I will divide my review into several sections.
1. Accommodation.
I arrived at the hotel at 11-30 and settled me right after lunch somewhere at 13-30. This is in principle normal, given that according to the rules, check-in is at 14-00. And then my adventures and travels through the hotel rooms began. They put me in room 3114. The first thing I didn't like about the room was the lack of a balcony. Nowhere to dry swimming trunks and towels. There is no refrigerator. There was no bottled water in the room when we checked in. There are no soap and snout accessories (this is especially problematic if a person did not take them with him, but I still did not use them). Of the 5 towels put in 5 stars, I only hung two and those were not the first freshness. There is no bathroom, and instead of it there is a primitive shower stall with a curtain, which did not save much from spilling water throughout the toilet room. And the last minus is that the window of the room overlooks the hotel building, despite the fact that the Joint Up advertisement states that without exception, all the windows of the hotel rooms overlook the sea. In general, I stayed in this room until the evening and decided to go to the reception to express my comments on this matter and the fact that I do not like the room. I must say right away that for 10 bucks I was offered room 1867 which suited me, even more than. The windows in it also did not overlook the sea, but I put up with that. Less than 3 days of my vacation as I was waiting for the next trouble. Arriving from the tour, I could not get into my room due to the fact that the magnetic key stopped working. Probably 10 times I had to go back and forth to the reception and back. They changed the key and reprogrammed it. Everything is in shambles. The only thing I managed to notice is that for some reason the keys of the guy who cleaned the rooms and the locksmith worked. All the manipulations that were performed with the lock of my room turned out to be ineffective and I was offered to move to another room to motivate this by the fact that the lock was out of order (I repeat that the keys worked for the cleaner and the master). And on the 3rd day of rest, I was settled in room 1864. The room was a spree. The doors of the refrigerator were broken down and stood next to him. When contacting the reception, replace the refrigerator (there was a 45 degree heat and I wanted cold water) zero by weight. Conclusion: divorced by 10 bucks. I didn’t swear, because it’s useless and I still wanted to relax, and not do household chores at the seaside. I must say right away that the receptionists are complete scumbags. Special thanks to the cleaner of room 1867. This is probably the only person in the hotel who does his job perfectly.

2. Nutrition.
Regarding food, I will not write much. You won't be left hungry. There are few fruits. Green oranges and semi-green melons. Watermelon in general. Vegetables - tomatoes are not ripe. Soups are terrible. Actually, it's just water. They don't even sprinkle salt. Everything else is more or less normal. Sparrows constantly fly around the restaurant, climbing on plates, while vacationers have gone away for a portion of food. So food can be a health-threatening surprise. Regarding digestion, on the 3rd day some discomfort visited me. So, be sure to take Loperamide, Levomecithin and other antidiarrheal drugs with you on vacation in Egypt.
3. Beach and sea
There were enough places on the beach for everyone. Sun loungers are not the first freshness, but the main thing is that they are not on the ground. Towels are provided. Towels not washed, shabby, faded. Many vacationers, so that their sun lounger would not be occupied, left them and left for lunch and early morning. But I would not recommend doing this, because in my presence two women almost pulled each other's hair out. Penalty for losing a towel is $15. I repeat that there were enough places for everyone and I don’t see the need to leave a towel.
As for the sea, there are simply no comments. The water is clear, the pontoon is short. The reef is so colorful that there is no need to take a boat trip. The hotel has its own diving center, where you can dive for an additional fee and see the beautiful water world and its inhabitants.
4. Animation.
The animation was. The guys are trying. Vacationers were not bored. There are no comments for them.
5. Territory.
The area is well maintained and beautiful. The only negative is that the lawns and vegetation on the territory of the hotel are irrigated with sewage water. The stench is all over the hotel.

And in conclusion, I will say that I have something to compare with and this hotel is far from pulling 5 stars. In 2013, he rested in Egypt in a group of four. And this is heaven and earth. I advise you to listen to both positive and negative reviews, as they have a place to be specifically in this hotel. Often negative reviews are left by those who have something to compare with, and positive ones are left by those who are in Egypt or abroad for the first time. Personally, I advise you to look for something better. There are plenty of good hotels in Sharm.
