Hotel - 3 * maximum. The hotel is located 1.5 - 3 km from the beaches that are stated on the site. If you walk at a normal pace, the journey time is up to 30 minutes. And given that the heat is +30+35, hot asphalt (the road to the beach along the roadway) and windless - time may seem like an eternity. The beach is almost your own))) That is, you don’t have to pay for it. The number of places on the beach is limited. Mattresses, respectively. But if you came purely to dive, then you will not need them. Almost every day one could observe verbal skirmishes in the struggle for a place not “under the sun”, which personally gave me extra noise and an unpleasant aftertaste. In this case, only one method worked, whoever got up earlier, that and slippers. There is no toilet on the beach, no shower, no drinking water (although there is no cola, fanta, beer for $ 2-3). The sea is really amazing! But, I agree with previous reviews that this is not the merit of the hotel. . . Yes, there is a shuttle service to the beaches. I don’t know how with the availability of seats... and compliance with the schedule, my husband and I used taxi services. Separate story with the kitchen. There was not a day when I did not run into greasy dishes. Boiling water in thermoses (sometimes it seemed that the water was not boiled to the end). Teaspoons are a deficit, their constant absence, except for laughter, no longer evoked any emotions in anyone. Milk for breakfast snacks - diluted water! I won't go into detail about everything else. Because there is nothing special to describe. There was no choice of food! Yes, we didn’t starve), but there was neither gastronomic nor aesthetic pleasure from going to the “restaurant” for feeding. The location of the hotel, as many consider it favorable, I consider it very, very relative luck. If anyone has seen the map of Sharm, it will become clear that Sharm itself is not big and getting to Naama or the Old Town, for example, is much more convenient from other hotels, and coming to the water park or 1001 nights will be the same journey as an excursion))) Taxis are the most common form of transport, and since you can fill up 3 liters of gasoline for a penny for a penny, you will be taken to anywhere in Sharm (if not from end to end). In general, I strongly recommend any other hotel, for example, the same beach (allegedly their own) is used by 10 more hotels. And since the coastline of Sharm is a coral reef, the underwater world is guaranteed to you from any hotel, it would not be Sharm !! !
