Hello!
My husband and I went to Egypt for the first time. I chose the hotel mainly, relying on numerous reviews of tourists, my opinion was built for about 2 months, during which almost every two days I stopped choosing everything at a new hotel. On the day of buying a ticket, we finally decided and made, as now I can say with confidence, a very right choice!
We flew through the tour operator Turtess, UIA airline (Boeing 737).
Flight without delay, flew about 3.5 hours. At the airport, we were immediately met with a Turtess sign, they offered to issue a visa for 20 USD. That is, it’s better to immediately refuse and do it yourself in the next window for 15, fill in just a couple of lines there. The hotel was 30 minutes later, registration was about 20 minutes, they gave a room in building 7 on the first floor, a couple of steps from the room to the reception and the restaurant.

We were satisfied with the room: 3 beds (although there were two of us), a spacious, cozy loggia, a good bathroom, although I read that some wrote about the 7th building not very nice words, they say it’s too far and the shower cabin has no doors, but only curtain. After talking with the guide Gamri (18.30), in principle, they didn’t learn anything new, because they were already informationally prepared. The weather during this period was surprisingly good, no more than + 38, the sea + 28. When we left, everyone told us that we would not survive in such heat, so it was very tolerable, even in the evenings after the pool it was a little cool)).
TERRITORY. Large, very blooming, 3 large central pools: the first 1.25 m, the second 1.5 m, the third 1.8 m. In the middle pool there is a bar on the water. A very interesting arrangement of buildings, especially beautiful by the pools, the buildings go in a circular cascade around the entire perimeter.
NUTRITION.
We drove along the Al system, ate mainly in the main restaurant of Tirana, which amazed us with a variety of dishes)). Every evening was themed: Italian, European, Mediterranean, Asian, "seafood" and other cuisines. I didn't remember all of them. There was never a queue for dishes, in general everything was delicious. The most delicious: morning omelette with vegetables, the chef makes in front of you; seafood (I love them very much), they were given a couple of times a week; pastries, cakes, guava juice; don't miss it! ! ! every morning they give you a choice in unlimited quantities of delicious fresh juice: mango or strawberries. A couple of these glasses and my whole breakfast)).
Those who eat according to the All inclusive system can visit only the bar of the Sierra Hotel for free on the beach, the Savoy beach bar is included in the a la carte system, for which All has a permanent 50% discount.
For All Inclusive, the following establishments are free: Tirana restaurant, Safari bar (next to Tirana restaurant), also called Lobby bar, pool bar until sunset (it is closed after sunset), Sierra beach bar, Panjay disco + 2 cocktails , Fontana bar on Soho until 22.00 (located near the stage) and another bar on Soho until 20.00, but we didn’t get there, that was enough for us. If anyone needs details about drinks and all the establishments that are included in the All system, write an e-mail, I will send an information sheet, which is given upon check-in at the reception.

BEACH and SEA. No complaints about the beach, big, clean. We used the Sierra Hotel's main beach, closer to our bar. Yes, and I liked the coral reef near the pontoon of this hotel, I saw all the most interesting things there!
You can freely swim along the Sierra Savoy pontoon, but this is practiced in almost all hotels where there are 2 pontoons each, my husband and I also went to the territory of the Concord and Sunrise hotels, I really wanted to compare the coral reef)). Looked - calmed down. Nothing better and no worse, everywhere beautiful corals and a wonderful underwater world. The fish are just a miracle, because it was the first time when I went down into the sea with a mask, it just took my breath away, such a beauty! ))) On the last day we saw a moray eel swimming right at the pontoon, near the reefs, at least 1.5 meters long.
We didn’t take any excursions, we went only to Naamu Bay, free shuttle bus 2 times a day: 10.30 and 13.30. In Naama, be more vigilant))) They are bred for money with such an angelic face that you begin to see clearly only when you are already at the hotel)).
We left the hotel at 14.30, departure at 17.00, but when we arrived at the airport we found out that the flight was delayed for an hour ...Check-out at 12.
00, but you can extend for $ 75 until the evening, those who have a later flight, we did not need. We checked out at 10 o'clock in the morning, left our suitcases in a free luggage room and went to the beach! There are showers on the beach, you can put yourself in order if you wish)). Lunch on the day of departure was included, so after dinner we got on the bus and left ((.

In general, I liked everything very much! True, you need to go at least 11 days, and with excursions for all 14! I advise everyone)))
Have a good trip!
