We were in this hotel in mid-September. In Egypt for the 12th time. We were very satisfied with the rest, but I’ll say right away that this is a budget hotel and if you have high requirements and high expectations, then you better pick up something more expensive. The great advantage of this hotel is that no matter where you are placed, you will still be close to the sea. The hotel is small. Almost all the staff speaks good Russian. Mostly Russian-speaking and Arabs (somewhere 50 to 50) + very few other foreigners rested in the hotel.
We arrived at the hotel around 11 am. Since the restaurant was already closed, we were offered to have dinner at the bar on the 1st floor in the reception building. Gave a large sandwich with meat to choose from and french fries. But we had to wait about 20 minutes. while they were cooking. We were given a room upon check-out from the hotel in a 3-storey building. The balcony overlooked the pool, with the sea in the background. As already mentioned in previous reviews, the lock in the balcony door did not work, but because. we were on the 2nd floor and the balcony was isolated, we decided not to pay attention to it. There were 2 1.5l bottles of water in the room. They no longer gave bottled water, but this was not a problem, we used the same bottles to draw water from a cooler in a restaurant or bar. There is no kettle in the room. There is a hair dryer, shampoo, shower gel and lotion set 2 times a week.
Beach. The beach is spacious, there were few people on the beach. Entry into the sea only from pantone. Small children can swim near the shore near the pantone, there are small areas without stones. Near the beach of the hotel Tiran Island (2nd line). Behind the turn of the panton hotel Melia Sharm. We have a common territory with them, we can walk around their hotel, use their pantone, go through their reception. You can't just eat and drink with them. The Melia Sharm hotel itself is much larger and more representative than ours. But their pantone is longer and goes to the windy side. When they had waves, our pantone was calm. The coral reef is really beautiful. Although there were few fish, especially large ones, compared to how many there were a couple of years ago. But this is seen as an environmental problem along the entire coast of Sharm. Every day, yachts brought people to swim at the reef next to our hotel. You can swim along the reef as long as you have enough strength. To the right are the pantones of the hotels Melia Sharm (around the corner), Coral Sea Montaza, Baron and the last hotel Sensatorium. To the left after a large section of unfinished buildings (where yachts bring people) is the Siva Sharm Hotel, followed by Hilton Sharks Bay.

Nutrition. The food was good considering the price of the hotel. Breakfasts are standard. Lunches were better. For dinner there was more choice. Fruits were at all receptions, write, but they were not always tasty. The restaurant is small. Everyone could not fit in it at the same time, but if the weather allowed, you could eat on the open-air terrace overlooking the sea. They took very tasty coffee in bars (much better than in a restaurant). On the beach we bought a delicious mango fresh juice - $ 3 a large glass.
Animation. Was every evening. There are several Russian-speaking animators. We were only at the fire show (fire show) - a spectacular sight, worth a look. You can walk along the road along the sea towards Melia Sharm, then there will be an unfinished hotel, then the road continues and goes along the hotel Coral Sea Montaza, Baron and Sensatori. By the way, there is free Wi-Fi near the Baron (there is no free Wi-Fi in our hotel). Between Baron and Sensatori there is a small street with souvenir shops. Fins, masks, sunbathing cosmetics can be bought at the hotel next to the bar on the 1st floor in the reception building.
There were no mosquitoes, although they were not poisoned with smelly gas, as they do in other hotels.
We climbed to the lighthouse - from there a very beautiful view.
The hotel has a bus to Naama Bay ($3 round trip) and the Old Market ($4). But if there are not enough people, the bus does not run. Money can only be exchanged for pounds at an ATM. Although you can pay for everything in $. Just take more small bills, otherwise there are problems with change.
We left at night. Our wristbands were not taken away when we checked out the room, so we were able to eat and take drinks until we left.
