We rested in Monte Carlo with children (the youngest is 10 years old) from September 3 to 10.2025. The tour cost 89 thousand hryvnias for three people for seven nights. We arrived at 12 - they immediately put on bracelets (which was very pleasing) and offered a room. It turned out that we had a paid room, which is located near the water park, and this is the farthest corner of the hotel, and to settle closer, you need to officially pay 98.140 or 160 dollars for the entire period. The farthest corner is a seven-minute walk to the sea, and there are electric cars driving around the territory that take you there, and the water park is close to the child, so we decided to leave everything as it is. The room (like all the rooms in the hotel) is large, with a nice balcony, with a spacious bathroom, without renovation, but everything is very well maintained. Excellent soundproofing. Air conditioning and sockets work 24/7 even without inserting a card. There is a safe, but our documents in an A-4 folder did not fit, so we kept everything in a suitcase under lock and key. Cleaning every day, changing towels, delivery of cosmetics, tea, coffee. The refrigerator is filled with various drinks, water is delivered daily, a kettle, glasses, cups, not paper cups. Swans are spinning on the bed, the boy is attentive and polite. The only thing I didn't like is the door to the room and bathroom, and the locks, it needs renovation. The path to the sea and the restaurant is through a well-groomed green area, which is watered and trimmed 24/7. The area is cascaded, so you enter the lobby on the first floor, and to get to the restaurant you need to go down to minus three, and there is no elevator. If you have difficulty walking, it is better not to choose cascade hotels. There are several restaurants, but we used the main one and the bars located by the pool, we did not sign up for a la carte. And the concept of the hotel is cool: you can find food and drinks here 24/7! The cuisine is delicious and varied. For breakfast there is fresh fruit of different flavors (not all hotels can boast of this), and the standard: smoked fish, falafel, omelets, sausages, cheeses, vegetables, various side dishes, dried apricots and other dried fruits, a huge selection of fruits and delicious buns, which are baked only in Egypt. The waiters are attentive and skillful: tables are quickly served, a guy walks around the hall with drinks and serves vacationers. Lunch, dinner - a lot of meat and fish, grill, three types of soups, oriental sweets and various cakes. Interesting alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, ice cream and fast food at the bars. Coffee machines are located throughout the hotel, I tried different coffees, I liked the espresso macchiato. The beach is gorgeous, multi-tiered, each tier offers a divine view of the sea. There are always free sunbeds with an umbrella, the sunbeds are wooden, strong, with new, comfortable mattresses. The pontoon is new, wooden with four descents to the sea, you can swim from it to both sides. Sometimes one side is closed, this is due to the direction of the current, but there was never a red flag in a week. Very beautiful live reef and many colorful large and small fish, I have not seen such diversity in other hotels (Sierra, Hilton). The beach is cleaned, the paths, pontoon, mattresses are washed. Also nearby is a large swimming pool, where there is animation every day. The children had something to do. The only thing that was not very convenient was that you had to carry a beach towel from your room, and it was huge… The animation worked well, so if you weren’t going anywhere outside the area, there was something to do at the hotel. In the evenings, there were various performances by the pool or in the amphitheater. There is no promenade outside the area, like in hotels near Soho, but you can take a taxi and go anywhere you want, the main thing is to bargain with the taxi driver. We went to the Old Town for 3 dollars (for everyone), and to Soho Square for five dollars per person (we bought it from our guide). By the way, the guides are no longer as rude as they used to be, they are friendly and polite, and the prices offered for excursions are adequate. We went to the Mango supermarket for free, nothing special, an ordinary Egyptian store, it’s just convenient that everything is in one city, and there is also a pharmacy next to it at good prices. Internet is available throughout the territory, but in cities it is weak, you can't always send photos or contact people. If you need it for work, it's better to have your own. On the way back, our flight was delayed for 10 hours, so at 12 we checked in and remained hotel guests and used everything except the room until departure, because they don't remove the bracelets here. This is a very big plus, not every hotel has such a concept. Sharm is a wonderful place to relax, the sea is incomparable, it's the only one on our planet, so I will always go here. The choice of hotels in Sharm is up to every taste. And I like to relax in a different hotel every time. But I ask myself: would I come to Monte Carlo again for a vacation? I answer: With pleasure!? ?
