1. This is not the first time in Sharm. But they haven't been to this bay yet. The hotel was chosen from several proposed by the travel agent. We looked at the reviews, photos, weeded out the negative, compared the price / quality and... arrived. Outside the end of March, then it will be hot.
At the airport I was met by a representative of the travel company. We got to the hotel at 20:50. We were offered, first of all. have dinner. Dinner is here until 21-00 (we were tolerated until we ate).
2. Settled without problems. The room is large enough, clean, the bed is wide, comfortable. Sea view (everyone here). The balcony is large and comfortable. Bath/toilet is ok. Everything you need, including a bidet, is there. Behind the curtain is a small bath/shower. The washbasin is located somewhat inconveniently (a little high/far away, but tolerable). The air conditioner at high speeds makes less noise, but it blows unbearably more : ) We opened the balcony at night and gave ourselves up to be torn to pieces by mosquitoes for about an hour. They closed the balcony - they poisoned insects with stockpiled means.

3. Woke up at 7-00. The sky is slightly overcast. Internet weather said about the sandstorm. It’s good - on the first day I didn’t want to burn out in the sun. Warm but not hot. Breeze.
We had breakfast. No frills, but not bad (as for Egypt). Restaurants, as well as the reception on the 7th floor, are at the top of the coastal cliff along which the road goes. All lower floors - on a slope closer to the sea and further from the road. Part of the hall of the main restaurant is taken out to the street, with a beautiful view of the sea. A light breeze under a canopy creates comfort, and a flock of thieving sparrows does not allow you to be distracted from food.
4. The territory is wonderful. Greenery everywhere, but not crushing. Terraces. Green arches, green umbrella mushrooms. Lots of walking paths. The central pool is huge, comfortable for swimming (but people go to the sea : )
5. The beach is unique, with characteristic niches carved into the rock for sun loungers. Sun loungers, not new, but reliable. Lined with a soft, comfortable mattress. Two piers. There is a lifeguard on duty. Separate descent into the sea for those who cannot swim.
The sea in this bay is wonderful. Perfectly clean, with an indescribable rich blue. To see all the beauty - you have to swim, preferably with a mask.
6. Animators, representatives of the SPA center and local travel agencies did not let me sleep on the beach - they politely offered services, and even if I didn’t refuse right away, they kept me in good shape for a long time. And if he refused, they simply tried to talk and answer questions of interest.
7. For dinner, the room was cleaned, re-made, towels were changed, the swan was twisted.
Service is always prompt, friendly but not intrusive.
So far, I have not had to give a single $ for service.
8. Cons. "Tired" since the construction of the hotel, somewhat embarrassed by its appearance for the first half of the day. But in vain. Everything has been repaired and is in working order. Well, the fact that the Egyptians have not yet learned how to lay tiles beautifully and putty cracks - our Ukrainian brother will soon teach them this.

9. Well, and most importantly - there are few people. No one takes a place on the beach from the night. No one pushes around boiled sausages in a restaurant. Nobody sings about Stenka Razin after midnight. Everyone recognizes and greets each other. In a word - thanks to comrade P *** well for our beautiful life.
