We chose an inexpensive 5 * hotel with a good reef and a calm bay, we stopped at Dreams Beach for a little less than $ 1000 for 6 nights.
Departure from Kharkov at 2 am and after 4 hours we are already in Sharm, stamped in the passport, luggage, SIM card and at 9 am we are at the hotel reception.
From the lobby, it immediately catches the eye that it was once a good hotel, but now there are only remnants of its former luxury, everything can be seen in the details, the clock with different cities at the reception does not work, the furniture is shabby, the filamentous fountain is in a terrible state, New Year's decorations are apparently exhibited not the first year.
They said there would be no early check-in, bracelets would be given only at 10:30, breakfast until 10:00, which is not allowed without a bracelet. You can only water and tea at the bar. Bags should be left outside near the entrance to the lobby under the scorching sun, we decided to put everything we can in them and go to the beach.
The beach really turned out to be quite good, elongated along the bay, with 3 pontoons and a beautiful reef, there were not enough sunbeds, but after waiting 5-10 minutes there were always free ones, you need to go down to the beach either by stairs, I counted 140+, or along a winding road, from one end of the hotel there is an elevator to the beach, but we had a long walk to it, so we did not use it. The bay turned out to be not so windless out of 7 days - 4 there was a fairly strong wind, but there were no red flags.
At 13:00 we returned to the reception, received bracelets and immediately went to lunch, everything turned out to be good for food, chicken meat, beef, steaks, salads, fresh vegetables, fruits, you will not stay hungry. The cooks pour it themselves, it happens that 1 cook distributes it to several racks, so a queue gathers and it happens that you have to wait 5-10 minutes for one dish, or you can be impudent and come up to pour yourself.
13:55 we get a room on the 1st floor in building 35, which is closer to the sister hotel Dreams vacation, the poor cleaning immediately caught my eye, but since we were tired, we immediately went to bed, then we already saw yellow spots on the sheets, dirt in all corners, under the bed there is such a layer of dust that you can collect another mattress, not only to take a bathroom, it's disgusting to get up in slippers to take a shower, in general it's dirty.
The cleaner, in turn, can only sculpt animals from towels for a dollar, which he will not forget to remind you of, but you need to literally beg to wash the floor, once we saw how it is done there, water from a bottle splashes out in 4-5 places around the room and it all rubs dirty rag - everything! The cleaning is completed, it’s good that at least the garbage was taken away, in general, the dirt in the room was the biggest minus for our entire holiday.
After lunch, there are few people on the beach, since the rock covers the sun and it is all in the shade, many people gather near the pools in which no one bathes, because the water is very cold, but you can sunbathe, play table tennis, animation sometimes arranges darts, step aerobics, but there is no schedule, it all happens spontaneously.
The territory of the hotel is large, there is where to walk, there is a birdhouse with parrots on the territory, many beautiful sculptures, but almost all of them are beaten and look abandoned, if you leave the hotel and walk 200m to the left, there will be a market with souvenirs and a supermarket, as well as excursions with prices better than on the beach and even more so with a guide, although you can find it even cheaper on the Internet, for $ 2 we went to the old city, it is nearby and in Soho for $ 8.
After dinner, they arrange a children's disco, after which there were Latin dances, magicians, singers on different days.
If you drink strong alcohol, then I highly recommend taking it with you, we did just that, for the sake of interest I took pure gin and whiskey, the same ocetone in glasses of only a different color, it’s better not to drink this, beer is tolerable, wine too, but they give it only for lunch and dinner, in general, all alcohol is given from 12 noon to 12 at night.
We had a late flight at 20:00, we checked in at 12, cut off the bracelets, so we were left without dinner) Which of course didn’t make us happy, I understand that we didn’t pay for it, but in other hotels they always fed us upon arrival and departure, especially during the stay, we definitely missed a few meals, in general, a trifle, but unpleasant.
Summarizing, I repeat, it is clear that the hotel used to be much higher than it is now and they simply don’t invest in it or save money, but they say there are new renovated rooms, maybe the situation is better there and the cleaners do a better job, maybe we just got unlucky) In any case, there is something to work on, perhaps when the reviews about the hotel change for the better, we will return here again, but now we will refrain.
