I will contribute to the description of the hotel. I am resting in Egypt for the second time, I have also been to Turkey before. There is something to compare with. Was with wife and friends (couple).
I will write the pros and cons of the hotel:
+ : The hotel is located in a good area of ​ ​ Sharm El Sheikh, opposite the entertainment complex, market, crocodile show, karting and other recreational activities. A 20-minute walk is the Old Market - it's like their most inexpensive market.
+ : the hotel is on the first line. All neighboring hotels are five-star hotels, they are much more expensive. The second line - three-stars - look quite miserable. The first line is not only the sea near the room, it is also entertainment, a bar and animation on the beach. I, we go to Egypt on a red line, to the beach, so we don’t want to sit somewhere near the pool.

+ : super sea with coral reefs. If someone swims on a yacht to watch fish, then we just dive right next to the hotel every day. Unlike neighboring hotels, there is a good stationary pontoon here. the length of the pontoon is only 20 meters. Fish flocks swim right under your feet.
Those were the main benefits. In general, the service is normal, there are no questions about the territory and rooms, we were immediately settled in good rooms in the central building, closest to the sea, overlooking the sea. The boy cleaned every day, changed the towels every day, lined up the swans. I left him 2 times 1 dollar each. Everything in the room worked both for us and for our friends. The population of the hotel is mostly Russian, half of them are looking for a cockroach, the photo of which was seen on this site. : ) The other half are pensioners who don't read the Internet. In my opinion the problem of the hotel is low occupancy. Judging by the number of available rooms, the hotel is 15-20% full. This is probably where most of the rest of the problems come from. I will list them:
- : There are 4-5 bars/restaurants on the rather big territory of the hotel. Only 2 bars really work (near the pool and on the beach). And 1 restaurant for breakfast-lunch-dinner. There is no additional food such as sandwiches. If all this was then the next minus would not be so noticeable.
- : food in the main restaurant is monotonous. Of course, no one went hungry, all the girls even got better, but there were very few fruits, only one type of meat and fish. Salads are not tasty. Packed rations for expuxia were generally inedible.
- : mosquitoes. Yes, they do exist in this hotel. The balcony cannot be opened in the evening. Those tourists who were prepared took mosquito repellent with them. In principle, the problem was solved.
- : The animation is weak. Of course, if you come to hang out in clubs, then you can go to parties in clubs every day with the animation team. And sleep until noon. The animation consisted of water warm-up, water aeroics and dancing. I managed to play volleyball 2 times. Although there are 2 or 3 volleyball fields on the territory. In the evening, there is almost nothing to do in the hotel. From 10 to 11 there are some contests / karaoke, and that's it.

Here is such a hotel with a great sea. There are few young people, mostly older people - 35-55 years old. Young people are probably frightened by the reviews. So I think the hotel is suitable for a relaxing family holiday and daily admiring the beauty of the underwater world of the Red Sea. And there is something to see. If you are looking for a lot of girls 18-30 years old, then go to another hotel. But if your "target audience" is girls 30-45, then here you will find a Klondike. : )
We went on a couple of excursions, bought in the office of CCTravel (across the road and 100 meters to the right) from an Arab named Roma Idle : ). The price is two to three times cheaper than in a hotel. I didn't notice any difference in quality. Souvenirs bought in the old city.
As a matter of fact, that's all. I hope I did not spend time writing a review in vain, and helped someone.
