We rested in Sharm for the first time, before that we were in Hurghada, at the Sunny_Day 5 * hotel. The cost of the tour is $930 for 2 people. , all inclusive, 7 days. We chose an inexpensive hotel in order to travel more on excursions, where there is a beach with a good reef. The points:
1. The beach lived up to expectations, a wonderful reef, a moray eel (1.5m) lives on the right near the pontoon, we watched every day until lunch, some of the vacationers saw reef sharks, a big turtle, we were not lucky; to the sea about 13 minutes, it’s not convenient that it’s past the construction site, but the bus regularly carries it. Several hotels rest on this beach, but they all fit
2. The hotel-accommodation is wonderful, next to the entertainment complex "Thousand and One Nights" - to the left of the hotel, the shopping center "El Mercato" - to the right, across the road - there are like European shops, a bank, there we took 4 excursions from Zhora, with them you can ride, in front of the hotel some weirdo also sold tickets, but we were afraid to ride from him.
At the reception at the settlement, they frankly asked for money, we did not give it, the offended Arab settled us in room 219 (family) -1st floor, the balcony overlooks the pool, a number of 2 rooms, a large hall, a bedroom, a kitchen, a stove, hair dryer was present, a bit broken, but worked. I don’t know what the catch was, maybe that there was no safe, they promised to give a safe at the reception, these are such portable iron boxes, but tomorrow, we forgot to go for it, because we considered it safer to put money, documents and laptop, and close the lock. Once they forgot to close, nothing was missing. After that, they left a dollar each, so the cleaners began to twist all sorts of figures from towels, called repairmen to repair the faucet, we didn’t notice that something was broken there, they were extremely friendly, but not intrusive.
The most negative thing is the smell, there was some kind of chemical smell in the room (presumably they poisoned cockroaches), weathered for three days, but did not completely disappear, when we complained we were sprinkled with some sweet garbage, it got even worse. The neighbors had the same problem.
For that alone, I would choose a different hotel next time. The window cannot be opened at night, the darkness of mosquitoes, although they were poisoned every day on the territory of the hotel, they could put nets on the windows. Be sure to take mosquito repellent.
The furniture is broken, but it's almost everywhere in Egypt, maybe. exception new hotels.
3. Food - we liked it, they cooked well, the waiters were zealous, the pastries were excellent, the drawback was that there were few fruits. We went to the metro and to the old town to the market, it is open until 24 hours, and maybe longer.
In the old city, everything is cheaper, the variety of fruits is large, it takes about 30 minutes to walk, we took mangoes of all kinds, from 18 to 30 pounds (1 dollar -6 pounds), pomegranates from 1-2 dollars, ashta-30 pounds, well, I really liked it similar to thick yogurt. Haggle, change money beforehand, they won't give you change. There is also a stage in the market where all sorts of performances and dances take place. Taxi to the hotel - 2 dollars, if you want more, move on, we have never paid more.
We went to the Fares fish restaurant, spent 50 dollars for 2 people
4. Animation - there is no entertainment at the hotel, near the bar on the pool there is a modest booze, once there was a type of belly dancing, the level was such that they clapped with pity. But in front of you is the whole Sharm with its discos, we didn’t go very tired
5. Excursions - we went by jeeps to the colored canyon and to Dahab, snorkeling in the Blue Hole (Abu Galum) -40 dollars, well, I really liked it;
Jerusalem -70 dollars; on a boat with two dives - 80 (who has certificates of training scuba divers), without dives - 30; bus tour to the reserve Ros Mukhamed-25
Vouchers in the tour operator, almost twice as expensive; if you are not traveling with your tour operator, dry rations are not given (in other hotels, in particular, in Aloha, they give)
Do not buy souvenirs on excursions, everything is cheaper in the old city
In Sharm we liked it more than in Hurgal, we were satisfied with the rest, which is what we wish you
