We rest not for the first time in the hotels of the Hilton chain, we always choose these hotels intentionally. the infrastructure and services of these hotels are familiar and quite satisfactory, and probably on all continents of our Planet. In the previous review, everything was very detailed and honestly painted about this hotel. Therefore, I see no reason to repeat myself, I will note just a few points that I hope will help everyone who chooses a hotel to make a choice and pays more or less attention to the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel.
1. Beach: quite suitable for swimming, but there is a feature - the entrance to the sea is only from the pontoon. there is a coral reef along the coastline, and it is forbidden to step on and walk on corals - the depth is 3-5 meters, so when traveling with children they will also have to be “bathed” from a pontoon, if the children are small and cannot swim, this creates a slight inconvenience. In this case, I advise you to look at other hotels, for example, Hilton Dreams or Hilton Fairuz in the same Sharm, they have a large sandy beach without cliffs and with the possibility of entering without special shoes there are also corals, so there will be something to see underwater.
2. Staff: Responsive and motivated employees clearly and quickly respond to requests and wishes, do not skimp on tips (within reasonable limits, of course) and everything will be OK

3. Meals: In the Hilton 5 * food is even more varied, however, what we have always lacked here both in quality and, of course, in quantity. There are four restaurants on the territory - Asian, Italian, Main and a restaurant with "Bedouin" cuisine in the latter, Lula Kebab of beef and chicken kebab are cooked on an open fire - very good. In Italian, you need to book in advance, although the taste of the dishes, due to the use of local products and the lack of pork, is not quite Italian in my opinion, but that's just in my opinion! The main restaurant is a buffet, the menu of which changes every day and so seven days a week then everything is repeated again, they cook well, drinks are brought quickly to the table and invited immediately. Asian cuisine - all dishes for a fee Japanese Chinese Thai and Indian cuisine - I can’t say anything about the quality of the dishes. I prefer Japanese cuisine, and the prices for it seemed to me, by Russian standards, to put it mildly, not sane
I really liked the infrastructure of the hotel, all the necessary facilities are close to each other, at the same time the territory is not at all cramped. From the second line and from the reception of the 1st line to the beach there is a free bus every 20 minutes. Every hour there is a bus from the hotel to Naama Bay cost 15 pounds per person = 90 rubles one way by appointment at the reception
There is also a good sauna included in the AI ​ ​ concept. The airport is not far to go, but the planes are not heard and they do not interfere at all.
Further, a little about the hotel:
Time of the year: Egypt is very hot in summer. I do not recommend the best from mid-October to early May.
Excursions: Despite the revolution. the situation flew by plane to Cairo, were in Nat. museum, walked around Cairo, everything is quite safe, the guides know where tourists can and cannot be. By the way, this and other excursions, and not only this time, were not bought from a tour operator, but much cheaper and we do not regret - everything is great and at the same level. Although we always take from the same ones, if you need help with this issue, write to the soap reply.
On this I wish everyone a pleasant stay in whatever hotel you go to, do not forget that the main thing is your mood for relaxation.
There will be questions write - I will try to answer.
