Let me start by saying that we are in Egypt for the 2nd time. Before that, we rested in Sharm at the Sharm Seti 4 * hotel. If we compare these two

hotel, then it's heaven and earth in favor of Blue Bay.
In the hotel, 80 percent are not Slavs. The hotel does not issue bracelets, so until you speak Russian, no one knows where you came from. At the same time, the staff for the most part understands Russian tolerably well. And if you know another language (Italian, English, German), then there will be no problems with communication at all. There are few young people in the hotel. There are very, very many foreign pensioners who love to dump their boobs on the beach. The spectacle, of course, is not for everybody. So the hotel is quiet and absolutely calm. In the evening, the territory is empty, no one staggers along the paths - only the staff working on the lawns is visible.
Territory and infrastructure of the hotel: very green well-groomed with lots of flowering plants. Hotel

really big and it takes about 5 minutes to go to the sea from the farthest building. For the lazy, it constantly runs

bus. The buildings are well maintained, clean, all 2-storey. On the 2nd floor of the rooms - a balcony, on the 1st - a terrace. We had

standard room in the 5th building on the 2nd floor. They cleaned normally: the first 5 days were cleaned by one cleaner - dollars did not

influenced the quality of cleaning, and for the next 5 days the shift changed - they began to twist the patterns from the bedspreads. Towels

baths were changed frequently. The bathroom was certainly not in perfect condition, but tolerable.
There are several pools on the territory of the hotel: for relaxation - calm and quiet, where children are not allowed to swim;

a swimming pool with three slides - where you can actively relax and near which animators are constantly spinning; swimming pool

around the lobby (consists of several parts) a deep part with a sea view and a children's part. In all pools

there is a chipped tile at the bottom, so their condition cannot be called ideal.
However, they are all quite well-groomed.

and clean. Above the beach there is a jacuzzi from which you can watch the sea and the beach. In general, everything stated in the description

hotel pools are open.
Along the paths between the buildings you can see hammocks, which even gives the hotel some charm.
Beach: large, as stated in the description of the hotel. There are a lot of sun loungers, there has always been a place - apparently this is also due to the fact that many tourists swim in the pools and do not reach the sea. Panton is short, the reef is more or less inhabited.
So take a mask - there will be something to see. There are four elevators down to the beach. Also, several sand entrances to the sea have been made for children, and fencing with buoys will show where the corals begin.
Food: there are two main restaurants and a bunch of bars. The main restaurants are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bars are located on the beach and near each pool. The food was quite varied: fruits, different types of meat, Danone yoghurts, ice cream.

True, a couple of times for dinner there were a lot of spicy dishes, but there is something to eat. What surprised me right away: in the restaurant you are taken to the place by the administrator and served quickly enough. Who wants a special relationship - pays a tip, and the waiters will kiss them on the ass and joyfully meet them. The main restaurants have high chairs for babies. The tables are cleared quickly enough, the tablecloths are always clean.
Animation: who is used to running around and constantly pestering him - local animation is not for you. Everything is calm here, animators almost do not appear on the beach. They mostly hang out near the pools. In the evening, a weak performance and, in fact, all the animation. At night, there is a disco in the "Carribean bar" near the lobby.
Shopping: There is a street with shops on the territory of the hotel. There is also a pharmacy and souvenirs. Expensive, you have to bargain. Our goal was not to buy souvenirs, so we did not go to Naama Bay.
Everything you need was bought on the spot after a long and painful auction.
What else: we took a free Sinai visa (did not buy a visa for 15 bucks). In fact, you can travel with it from Sinai to another country (Israel, Jordan), you can go to nature reserves. The only restriction is that you cannot travel around Egypt (to Cairo, etc. ). I advise you to discuss this point with the travel agency in advance - after all, there is no savings.
