дебют в Шарме debut in Sharm

good hotel, solid 4 * thanks for the reviews on this site, 80% of the information is true; ) the nuances of our holiday: 1. accommodation: we paid for a room with a sea view at the agency, but remembering the baksheesh, we were ready, immediately money at the reception they didn’t give it, they settled on the first floor overlooking the road and next to the disco, returned to the reception, I gave the guy a theatrical hysteria in front of them, gave them five dollars, settled on the 3rd floor overlooking the sea : )) 2. Service: they left the cleaner a couple of times for a dollar, but for some reason stubbornly brought 1 set of clean towels for two, and explanatory conversations with the manager did not help : ) but in general, they treat us like idiots when they are not in the mood, they don’t understand Russian at all , you switch to English, it’s also difficult, they smoke hashish for sure even during working hours (typical view), they smile at any complaint, yes, yes, everything will be OK, and stupidly nothing is done, they wait for bakshish for any reason, a problem-free price for a good number 10-20 bucks baksheesh if you bought standard 3. food: decent for a four, you won’t go hungry, but only for dinner and if there are Italians in the hotel there will be delicious meat or grilled poultry, breakfast is nauseatingly monotonous (a couple of types of cheap sausage Varenka, scrambled eggs with vegetables, muesli, vegetables, delicious puffs and pies with nuts, fruits are scarce - unripe dates, but fragrant melon and grapefruit and, perhaps, everything), lunch (dietary vegetable soup, chicken and fish stew like pangasius, vegetables, cakes, jelly, wine is average, sometimes the servants wear it from the "ate" tables, if they left a slightly drunk glass, they can stick it to others, they themselves saw it), smile at the servants, but don't let them down, they despise Russians and Ukrainians a little, you can say that you are doctors (we are them) - attitude immediately changes dramatically : ))) dinner is good (meat, fish) it is advisable to speak English, foreigners are given more meat or grilled poultry (everything tasty in the evening you get in turn with a plate: ) alcohol in bars is local, cheap, take it with you from home cocktail recipes and order drink it yourself, if you just say a low-alcohol cocktail, drain all the leftovers from the bottles, pour grenadine syrup on top, I say that you mixed it, answers "Russian Cocktail-Jabber" and so get a more or less decent drink according to the recipe! beach bar: tea, coffee, alcohol, tolerable keg beer, sandwiches, bake waffles and pancakes. Remember the magic words in Arabic Shukran (thank you) Athos (please), they love it, get a quality order. 4. Animation and entertainment: I won’t say for children, on the beach at 11.30 aqua aerobics and dancing, but there were few people, because it’s quite hard and harmful in the heat, after a hearty breakfast, smoothly turning into a beach lunch, jump in pursuit of stroke : ) the music is pleasant, it was rarely loud, in the evening there is live music in the bar near the restaurant, animation in the neighboring SOLSHARM, the most fun is a disco in the bar before going down to the beach, decent music, hookahs. 5. Beach: clean sand, I went barefoot, the entry into the sea is normal, it is better to wear safety shoes, but you can find sandy paths and walk barefoot, the reef is dead, but in the evening a lot of fish swim, there is something to see, snorkelers (and we) go along the shore to Coral-SI beach (the hotel is being renovated), a guard sits near their pontoon, does not fix obstacles (make sure to ask how he is doing? ), the reef is awesome, swim only in shoes, it’s difficult to get ashore, ladders from the pontoon are removed . ropes are tied, you can go back on them or swim over the reef, you can hurt your stomach. 6. Vacationers: there are no complaints at all, I didn’t see any scandals or brawls, 80% are Russians, a few Ukrainians, Italians, Pakistanis, they talked friendly and nice : )) 7. MOSQUITOES and FLIES - hesitated, flies cling to the beach, ate all the time inside the restaurant, mosquitoes do not spare, REID RED and OFFspray will only save you, other plates from mosquitoes do not help, around six in the evening they fumigate the street with stink, after sunset, close the doors to the room . otherwise you will not sleep: ) 8. Departure to the OLD MARKET souvenir market: a bus rides from the hotel (5 tanks -1 person), takes it back in 2 hours, Remember, if you said to get back at 23.45, then it will leave at 23.35-come for 20 minutes. before. We arrived at 23.45, he was gone, the Arabs - taxi drivers surrounded us, barely left for the hotel for 8 bucks, they did not return the money at the hotel. It’s better not to go to the market together, they attack like a gypsy, TIP: don’t ask prices, they are about the same, but they won’t let you out of the kiosk for a long time, and if you don’t buy anything, they will swear in Russian specifically dirty! calculating how much it costs at home minus a third of the price) for example, they sold me a cat from 30 to 7 bucks, they said the Russian mafia : )) I don’t advise GIRLS to even go together, we are all Natasha prostitutes, the attitude is appropriate! eight. We took 2 excursions: to Raz-Muhammed (we went from Tez-Tour, by bus, we are very satisfied, do not forget to take water and dry rations, dinner will be with the Bedouins - DO NOT EAT AT THE BEDOUINS, EVERYONE IS POISED !!! ) then to the mountain of Moses - nothing to do there, 3 hours at night by bus, then, like on Hoverla, 3 hours we climb the mountain along the path with a lantern, thousands of people follow you, Bedouins with camels trudge nearby, it’s very cold, take jackets and hats, climbed to the top, step nowhere, we met the dawn, tired and tortured, we returned to the hotel, despite the fact that we are friends with sports: ((but in general, a good hotel for families, all in greenery, clean, comfortable, the food is fresh, no one got poisoned, the sun is gentle, they didn’t burn out , used the cream, were satisfied with the rest!
