We rested in Sharm Plaza from 8.05. 26 to 17.05. 26. We chose the hotel because of the reef in the Garden Bay.
We arrived at the hotel at 5 am.

We had a standard room, so we were immediately told that we would be settled on the 2nd line. We knew about it. We rested on the sofas. We calmly went to the beach, swam and by lunch for 20 u. o. we were settled in room 3112 on the 1st line. The refrigerator and shower did not work, the linen was not changed. We contacted the reception many times, the linen was changed immediately, everything else gradually.
The location of the room is very good. There is a road nearby, we just walked along it to the beach. Much more convenient than the steps in the center of the hotel.

The food and service completely satisfied us. We always found something tasty. Delicious cappuccino in the bars. But the waiters in the bars are not very friendly.


There was a lot of space on the beach. We came at 7 am on the 2nd tier near the shower and changing room. Spacious and quiet, a great place to relax, a pontoon nearby.

The most important thing is the sea.

We swam to the right (facing the sea) to the Hyatt (Regence Park). The reef is beautiful, we often swam close to eagle rays. This is their place.
On the left we swam far beyond the Oasis Blue Bay Reef. Very beautiful reef, depth, bumps. Early in the morning, when it is calm, the reef shimmers with colors, the beauty is incredible!

There are a lot of big fish, giant catfish are not allowed close, it is a pity. One young triggerfish swam very close, posed and was so cute!

Closer to the Continental we saw two moray eels, one younger, the other older - the real mistress of the reef.   She did not pay attention to us, she allowed us very close. We have known her for a long time, we are always glad to meet.

This time we were pleased with the eagle rays, we have not done such close and such shooting before.

The most unpleasant thing is that we did not go to meet the guide Ehab, we have not been to such meetings for a long time, we do not need them. And on the last day he took revenge on us, for a very long time there was no information about the transfer and departure. At 1.10 at night the transfer did not come. We went to the reception. One employee didn't want to help us at all! The second guy called Join Up from his phone. The transfer and departure were postponed for an hour! Thanks to that receptionist! I wrote a complaint to Join Up.
We hope to come to Sharm Plaza more than once. We recommend it to fans of snorkeling.

P. s.   There was a Russian storm, but it did not interfere with the rest.
