First time in Sharm El Sheikh. In general, I liked it. My review is humorous and extremely positive : ) , I wish the hotel to get better and better!
Further on points.
- Sea. Beautiful, clean but small. Now we will know that this area is not for those who wanted the sea, fish and corals (that was us). It is for lovers of hotel holidays by the pools, water parks, excellent for families with very young children, for people of age and simply who cannot swim.
To plunge into the water you have to go really long. Especially when the tide and the wind. And they seemed to agree to go, but to return from the sea, to the nearest towel, when a strong wind was blowing, only brave local women who bathed fully dressed could. Yes, and on the beach, someone punished should stay for a long time with things (burn out and get a sunstroke), since those who swim from a distance of a kilometer will not see their things.

You can swim in a small area from the pier, where a lot of people usually quickly accumulate, again there is no way to leave your things normally. The same infantile couple of baited fish swim. And very close past with persistent regularity, boats are sailing, rolling noisy screaming "Pryveeeeeet! Kakdilaaaaaaa! " Companies. This is slightly annoying.
But you can adapt, we managed to swim with masks even at a depth of less than a meter, cheered up all the crabs in the area and took all the fish out of their holes)) we still came to see them, in vain we took a lot of masks with snorkels.

-Diving. For the real sea, corals and fish, we went on an excursion on a yacht with diving. 4 hours of exhausting heat while you are waiting for the departure of the yacht and you are in an unrealistically beautiful sea. We had diving for the first time, there is nothing to compare with, but we really liked it. Insanely beautiful fish and large fish in large numbers.
Photo and video shooting is paid separately. If you are a group, dive all together to pay for the photo once.

-Hotel. After the first day of adaptation, the hotel is generally normal, mainly due to the beautiful large area and friendly staff.
The room was cleaned, the first day I had to ask to change the child's bed, add towels, shampoos, water and repair the hair dryer, but there were no further problems, wet cleaning, beds were changed, water and hygiene products were installed. We left tips.
The room is large, on the first floor with a terrace. Near the terrace, the lawn was unpleasantly dirty, packs of cigarettes, a sea of ​ ​ cigarette butts, pipes, napkins and, in addition, a broken ashtray neatly lying right under the steps, and me and the children ...
As a result, we cleaned our lawn ourselves, because it was clear that no one had cleaned there for a long time and was not going to, and further enjoyed the beautiful view.
The next vacationers in the room, I hope, will check out our "subbotnik"))).
There is also a lot of garbage and cigarette butts under any bench or bush. Although in general, if you do not take off your sunglasses and do not peer into the details, it's beautiful)). Kudos to the gardeners.

The area around the pools, paths, are regularly cleaned and washed in the morning. But many of the beds and mattresses are dirty in places and it would be time to renew their old ones. Both on the beach and near the pools.

-Nutrition. Quite varied. Delicious eggplants, fish, pasta, cheeses, lots of sweets, pastries, fruits (grapes, melons, pears, apples, bananas, dates, pomegranates).
It is strange that most salads, including finely chopped salads, are offered to be served with forks or caught with small tongs. It looks like a fishing competition, and at the same time, while it reaches the plate from a fork or tongs, 90% of the catch falls, all the salads are mixed together and fall into the sauces.
Dirty dishes, which were read about in the reviews, thank God, were not observed, as well as dirty floors. The plates are very used, worn, scratched yes, but not dirty. And broken and cracked glasses come across quite often, it's true, you need to be careful when choosing and warn children.

- Bars and restaurants. There is a nice bar on the beach, where a great team works, they make the best cocktails for children, you can have a snack with fresh burgers, pizza, french fries and donuts.
In other restaurants, except for the common central dining room, you need to sign up from 11 to 12. All drinks in restaurants are paid. The Italian restaurant was not very good. There was hope for a delicious wine... but the wine is very specific. And for those who do not have enough meat, on the advice of Zhanna (thank you), we visited the oriental restaurant at the hotel, the food is tasty, plentiful and satisfying. Recommended.

-Water park, relaxation area and swimming pools. I liked the water park, the water is warm, all the slides work by the hour with a lunch break.
Security is monitored. The children's pool, I would call a water park for babies, is very good, I repeat, the hotel is suitable for relaxing with small children.

From what I didn’t like - the anthem “The Union is indestructible ... ” sounding in the area of ​ ​ \u200b\u200bthe water park (that’s what I wouldn’t want to hear at all, not like in Egypt), the songs “on Louboutins”, “beloved name”, “atyatya” and To that similar cheap Russian pop-music. It is clear that the local population does not understand these songs, but we had to close our ears)). It is still desirable to hear neutral relaxation, or world hits.
It is NOT true about the lack of toilets near the pools, if you didn’t find it, it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist, you can ask the staff, there are toilets near all the pools. Glasses, of course, float in the water, a strong wind brings them there. And when they open the tiles around the pool in the evening to clean it, the smell is still there ...
On the first day, when we got acquainted with the territory, some kind of greasy puddle with garbage was floating in the pool near the central building ...The desire to swim in it did not appear until the end of the holiday.
The first time we encountered the fact that a towel was stolen from a sun lounger near the water park ...Be careful, do not relax and do not go all together on the slides, according to the rules for a towel "borrowed" to local Bedouins, a fine of $ 10.

-The free city tour is well worth the trip, they take you to beautiful mosques, a very beautiful Coptic church, an oil factory (here you will buy a lot of oils and teas after a rich tasting), a sweet shop and a local market for tourists. The only negative on your return is that you may not have time for lunch, check with the guide for the time of return and keep track of the time yourself, as tourists linger on sweets, then start going to the hotel for money during delivery ...
And then you run to the dining room to have time to finish the leftovers from dinner ...

-I want to note the oil shop at the hotel, on the last day, apparently from a strong wind, the child had a runny nose and a headache, there was oil at very good prices, also the seller, thanks to him! made an inhalation of a mixture of oils right on the spot, provided, as they say, first aid free of charge. The child's headache disappeared and his nose began to breathe, he slept peacefully at night. The seller (they say that he is a doctor) gives many useful recommendations.


The hotel is definitely not 5*. But in general, I repeat, the rest was a success, beautiful, absolutely all the staff are responsive, friendly, everything will be ok if you go in a good mood and not get hung up on the bad
