It was the worst holiday and hotel we have ever stayed in! ! !
We bought a ticket to Melia Sinai on the recommendation of the tour operator Turhata. We were assured that this is a class 5 Spanish hotel, calm, but not very new, there is a Melia Sharm hotel with a huge territory, built in 2010, and it doesn’t make sense to buy a ticket to Melia Sharm, everything is the same, you overpay only for the territory and new furniture, because this is a hotel chain and one owner (it turned out that everything was completely different, we met the guys who had a rest in Melia Sharm and paid the same as we did and also from Coral Travel). Melia Sharm is really 5 stars, Melia Sinai is hardly 3, by the way, the guide from Coral, who accompanied us to the airport, said that the hotel is 3 stars, we didn’t even have time to say anything, it turns out they all know they just soar to us here .
We arrived at the hotel in the morning, check-in from 14.00, begging for money to settle earlier, but this is not an innovation, and did not surprise.

They immediately put on bracelets and said you can walk, swim, eat, don’t get fooled by this ! ! ! We went to the dining room, that’s right, it’s hard to call it a restaurant, there’s nothing special to pick something up there, and then at the reception they paid $ 16 for food, like we were supposed to eat at 2 pm. Settled earlier without money, but with cries. The reception staff is very arrogant, in plain text they demand money, they even name the amounts. The hotel is dead, the rooms are dead, the plumbing is broken, the light didn’t work all the time, the masters were called a couple of times, as in 2004 the hotel was built, nothing has changed, we assumed this, so we weren’t upset. The only thing that upset me was the ancient air conditioner, which does not cool much, but buzzes like a chainsaw and so all night, it’s unrealistic to sleep, or you can’t sleep from the heat or from the noise.
The food is very bad. When we read the reviews, we thought that people were just snickering and carping. It turned out not. Juices, wine, ice cream, cocktails - all from powder, like UPI.
There are no juices from the packages, wine is also from a powder machine, if you want in a bottle - $ 25. Killed by dirt, terrible unsanitary conditions. The air conditioner does not work in the dining room, they say there are problems (but no one even tries to solve them) you can’t open the windows, like flies and sparrows fly in, but the fact that there is a leaky net on the door and a bunch of flies is nothing, flies sit everywhere just like a blanket from flies - on tables, dishes, on all products, no one even thinks to curse them, kill them, sparrows fly on all tables, products, peck bread, rolls, fruits - and this is the norm there, no one scolds them. And the clothes of the staff are dirty and stained. The floor is sticky, a lot of food is lying around, no one cares. You come to eat, it just makes you want to vomit from this whole species.
There are no fruits, they are peeled, cut and soaked in some kind of syrups (by the way, I saw this for the first time for a rest), so that it would not be visible that they are rotten (I managed to beg a couple of whole oranges and peaches a couple of times, it’s unrealistic to eat them, everything is rotten) oranges without juice, melons are green, like grass, and sometimes sour; watermelons as you get, they are normal, or pink, none - even though they were cut in front of you. Here you can eat dates, and then you have to smell each one, too, sour ones come across. From vegetables, sour tomatoes (in most cases) and dry cucumbers, a couple of times there was a holiday for 1o days there was green pepper, although in the evening you could eat a vegetable salad cut in front of you.

The meat is beef (in most cases, hard) and chicken, which they also managed to spoil. All food is very salty and peppery. 20.07-they started Ramadan, they don’t eat, they probably cook by eye-in short, this is horror! ! !
Side dishes: you can eat pure rice and pasta, without any sauces.
Maracons in a frying pan with the pulp of tomatoes, the stench is unreal, they take many then sniff and set aside on the edge of the table. . Potatoes in slices, never eaten normal (hard, sluggish, not fried / not boiled); puree-salted with a burnt smell.
Sweets were the same rolls, the dough was the same - they changed their appearance and dyes of different colors were added. A couple of times there was a holiday they gave baklava, that's all you could try, and then if you manage to take it, well, not 5 stars. Any product that you put on a plate should be smelled. Three meals a day, Lunch at 13.00, dinner at 19.00, no snacks, it was wildness, if you missed something, sit hungry. In between, you can drink instant coffee from sticks or tea with morning rolls that you haven’t eaten. It is scary to get there with a child, except for a boiled egg and rice, there is nothing else to eat, and only water from dirty glasses to drink. She took water several times at the bottom with sand.
The dishes are washed disgustingly, especially the glasses on the bars, take the straws and then until they run out. A lot of people had severe poisoning, for 3 days people did not leave their rooms.
The pools and near them were cleaned symbolically, and then at 7-8 in the morning when a lot of people were already sunbathing, around 18.00 they poured 2 buckets of bleach into the pool compartment, despite the fact that we had a lot of children. At about 17.00, when they are still resting near the pool, they begin to poison insects - this is thick smoke with a very pungent smell, if you have time to grab your things and run into the room.
Every day we counted the days until departure. And they reproached themselves for taking the tour not for a week, but for 9 days.
The only thing that pleased me was the sea, a short pankton, beautiful fish.


It’s a pity for the money, the ticket is not cheap, especially since we didn’t have a request for the cheapest one, we just wanted to have a good rest. We talked with many on excursions and on the plane, people rested much cooler, for the same money or even a little less, it's a shame!
We ourselves went to Melia Sharm, saw a restaurant, a variety of food, cleanliness, and the guys paid the same money.
Who thinks to go to this hotel - People change their minds, for the sake of their own health!
