Since we were leaving on a last minute trip and we had only two days to pack, so there was no time to choose and we completely relied on our tour manager and did not lose.
We arrived early in the morning around 8 am, at 8.30 we were already at the hotel, but according to international standards, check-in is at 14.00, so we were put on bracelets and said "wait". We left our luggage, went to have breakfast and spent the rest of the time on the beach. Exactly at 14.00 we were settled. The hotel has a lot of buildings, and since the hotel is English, that is, somewhere around 70% of tourists are British citizens, accordingly, everything is done only for them. For Russians there are separate 2 buildings. A bit far, of course, from the sea and from the main restaurant, but this is not a problem at all, as walking around the territory and stretching after lying on the beach is just great! The room is large ...after Turkish hotels - so generally huge!
Two beds, bedside table, dressing table, large TV (2 Russian channels), sofa, coffee table, pouffe, mini-bar (with drinking water), safe (free of charge), e / kettle, tea, cafe, cream, sugar. In the bathroom we had both a walk-in shower and a bathtub with a flexible shower (cabin was not in all rooms). The bathroom is also a very decent size.

The room is cleaned daily, but we were not lucky, the first three days we were not cleaned, i. e. they will come in just make the bed and fold the wet towels and leave! We complained about the Guest Relations (Russian girls sit there), with grief in half on the third day we cleaned up and changed the linen. In general, it is better to follow this.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
They feed well. Fruit is a problem. Apples, canned peaches and pineapples, the latter sometimes served fresh, watermelon (watery and not sweet), melon (in principle, you can eat it), plums and ginger ...well, in general, I hoped for more.
Desserts are amazing, the meat is quite edible, the cheese is good, the sausage, like everywhere else, is soy. And we never went hungry. I advise you to go to the Egyptian and Indian restaurants a la carte (once for free). Delicious! ! ! We didn’t get to Italian, because there were huge queues, but we didn’t go to Chinese, because we decided not to risk our health.
There are many pools on the territory and all are different. In the courtyard of the Russian Corps there are slides (3 pcs) a cool thing! Even in the bar by the same Russian pool they prepare an amazing cocktail: Tequila Boom! It is drunk in one gulp, it is not as deadly there as in our clubs, but after 4 times in a row it becomes very fun! )))
The beach is good. You can almost always find free sunbeds. Pier 140 m. Decent depth. Lots of fish! ! ! So beautiful! ! ! They constantly hang out at the corals and are not at all afraid of people, so you can see them in every detail. The mask is a must! Otherwise, go to the Red Sea in vain!
Animation in the hotel is not bad! The main thing: not intrusive! Special respect to the animators Masha, Nadia and Toto! ! ! The animation program starts at 21.00 and ends around 22.30. There are no late discos, because they interfere with the sleep of the British.
In the evening you can walk around the hotel ...very beautiful! Just a fairy tale! Sit on the beach, admire the night sea and lighthouses in the distance ...romance in general!
If you walk along the alley along the beach to the end, you will find a small bar, where you can smoke a hookah ($ 3), drink very tasty tea, owns an Arab who speaks Russian very well and swears very funny))) so come - you will not regret , have a good time.

From excursions I would like to advise a trip on a yacht to the Ras Mohamed nature reserve. There are three stops at the sea, swimming with an instructor in masks and fins (we didn’t have any, we managed without fins), admiring fish, corals, clams, shells ...it’s amazing! ! !
We also went to Cairo, looked at the pyramids, saw the Sphinx, sailed on a boat on the Nile, visited the National Egyptian Museum, where things from the tomb of the pharaoh, which are already about 4000 years old, are exhibited ...it takes your breath away when you touch them. Everything is very interesting, but very tiring, because driving 550 km from Sharm is 7 hours in one direction, and the same in the other ...although it's probably worth it.
We went to Naama Bay by taxi. Don't give more than $10 one way! There is of course a bus from the hotel, in the evening it is paid $ 3. But we do not like to depend on someone, you just go outside the hotel, and the taxis themselves drive up.

I want to say that I did not want to leave! This is probably the most important indicator!
Those small minuses that are in this hotel overlap with huge pluses! So everyone have a nice holiday. I think that if you choose this hotel - you will not regret it!
