We rested from March 13 to March 23.2018. I am writing a review based on the price that we paid for the tour for 10 days for 2 - 14700 UAH !! ! Please take this into account. Rested before in hotels of different stars, there is nothing to compare with.
We arrived at the hotel at 21:00, we were immediately sent to have dinner, then we filled out a questionnaire at the reception and went to settle. We didn't pay anything for the room. The porter was given 1 bucks. The room was given on the 2nd floor, walk 20 seconds to the reception. Repairs in the room have not been done for a long time, in the bathroom the seams between the tiles are black, the plumbing is old, there was gel in the shower (very cool in quality), a set of soaps, snow-white and very soft towels, a hair dryer (we didn’t use it). There was no toilet brush, at the first request they brought it to us. We asked for an iron to iron things after the flight - they brought it along with an ironing board. The room itself is spacious, there is no balcony, but the windows are full-length, open, there is a railing on which we dried towels. The furniture in the room is old, but it did not bother us at all. Bed linen, of course, is not very good - in some places the spots were not washed off, somewhere it was burned with a cigarette... There is a safe, BUT it lives its own life - it opens and closes when it wants to. Sometimes we pressed the programmed code for 5 minutes to open the safe, and in the same way to close it. WiFi does not catch in the room, and we did not even try to use the Internet from the hotel, we were immediately warned that it was terrible. We bought a SIM card from a local operator. There are shops in the hotel - the prices are very good - we bought 2 corals for 6 bucks, magnets 4 for a buck, Turkish delight 250 grams 1 $ (Lukum is not very good for us, Turkish is much better, next time we won’t even buy), a bag with owls for $ 5... In general, the prices are normal. We took argan oil at the hotel, another oil - perfume - 12-13 bucks, but we didn't really like the seller Ali... an unpleasant type. There is a shop on the beach from the hotel, the owner works there himself, such a tall and plump man - here he is very pleasant, unobtrusive, the prices are good, a little inferior, he will also offer coffee and talk about life. He has $12 oil, and is inferior. Towels are large, as tall as me - bought for $ 6 each.
About the hotel further - the territory is large, the main pool is clean, it was not cold to swim. Near sun loungers, umbrellas, bar. Sometimes animation arranges all sorts of fun. The heated pool + children's pool is higher, but we didn't go there, there are practically no people there, and some flowers bloom, they smell unpleasant. Near the main pool halabuda, which give out towels to the beach on the cards. Towels are good, large, soft.
There is a scheduled bus to the beach. It's small, but there are a lot of tourists! And this is how the time to go to the beach at 9:00 comes up - a specific crush, although the next bus leaves in 5 minutes... All the excitement is created by our tourists, it would be faster to get on the bus... On the beach, bags are purely conventionally checked at the entrance. Beach for 4 hotels. There is a bar - tea, coffee, soft drinks. for free. Ice cream, natural juices, beer, cocktails for a fee. Juice $ 1, cocktail $ 1.5, but you can bargain for 1. Juices and smoothies are great! We drank them.
As for the beach itself. The beach is definitely dirty. BUT. Vacationers themselves are to blame. Why throw cigarette butts at your feet? Semachki caress too on the sand ? ? Plastic cups cannot be thrown away after themselves. . . There are trash cans, there are many of them, be human, don't litter under your own feet! Sun loungers - there are plenty of them, but some are a bit old. With us, they made a couple of dozen new wooden deck chairs, and put them on the beach. The old ones are taken away for repairs. The mattresses on the sun loungers are normal, but of course there are dead ones. They put up new umbrellas so that there is more shade on the beach. In short, they improve little by little. There are several people walking on the beach who offer excursions - they are much cheaper than the tour operator. We didn't go. People from the hotel praised, everything is fine with everyone. They don't throw.
Sea. there is a "paddling pool" - the children swim, although we did not mind lying in shallow water. The vodka is awesome. The fish swim right on the shore. They took bread and fed them - what a sight! We went swimming from pantone - beautiful corals, bulls are very beautiful! but I'm a little girl))) I was afraid that no predatory one would sail. I didn’t like the fact that on the descent into the water our women will be 100 kg in weight, and no one can go into the sea, can’t get out...
Food.
For breakfast, as elsewhere, everything is modest. fried eggs, sliced sausage, cheese, chopped carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, white and blue cabbage, croissants, salted cottage cheese (did not like it), cereal, milk, honey, jam, something like rice porridge, a lot of pastries, tea, coffee. There are practically no people in the dining room during the morning. There was already a small queue for lunch, so you need to arrive on time... They served rice with vegetables, spaghetti, potatoes in different variations, soups, pasta, sole fish always cooked in different ways, beef cutlets, stewed merchant, baked... a bunch of shredded vegetables, a lot of sweets, melons, oranges, guava, pomegranate, tangerines. Come to dinner on time 100%!! ! Such an unreal queue, and everyone is rowing food indiscriminately... They served everything for lunch, plus they also made salads, cakes, grilled meat (served either where fried eggs are fried in the morning, or opened the doors in the restaurant to the pool, and they served it straight from the coals). Everything is very tasty. We always ate, we were never hungry. A earnest request to all vacationers - do not take food as much as you do not eat. Such an unpleasant sight, when everyone is rowing indiscriminately, meat along with cakes)))) then it is naturally not eaten and thrown away. And so almost everything!
The impression about the hotel is made not only by the hotel staff, but also by the vacationers themselves, how they behave.
Room cleaning. We periodically left $1. We then twisted incredible things out of towels))) Cleaning consists only in lightly wiping the floors and making the bed. Soap was provided every day. Towels were changed several times during our stay. Bed linen was never changed.
As for the tour operator. Our guide at the hotel offers excursions - the prices are too high. But there is such a moment that they do not behave very correctly. Firstly, they do not tell how the tour will take place, all the subtleties and nuances. Secondly, they put a lot of pressure on you to buy at least some kind of excursion from them... We first thought about Jerusalem. But my husband had an injured finger, and we felt that it would be difficult to be on the move all day. Who pulled us to tell the guide what we think, whether to go or not... He took out our whole brain... And he talks like that - presses... It was already unpleasant for me. And at the expense of Israel - it’s not long to go to the border, about 3 hours, but customs control begins there. You are standing at night in the middle of the desert, it is very cold, and the guide from the hotel will not even mention that you take warm clothes. They search, check the phones, read the Viber, arrange a personal search and interrogation for everyone, and this can last 4 hours. Some are not allowed through. Then the tour operator returns only 60% of the cost of the paid excursion. Who passed the control - go on an excursion. Yes, interesting, but very fast. They also lead to Israeli cosmetics (4 times overpriced). In the Jordan River, you only need to swim in white tunics - no one says in advance that you need to take them with you. Then your guide will sell them to you for $10.
Next moment. The guide offered a sightseeing tour of the city, visiting the only Christian temple on the territory of Sharm. We were in Sharm for the first time, we decided to go. We'd better go to the sea. We just lost half a day. They brought us to the mosque for 10 minutes, quickly took pictures, and took us to an oil factory for an hour... The prices there are simply pipets. A jar of oil 300 ml, which costs $12 everywhere - they have $60. After the oils, we are sent to the department with souvenirs - the prices, of course, are also exorbitant. As a result, half of the bus expressed dissatisfaction with the guide who drove us - and she, in turn, they say what claims, the hotel guide should have told you that this was an excursion to the oils...
Another animation involved in divorce (like everything else in Egypt in general). They offer to go for free to the sandy beach - beach club Ibiza, they say it's beautiful there, white pillows... blah blah blah... and a free drink 1 is also required. As a result, they bring in, bags are examined at the entrance, even water cannot be brought in. The free drink is a colla. If you want something else - $5. They offer a massage for $ 10 (we have 2 times cheaper on the beach from the hotel). Music yells unrealistically loud - in short, a purely party place. I didn’t really like the beach - at the bottom of the mule, it’s unpleasant to walk, and on top of that, stingrays swim !!!
In general, summing up - we liked everything for the money that we paid. If next. year there will be the same sweet price for this hotel, I will go with pleasure. $538 for 10 days is very cheap. We didn't give $1000. And those who write - there is nothing to eat - do not tell!
P. S. George Clooney's store is far from the hotel, so you shouldn't....
The hotel has a taxi - the prices are excellent. On the street, you can also stop any taxi without fear, it's safe. The only thing is, take small dollars with you, otherwise these comrades never have change.
