Отчет об отдыхе в SUNRISE SELECT ISLAND VIEW RESORT5* Vacation report at SUNRISE SELECT ISLAND VIEW RESORT5*

We rested together from August 26 to September 3.2011, in fact, we got almost 9 full days and 8 nights! We arrived at 6.30 am local time. And we had a late flight back. We flew to Sharm on a Boeing of Utair Airlines, and back on an Airbus 320 of Khors Airlines (Kharkiv Airlines, if I'm not mistaken). Anex tour sent everyone to buy a visa from themselves not for $15, as it costs, but for $18 or 17.5, we paid $35 for two. Those who thought that it was possible to get around them returned and paid extra $ 3 each, since they (representatives of Anex) registered all the tourists who arrived. And the crowd formed near the racks of tour operators (the same situation is in Tour Tess, Pegasus), and not in the window where they sell visas. We were put on the bus quickly and at about 7.00 we were at the hotel. They promised to check in around 10-11 am. We left them $ 10, the manager promised to put them in 500 rooms on the 2nd floor with a balcony and a view of the pool No. 2, and told us to take a walk until 11.00. (Before us, the girl gave $ 20 and asked to be settled earlier, the manager took the money, but answered that there are no free rooms yet... ))) Here, such a service))) Yes, all tourists who arrive early can eat and use the beach without waiting for check-in. We walked until 10.30, when we returned, it turned out that all the rooms were given out, we were offered 921 (the 900th numbers go out onto the road along which buses drive from the second line to the beach and to the fence of the hotel with a savoy, rooms with balconies) and 640 rooms - we chose it, its windows overlooked Concord, but unfortunately there was no balcony, there was a green terrace in front of the window and buses did not go on this side. The money was returned to us, and we agreed to change the room the next day. But then they did not want to fool themselves))). The guys at the reception already recognized us))). . . As mentioned above, really good rooms are 600s, 700s (they are somewhere in the middle between the beach and the main restaurant), 300s, 200s, 400s - closer to the sea, 500s near pool number 2 and closer to the restaurant. Our room was near the playground. Some rooms have a balcony, some do not.
Advantages of the hotel: it is a beautiful large well-groomed territory, a good beach, a beautiful reef, location (there is almost no wind in the bay and Soho Square is nearby - there is where to take a walk in the evening). There is duty free on Soho Square, within 48 hours after arrival, you can buy alcohol and other goods there, if you have a passport. For me, it’s simply not necessary to go to Naama Bay if you have already been to Sharm. And it’s better to go to the Old City for souvenirs, it’s much cheaper there (although we bought on the last day on Soho, we didn’t want to waste time))))
Disadvantages: 1 - food (every day the same, few fruits), I'm in Egypt 5 times, in this hotel 2 times... I want to say that the food was much better in other hotels... But there is a stomach to fill than, we were not hungry, 2- old rooms, furniture (repair is needed urgently). 3. The animation is very weak - I did not like it.

The hotel is designed for a more relaxing holiday.
Vacationers 50/50 (Europeans (Germans, French / Slavs) Europeans, for example, annoyed me - behaved like savages...
The hotel operates on an all inclusive and ultra system. (I would not buy an ultra, since only one Victoria bar works, and the difference is $ 200 -300). you can buy everything you need in duty!
I would advise you to take your extra towels with you to the beach, since the places at the main pool and at the pool near the sea must be taken at 7.00 in the morning - this is the maximum, at 8.00 everything can already be occupied. And hotel towels are issued from 8.00 and they must be returned at 17.00. And on the beach the sun stays until 18.00
They also stole shorts from us, they were drying outside the window on the terrace on a chair. (((
We went to a meeting with a representative from the Anex tour, except for information about excursions, they did not tell us anything. And in general, the representatives there are not very friendly and they do not even try to solve your problems or questions!
To extend the number for 2 hours costs $10, for 4 hours $20, for 6 hours - $30, for 8 hours - $40 (subject to availability)! They have a sign on the counter, but facing them.
And from the hotel 2 times a day (at 19.30 and at 20.30 there is a paid bus to Naama Bay - $ 4 per person there and back.
Looks like I didn't forget anything : )
And so in general the rest was a success, see the photo report. And if you have any questions, I'm happy to share my experience!
