At once I will say I will write a lot, please read EVERYTHING to the end.
Upon arrival, do not be fooled by the fact that you will be asked to pay for a visa. say "Sinai only" and stand your ground. On the Sinai Peninsula, that is, in Sharm, a VISA is NOT REQUIRED. BUT IF YOU GO TO CAIRO OR ISRAEL YOU NEED TO BUY A VISA (SEE BELOW ABOUT CAIRO AND ISRAEL. )
The hotel is good, everything is as written before - the feeder all day, the sea is very good. The rooms are not new, but clean and cleaned every day and it was clean (who doesn't know you should leave a $1 tip to the cleaner when you leave the room before cleaning). The cuisine is very good, a lot of vegetables, oriental snacks, cuisine adapted for Europeans, etc.
Now about the main thing. Take an ultra all-inclusive package, the difference is small and there are more amenities, you won't regret it.
When you check into the hotel, be prepared that if you arrive early in the morning at 7 o'clock (like us), you can wait until 14 o'clock in the afternoon until you are settled. this is a worldwide practice. In this case, QUIETLY leave things in front of the hotel (the security will not lower their voice from them) and GO TO THE HOTEL TERRITORY - you can eat, change clothes in the toilet and sunbathe (you can swim, but you will receive towels after settling on the cards). So you will not get negative emotions as we received them. Additionally, you can ask at the reception to give a normal room closer to the sea and away from the main pool (it's always very noisy there). You can ask at the reception so smiling, you can give bucks. They gave us a nice number.
Change money in Ukraine for dollars, because. ATM takes interest and changes dollars. not all denominations and the rate at the ATM is not very good. You can change money at a bank in Sharm, but it is also stressful when they are needed now.
Animation is not intrusive and so-so. About events for the evening about parties and discos, it is better to ask the animators, because. information was often written in English. language near the main restaurant. If there is a fakir show, be sure to go.
The kids club is so-so. But our child mostly swam in the sea, and did not hang out in a kids club with nannies.
In the hotel, ALL problems can be solved by calling the reception for free from the phone in the room (it says how to call). If you want to call friends from neighboring rooms, dial 5 then the room number (it's free). Calling Ukraine from a number is not very expensive and you will be asked to pay on the day of departure when there are no more money. Why these problems? buy either life or MTS bon voyage (calls 5 UAH min. from Egypt, no roaming service for 7 days then you can extend it)
When you leave the hotel, a supermarket is looking at you (there you can buy the products you need, lining, etc. , but it's expensive there). If you need to skimp, it's better to go to the old town to the market (by taxi).
Taxis can be ordered from the reception at the hotel (it’s safer when we ordered the driver gave us a phone (his mobile phone), given that when we work up we call and they come and take us to the hotel). You can order a taxi near the hotel, it's even cheaper, but you have to agree to be picked up after a certain number of hours.
In the old market, bargain to the last.
When you exit the hotel to the left SOHO. It's great there. Go there for a walk.
Sea. the sea is great. Buy fins, a mask, a snorkel at home, they are bullshit and expensive. Buy all devices to shoot underwater at home too. It is better to swim in the sea at dawn, there are more fish there and you will see such a variety of them only at this time of day. Sun rice beach is better than Savoy and Concord (they are nearby), in my opinion, we have a better reef. Many corals are dying because of people who want to take a piece and ecology, so hurry to see. We had a woman at the hotel who had a rest 8 years ago, and she told me that all the strands near the beach were in corals, she had never seen such beauty anywhere. now it's not there.
Now about the Anex tour. Everyone who travels with him spit. The Anex guides in the hotel only care about selling as many tours as possible and that's it. By the way, you can go to Ros Mukhamed, Tiran Island, etc. (safari bullshit), BUT DO NOT GO TO CAIRO AND ISRAEL. You will be persuaded, do not give in. They shoot in Cairo, you may not get back. , To Israel - only stand at the border for 3 hours (this is only there, back is the same, that you lose 6 hours, in addition to other hemorrhoids. )
NOW AS WE FLYED BACK (READ FOR YOURSELF AND LET A FRIEND READ)
Let's start with the fact that 2 hours before departure you have to wait at the reception. (In advance, better in the evening, ask for a "check out" - how much do you owe the hotel for phone calls, paid services)
Luggage must be taken out of the room one hour before you wait at the reception. Ask for a dry ration if you are leaving early in the morning (we learned about it at the airport).
Our adventures began on the plane (the plane is not UIA, but the Russian carrier UTair, which performs domestic Russian flights and charters abroad). The Arabs flooded our plane with water. That is, they poured water into the tanks in the toilet and filled it so that the water got into the compartment with the wiring, the water was in the cabin along the corridor. First, the crew commander decided not to fly. Then, when the Arabs checked the wiring and gave an act that everything was in order, the crew decided to fly. EVERYTHING WOULD BE NOTHING, BUT IT WAS DRAINING FROM THE PLANE TAIL AS FROM A BUCKET, when we got out it also poured out of a bucket. We sat on the plane for 3 hours and the water kept pouring. it will break into spare parts because minus 50 is overboard. But the pilot said that this was not our case. Passagers began to raise high. We have one life. Children flew with us. IF EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE PLANE, WE WOULD BE GIVED A NEW AND WE FLIGHT CLEARLY. BUT ONLY 8 PEOPLE WERE BRAVE, OF THEM 2 CHILDREN. All the rest, when they heard that they would fly at their own expense, spend the night on the street, and no one needed them, they decided to fly. The crew commander said that he was flying in any case, he also had 2 children (BUT PILOT LIKE MEDICINES AND LAWYERS HAVE A DIFFERENT LIMIT OF FEAR CENISM, ETC. THAN OTHER PEOPLE). We filmed this water on camera, the crew commander, when he saw the camera, began to hide and behave nervously, did not let me see and film the documents about the triage and the act of the ground service that everything was in order.
In short, they flew away, we stayed. The worst was behind or in front - we did not know. We were met by a representative of Anex and said that we would get there at our own expense, accommodation and transfer at our own expense, and in general you got off not because the plane was not ready for departure, but because you lost your nerve and you are afraid to fly, or maybe the curtains on the plane did not like. In short, you had no good reason to get off the plane. We demanded their general manager. It turned out to be Iskander Samirkh. Samirkh told us the same as his subordinate. We started to negotiate. In the process, Samirkh was offended by the words "you are talking nonsense" (about the fact that Anex tour is not responsible for us and cannot help) and simply left the airport building. After we ran after him with phones (write down) and the words "you leave us here and don't want to help us, " he returned. At first, Samirkh said that we would be able to fly out only in a week - there were no planes. When we said that if there are no planes to Kyiv, we are ready to fly to any city in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus where there are places. After a while, he offered us a flight for 250 dollars. per person, accommodation for 54 dollars. from a person. At this time, we called our tour operators in Ukraine, they all said to the embassy in Cairo to negotiate with the tour operator. The embassy generally said that their reserve fund is not designed for such cases and these are your problems (but they could have called back, provided assistance in another way, but they didn’t do that either).
The finale of the story - we finished off Samirkh and at 5 pm, he said that their leadership in Cairo would still provide us with a flight, accommodation, transfer for FREE. To understand the issue, I’ll say that we got up at 3.30 in the morning and sat at the airport without eating or drinking (water at the airport is $ 3 per half liter) until 5 pm. For this, we all wrote a paper that we have no complaints about Anex.
ANEKS Kept his word - we were taken to the hotel, settled in the classy rooms of a good club hotel Delta Sharm (although there is no sea there, but only pools). But this is another good story.
We flew out the next day on a UIA plane with a flight delay of 1.5 hours due to fog in Kyiv, but this did not bother us anymore. The plane was half empty (there were tickets).
CONCLUSION - STAND FOR YOUR RIGHTS! UKRAINIANS ARE THE SAME EUROPEANS AS GERMANS, ENGLISH, ETC.
In case of any problems in the hotel - if the problem is not solved - take a picture, take a picture, write a complaint, and only then raise a high, and not vice versa. But at the SUN RICE hotel you will always be met, you can always negotiate with them.
In conclusion, I want to say that we had a great rest in SAN RAICE. The hotel is good. I will definitely come there again. I hope my comments will help you to relax even better !!! !
