all the nuances and rules.

Upon arrival, it was at 10 o'clock, we were asked to wait a while and settled a little ahead of time, namely not at 12, but at 11.30. They did not want to change the number at first and frankly asked to thank for the number provided for the first time. DON'T FOLLOW! The rooms are almost all the same and the only thing that can differ is the view from the balcony. Through a guide on the same day, we changed our room from a view of the volleyball field and buildings, to a more or less not bad view of the sea. In the future, we were practically not in the room, only to take a shower and spend the night.
The next day, the guide brought us up to date on what, where and how, of course, offering his excursions. We accepted all 3 that he offered, namely, a trip to Jerusalem for 1 day (we did not regret it and returned with a sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bpleasure), a yacht trip (not impressed at all, everything that can be seen on the sea, namely reefs and fish, are at the very foot of the hotel in the sea, there is not much point in going on a yacht) and a safari (an acceptable excursion, although we were not lucky with a guide like on a yacht - they didn’t tell us anything at all! However, it’s exciting, you can ride camels and independently on ATVs).
As for room service - the room is cleaned every day, perhaps not perfectly, but it is noticeable that they clean it, make the bed, give a daily bottle of water to the room, and when the gels and shampoos are almost completely finished, they inform. If they notice a breakdown, they fix it, however, when they see you, the attendants will not lose the opportunity to come up and hint at "gratitude", because they did what was necessary!
Each room has a safe. On the first day there were problems with the safe, on a call and appeal, after 10 minutes they immediately eliminated it.
The territory is huge! Although half was closed, when asked why - the answer is "not in season", you can still get lost in the first days, not even because of the size of the territory, but rather because all the buildings are very similar to each other and it is very difficult to orient yourself on the first day, but if you ask for help, they will help. There are many Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, as well as local and other nationalities. Almost everyone speaks English, which makes it easier to communicate with different nationalities. Not all staff knows Russian, 40 percent only some words (thanks, hello, please). The guide from Anex, Ali, knew Russian and English - he spoke fluently, if you needed to know something, it was no problem.

Food: three meals a day. Breakfast from 7-10, lunch from 13-15, dinner from 19-21. Each person has the opportunity to visit the restaurants that are located on the territory of the hotel, however, you must first go to the Grill House for lunch and sign up for others for dinner, it’s not a fact that you will get there today or even during your vacation, so hurry up. As for the choice of food - really abundance! At least 5 types of buns each time, or even more, several types of side dishes, different meats and cooked differently, and vegetables and salads and sauces and a sea of ​ ​ sweets, fruits, in the morning you can also take scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, as well as milk with dry breakfast or porridge. Everyone will find what he likes, but everything is worth a try, but not in one day, you won’t be able to try it all even by a gram! From non-alcoholic drinks: cola, fanta, sprite, tonic, hibiscus juice, pineapple and orange, as well as tea and coffee. From alcohol, almost everything, but he is an amateur.
Beach. A large beach, a stone staircase descends to it like from a cliff, everything is decently tiled and it is difficult to fall, unless you run down the slope. There are many sunbeds on the beach, most were free, especially in the early days. There are a sufficient number of umbrellas placed on the beach from wicker hats, which at the same time makes them both pleasant and not badly fitting into the interior of the beach itself. There are pontoons on the beach. They write that 5, but we counted 4 and one beach for children, which in fact is not a pontoon. There are reefs everywhere and you just won’t go down if not through a pontoon, there are some from which you can even jump into the water. As soon as you find yourself in the sea, an abyss is immediately visible under you, and only 5-7 meters to the buoys. Fish swim next to you and are not afraid of you at all, some may perceive you as food if you have a bright varnish or they just like you, but they will not bite much. As for swimming, if someone does not like the beach, they can safely leave and enjoy swimming in the pool. There are 4 of them in one territory and there are 1 or 2 more in the closed one. Although they write that there are 5 of them, again, we counted exactly 4 + 2.
As for the most, as for me, the main thing in this hotel, at least for this period in which I was with my mother. The best animation team ever! These guys may not be professionals, but they do their job in such a way that you can fall in love with them! And I flew away on the plane with tears in my eyes. It all starts in the morning on the beach, at 10 o'clock the animators come out and turn on the song "good morning", where different animals wake up, it is very difficult not to pay attention to this. Then music follows until dinner. At this time, they hold various competitions and exercises. At 10.30 there is a charge for which friendly and always-positive-minded animators call all the people on the beach! Special thanks for this to the animators with whom I managed to visit it: Alina, Masri, Vika. Then at 10.45 the Boccia game starts, followed by darts at 11, the next game at 11.30, or you can go for aqua aerobics with Masri, Vika or Alina, they change every day, they also conduct mini-trainings in dancing there on the beach in the morning, and after dinner by the pool (Belly Dance or oriental dance). Every day, the animators change and everyone spends something different, each in his own way, and this is unobtrusive and cool. Everyone has their own zest, they are never boring and you can talk heart to heart. The guys are young and very open, you are always welcome! In the afternoon there is water polo at 15.30, Shuffle Board starts at 16.30, dancing or aerobics lesson at 16.30 and volleyball starts around the same time. After that, you have time to take a shower, take care of yourself in your room and get ready for dinner. After dinner, you have time until the evening show! At 20.45 children's disco starts at the site of the amphitheater, and at 21.45 the night show begins and each time is different. I was lucky to participate everywhere, to win Mr. Dream Beach Hotel, and as a gift they gave a bottle of whiskey or rum + the guys from the animation team were not at a loss and in the future each time they met with exclamations of "OOO, Mr. Hotel" and bowed demonstratively. Constant jokes from them, if you are not closed people - as a bonus, they are included in the payment for the rest. All the time while you are resting and at least 1 animator is not far from you, he will definitely come to you, take time for you, talk, cheer you up and invite you to any competition or exercise. Summing up, I can say that - these guys know how to fall in love and if you want to spend an unforgettable vacation, let them invite you everywhere, reciprocate and enjoy the time they give you - you will not regret it! I advise everyone to go to them, wherever and everywhere to participate. Special thanks to each of their team, namely: Alina, Vika, Masha and the male team: Talim, Masri, Mido, Mamadou and Omar.
