We went to Rehana Resort 4 *, but there were no places.
They offered to move to Rehana Beach 5 * even for free, but, even considering that the guide was constantly negotiating with the hotel reception, we settled in three !! ! hours and then only the arrival of the hotel manager.

Accommodation.
The porter carried the bag in his hands, putting it in the room with all his appearance showed that a tip was needed, for good artistry he received his own.
The room was given in the fifth building, yes it is large, but how clumsy it looks. The style of the room is Japanese, the partition divides the room into two rooms, in one there is a solid double bed, in the second there were single beds.
In the hallway, the handles from the cabinets fell out when touched, they were not screwed. The safe is tightly closed, a specially called employee was able to reach the room only half a day later and open it in two seconds (this is also another story).
The toilet is large, combined with a shower cubicle.

The shaving mirror was held on the wall only by the light wires.
Wash stains on floors and furniture. The cleaning quality dollar left didn't change.
In short, the number causes such a strange feeling, but oh well, we didn’t go for the number.

Food.
It’s scary to look at salads: cabbage, green lettuce look unwashed and weathered, tomatoes (yes, tomatoes! ) have a smell and taste that have begun to sour (if you dig deeper, you can find normal slices).
Therefore, the bulk of the break to the hot rack. He himself tried to take what was cooked right away (scrambled eggs, fried eggs for breakfast; spaghetti, sandwiches - for lunch; well, they fry for dinner, cook on the balcony).
The food on the beach is also a little shocking: french fries and a piece of meat in a bun. You can try once, but after that they began to go for lunch, although they did not plan to.
Regarding drinks - yes, beer is poured into small containers, this can only be dealt with by a multiple approach.
Water, juices are also poured by the boys, and while you are standing, you wait, you see in what soap they are worn.
Accordingly, their not too friendly reaction is understandable, but by the way, a smile and a senkyu helps, but their compatriots do not indulge them with this.
In my opinion, all this is a crooked organization, it was enough to pour beer into normal mugs, 0.5 each, and make vending machines with water and juices available to vacationers without the participation of attendants.
They would pour cocktails and strong alcohol calmly, but no one can see the Arabs are strangled by greed, with such an organization, vacationers will drink more.
The best bar, of course, at the reception and delicious coffee and glass glasses.

Sea.
The first day and a half there was a strong wind, so the sea was not weakly stormy, a red flag hung. In the middle of the second day, a yellow one was hung up and people reached out to splash around.

The descent from the bridge (for some reason, in all reviews it is stubbornly called a pontoon, but this is not so) is extremely inconvenient, narrow and has an inclined surface at the end, with excitement and a large number of people who want to swim, it is simply dangerous.
In the next three days, calm settled and you could safely enjoy the underwater world. It is beautiful, you can study it for hours.
As part of the study, I took a swim to the bridges of other hotels, two bridges to the left and two bridges to the right, at the same time I was convinced that those bridges have a more adequate design of the descents and at least two of them (or even more).

Trips.
The process of bargaining for the price of a trip to Sharm infuriated me, a taxi hurts 3 prices at once, officially 8 bucks, asking 25. Minibus (minibus) 3 Egyptian pounds, asking 5 bucks.
Accordingly, the taxi drops to 12, the minibus to 1. Upon arrival in Sharm, get ready - you will be constantly attacked by sellers, trying to capture attention in any way
(One question, can I? Are you not from Samara?
And you are Russians, help me make an inscription ...well, and so on and so forth)
For ten packs of hookah tobacco they ask for 12 bass, they were inferior for 9. Although it turned out that a package in duty free costs 2 bucks.
They took a safari jeep tour - they didn’t like it, they drive along the highway so that you want to get out, because there is only one life.
And they drag you to interesting places on the run, not to see anything, not to enjoy the views, but they drag you into a tent to the Bedouins and a money scam begins.
Lunch was announced on the tour, but it already passed like dinner when everyone was ready to kill the guide, and of course, three prices were broken for drinks (drinks were not included in lunch).
And it all ended with another visit to the shopping center, which, of course, is "the best and the cheapest. "

About airplanes.
Yes, they take off over the hotel all the time (day and night), but not to say that they interfered a lot. In Sharm al-Sheikh itself, planes come in for landing, in fact, no better.

Findings.
In short, the hotel, somewhere in two stars, the cost of the tour for Egypt, I think it's expensive.
If possible, choose another hotel.
