We rested quite recently, emotions are fresh; ) The general impression is a hotel with traces of its former luxury. Now - poorly cleaned, not updated, exploited for slaughter.
MINUSES:
The fattest is the RECEPTION. Rude guys, lying straight to your face, not wanting to solve a single problem, not paying attention to any of your requests!

Example? Please: we were put in a room with a hasty, sloppy cosmetic repair (it stank of paint), with dirty, leaky curtains, poorly cleaned, in which there was no refrigerator and hot water, the plumbing worked crookedly. Our requests to solve the problem were followed by nods, stories that "engineers are working", promises that "it will be in an hour" and even idiotic questions "why do you need hot water in Egypt. " Our explanations that the medicine, which should be stored in the refrigerator, is hanging on the air conditioner, attached with a clothespin (the only place where it can cool), did not bother anyone. Only three (!!! ) days later, we managed to change the situation with the help of the Join. Up guide Mustafa, who directly called one of the general managers. We were reluctantly, but relocated.
DIRT. Clean frankly lousy. Everywhere. Watching the cheerful waiters shake off the plastic rug in the dining room, wipe the table with a dirty rag and put the tablecloth with greasy stains there, I grabbed the pocket sterilizer and never let it out of my hands)))))))) The dishes were often washed frankly badly (traces of food and lipstick are not uncommon).
FOOD - as always in Egypt. That is, "specific, but you can eat", but... Why make the sole of boots out of fish, and fill the paste with zira ?? ? wifi is extremely weak. The same air conditioning in the lobby - closeness : ( In the mornings - a nasty sewer stink from "fertilizers" for plants.
About the main BENEFITS.
REEF. The bottom next to the pontoon goes into a real abyss, so the reef is rich in inhabitants and very beautiful! The pontoon itself is short, a few steps and you are in the sea. Incredible snorkeling fun!
TERRITORY. The hotel is beautiful, interestingly designed, lots of space and air, terraces, bars - you can have a good evening without leaving it.
CLOSE TO SOHO. Walking distance to the shining lights of the quarter of shops and entertainment. By minibus (or taxi) it is easy to get to the city center on your own.
STAFF (except reception) Helpful smiles and merry fellows : )
ANIMATION. Present : )
I will allow myself a few tips if you still choose Siva Sharm.
1. Watch out for towels on the beach. There is a danger that other vacationers will expropriate (simply, soprut)))). This happened to us (thanks to two British citizens for their thievery and our ruined evening).
2. Take earplugs with you. At night in the small pools, Arab youth can organize violent night swimming or a disco rattles until midnight.
3. Antiseptic (napkins, bottle) - required. Wipe cutlery.
In conclusion: our tour operator is Join. Up. Thank you for the tour of Sharm (guide Olesya) and nice discounts in Soho.
Departed from Zhulyan (Sky-up, new convenient Boeing), returned to Boryspil (Yana - air) with slight delays.
Have a nice rest!! !
