It was the second time in this hotel. This is a Spanish hotel chain. Really normal, nothing to complain about. The main plus is the beach is very close, go down to it 300 meters from the room. They gave a good room, with a balcony, on the 2nd floor. - without any surcharges. All the staff speaks Russian, even the cleaners. Housekeeping was good even without dollars. Very interesting animation, there were concerts every evening. Disco in the hotel every day for free and beach party too. There were mosquitoes, although the area around the hotel was disinfected every day. The food in the dining room is as close as possible to ours, but it is still very far from ours. But tea and sweets are excellent. (Diarrhea pills still need to be taken). Drinks according to the ALL system - after 23.00 - for a fee (except for water in coolers). They don't have much water. It is better to buy in bottles, but not at the hotel for 8 eg. pounds, and in the supermarket on the way to the beach - for 2 eg. pounds. In their stores everything is cheaper if you pay in pounds. There were always enough sunbeds on the beach. True, to see the corals, you need to walk along the coastline to the Sol Melia hotel, because they are not allowed to dive from the neighboring Baron for free, and because. Sol Melia is a hotel from the same hotel chain as Sol Sharm, you can get it for free. Excursions are a separate issue, but I want to say that Turtesse's buses are "killed" with broken seats and absolutely not comfortable, as the hotel guide promises, so long-distance bus excursions are difficult. We spent only 2.5 hours on a tour of historical monuments, the rest of the time 3.5 hours we were taken to expensive shops with dubious goods, from which our tour guide had a percentage of the profit. Summary: if I'm in Egypt for the third time - I'll take this hotel again.
