Former Hilton, SAFIR.
We rested at the hotel on 19.04-30.04. 21, brought us to the hotel after breakfast, marinated a little, listened to our wishes, received our bribe and settled us in a room near the beach. In fact, you can live in any part of the hotel, all buildings go to the funicular. 3 minutes and you are at the reception (there is also a dining room. ) But proximity to the beach was important for us.
HOTEL
The hotel is very compact and beautiful. Who cares to walk, then there are no places, only in a circle. Near Mercato street, you can always walk there.
The room is clean, the furniture is normal, the plumbing is a little tired, but not critical. We had a large bed in the room, a sofa for watching TV, a refrigerator (it cooled well), a safe (not bolted, just stood in the closet), a set of tea and coffee, water 1.5 l, a hairdryer and an iron and ironing board (so and didn't work).
A bathrobe and slippers can be provided upon request. We asked for slippers and they gave us 3 times. Soap supplies (shampoo, bar soap, gel, conditioner and body lotion) were replenished on time (Hilton heritage), and the hotel is now 4 *. Cleaning is normal, towels are changed every day, regardless of whether you throw them on the floor or not.
TV-flat screen, all outputs are there, but USB did not work. At first, the channels were only Arabic, after contacting the reception, they set up Russian-speaking and Ukrainian ones.
I want to note the speed of solving problems, slippers do not count, we only remembered about them in the evening, when the cleaner left, namely, he gives them out.
There was a problem with sockets, at least bring your own extension cord. Charging a mobile near the bed is a problem, but maybe this is a concern for us, so that we can take a break from gadgets.
There is NO Wi-Fi in the hotel. But we immediately bought at the airport. Orange, $10, like 18 GB. In fact, less, we didn’t have enough, the Internet ended on the 11th day. Video watched, football matches.
I really liked the arrangement of the buildings, you move from the room to the funicular not in the open sun. The funicular often broke down, but not for long, we were not bothered.
The hotel has a saltwater pool, next to the beach, and next to the reception, simple. We swam there a couple of times, leaving lunch, it is refreshing and there is a shade from palm trees. The bar doesn't really work there. There is also a pool next to the spa, but we did not go there. Earlier in the reviews they asked why a pool with sea water, 2 minutes walk from the sea, we had a small storm, so we swam in the pool.
BEACH
Beach, sun loungers and places not under the sun. I don't know how the hotel will cope with full occupancy. The beach consists of several sectors that are completely different from each other. 2 days of choosing, moving from place to place, trying to choose the best location for us.
There is a part of the beach near the flooded pontoon. There are few fungi, the sunbeds are all occupied, either in the evening or from 4 in the morning. There is a place for kids, a meter or two, but still under the feet of petrified coral. At high tide, adults also took water baths there.
There are two plateaus, one near the volleyball court, there are enough places. And near the bar, there are few fungi, but I came at 6 in the morning, my chosen place was free.
Also tiny two patches in the depressions of the landscape. It's good when the wind is in winter. The beds are very heavy, wooden. The mattresses are normal, made of leatherette, the towels are clean, new.
On the upper part of the beach there is a shower with fresh water, in general there are 3 of them, but it works well only near the bar, next to the pool it is not working. The toilet is next to the beach, behind the dining room, which is on the beach.
PONTONS
There are two of them. This is where the positives end.
Flooded pontoon. Partially broken, at the end of the path, skill is needed to enter. At high tide, if there is no wave, just go on it and swim further. If the tide is out, again, if there is no wave, you just need to swim on it, get up and go to the shore. It is guarded by surgeon fish, there are a lot of them, I do not recommend waving your legs.
Now, if there is a wave, getting in and out is more problematic. The wave knocks you off your feet. Let's just say, for young people it is not difficult.
Plastic pontoon. The pontoon itself is not very long, it was normal to even go into the wave. But the stairs are useless. The slope of the stairs from you requires enough effort to climb, especially just 3 steps. In my opinion, this is the biggest disadvantage of the hotel. But since there are no representatives of the hotel on this site, it will be so for a long time. No one will invest in a pontoon.
In the sea, the current is sometimes very significant. Coral. Tired, as in almost everything in Sharm. Fish, in my opinion, not enough, though the water was cool. Maybe I've already seen enough, and therefore I was not particularly impressed by the fish. Lots of surgeonfish. If you swim to the left of the flooded pontoon, there are many beautiful living corals. But there are few who swim. A turtle lives somewhere near the plastic pontoon, I didn't see it. I met Orlyak early in the morning, but he immediately went to the depths.
NUTRITION
The dining room is located in the main building, next to the reception. In the morning and afternoon it is completely flooded with light, one of the architects was an entertainer and came up with not just panoramic windows, but also a roof. But finding a place without sun is possible.
The food, as for me, was too dietary. All stew, meat, fish. Grill in the evening. There are enough vegetables, but the trouble is with fruits, there were only 2 types of them. The cooks give out everything themselves, there is always a queue for the issuance of salads.
Drinks are served by waiters. In the morning, coffee, tea, hibiscus, milk were delivered on a cart. You place an order during the day. Everything quickly, sometimes, they brought it right away, as soon as you came in, remembering your addictions. In general, the team of waiters and cleaners in the dining room deserves the best praise.
There is a dining room on the beach, before you had to take a coupon at the reception. Now you just come, sit down, place an order. There is only a burger, lula and deep-fried fish, french fries. And drinks. We only went once.
There are only 2 bars, in the lobby and on the beach. Maybe with the arrival of the Russians, the old bars will come to life. But so far it has been. They didn’t drink alcohol, they saw beer being poured from bottles, packaged juices. Pour into small plastic cups.
DEPARTURE
Coral Travel postponed our flight to 6 hours ago, we had breakfast and flew away. In general, the hotel, service, staff were satisfied. I can’t recommend it, because I myself experienced discomfort when entering the sea. Maybe the arrival of the Russians will encourage the owner of the hotel to make it more convenient to enter the pontoons.
