From 28.01 to 11.02. 2015 We stayed in this excellent hotel for four (2 couples). Tour operator "BIBLIO GLOBUS" Departure from Minsk is strictly according to the schedule of "BELAVIA", which, as always, save on food - scarce, but otherwise normal.
In "Sharma" they quickly filled out the "leaflets", asked for passport control. A full bus was taken to this hotel, they did not stop anywhere. At the hotel, after filling out the questionnaires, everyone was “ringed” and sent to dinner. We asked for 2 rooms next to each other, and we got them No. 1212 and 1213 (2nd floor of the main building, right wing) with a beautiful view of the sea and the pool. The next day, as always, a meeting with the hotel guide (guides), familiarization with the procedures, etc. , excursions were not imposed, as is often the case, which pleased.
In general, the work of hotel guides should be especially noted, and there are only four of them. Always from 9 o'clock to 21 o'clock one of the representatives of the "Biblio Globus" was on site and were ready to help in solving emerging issues, but with us, they did not arise, apparently to mutual satisfaction.

The rooms are spacious, clean, everything worked and did not break, cleaning is ABOVE ALL PRAISE - everything shone.
The territory is well-groomed, compact, the beach is multi-tiered, there are 2 pontoons and it is planned to build another one.
Animation is excellent in Russian. In general, the “population” is 70-75% of the “Slav brothers” from the CIS, Poles, Czechs, Germans, British, Italians.
The food is excellent. It’s not worth writing about pastries, as always in the East - excellent. There was enough fruit (pomegranates, dates, oranges, tangerines, guava bananas, melons (albeit unripe), especially at dinner. The main restaurant is large and there were no queues. Everything is delicious and for every taste and of the shortcomings, only occasionally undercooked (undercooked) potatoes and vegetables, as well as the complete absence of onions, and usually there are bowls of ms with finely chopped onions, “chili”, paprika, herbs, etc. near the soups.
Drinks, as always in Egypt, are standard, UPI juices, wines from large tetra-packs.
Bars. An excellent PATIO-bar, where in the evenings there is live music and a disco for every taste. The waiters behind the counters work at a frantic pace and still have time to run and bring drinks to the tables. In general, the staff are ALL very friendly and welcoming. Tipping is not begged for, but earned - do not be stingy.
There are 3 bars on the beach and another one near the pool and there are no queues. “Snacks” for every taste in all bars are different: pizza, shawarma, burgers, grill, french fries, etc. Well, if you don’t like it, then in the main restaurant, where the choice is much wider.
Sea. If you swim, to the left of the hotel corals and living creatures are more diverse and there are many LIVING corals. We were lucky with the weather, only in the last two days it was stormy.

The shops. As elsewhere in Egypt, the hotel prices for EVERYTHING are significantly higher than in the "periphery". Nearby (less than 10 minutes walk) shopping and entertainment center "SOHO" - we recommend you can buy everything. There you can, or rather you need to bargain, even in stores with price tags.
