This was the first trip to Egypt. We tried to choose according to the ratio of price-quality-reviews-photos. What can I say . . The hotel is not bad, but capricious and picky will not work. All the shortcomings were overshadowed by the beautiful Red Sea with its rich underwater world!!!!!
We met wonderful people at the hotel, both tourists and hotel staff. They cleaned our room every day. After the first days of excellent cleaning, we began to leave a dollar (every other day) for tea, we did not regret)) They began to lay out beautiful figurines with flowers, etc.
On the first night we were settled in a "not very" room, we politely asked to be moved and the next morning we moved to room 1106 overlooking the pool, on the second floor. They lived there. : )
Regarding the cuisine, I can say that I would rate breakfast-lunch-dinner as follows: breakfast - 3, lunch - 4, but dinner - 5 (everything is always very beautiful and tasty)

There are some employees in the hotel who do not shine with professionalism, sometimes upset, but I think you should not pay much attention to this.
For those who go there, I want to share useful information, I don’t remember the name of that bartender, but he can stick to you with a fable that he is a collector and collects all sorts of money, and when he finds out that you are from Russia, for example, he will ask you to give him 100 rubles. And he won't settle for anything less! Kind people told us about it in time. He collects money from everyone in this way, and then changes it to local pounds!
As we understood, the hotel is more focused on Italians, although there are enough Russians in it. During our trip, there were several skirmishes with them, in terms of the fact that they put themselves above others and constantly poked at their green bracelet, a la I have a green bracelet, I'm from Italy, I can. For example, when a boy began to kick everyone out of the pool at 18:00 (at 19:00 it gets dark in Sharm, the pool closes at 18:00 and is chlorinated until the morning), then the Italians did not want to swim out and showed their bracelet. Well, maybe it was only these Italians who were like that, I don't know. For example, I really didn't like it. Yes, and at times, they noticed that in the bar they were served much faster than, for example, the same Russian tourists or Ukrainians. But then again, perhaps it was only during the period of our stay there.
In general, the hotel left a good impression, in the end, we went there not to eat and drink all day, and not to consider the cleanliness of the room under a magnifying glass. This is 4 *, although sometimes it seems that 3.5 * : ) The sea is simply indescribable! Gorgeous! Very beautiful and very salty, by the way) And it overshadowed all the negativity that could only be.

In the evenings we went to seafood restaurants in Naama Bay and the Old City. We found a small restaurant in the Old Town and ordered a plate (1 kg! ) of seafood for 4 people, although it was meant for 2 people. The four of us just ate! She was served French fries, vegetable salad and tea. And all this pleasure cost us $25-27. Naama Bay is more expensive, it's like a tourist entertainment center. In the restaurant "Tomato" we ate king prawns (12 pcs. ) + side dish + hookah + watermelon = for $ 12 Quite democratic prices for the freshest seafood with beautiful decoration and wonderful taste.
When you buy souvenirs, do not forget to bargain, and in the most brazen way! The Egyptians do not write prices on goods, I think, because they will invent them on the go. Therefore, feel free to bring down the price by 3 times.
Be sure to go on an excursion to Tiran Island, where in the lagoon near the sunken ship you can see stingrays, moray eels and other beautiful inhabitants of the seabed.
Who will be in Sharm Inn Amaraine - a big hello to Bassim - an accountant and a senior, Mustafa - a bartender and an employee of the restaurant hall and Mahmoud - an organizer of excursions. They are great guys!
Have a nice holiday!
