Rested in general.
The hotel positions itself as premium or semi-premium.
Perhaps I agree with this.
We arrived early at 8. For $ 15 per person, I bought an earlier check-in. So you have to wait until 14:00 officially. Although in fact they can settle earlier. The hotel is good, the territory is well-groomed around flowers-smells.
Everything is relative. I can compare with Sunrise Marina in Marsa Alam. In general, the marina loses to Sierra in 9 cases out of 10, although it costs the same.
Nutrition:
Amazing.
Breakfast is like everyone else. Toilet paper sausages, cereals, milk (more on that later), scrambled eggs, oatmeal porridge, Belila porridge XZ, what it is for me whitened it is titanium oxide, and here - such an opportunity. In general, I did not dare to eat, boiled eggs, salads. A sea of ​ ​ pastries, and it is all from the same dough, just one is poured with raspberry jam, and the other with mango. Well, that's it. The snack is good. You won't be left hungry.

Dinner. Everything is kosher here. 2 types of fish, 3-4 types of meat. 1-2 side dishes, -7-8 salads and a bunch of other crap. As usual, at first I put myself a full plate. Then, sick of the sight of plates with a slide of food. In general, dinners are just heaps. Shaw Hosh. I really wanted a small “BUT”, starting from the fifth day of “cutlets with puree” without their seasonings, sumac and fenugreek, which they put even in sugar)))
Uzhing)). By the way, for dinner, we went quite rarely, although every day there was a very decent menu. Chickens, camels, cows, be sure to grill, etc. But simply, having overeaten at lunch, the food did not have time to leave the stomach. Very often, they came for dinner - this is to eat a cake with coffee.
Their pies are a separate issue. There are many and they are all different. They have a pretty good pastry chef. He takes his work with heart. He would have a medal.
In general, the cuisine is good.
No, stop. Well, so... Good... In general, I got poisoned from this kitchen. By the way, also experience. In general, they wrote here that they say do not eat milk in the morning. I once took and poured myself milk with cereal for breakfast. Himself to blame. I felt that my stomach was twisting all day. In general, the night did not sleep. Went to reception at 4 am. Further INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
So, I understand that all insurers are different, I had Ukrfinstrakh (not advertising), in general, the concierge picked up my insurance contract, called the number. Half an hour later, a taxi came for me, took me to a rather good clinic. Mirrors, aunts with big eyes. There I waited another half an hour in line and the doctor saw me. After listening to my stomach through a stethoscope, he pulled out several packs of drugs (about 8) and gave them to me. He gave an injection, wrote down the time for drinking pills, and gave a kick in the ass. ) I'm lying. I sat there for another 20 minutes until the spasms subsided and after that I went back by taxi and they brought me to the hotel for further illness. In general, the treatment cost me zero hryvnia. Ukrfinstrakh are handsome. Guys, not advertising, just the truth - no hemorrhoids, the best reward. Among other things, I recommend eating raw dates, they are constantly available in the dining room and help prevent indigestion.

Leisure. Good leisure. Belarusian animators. The animation is not intrusive, but entertaining. Several times we were at evening gatherings a la "Miss Hotel" Georgians didn't like anything there. I recommend a Georgian))) On the beach, the animators are also good, they just don’t get enough sleep, their eyes are red. Aqua aerobics is good, after only an hour of floundering in the pool, I burned out. And then he lay for another day - he suffered with a temperature.
So, what else to complain about.
Ah, well, yes. Of course, cutting the bracelets at 12:00 and not a minute later is sad. When we were collected by a bus to leave the hotel and the airport (40-45 people), only we were without bracelets, the rest were all with bracelets. Of course this is heresy. They cut off my bracelet at 12, and lunch was only at one. Well, well, the day before, at dinner, I piled myself a full bowl of food on the brakes and the operation, code-named “Ask the first Russian speaker with a bracelet to order whiskey for you, ” was also crowned with complete success. In general, for the hotel - questionable savings.
Guest relays. Marina Chernysh and Victoria. Nice girls. They will help you solve all your problems. The girls honestly try to please the guests, but also to comply with the interests of the hotel. Any mi-mi-mi with you, as long as it does not contradict the policy of the party. When I got poisoned, the girls were spinning around me like a top. Special meals on order, double cleaning of the room and regular calls about my well-being. However, they strongly tried to convince me that in fact it was not me who got poisoned, but a neighbor. And in general, it was not poison. They are easy to understand. G-d forbid, it would not be an isolated case, but an epidemic, the hotel would get good money. Well, in general, the girls are great. Working. Goodies.
What else to write about.
Whiskey - Egyptian, wine powder. BUT! Here Juice is poured from packages, not “upi”. Well, as for me, their mango juice differs from orange juice in taste doubtfully.
AQUA. The pools are beyond praise. Clean, chlorinated, no debris. WAH! Pretty boys.
The indoor pool is a beauty too. Everything works, everything buzzes. The water is flowing. When we discovered it for ourselves, we simply did not climb out of there for the last 3 days.
Number.
5.6 building, junk (for a long time I lived there too).

There will be an opportunity, take the 7th (and lived here). In my opinion, the most kosher is the first one. It's quiet, the rooms are good. Although with us, the seven were actively repaired.
SEA
OMG. Although Marsa Alam is considered a diving resort, for me personally it is smashed to smithereens.
Compared to Mars, the reef is the same here. Fish sergeants are the same. Everything is approximately the same. But there are several differences.
1. There are a lot of stingrays here. Every 10 minutes of snorkeling - a stingray.
2. Turtle. Oh yeah! I saw sea turtles here.
3. Moray eels. Healthy dog. Three meters. Muzzle, with a ram's head.
4. Grisha!! ! As I was told, if you see Grisha, you will understand. In general, I realized that this is Grisha. This is a 2.5 meter tuna.
5. Napoleon fish weighing about a hundred. Ugh! Conversation about nothing. They are like dirt there.
6. You can legally feed the fish. The point is the following. As per my own observations, the surgeonfish lives in a strictly defined zone. To swim for which she is threatened with certain brandy from neighbors. And so. The most succulent and snotty algae grow on the ropes that connect the buoys in the swimming area, but she cannot bite them off, because the ropes float on the very surface of the water (google fish-surgeon, you will understand everything yourself). You take a rope and drown it by 40 centimeters. A fish swims up and begins to actively absorb algae from the rope. This was not always the case, but regularly.
Ah, well, I remembered something else. In general, there were coffee bags from Marsa from Sunrise Marina. From Marsa, the weight of coffee with a bag is 3.1g. Freshly brewed Sierra coffee sachets 1.4g. This is a piper. Weighed on a jewelry scale.
Soho Square. Cool. You can go take a picture. There is no point in shopping. All the same can be bought at home and cheaper. There was no way to bargain with the sellers. And a sandwich for 450 UAH is too much. Or mango. We have $ 2.7 there 2.5-3. It is asked. Like a fish needs a bicycle. Etc.

Ah yes, one more thing. The hotel is not at all within walking distance from the sea. Chapat more than a kilometer to the sea (1.3 according to Google maps). Therefore, in 9 cases out of 10 we were waiting for the bus. Trehat in the heat with a mask-fins-weights, the pleasure is even then. But the bus runs regularly (mostly) so there will be no problems. The beach is large sandy. True, a new beach is being built behind the fence. Therefore, there is a pneumatic striker hammering there all daylight hours. Removing 12m of sandstone. Which in general is also hammering on the brain. The beach is shared with the SAVOY hotel. If you enter the territory of the Savoy beach, you will be asked to leave it. The Savoys have black and blue towels, while the Sierra have white and blue.
In general, I recommend the hotel.
The staff is darling, the infrastructure is wonderful. The tavern is great.
