Hi all!! ! I want to share my impressions about the rest in Egypt, and in particular - about the hotel Horizon Sharm Resort (4*)!!!
I would give this hotel an overall rating of 4 with a minus, but it's not quite as bad as some people write! We got a very normal room, on the 2nd floor, overlooking the pool in the courtyard! The room was cleaned every day, towels changed every day, everything worked in the room - TV and hair dryer. We heard that some tourists complained that their hair dryers did not work.
They fed very little - and there was meat, and a large selection of salads, vegetables, potatoes were cooked in different ways all the time, and rice and pasta, omelettes were fried in the mornings, a large selection of sweets - puffs, cakes, all sorts of cookies, from fruits - melon, gaava, oranges - also present every day! From drinks - tea, coffee, lemonade - please, the whole day! Locally produced alcohol must be taken by yourself - either in the bar or in the canteen - there was a table and an Arab on tap in the corner separately!
From entertainment in the hotel - nothing. At 15.00 every day there was a "belly dance" near the pool - the locals taught our priests to move, who did not want to participate - they were joking, too funny !! ! In the morning on the beach - gymnastics, also every day!! ! Here you need to entertain yourself! You can go for a drive in the desert on quadrics - local hotel guides have cheaper prices than ours! We also got a lot of positive feedback! After dinner every day we sat at the bar, drank cocktails and made fun of the locals - made friends with the local bartender and DJ (the only normal people). It wasn't boring at all! You can make friends with the bartender if you leave him a tip of $1 a couple of times, or treat him with a bottle of our vodka, and then he will always have everything for you!!!!
Regarding the sea - far away, the bus either goes or does not go. Mostly went on foot - 20 minutes on a relaxed!
After a delicious breakfast, a walk with a passive rest is useful! The main disadvantage of the hotel is a bar on the beach - the bartender is a small, nasty young Arab, and he never had beer, and if there was beer, then there were no empty glasses !! ! And the beach itself is also so-so - until you reach the water along the bridge - you will freeze from the wind and you will not want to swim! But the corals with fish here are SUPER - this covers all the shortcomings of the beach !! ! We did not swim in the pool - the water was very cold there! I want to advise everyone who will rest here - to compare the beach at least once to go to the lagoon. Take a local minibus for 20 minutes to the Old Market (1 dollar fare - don't give it anymore), and then walk for 15 minutes along the coast, they have it like a "wild beach"! There you generally get into a fairy tale - waves and wind never happen there, there are even more corals and fish than on the hotel beach, and there is no bridge - the water is immediately from the shore, for children the beach is good here, shallow 100 meters!
In a word, two completely different beaches! The water throughout the rest was warm 23-24 degrees, the air 26-28 degrees, the wind - like when!
Total, rested - SUPER!! ! In the middle of winter, they lay in the sun, bought, tanned, ate vegetables and fruits (without pesticides, like ours! )! The main thing in rest is not to pay attention to some trifles and inconveniences, to enjoy what you have! If you go to this hotel and have questions - write ajrina@mail. en
