Bought in Vekeyshin - ended up in Beach)))) like in a dream)))
Lucky to get to Beach)))
Everything went well and routinely: two weeks before the trip, all the documents to Dreams Vekeyshin were on hand, vacations at work were issued for the necessary dates, my son’s DR was painted in rainbow colors on December 4 on the Red Sea coast, dinner at the Grill House, etc. etc. But it wasn't there! Instead of December 3rd, departure on the 5th. And all the circumstances arising from this circumstance with work, DR, mood. Thanks to Anex Tur, I haven't got it yet. We take note of which tour operator to choose in the future.
We flew to Sharm on the 5th of December. We got into the bus, and the intrigue began: the guide said that we were not going to Vekeyshen, but to Beach!

There was neither strength nor desire to understand. We arrived in 15 minutes. At the reception, as usual, they filled out a questionnaire, put on bracelets, and had dinner. The check-in took about 5 minutes. The room, like a room, in building 34 on the first floor. The location is excellent: quiet place, not far and not close.
We were not asked for money for a good room when we settled, and what's the point of paying for a "pig in a poke". Now, if the provided number does not suit you, then you should think about it.
Room 3417 is good: clean, safe, furniture is still decent, plasma TV, water on the table, tea-coffee-sugar-kettle-cups, bed is good, all doors are in good condition, there is order on the verandah, the bathroom is sparkling clean, and imagine in the room - dust does not fall from curtains and curtains on my head - and I do not sneeze! Well, one bath towel was missing, the shower poured into the wrong steppe ....Yes, and a flag for them ...This will all be later, things in the room, let's go look around. ON THE SEA! The night sea in no other place was as beautiful as in this hotel! The highlights of the beach, viewing platforms, rocky shore, arches impressed. The territory is just huge. We walked to the Grill House. There, in the bar, we, as beginners, were made sweet cocktails.
A pleasant evening on the seashore, fatigue and stress have disappeared. Hooray! We rest)))
In the morning of the next day clouds and meeting with the guide. Minus almost 2 hours of time, note the precious, because only 6 daylight hours at 7 nights, and the sun goes to bed already at 16-00. Tours are expensive. The guide speaks Russian very well and has a commercial streak too. Blah blah blah)
From my travel experience, I came to the conclusion that, first of all, you need to find a common language with the room cleaner. The boy turned out to be very quick and smart, all the little things in the number were eliminated quickly and further helped in resolving our personal issues. We were very grateful to him for the cleanliness and order in the room, and he did this without disturbing us with his presence.
After the guide, the quest began - get beach towels! They are almost non-existent after 10:00.

But on the other hand, in search of towels, we took a walk and examined the territory of the Dreams Vekeyshin hotel (but there were no towels there either), where we, in theory, were supposed to live: bird paradise with parrots, huge, clean pools, one heated, slides, bridges, an amphitheater with a cool turret for a DJ. So cool, cozy, green. Throughout the rest, after about 17-00, we went there to drink cocktails in bars, for snacks and to the amphitheater for performances. It's a little more comfortable there. We went to the Andolusia restaurant to inquire (I regretted that we were settled in the Beach) - calmness, a representative chef in snow-white clothes personally monitors the order and availability of food. It was not easy to eat at La Opera - it was reminiscent of “fun starts” in a pioneer camp, and sometimes vertical races ...Then we got used to it and simply came not to the opening, but an hour later.
There are catastrophically few staff at La Opera: for 2 servants, there are 5 managers in jackets and blue shirts.? ! One bar? ! for such a number of tourists at meals (700 rooms even for 1.5 people - this is roughly = 1000 people), and our arrival was almost sold out. We went with our plastic cups and at least we didn't stand in lines when there were no glasses to take something to drink. I advise those who will rest there to also take disposable forks and spoons, there is also trouble with table setting during meals. Teaspoons do not exist at all and in the room too. The quality of the cooked food was lame on both legs: the potatoes were almost always half-baked, even in the so-called mashed potatoes there were pieces of undercooked and not crushed potatoes. Undercooked beef, which was cut up and given out in portions, we took to the bird's paradise for chickens. I have never seen so many spoiled food by chefs.
And what kind of beef stewed with potatoes and vegetables could be! Baking in the morning is good, in the evening multi-colored biscuits with different impregnations. Cottage cheese, yoghurts, hot sandwiches and all sorts of other goodies must be chased. A lot has been written about the queues for food in the reviews - it's true! But something needs to be done about it! There is a way to dine at the Grill House, the quality of cooking is better. Delicious kebabs, chicken. But the queues are also big. The staff is also at a minimum and they plow like slaves. I liked the bar at this restaurant for the quality of drinks and fast-polite service. There is also a way to go to dinner at 4 restaurants by appointment upon arrival before 12 noon at the Grill House, but somehow we didn’t sign up right away, and then we didn’t bother because these dinners were tied to the days of the week and different times - in short: it is necessary to draw up a schedule, but we wanted freedom in time and in movement.
The beach is original with a very large number of sun loungers located in different tiers of the beach and in different accessible places. But if you think that you will lie on a deck chair, and your heels will be washed by a sea wave, this is a delusion. There are only two descents-piers into the water, the third was closed. To go in and out of sea visas with a full house of visits to Vekeyshina and Beach is also almost a queue. Bought, climbed to the selected tier and sunbathing. After the Melton reef (who knows, he will understand), the reef on this beach loses at times. There are fish, but not enough for us. In December, the sun began to pleasantly warm somewhere from 8-30, and at 12-30 already hello shade in that part of the beach that is closer to the territory of Vekeyshin. The sun is the longest, somewhere until 15-30, on a part of the beach near the Grill House restaurant. We first swam in the sea, and sunbathing went to the Beach pools - we moved a lot both in the water and in the air.

I did not like sunbathing on the beach because of the very large number of people and sagging sun loungers. Near the pool with a slide, where the Pergola restaurant is located, it was easy and pleasant to sunbathe. The water temperature of about 18-19 degrees is acceptable for us, so we swam and enjoyed the cleanliness of the pool with a slide and the pool with a depth of 2.8 m. The hair after this water was soft as after spring water. There is no chlorine in cleaning and chemical disinfection of water. There is a bar nearby, and from 10-30 donuts with different jams and chocolate are fried. Delicious. The bartender is very attentive, he remembered all the favorite drinks of his visitors. Bravo.
And the main bartender Vekeyshina generally showed the wonders of juggling when preparing delicious cocktails. I specifically took a photo of these cool tricks. The staff of both hotels are very friendly and attentive. Only you don’t walk around with faces as if you were drunk on vinegar.
They shun such people and try not to disturb them.
We are very satisfied with the rest, because what we did not like, we managed to compensate for with something pleasant in many cases. There is a choice in all aspects of a pleasant pastime. It is worth noting that after dinner there is live music in both hotels, and first for children there is a mini disco, and then for young people there is a maxi disco. I can’t say about the quality, because we didn’t take part, but the people hung out actively. I have a double opinion about animation: in Vekeishin, the locals are more sociable and kinder, while in Beach they are aggressive and cocky - you can feel the influence of modern education.
The contingent of vacationers was worthy. There were no violent, special and galloping ones, which was very pleasing. Russians, Belarusians, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Belgians, Ukrainians rested peacefully, there was enough space for everyone.
The hotels were already in full swing preparing for Christmas and New Year, the whole territory was decorated. At the reception there was a huge Christmas tree with Santa and a deer)))))
A MUST visit the bird paradise with his sincere and kindest person caring for birds. The remnants of bread, greens from the table and seeds brought from home will greatly delight the inhabitants of the poultry house. Parrots, pigeons and chickens will even recognize you. Encourage your kids to interact with birds. Only there is also a free crow that can snatch your gifts from your hands.

The bottom line is that both hotels deserve to be put on the list of places where you would like to return if there are adequate prices for tours. Thanks to everyone involved for a pleasant time in your hotels))))
But I will think about cooperation with Anex Tour many times))) Take note that they may forget to notify you about changing the time of departure from the hotel to the airport, and there will be no information at the reception either.
