as it turned out in the process, this is the base hotel for Join Up.
arrival, etc. everything is as always - shinai only on cards and forward to the bus.
90% of the bus was to this hotel : ) The hotel is almost at the stop - people are taken to it to the maximum, it is not possible to extend the room for a late departure ...
upon arrival, they took their passports at 9.00 and sent them to breakfast.
Wristbands were not issued - they said not to be on site.
Receptionist - A monument to the girl Olga should be erected, she is exactly the person who is trying very hard to help tourists, unlike the Arab Jordan. All appeals to the reception desk are promptly decided by the Russian-speaking staff, it is useless to wait for the Arabs to listen to you - they don't care! ! ! The same girl Olga, having completed the documents at 10.00, offered several rooms to choose from and herself suggested what to take. Thanks again Olga!

Rooms - clean good room, good furniture, new thin TV, cola and fanta bar, climate, etc.
Towels were in the room packed in a special beach bag.

Of the jambs - the bed was brought to the child only in the morning of the next day, and then after a call to the receptionist Olga.

The beach - the beach itself is great, the sea was warmer than the pools, and the reef is just lovely! ! ! fish are very diverse. the panton is very short - literally 10 meters. on the beach there are 3 lagoons not large where you can enter waist-deep for a person with a height of 1.90, there is sand and children play in them. there is a stationary dive club on the beach - the instructors are good, the price is now 25 for 20 minutes to swim with an instructor along the reef.
The trouble with the beach is that there are fewer sunbeds than vacationers. People come at 7 in the morning to book sunbeds ...as they figured out until 11 in the morning, they rested by the pool on top and at 11 there are already free places, and from 12 there are already half the beach.
On the beach there is a beer and a cafe with a snack - they give shawarma, french fries, beer (from alcohol on the beach only beer) cola, fanta, etc. , you can also buy mangoes on the beach for 2 ye - huge ripe mangoes, what you see in supermarkets in Ukraine and did not stand next to those fruits.

Pools - there is a pool with slides - we were there once and didn’t go there again ...There is a relax pool in the middle of the hotel - so remember if you have children you CANNOT GO THERE! ! ! that's all you can't. the laughter of children greatly interferes with the rest of the Germans ...there is nothing more to say for me, it was the height of shame ...
the pool by the sea is beautiful, but it was already cold. people take panoramic photos there.

and now the pain of this hotel - RESTAURANTS

since 2009, I have not seen a more terrible service in restaurants than in this hotel in Egypt. 1 restaurant for the whole hotel was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner! ! ! There is only one restaurant for the entire hotel! ! ! the rest for money and there are already 4 more ...
when entering a restaurant, you have the feeling that you are at the Kiev railway station in a pot-bellied hut ...there are more people than chairs, in the literal sense of the word, they may not be allowed into the restaurant until the tables are vacated. food - if you are waiting for an assortment and variety, then it’s better to forget, all you will see every day for breakfast is scrambled eggs and two types of sausages (buns are always there and delicious), for dinner there are two types of pasta ala pasta, short potatoes, beans, a couple options for salads and chicken or kebab change on different days to at least somehow diversify. they cook delicious! and we must pay tribute to the chef - there, at the age of a man, he is trying to somehow influence the blockage in the restaurant, but it is clear that there are simply not enough waiters and there is no way to make a larger assortment.
for the whole restaurant there is one bar where there are always no glasses to pour drinks, there is a huge queue in which everyone has one question - how is it that there are no glasses then? ? ?
there are very pleasant waiters who run around with their tongues hanging out and try in this horror to somehow smooth the corners with visitors, there are also those who stupidly wanted to spit that there are no forks on the table, he will still be indignant that you are not happy that you ask him for 15 minutes a fork but he can't bring it.

Bars - people write about cocktails, but they are prepared. but you need to understand from what ...all the bars have machines from which juice is poured - do not drink this drink, these are soluble UPIs that will not turn out to be good for your health. cola fanta sprite - excellent, bottled on the same machines in all bars, beer is normal, alcohol is strong - local but not very bad. Episodes have no glasses at the evening entertainment in the amphitheater.


Animators - great fellows. everything where they participate is interesting and thoughtful. for children at 20.30 minidisco.

in general - an excellent hotel in terms of location and accommodation, but sadness is the trouble with restaurants and bars.
can it be classified as a 5 star now - no, alas, this is a good 4k but not 5 stars.

Do not listen to salespeople from agencies - it is profitable for them to sell basic hotels, in fact you find yourself in a hotel stuffed to capacity, in which they don’t particularly bother with vacationers because the bus left the bus arrived. Next door is Sharm Plaza - almost empty, with a chic territory, and believe me, in a hotel that is not packed, they will follow you around and blow off dust particles. And for a couple of bucks at the bar, you will be presented with any cocktails, and even with natural juices, but this is all on a pro reef oasis.

we were leaving it was already cool - now it is already cool there at 16.00 on the beaches once again I will write in the pools the water is colder than the sea.
