The hotel is located in a very convenient location near the beach. In a pedestrian zone, among many shops and restaurants (there is even a McDonald's). This is a big plus compared to many other hotels. Dinner for two (with alcohol) in street restaurants will cost about 300 Egyptian pounds. The menu is served in Russian. Large selection of seafood. To exchange money (for eg. pounds), there are special ATMs with an incomprehensible menu everywhere. There are also change offices with people, but there are fewer of them.
Employees of the hotel (unlike sellers on the street) do not know Russian well. You have to communicate more in English using gestures or through a guide. The hotel has several bad rooms (they were mentioned earlier), which spoil the overall picture (especially if you get into them). There were cases of petty theft of money from the rooms. Put your passports and money in safes (in the room or at the reception). Whoever travels for the first time - be sure to find out on the website of your tour operator the concept and schedule of your holiday at the hotel (it will be easier for you). In a restaurant, you take food indoors, and order drinks on the street (there are also tables for food and a bar - not to be confused with a pool bar).
For those who know how to swim with a mask and snorkel (others do not make any sense), I recommend visiting an excursion to the Ras Mohammed Marine Reserve. If you are not a serious diver, then it is easier and cheaper to buy a mask and snorkel near the hotel. Just don't jump on the first one you see! To get started, be sure to ask the price and look in different places - this is the rule for any purchases in Sharm El Sheikh. For example - the price for the same watch in the shopping center opposite the hotel on two different floors (and different shops) can differ by half.

The main thing - the mood for a good rest! And do not pay attention to minor flaws.
