We would like to tell you about the cheerful "Habibi", the most delicious pizza in our life and the sea in which we want to live.

SETTLEMENT

We got up around 11am inspired and with our suitcases. They were immediately politely asked to leave at the guards and wait in line for check-in. Officially, it was supposed to start at 14:00. So, we went in search of adventure to inspect everything.

I was immediately struck by the scale of the hotel: many swimming pools, dozens of rooms, recreation areas, cocktail bars, three restaurants, a gym and, most importantly, thoughtful amenities. For, in order not to walk hundreds of meters, there is an elevator that lowers you immediately to the sea. So far, we have examined all this for the past hour and we were settled faster.


Receptionist Mohmed F. O. is a nice man and just the sun of this hotel! He is a professional in his field. This is a person who always helped us with his advice and a smile right away. We also want to mention the friendly and always friendly Italian goststation Jusi.
She quickly clarified the rules and became a friend. Thanks also to Olga, who took care of us from the beginning and at the end of the holiday helped to make the check-out later.

FOOD

Well, what can I tell you, I became a little kolobok; ). There is just a huge variety of food and everything works in buffet style. It's very cool that every chef who prepares food at the same time and serves it to the guests. I already have chef's favorites. I just love the pasta that Chef Said makes. Pasta them only in Italy and in a hungry year at home; ) But here, regardless of what the main dishes are, whether it's lunch or dinner, I always followed his pasta and wished him a good day.

The best thing is that they are trying for you. Every day the chief chef goes and checks everything, asks people how they are improving. Always come up with something new. For example, once costs 1.
5 m tuna in the hall and show how it will be cooked, the next day shawarma, the third cock under the author's sweet marinade.
Ice cream, chocolate eclairs, rice, spinach and stuffed tomatoes. And my favorite French toast and donuts with chocolate. We just love their freshly baked croissants and spicy Turkish pizza made by Aly. Oh Gods! This is a must try!

Generosity, refinement and smiles. The best chefs work here, and I just fell in love with their professionalism and ease of working with clients. I would especially like to mention my favorite chef Mohamed KIT (standing on fruit), he always does his job with high quality, quickly and with pleasure. Believe me, I would take him to Ukraine with legs and arms; )

Regarding drinks and a bar, the situation is somewhat different. Of course, you can not count on high-quality alcohol and drinks. The downside for us personally was a lot of plastic, these cups were everywhere.
When we came with our eco-cups, we were not always allowed to pour into them.
Special thanks to the bartenders who tried to make something tasty out of everything. And it worked!

Thank you Abd El Sabour!

ROOM

We lived in room 5272. The room has everything and more! Large bed, ancient furniture, three huge mirrors. Balcony with table and chairs overlooking the sea, flowers and huge palm trees. It is also very cool that the mini-bar was constantly filled. And these are juices, water and waffles. Here are some souvenirs for you to take home : ))

Cleaning was every day. We were surprised by turtles made of towels and flowers with leaves. Thank you Ahmed for your efforts, Spanish and constant smile! We would also like to acknowledge Mahmoud HK for his courtesy and great customer service. “Glory to Ukraine” heard how it constantly passed by; )

SEA

The most important thing! It is beautiful and alive! There are a lot of fish near the hotel (there were even stingrays), colored collards and a decent depth. And cleanliness, it is incredibly transparent.
Duration of rest we took another tour (about it later) and there I first dived under water.
Diving : ) And you know what, the beauty near the hotel is many times greater than the place to which we sailed for two hours by boat.

Well, how without people? Rescuers are professional guys who are always on duty and we ourselves saw how quickly they saved a person. With them, I felt safe in the water. And this despite the fact that only here for the first time I went to the depth and still swam with a mask. Thank you Mohamed and Mahmoud. Moreover, the guys went for a walk with us, showed us the city and treated us to delicious Egyptian beer.

ANIMATORS

These are girls and guys who are trying to make your vacation great. They are cheerful and are constantly visible everywhere. So, what awaits you here: zumba, belly dance, yoga and evening program. It can be live Cuban music, a disco or a concert in their amphitheater. We saw "Miss Hotel" and "Couple Hotel".
We were actually amazed by the low content. Contests where a girl pretends to be a chicken and brings an egg into a cup with her knees.

Where it all comes down to sex and vulgarity. However, people are funny and cheerful, so this is a personal matter.

We also want to talk about music. For me, that was the saddest thing. Now about 75% of Ukrainians and Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan live in the hotel. And Russian music plays all the time, and then 2010. There was an impression that everything is done for the Russo-tourist. We would be happy to listen to Egyptian or Arabic music.

EXCURSIONS «Coral Club»

What I didn't like the most. Excursions that cost a lot of money and do not correspond to reality. We bought the "VIP Boat Trip" tour. Which of the 08:00-17:00.

We were promised and what we got:
The place where the three seas meet. Where is the most salty water and the temperature is 29 degrees. They said that we would swim there, because this is a place with the most beautiful wildlife and corals.
- In fact, this is a place where the depth is 750 m and only professional divers can dive there. And everything is teeming with sharks there, so at least I didn’t lie with the animal world.
The reserve as a separate beauty. - This "shark reef" is a reserve. Yes, you can do two things in one on a boat!
Mysterious Island. This island is so mysterious that it doesn't exist. So, from the boat you move to the boat. Through the water, you are all wet and whoever thought of taking a towel with you is just a genius. (because they said that no things are needed). Then you swim up to a place where the depth is above your knees, they tell you that this is an island and you swim back. The water is cold, the phone is in hand and the wind is blowing.
There was also diving and a place where to swim. The diving went great. Professionals worked with us, and we are grateful. Another underwater photo shoot

Of course, the program ended an hour faster, but we were well fed, so thanks for that too.
The tour was recommended to us by our guide Victor.

And he also made a huge gift for us - a free morning tour of Sharm El Sheikh. From 08:00 to 13:00. Well, what can I say - it's terrible. Half a day to nowhere.

We were brought to the Fur and Leather store, to perfumery, clothing and oil. That black kmine was already sold to us by all the Lights and Oli of Egypt. This took about 2 hours. Another hour we stopped at hotels for people. Then 10 minutes from a distance to look at the mosque, because you can’t go inside, a huge beautiful museum for 15 minutes and usually another 20 minutes in a candy store. It's not nice to be considered a wallet. And +1 hour they took everyone back, at 13:54 we were at the hotel, at 14:00 the lunch time ends.

When the shuttle took us back to the airport, we left an hour faster, because again the whole bus was taken to the candy store.

OVERALL IMPRESSION, MINUSES OF THE HOTEL
We are satisfied with the hotel, we are surprised by the staff and the atmosphere of a romantic holiday that they created for us. It really was great. They worked hard for us and we felt it. They made compliments, brought fruits and always asked how we were. The interior is great, the exterior is even better.
Lawns are cleaned, mowed and watered every day. This is a well looked after hotel and we noticed it. The green area and the beach are cool. Jogging and doing yoga in the morning is a pleasure.

Of the minuses:
Bad Internet connection. In fact, it wasn't in our room at all. Talking to relatives is a matter that was almost impossible. If you are traveling with the goal of working online, it will be difficult.
Only one pool is heated, and then the water in the sea is warmer.
Alcohol and drinks as a minus.
Music for me personally and some evening programs as a minus.
And a hookah that does not work through the cod. But we understand that it does not depend on the hotel.
Tours from the Coral club.
Despite this, I would recommend this hotel to my relatives and would go to it again with pleasure! Thanks to everyone who took care of us. This is great love and we are very grateful.
