Rested great. But as always, there are nuances. Since this was the 9th vacation in Sharm, I will try to be as objective as possible. Let's start with the good.
Pros:
beautiful clean territory with three pools, a gazebo and a stream, it's a pity the stream did not work, a beautiful reception with a fountain, a dome and a compote, a lot of greenery, a large beach.
the sea is beautiful and clean, but there is no such direct variety of corals as described in the comments before. Beautiful, yes, but it has often been more beautiful.
The animation team is fun and friendly. The guys give all the best, for which I thank them. The shows are also good, the performance of the dancer with skirts was especially beautiful (I don’t know what to call these devices, but it’s wonderful).
A huge plus was that the drinks at the bars were poured not from an incomprehensible barrel stirred three times, but directly from the bottle. The first hotel in which there were packaged juices, very tasty, 5 types.

From all the rooms to the sea it's a minute, and even more so on the elevator. The food is tasty and good, 2 types of soups for lunch, two more types for dinner, vegetables, pasta (by the way, it’s very tasty, I don’t know who it was raw), desserts (especially pancakes with bananas and baklava), figs, dates, two types grapes, grapefruits, pears and oranges. There was a melon, but green, watermelon only as a decoration (but this did not stop the very hungry tourists). Delicious cheese for breakfast. The pool bar immediately upon arrival fed delicious pizza, potatoes and ice cream. At what they will carry you with the expectation of one pizza for the whole plate, potatoes, slalata, a sandwich and fruit for one, so you need to be able to stop them in time). There are hand sanitizers outside the restaurant and bar. Delicious ice cream, again, take as much as you want, and not only for children and only 1 (it happened).
Loyal attitude of lifeguards on the pontoon. Swim at least at 5 am, at least at 8 pm.
Even the lifeguard himself, by the way, a very good guy, used to sit right up to sunset and did not forbid anyone to swim, although he had a working day until 6. knee began to yell. At 17.50 they caught up on the boat and whistled at full power so that they would run across the water to the pontoon, since the sea was closed. On the day of departure, they allowed the cards to be left on the towel until the transfer arrived (for the first time), the bracelets were cut off, but since the bus at night and the problematic exit (further) had dinner and drinks with a calm face without bracelets, no one said anything.
Minuses
Room cleaning was poor, mirror wall between room and shower was leaking a bit. Regardless of whether there is a dollar or not, the bed was simply turned over by the other side. The couch for the 3rd person was brought creepy, low and all as if gnawed. The toilet was not sealed with tape at check-in.
But since they came to the room to sleep, and from it there was a quick exit to the restaurant and they did not change to the beach. It would also be nice to update the lobby bar, the interior resembles an old sanatorium.
There are really a lot of locals, and yes, there was a guy who distributed food to ''his'' without a queue and 4 times more than others, but soon another was put in his place. In addition to the fact that I once saw how they washed their children's intimate places right into the sea, they did not cause any inconvenience.

Conclusions: the price of the hotel is affordable, so don't go here for ultra luxury and a royal restaurant. But for the price the hotel is very good. Since we do not go for a clean blanket or eat a belly, the disadvantages are very very small against the background of the advantages. Hope to visit again. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

I will write separately about the Anex tour robot.

The flight to Kyiv was supposed to be at 21 kopecks. The day before departure, I received an SMS that the flight was being postponed by almost one in the morning.
We went to the guide to ask if the departure from the hotel was postponed. He said that there was no information, everything was according to plan and the departure remained at 6 pm, he said that he would call Kyiv only at 4 on the day of departure. We arrived at 4, maybe you already thought of it or looked at the airport's online scoreboard? At 4 days, all the guides of the anex disappeared as if on cue. Ok, we got together at 6, when they asked the guide if they called them from Kyiv, he began to be rude. Then he made a smart face and told an hour that the bus was delayed, and only after an hour of promises did he announce the unexpected news that the bus would be at half past ten. It turned out that besides us, a bunch of people approached them and said that the flight was postponed. When they began to resent his work, he yelled that they had no right to watch his badge (uh, what was he for then? ), He covered his name with his hand and disappeared. Since there were a lot of people leaving, two buses were brought in.
Instead of gathering everyone in the hall and giving the bus number, they waited until everyone got out and started stuffing their luggage into the first bus in order to read the names and bus number by shining a flashlight in the dark. There was also a lot of confusion, since the surnames were not pronounced the way they sound, he added his own letters or cut them off (although it was written in English). I had to look and read my own.
