Only yesterday morning it was still 20 degrees. . .
Yesterday we returned from this hotel and from Sharm itself.
Impressions of the holiday are very good, a lot of new energy and it is not so boring and long to wait for the upcoming spring. We managed to cut our winter in half.
=)
I love reading other people's reviews of hotels. I never rely on these opinions, it's just funny to read how our nice people pour out their bile and their irritation, in fact, on themselves. For not being able to enjoy life and have fun.
I want to ask all these kind people: dear, do you change the bed at home every day, eat a 6-course lunch on silver? !!
Yes, many of you did not understand why knives are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
At the expense of "poila". Everyone has known for a long time that these kind people go to all inclusive to "eat", sorry, vodka from morning till night.
Well, so go to Finland, they have a good one, in fact, you can not go anywhere, in Ukraine, too, very decent vodka!

How can you insult and write such crap about people and the products of their work, which for religious reasons, the nation, in its mass, - DOES NOT DRINK! ! ! !!
Two words about alcohol - strong drinks, yes, strange to the taste, we had enough understanding, even on the first visit to Hurghada, that cognac, rum, gin and other things we can drink culturally at home, but their wines are very good. Especially pink. Yes, of course, this is not Chile or Argentina, but very decent. I brought some DanaBlu (cheese) with me and had a lot of fun one of the first evenings over a glass of white wine with a piece of cheese and a salad leaf.
The salad, by the way, is great! Always fresh, juicy, crunchy! Two or three types.
Food - food is quite diverse. Very pleased with the lamb.
I don't know why someone was standing in line when we arrived - the hotel was 40-50% full. Therefore, there were no queues anywhere, neither on the beach, as they wrote, nor in the dining room. No one had to get up at five or six in the morning to occupy the loungers.
Already before our departure, a lot of Arab families came, they can see some holidays or something like that, because in three days the hotel was already full to failure. Yes, it was noisy, but it did not spoil the impression.
And you need to get up early at least once, about half past six and watch the dawn. Almost as beautiful as on Mount Moses.
About fruit - yes, a polite boy cuts fruit. This is not a crisis, but what the Germans call Russian Schwein. Our nice people manage to take out oranges in suitcases. So do not argue, all the inconvenience is created by our own people, who also form an opinion about us among the Arabs.
At the beach bar, the Arab bartender wondered every day that we just needed cola and sprite. Funny made round eyes and asked "no alcohol ??!! "
The beach and the sea are beyond praise. Compared to Hurghada - much more diverse fish and much larger and larger. Next time we will go to get a certificate. But the certificate is cheaper in Hurghada, you already need to go to Sharm to enjoy the beauties of the underwater world.

The hotel is clean and cozy. Very beautiful. The area is about 4 hectares. Maybe it's not enough for someone, maybe they have ten hectares, then yes, the hotel area is small. =)
The room was cleaned every day, shampoos and other nonsense were branded, not in dispensers. We lived on the second floor, overlooking the large pool and the sea. The sea view from almost every room, the only thing - all the odd rooms have access directly to the street, which is not very convenient. Ie you do not have your own, fenced off territory.
Shisha bar is funny, they have a couple of Polish and Russian CDs. But it is more interesting to smoke a hookah under the smooth sounds of "habibi".
The main thing I would like to say is an excursion to Mount Moses. Here, Thesis Tour has a little miscalculation. They warn that it is cold on the mountain, but this is by no means the severity of the tour itself. It is necessary to walk 7 (seven! ) Kilometers at night with a flashlight on a trail one and a half meters wide, a crowd, swallowing dust from those ahead, and drowning in the feces of camels all the way. So feel free to take $ 20 and it is better to ride a camel, and the last 750 steps to climb yourself. Back the same 7 km, but down in the morning. I have been feeling the crepitus from climbing for 4 days now. I do not advise people with poor health, problems with weight, heart, blood vessels, pressure to go there, even for religious reasons. I also did not recommend taking small children. T. k.
the climb lasts five hours and the child will simply freeze on the camel, even if he does not go alone. There were children in the group, they just fell asleep at the end and the parents dragged them upstairs just on themselves. As a result, the children did not see the dawn and it was even harder for them, because they did not sleep normally.
Do not take this tour immediately upon arrival if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and work in an office. The unprepared organism will not master!
We returned very happy with the rest and time spent.
Several photos. If there are questions - I will try to answer.
=)

The main whale of your success and joy of the holiday is the desire to have a good rest, not the desire to outdo the neighbors in the account of cockroaches and spiders on the balcony.
