The hotel was chosen for a simple reason - cheap ($400 per week per person) and the first line. Settling as usual - give money, give a room with a sea view. We waited about 1.5 hours even after paying baksheesh). I liked the sea view, it was very nice to meet the sunrise on the balcony. The room itself was relatively good, I only had complaints about the shower sprayer. I told the reception, they promised to fix it in 20 minutes. The next day, I just unscrewed the atomizer and brought it to the reception - after that, within half an hour, they brought it from a neighboring room and screwed it on. Air conditioning and refrigerator worked fine. Number 522. The guide was on the second day, offered excursions as usual for $ 20 more than around, wrote down claims that, as usual, no one corrected, wrote down those who wanted to go on excursions - in general, no complaints against him). There were people who said that they were settled in the most terrible conditions in their lives. The TV showed 1 Ukrainian channel without sound, 1 Russian channel with sound, and 6 more in different languages. There were enough sockets, good mattresses, 2 separate beds. The territory of the hotel is large, there is where to take a few photos. Just during this period, dates were cut on palm trees, those who wished could collect as many dates as they wanted. The food is very monotonous, fish (we call it sea catfish), chicken or veal, they give a piece, and if you are completely insolent and continue to hold a plate in front of them, they will throw another piece). Tomatoes are worth their weight in gold, they were mixed with hot peppers so that they would take less). From fruits - dates, oranges, melon once. I was mentally prepared for this, so we just went to the old city and bought some fruit for ourselves). Once on the street they fried meat - the chicken was fried to black coals). Water was either insolently collected in the dining room in a bottle (bought juices, in an empty bottle) or asked on the beach (they usually poured it with a smile) or bought in the metro store - 6 liters 8 pounds (dollar - 7.14 pounds). Drinking - vodka, rum, whiskey, everything is diluted to a slight aftertaste of alcohol)) Gin was not found in the hotel, nor was the tonic. There were 2 types of beer, one type was impossibly nasty sweet and sour. In the dining room (it’s hard to call it a restaurant, except that the plates are removed after you) there was once wine from the package (did not risk your health) and they bring about 5 bottles of beer for the evening - if you have time, you can try it). There were a couple of people who got poisoned, I think that with water, we helped one with medicines - we always had the bare necessities with us, the food didn’t have a bad effect on us, except that I gained a kilo - which I didn’t expect, because I swam a lot, walked and tried to eat more vegetables)). It is better to change dollars on the territory of the Hilton hotel, there is a bank branch (a room to the right of the entrance without entering the hotel), there is an ATM at the entrance, but there is a commission, like everywhere else in ATMs in Sharm al-Sheikh. There were surprisingly few people, apparently the reviews scared everyone away). Animation Entertainment - 2 Russian girls, mostly offered trips to discos and excursions. Mostly Arabs, Ukrainians, Russians, don't understand who). Somewhere around 60 -25-10-5 as a percentage). The Arabs were sitting in the rooms, they could be seen a little in the restaurant, and in the pool. The pool was filled with bleach every evening, I didn’t swim there, I went mainly for the sake of the beautiful sea and its inhabitants, whom I had seen enough and photographed). Swimming (snorkeling) on ​ ​ the territory of the nearest 3-6 hotels. Fish of all stripes, moray eels, stingrays, needletail, something like a squid or octopus half a meter, they say there were octopuses, I have not seen many divers). Diving equipment can be rented on the beach. Some were given 5 minutes to dive for free. If you are traveling for the sake of the sea and its inhabitants, you are not afraid to eat monotonous food, you are not fond of free alcohol, you are not afraid to take a walk for fruits and water, you are not very interested in animation, so I can safely recommend this hotel. I think that next time I will go to another hotel, and if this one is without all inclusive, for sure.
