I rested in Sharm Cliff in early April, in general, rest for 4.
Now in more detail:
I flew with the Pegas operator, I will never use the services of this operator again! We had to receive our tourist vouchers at the Boryspil airport 2 hours before the plane's departure, the information sheets (confirmations) contained the number of the Pegasus employee who was supposed to bring our vouchers. But what was our surprise when it turned out that there was no Pegasus counter, no employee, and the phone was simply turned off. There were about 35 of us, everyone is nervous, the registration for the plane has already ended, and we don’t even have tickets and it’s not known whether there will be. Thanks to the employee of Teztour, he arranged for us to be put on a plane, because the charter and all our full names are entered there, as a result, instead of one employee, another arrived, but with the same phone, and the vouchers were practically transferred to the plane. Many were nervous, and why is this necessary? On vacation! But our troubles did not end there, naturally, it turned out on the plane that our comrades, who were supposed to fly back to Kharkov, had the city of arrival Kyiv, and the date of departure was the same as the date of arrival in Sharm. At the airport we were met by a representative of Pegasus, but he said to ask the hotel guide all questions. At the hotel, the guide took the old ticket and after a couple of days gave an answer, yes, they really made a mistake, the correct tickets will be at the airport. But remembering the flight from Boryspil, I did not really believe in it. Nevertheless, the hotel guide said that it could not be otherwise (((

As a result, friends arrived at the airport, but there were no tickets or their full names on the plane, and they didn’t want to let them on the plane at all. Those, of course, made a scandal (well, in the end, the Ukrainian soul could not stand such rudeness) and only then they were put in a business class, because. there were no places in the economy for them. One plus - in the business class ride. But tell me, tourists, do you have to worry so much about your own money ???
Therefore, I strongly do not recommend using the services of Pegasus !!!
Now more about the hotel: The hotel has a very convenient location - 10 minutes to the main street of Naama Bay - you just need to go down the stairs, which have already been written about a lot, but you can’t call it a staircase, rather, these are steps at a construction site, i. e. you really need to go up the stairs through an unfinished construction site with rebar sticking out on the sides, and before entering this staircase there is a sign with the text, the meaning of which is as follows: if you decide to go down this staircase, then do it consciously at your own peril and risk. The hotel management wishes you good luck)
But if you are not drunk, then it will not be difficult.
The hotel is small - 2 pools - one heated, the other not. The first impression of the hotel was terrible - a shabby reception, a lobby bar even worse, a hall with ancient chairs, not stylish, not beautiful, repulsive. The hotel can be put a solid 3-ku. I think they gave him a 4 for location. The hotel is surrounded by a construction site on all sides, so there are two options for the view from the hotel room - the first to the noisy pool with animators, the second to the construction site (we gave $ 10 for 2 rooms and we were settled in a room whose windows overlook the back of the hotel (a small lawn with flowers, neat and beautiful), then a road and some buildings. . . Perhaps these were the rooms with the best view in this hotel.
The room was cleaned every day, every day there were clean towels, I can’t say about the linen - I’m not sure that they changed it. But, in the end, you also don’t change bedding every other day at home. We only once left a couple of pounds of money, but they constantly put flowers in our room and placed my jars in the bathroom a couple of times.
The room has very large beds, so it's better to take a room with separate ones, and then move it)))

The bathroom is ordinary - we had a bathroom, a toilet, everything was clean, a large mirror and a shelf under the mirror, there were no problems with this.
The room deserves a 5- (we didn’t see any cockroaches or spiders), minus they didn’t put water in the room, but we either bought it or brought it in glasses from the bar.
Food: the food is quite varied, especially pastries, sweets. There were always tomatoes for lunch, and fresh cucumbers for dinner and breakfast, and a bunch of other vegetables (I just don’t eat), there was always chicken and fish, rice, potatoes, stewed vegetables and a bunch of everything, on the last day there was a barbecue, there was more oriental day - oriental food and sweets.
We had red bracelets and we were given a glass of wine for lunch or dinner. This is of course redneck - one glass, but oh well. And so, all inclusive included local: vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, fanta, sprite, tonic, cola, water, tea, coffee.
The restaurant was located in the main building, there is only one restaurant, there is also a bar near the pool, the minus was that it was impossible to take out sweets or fruits from the restaurant to sit around the pool.
Animation: I'm generally not a fan of animation, but what I saw sometimes was just awful. The only time when there was an oriental evening, there were also oriental performances, dances, the rest of the time there was some kind of Arabic full house. There was a karaoke evening, but I think it’s a crime - when people really have nowhere to go, they sit drinking their free local alcohol and then some comrade begins to howl either the Vladimir central, or some other songs of a thieves taste, and it’s okay if the voice was, but the amount of alcohol inspires the singer that he sings like an opera star, but from such singing the rest of the vacationers instantly sober up and leave, some to sleep, and some to enjoy the panoramic view from the entrance of the hotel. By the way - the view is really amazing - the whole night Charm is in full view and a piece of the sea is visible!

Beaches: there are 2 beaches near the hotel. The closest one is Naama Bay, a bus takes you to it every half an hour, but it is not interesting from the point of view of the underwater world, and indeed the feeling of the sea. Because this is a bay, respectively, from your beach you see the beach opposite, and the feeling that you are on the sea - no, it smells like a lake. I have only been to this beach once. But there is a toilet and a shower. The bar is paid.
The second beach - El Hadiba - is the beach for our hotel and the Sharm Holiday hotel (one management). Our hotels rented land from the neighboring large hotel El Faran (something like that is called). There is no shower or toilet on the beach, you can buy drinks.
But the beach itself is very beautiful. The entrance is gentle, sandy, corals start a little further, and then a solid wall of corals, then depth. So, up to this depth there is a pantone (however, as it turned out later, it belongs to El Faran and on the last day we were not allowed to go there), but before that, for 7 days we jumped from this pantone and looked at the fish and corals in a mask - it’s just breathtaking, beauty unreal! Just for this it is worth going to Egypt in Sharm!
In general, the minus of this beach is the protection of El Farana, which on the last day was not allowed to go to the panton, and the lack of a toilet and shower (the water is too salty, I really wanted to wash it off). And the minus of the hotel itself is the lack of its own free bar on the beach, after all, there are bars near the beaches in 4-star hotels.
Very tasty hookah on site - 15 pounds all the fun.
I advise people with physical training to visit the excursion to the colored canyon - it is very interesting to climb rocks, ride a jeep on the sand, just be sure to wear pants and sports shoes!
That's basically it! Summing up, I can say that I really liked the rest, even despite the misadventures with the tour operator!
Have a nice holiday!
