The hotel was chosen based on price and location. There was no cheaper option in this area of ​ ​ Sharm. Read the reviews, it seems more or less, it turned out. Check-in with a delay of 1.5 hours, waiting at the reception. Check-in at 14.00, we were settled earlier than this time, but I came up several times and bothered. Then they offered a room with a view of the pool for an additional fee or a regular room. We took it at no extra charge and everything turned out to be very good, the room was right next to the palm tree and quiet. The hotel has palm trees growing right inside the building. There are three buildings in which you will be accommodated - this is how lucky we were in the first one from the pool, where the restaurant is located, everything is nearby, we liked it. There were no Russian-language channels in the room, I don’t know about others. There were many Egyptians in the hotel, few Russian speakers.
600 meters to the beach, they give coupons for the whole day, you can leave and come, the next day you need to take new coupons at the reception. The beach is very small and 4 hotels go there, and sometimes more, we asked the beach worker. It's better to come there by 6.00, it's quiet, beautiful, calm, clean in the sea and all the sunbeds are free, then, at 9-10 o'clock there are no places. You can go to other beaches, if you want a place there, then it's 3-6 dollars, depending on their greed. The beaches are closed for swimming at 18.00. The fish on the neighboring beach on the right into the sea, close, there are a couple of reefs, you can swim there, they don’t scold that you are from another beach. Take swimming masks with you or buy them there, you can just stand in the water, bend over in the mask and watch the fish, give them a bun, then all the fish are yours. Wake up there until 8.40 and go to breakfast. The day is very hot and there are a lot of people.
The Internet is shitty and only near the reception, everyone is given their own username and password, they constantly need to be re-entered when entering the Internet.

There is a variety of alcohol in the bar, they can also make cocktails if you have everything inclusive, they also give ice cream at the bar near the pool at 16.00, there were no restrictions, but we didn’t dare, we took two servings. Also give bottled drinking water in bottles of 600 ml. We took 4-6 bottles a day, approached the bartender two or three times, gave 2 bottles for two at a time.
The Egyptians on the street are very annoying, they pull me into their stores, one of them didn’t even want to let me out and tried to grab my hands, as I barked at him “REMOVED HANDS”, so he fell behind. In general, do not stand on ceremony with them, they are very arrogant and lie, there are normal ones, but they are few. If you buy something, then do not hesitate to bargain, sometimes the price can be twice as different from the neighboring tent, so it's better to walk around, find it cheaper and still bargain there. Most of our people buy mangoes there.
We did not take excursions from the hotel guide, everything, as usual, is more expensive in the hotel. Juices, too, do not buy at the hotel, it's expensive there. There is a Fix Price store, where everything is cheaper and you can pay by card. Dollars are accepted everywhere, even in a pharmacy. It makes sense to exchange dollars for local currency, as it will often be cheaper in local currency, change from small dollars may not be given. The minibus costs 5 pounds per person. A dollar costs 15.60 pounds. That is, for example, in a minibus you can ride 3 people for a dollar, but if you two give a dollar, then they won’t give you change, it’s better to give 10 pounds. One minibus generally became insolent, after we had already traveled with him and gave a dollar for two, he demanded another dollar, supposedly for each person. I told him that he was crazy and we gave him more than necessary, and if he doesn’t like it, then let him drop us off, then he calmed down. He was not at all embarrassed by the passengers on the bus and so brazenly wanted to deceive. A bluish minibus goes to SOHO, and in the other direction to the Old Town, the price is the same, in principle, only they go there. Taxis are much more expensive, and the minibus travels much faster than a taxi. I recommend visiting the evening SOHO Square, a lot of lights, a fountain, statues.
The food at the hotel is normal, but monotonous, however, there is plenty to choose from, you will not stay hungry, there are many desserts.
