We rested at least ten times in Egypt, the same number in Turkey. There were no special expectations from the four, so I will try to write objectively.
We bought a ticket very inexpensively for a promotion in MistoTravel (a trip to Europe is planned and paid for soon, so we saved a little money in Egypt).
For 200 USD per person we got a wonderful holiday by the sea in the dead of winter. In general, we are satisfied.
Now in order.
Flight Kyiv-Sharm from TUI without problems. At the airport, we bought a data-sim card from Orange, 10 dollars 10+6 GB, at the kiosk, even without asking, they immediately installed it, set it up, and showed the rest of the traffic. They have full respect, I distribute the Internet to three phones, it works without problems.
We arrived at the hotel at 8, settled at 10. For 10 bucks and a request to give a large room with a large balcony (already suggested by vacationers), they gave it. On the ground floor, access to the heated pool.

The number is a solid three. Old battered furniture, a barely closing door to the balcony, an old TV set. In principle, it’s not very scary, but we were told that there are really dead rooms. So it's better to give some at the reception.
The area is small but very well maintained. All in the old Egyptian style. Cool. Three pools, two cold, one very warm, you can sit for a very long time. The sunbeds near the pools are half-killed, but the beach towels are beautiful, huge and new.
On the sea carries a bus, tickets at the reception, five minutes drive or 20 minutes walk, it does not bother. The beach is beautiful, the entrance is sandy, it's a long walk, but the sea is beautiful and not cold. The bar on the beach does not work, there is no drinking water, everything is with you. There are a lot of places, and the sunbeds on the beach are very decent. True, Arab yachts are standing nearby, one was washed, so half an hour carried a solarium both in the sea and on the shore.
Wifi only in the lobby.
From vacationers - Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhs, a little Russians and a little Arabs. In general, a normal contingent.
Cleaned normally, change of towels, bed daily. True, it is not recommended to leave valuables outside the safe in the rooms, they steal. This is in the reviews, we heard this from vacationers.
About what's really bad.
All stamped with austerity. Starting from the number of staff, ending with dishes and bars.
With food somehow tolerable. Five or six side dishes (potatoes, spaghetti or horns, rice, beans, baked vegetables), meat and chicken are a must, fish less often. Cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, melon, citrus fruits are always available. Delicious cheeses and extremely inedible sausages. Soup three times a day. Coffee - self-pouring from instant, cola and Pepsi without restrictions. There was never yogurt, and this is sadness.

Dinner - grill on the balcony of the main restaurant, chops, kebab, grilled chicken. But! There are very few dishes. Cups everywhere are either disposable or plastic. You won’t find bowls for soup, even pour them into coffee cups. The tables are not cleaned in the process, dirty napkins and dead flies lie on them. And although there is food, everyone is trying to get to the beginning of the meal, queuing and throwing - like on Black Friday in a shoe store. Meat dishes are released in portions, those who come for the supplement are stupidly ignored. Only the feeling of relaxation saves frozen Arab chefs from insults and scuffle)))
With alcohol, real well... Beer is excellent bottled, in small glasses. Brandy somehow, a purely Egyptian version, but you can drink it. Sambuca, which was preferred by Belarusians, not spoiled at home with an abundance of alcohol, is nauseating. Vodka is not vodka. Everything is diluted and everything is constantly ending. It's very stressful. Once every two hours, alcohol runs out for an hour)))
In a bar near a warm pool, it looks very funny. A barely hobbled Arab slowly hobbles to the reception bar and brings one or two bottles of sambuca and a couple of bottles of beer. He doesn't have time to pour it out for those standing in line, when everything ends and he hobbles again. We have never seen anything like this anywhere.
Lovely bartender Mo in the lobby bar. Long-winded and always cheerful. Big respect to him. Brightens up rest.
By the way, almost the entire staff can be explained in Russian.
Outcome. Egyptian four - only for an inexpensive or unpretentious holiday. If it's very cheap - come, you won't regret it, like us. Expensive - by no means.
All good trips)))
