приличный отель, если-бы не море! decent hotel, if not for the sea!

I stayed at the hotel with my husband and friends. We are young people. We knew in advance where we were going, so we read everything, looked around, and immediately understood where we were going. The hotel is very beautiful in nature and design. But as everywhere there are + and -. I will only talk about my experiences.
1. Corps - only 6 buildings, but rather not buildings, but districts, each of the buildings has its own name. Indeed, 5.6 buildings are the farthest from the sea (it's a 5-minute walk), but closer to the reception, one of the restaurants and pools. But since near each of the buildings has its own courtyard and a lot of greenery, the distance is not felt. The only thing is that there are 3.4, 5.6 buildings - you need to climb stairs to them - 10 steps (this is if people of age go, but everywhere there are also slopes without steps). In 1.2 they almost do not lodge, because there are either only foreigners or suites, but they are located near a very noisy pool, so there is nothing to lose. We wanted to pay to be settled in buildings 3.4 - we were refused, they settled in building 5, only from the very beginning and with a view of the pool, but it turns out that building 5 through the wall from 4, so first look where you will be accommodated, and if that it is always possible to move, they agree. If you choose between buildings 3.4, 5, then either 3 is better - it overlooks a decorative, very beautiful pool, or at the beginning of 5, it also goes to another smaller pool, building 4 - balconies look at the restaurant and the roof of the amphitheater.
2. Restaurants - there are 3 of them on the territory, at least we found only 3, two of them are all inclusive, one is paid. In general, you first need to walk around the territory and find everything. One restaurant near the reception - there is not much choice and the staff is impudent. The restaurant, which is located near the decorative pool, is better, because. it is closer to the buildings for foreigners, but of course everyone can go there, just not all of our people went there, that's why they write that the food is for 3-4. I don't know what everyone eats every day at home, but I don't think everyone cooks the king prawns or squid in the sauce they gave us. The choice in this restaurant has always been huge. Also, you must first walk around the restaurant and take a closer look, because. The "servants" are of course impudent and everything is very best, or they impose specially less, and then they report, but still everything is there, you just have to get up from the chair several times and go to the buffet. There have always been meats - chicken cooked in two forms, beef, stuffed and plain ducks. Of the side dishes - potatoes, rice, spaghetti cooked in several ways. From the chef - always something interesting - or duck, or shrimp with sauce, or squid, etc. There were also always 3 pots above the fire, which always had something interesting in it too. The rest is trifles. Drinks - free of charge - tequila, rum, gin, wine, beer, and alcoholic cocktails, unpretentious of course, but you can drink. The only negative in the diet is breakfast - only scrambled eggs, pancakes, muesli and yogurt - it seems to be enough, but every day is the same, tired. Breakfasts in all restaurants are the same, but lunches and dinners - just go to the second restaurant. Also, the second restaurant works longer and the staff there is more “well-trained”, especially if you go to the very end of the restaurant, one waiter worked there, if you are cultured, he will even remember that you drink from alcohol and will always bring it to you.

3. Bars - there are 5 of them, one near building 5 is free, and by 12.00 they bring French fries to the bars and to the beach, chicken and hamburgers like in McDonalds, olives and vegetables - in general, you can have a bite to eat. The second at the reception - it is paid. The third is near the pools, which are closer to the beach - everything is also free there. The fourth - on the beach - is also free. And the fifth - a grill bar - at lunch, there is always meat and vegetables on the grill - for free.
4. Animation - you can't watch without tears. Or in the amphitheater or near the beach. The boys are on contract, and the level - school - horror. All in a mixed language - first they speak Italian, then something in Polish, a little Russian. Once there were dances of Egypt - the only thing that could be seen, very beautiful. There is also a bar near the pool, near building 5 until 22.00 - always live music, and a disco on the beach after 23.00. Sometimes there is animation at the pool - aerobics and water football, but rarely, there are also large floor chess - located near the fish restaurant on the second floor.
5. Staff - all the men are very arrogant, but apart from their "clacking" with their tongues and a couple of standard words, things will not work if you stop paying attention to them. And in general, everyone smiles, but they will do it their own way. If you lose or forget something, you may not be able to return it. We know from our own experience. At the reception there is a Russian-speaking Anya, almost always in the hotel, but nothing decisive. In general, we were in Egypt 4 years ago, of course the hotel was on the "classes" of the level above, but the Egyptian men were not so arrogant.
6. Shops - one shop, which is located at the reception, which sells T-shirts, towels, scarves, tunics, arafats - prices are even lower than in Naama Bay. All the rest - of course, you must go to the city or you can also go outside the hotel - opposite, there is also a small area with shops, the prices are the same as in Naama Bay, the main thing is to bargain.

7. The beach is the only fat minus in this hotel. The beach itself is huge and beautiful, but the sea is a problem, but only for those who swim poorly. If you swim normally, then I did not see any problems, as everyone writes. We are not the first time in Egypt, it is in Sharm - so there are pontoons everywhere, only different ones, either 20 meters or 200 meters, the only ones in hotels that are closer to Naama Bay - there are no strong currents and waves, but in this part of Sharm, where built a hotel - is. And 100-200 meters of the pontoon is not felt, because while you go to the sea along it, you look all the time, either at the fish, or somewhere else. The problem with the sea in this hotel is only due to strong currents and waves, so depending on when the moon changes, and either low tide or high tide (we just got there) - the sea either before lunch or after lunch due to strong currents can be closed, but still half a day you can safely swim from the pontoon. The main thing is to take a mask with you. Fish of course a fairy tale. Who swims badly - there is a "puddle" as everyone calls it, but not a "fountain", but you can also swim and there are also fish there, but less. Along the beach there is a promenade for about 6, and maybe more hotels, very long - about 10 km. , You can walk around, take a walk, see other hotels.
8. Go to the new district of Sharma - Soho, cool, small in area, but you can’t say that this is Egypt, everything is in glass, shops, fountains and through every step all kinds of sculptures right in the asphalt, very beautiful. The prices there are high, rather, it’s just cool to take a walk there, take pictures and watch shows under the moon - that’s really professional shows, very cool and free.
In general, the result for the hotel - pluses - a very beautiful and large territory, 15 minutes drive from the airport, decent food and drink, the almost complete absence of our people in the hotel. Minus - the sea is constantly closed for half a day, the lack of animation and a normal disco, and also far from the city - by taxi 20-30 minutes.
You can go, have a good rest, but it's better if you have it, it's better to add 100-200 dollars and go to hotels located in Naama Bay.
