The most important condition was that the trip to Egypt was not through JoinUP.
We chose hotels for a long time and waited for a "hot" tour, and now this hotel appeared in the "hot" ones.
UIA flew - this is a separate conversation, since the last time we flew to Sierra was in 2011, that is, there is nothing to compare with. In 2018, UIA is a tough low-cost airline - the seats are uncomfortable, they no longer feed during the flight, luggage is not added, but 23 kg per person and 7 kg of hand luggage
We arrived at the hotel around 23.30 - naturally hungry (it's good that we took a couple of packs of cookies and waffles from Kyiv). For 20 additional dollars at the reception, they settled in a room that was not 60m2, but 90m2, which could not please. From the reception, we were taken to the room in an electric car along with our things.

The room is good 5210, but a bit far from the reception and from the dining room with the pool. There was one large comfortable bed in the room, but since we had another 10-year-old child with us, naturally there should have been an extra bed, but there was none.
After calling the reception for 15 minutes, they brought an extra bed and replaced the non-working kettle with a new one)))

In the morning we went to meet the guide from Joyce TOUR. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER - order anything from them. I have never seen such a tough swindler in our 4 trips to Egypt. All excursions are now built on how to make more money on tourists.
A tour of Sharm was promised without shopping trips, but there were trips to the supposedly official state candy store and the state oil shop. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THERE - THERE, even with 50% discounts for groups, prices are 100% higher than everywhere else)))) They will deceive you that oils are not released from SHARM without certificates - do not believe it - no one checked the oils if they are packed in baggage

There are no complaints about the hotel itself. The shuttle to the beach runs every 30 minutes starting at 8.00.
As for food, the only complaint is that it is very spicy, but this is due to the fact that summer is the time of rest for the Egyptians. The whole kitchen is adjusted to them - in autumn-winter-spring this will not happen - the kitchen will be European. Drinks - powdered juices, bottled Pepsi and draft beer. Well, all local drinks are included. I do not advise you to drink wine, as it is terrible - both red and white

Pleased with the presence of ice cream from the freezer every day from 15 to 16.00 in the pool bar. Also in this pool there are 3 slides good for kids

Super animators - constantly some kind of movement with vacationers

The beach is small, shared with Jolie Ville Golf, but there is enough space for everyone. There are 3 pontoons with a short (20 meters) approach, between which you can swim and admire the reef and fish.
