The hotel is not quite in my opinion for Russians, especially not for those who do not quite or do not speak English at all, because mostly English people rest and the hotel staff is focused on them. The attitude (mainly in bars and restaurants) is appropriate, when you speak English with them, you will be served as expected when they recognize you as a "rashin", even if you made an order earlier, only after a foreigner. In Turkey, they rested in a similar hotel in Marmaris, where 80% of the British, and did not notice such a dismissive attitude towards the Russians. However, some Russians, it must be said, are well done themselves: they get drunk on meat since Moscow, and upon checking into a hotel they become objects of a walking joke for the Arabs.

The hotel area is too elongated and climbing uphill to the main restaurant El Matam on the second line was a little tense at 38 degrees. The food is so-so, but you can eat. Full of bars.

Local booze, sandwiches, burgers, ice cream (slop) - free of charge. Bred for a romantic dinner on the beach, because for extra. fee-do not be fooled-almost everything is the same as in a restaurant. There are almost no fruits, and if there are, it is only at the beginning of the meal (and whoever did not have time was late), however, there are always almost fruit salads, but I, as a lover of a holistic perception of this type of food, only tried them, my wife ate, liked it. Really tasty meat can be tasted at the El Bedouin restaurant, where it is grilled. Animation is only on the second line and is also focused on foreigners. The beach is small, but if you wish, you can always find a place under the sun and an umbrella.

A big plus, though not a hotel, the sea is awesomely beautiful, but again only under water: coral reefs, colorful fish and marine reptiles.

In a word, to do at the hotel is especially not good, just sunbathe and swim with a mask (free of charge) or scuba diving (50 euros per hour).
Would recommend the hotel to Russian-even-a-little-English-speaking tourists for a quiet holiday, which is still worth diluting sometimes with excursions (St. Catherine's Monastery, Mount Moses, Jerusalem with Bethlehem, etc. ), which we successfully made through Abdul (or Abdul from Sinai Travel), whose prices were at 2.2. 5 times lower than those offered to us in the person of the guide Sabina "Pegas Turistik" (for those who want to really save money and visit almost everywhere during this time).

Yes, the service in Sharm, both from my own and from strangers, seemed to me very intrusive. .

In general, the second time at least I would not go to this hotel, I would rather go to the neighboring Concorde or Savoy at worst, where at first glance everything looked a little nicer. .

Have a good rest everyone, be smarter, and let them not tell you for loot on the streets of Sharm El Sheikh! (Buying everything is cheaper 2-3 times in Naama Bay or in Dahab, but there the Arabs will bug you).
In general, it’s normal, you can live there, but even for me, a family man, it was boring in the evenings. It was enough to go to Soho Square and back from the second time. The singing fountains didn’t work, and in general, there’s a lack of flight of thought and free creativity around everything, the handicap of the local mentality, without a spark, everything is somehow ...

PS: when you check in, you don’t need to give any 10 or even more than 40, as some of ours leave bucks, it’s enough to politely ask the reception for a room with the view you want to see, and you will be settled at least on the first, at least on the second line, overlooking sea, or to a construction site, as you wish))).
