Таке собі... Such a ...

We are from 27.10. 2021 - 03.11. 2021.7 nights for UAH 9.900. for two. I think that having paid for flights there and back, so accommodation and meals at the hotel are a bonus. I say at once: the main thing is to experience the shock of the first day.
Arrived at 07:30 am, breakfast is not included, bracelets are not given. We walked, not to wait for the shuttle, to the sandy beach (7 minutes walk), located next to the beach of Marina Sharm. Beach with a gentle entrance, the bay is a number of beaches from different hotels. Interesting, full, crowded, as if I had visited Yalta.
We returned to the hotel by shuttle at 10:30, put on bracelets and gave the room the second floor. Since I had read about all the shortcomings of the hotel in advance, I immediately found a cleaner on the floor, asking to change the bed (as it turned out, something was replaced and something was not). To the cleaner - $ 1 for diligence. In the toilet, without flushing the toilet cistern - calling the receptionist, sent the head of the farm, who called the plumber - did. Head of the farm - $ 1 per organization.

The wife wiped all the surfaces in the room, the floor - and the room is ready to use. There was no drinking water in the room, you need to go to the bar and collect, so as not to run around with bottles, as children, went to the nearest store, for $ 1.5 bought 11 liters of water, and closed the issue with water for drinking and brushing. The air conditioner worked, the shower worked, the calf did not turn on, was not interested. Everything in the room works, you can live.
Lunch is miserable, meat - sliced ​ ​ fish, pasta and salad, something else there is not interesting to me. Dinner was a little better, there was stewed meat, grilled fish, side dishes, salads. Breakfast as in all hotels: omelet, beans, puree, salads, coffee, tea, pastries (not enough).
Instant coffee. The Internet is only at the reception, as few people, you can watch youtube. It is advisable to buy a SIM card Vodafone or another operator at the airport and have a permanent Internet. I was not surprised by the animation, I don't know, I don't drink alcohol, I don't use the pool, I can't give an estimate.
We went to this hotel to drive to the beautiful El Fanar beach with a cool reef. On the day of arrival, it was announced that that day they would visit another beach - Farsha, near El Fanar, near the hotel Faraana. Take the shuttle 15 minutes This beach has a sandy entrance from the shore and has a pier. Corals and reef are beautiful. Bring diving yachts with excursions here. Corals (shoes) are needed, because there are sea urchins, hooked, a little pleasant. There are no changing rooms, toilet and shower on this beach. Sunbeds 2/3 in the sun, wooden, old. Sand with garbage. Bar is paid, instant coffee 25 pounds or $ 2 (50 UAH for a disposable cup of instant coffee)). We did not return for lunch, nothing. A little above the beach there is a cafe "Farsha", where at lunch they prepare delicious pizza, chickens, you can have a snack for 10-15 $. In the evening seafood is prepared.

Sharm Cliff Hotel is located in the Naama Bay area, which is full of tourists and a variety of restaurants, shops and boutiques.

You can walk in the evenings, drink a good espresso (25 pounds or $ 2). Mangoes for $ 2-3 / kg (yellow - very tasty, green mangoes for $ 1.5 / kg tastes like some kind of pumpkin), cherries for $ 5 / kg (very tasty fruit), sweet pomegranates for $ 1 / kg. There are fish restaurants such as Mahoney, Ali Baba, where you can dine on seafood (1 kg of shrimp $ 10).
I recommend exchanging dollars for Egyptian pounds in exchange offices or ATMs, it is cheaper to go out. For example, lunch in Minced meat (espresso, pizza, cola) costs 210 pounds ($ 13.65), and in dollars it costs $ 15.

The difference between 3 * from 4 and 5 * (was in any hotel, so I'm guided): in 3 * there is no proper (not to say perfect) cleanliness of the territory, rooms, dining room. Very old room renovations, washed towels and bed linen (including spools). Rooms are not cleaned daily, towels and bed linen are not changed.
There is not much choice of food, no private beach (lead to their periodic change), no snacks on the beach, water, coffee, tea, volleyball, there is a possibility of not having a toilet and shower, there are old sunbeds, many in a small area beach to bring guests from 2 hotels). In 3 * I do not recommend bringing parents, loved ones, it would be a little embarrassing if you were in a higher level hotel. Common to all hotels, regardless of stardom: there may be boors among the staff and may not be delicious cooking (depending on the chef).

Conclusion: this hotel is just to spend the night (if everything will work in the room), "freeze the worm" in the capital and escape to the sea, and in the evening take a walk on Naama Bay.
