We went to rest, so my review will be more positive than negative, although to be honest, after reading the reviews here, I was waiting for the best
1. SETTLEMENT. in the first 30 minutes, the receptionist's statement that my passport would be given to me only the next day after 14:00 unsettled me. I had to swear, because I don’t understand why it took them so long to get the original passport, if you can make a copy. In general, having a fight, I got my passport back. Arrived very early, at 7:30, settled only after 14:00. But we spent all this time near the pool (you can always change in the locker room, except that there were no towels)
even at home we booked a pool view room, we were given a room not even a garden view, but a fence view. I had to go to the reception again to swear that they would give the room according to the reservation

2. TERRITORY. big but stupid, all restaurants are concentrated in one part of the hotel, there are bars near the pools and a bar on the beach, but you don’t really eat there (for me, pizza, french fries and burgers are not food). I still don’t understand the joke with the amphitheater, it would be better if they made another pool there
3. FOOD. here is the most brutal bummer. I've read the reviews - great, great. Nothing like that... breakfast is the same every day - not edible sausages and cuts, eggs, omelettes and pancakes (also breakfast cereals) on the 8th day I was already sick of the omelet. they preferred to have lunch and dinner in Italian. restaurant. we were traveling without a child, I was glad of this decision, since it would not be much to feed him there (2 years)
Local alcohol is a rare thing. I took a sample of gin and tonic, it had a wonderful smell of acetone, it tasted no better. The wine is also not ah, you could drink beer, it was normal
4. ANIMATION - it simply did not exist. during the day, an animator dressed as an aunt jumped in front of the pool, and the thirsty were given a ball for water volleyball. In the evening of the last 2 days there was something like a show
5. SEA - we knew about the length of the pantone, it was not news, one thing is bad, there is no bar on the pantone, it is better to take water with you
every morning there was a strong wind, once there was a black flag, they swam mostly in the afternoon, when the wind subsided. Sailed looked sunken ships to the left of pantone. There are animals, maybe this is not the most beautiful reef in Sharm, but there are fish, beautiful fish
****
You can write a lot about the shortcomings of the hotel, there are many of them, but if you do not notice them, then you get a very good rest. Unless the food, at the end of the 8th day I was already sick of the local food, but this is Egypt and there is no point in building illusions, because everywhere in Egypt.
The hotel is good for the money, but for myself I realized that I will not go to this hotel again
