Flew with Join Up, terrible tour operator!
When buying a tour there, the flight was only in the evening, it was possible to fly back in the morning (cheaper) or in the evening (more expensive), they chose more expensive and in the evening. As a result, they flew there with a flight delay of 3.5 hours, and instead of 20:25 they moved the flight earlier to 07:40, then before departure they moved it to 10:10. The plane was half empty, they overpaid in vain, they still flew away in the morning and lost the day.

About the hotel.

We flew with a large family and friends (11 people in total), one room was a suite for three, the rest were ordinary. Upon check-in, they asked to be given nearby rooms, they gave us suite 619 and room 211. Far from each other. Then friends flew in and asked them to settle closer to us, at the reception they answered that there were no available rooms, I say right next to us 212 is empty! He began to call someone, as a result, with a disgruntled face, he gave his friends the neighboring number 212.

Suite 619 is a very dirty old room.
Our standards 211 and 212 are slightly better, but also old.
Located right next to the transformer, buzzing is unrealistic! But we didn’t sit in the rooms, we just came to sleep and passed out.

The hotel is under renovation, according to the hotel staff, a quarter of the rooms are working, the rest are being renovated. There are few people, Ukrainians and Arabs, they have Ramadan now, all decent Arabs are at home, and poor Arabs go on vacation, the prices for tours at this time are minimal.

The hotel area is not bad, although we liked Savoy, Sierra more, we are in Sharm for the 4th time. At taf-taff we ate from the beach a couple of times, but it was close on foot, in our company there were 5 children from one year to 12 : )

Not all bars work, there are few people, only Indian and Italian restaurants work by appointment, 1-2 times a week! ! ! We only got into the Indian one, there was nothing fish on the menu, we ordered spicy veal, delicious.

I liked everything in the main restaurant! I don't know how you can write in the reviews that there is nothing to eat!
Always full of fruits (watermelon, melon, dates, peaches, apricots, grapefruits, oranges, bananas)
The meat is different, I really liked the lamb stew mmmmm ..... , delicious Peking duck, veal stew and cutlets, chicken, there was different fish, squid
Not enough greens, only a couple of times, fresh vegetables, steamed vegetables, the kids ate pumpkin, broccoli, zucchini, our older ones loved pasta, french fries, omelettes with vegetables and meat, pizza, burgers.
In the morning I ate falafel and pickled eggplant and their soft white cheese, the kids ate yogurt with cereal, chocolate-honey-jam drizzled, delicious fig jam, had peanut butter a couple of times. Yes, a lot of food, everything is fresh and tasty!
The only negative: no juice, only artificial sweet water, and all sorts of soda. Coffee is also instant. But there was milk, on the beach too.


They drank beer, light, liked it, rum-cola, gin and tonic, the wine is not tasty, they didn’t try anything else, but other people drank a lot : )))
We went to the sea and to the pool, in the main pool there is salt water.
On the sea in the morning with my girlfriends went to yoga, belly dancing. At the pool in the morning, too, yoga, water aerobics, water polo. All activities are easy, for those who at least sometimes go in for sports - not interesting, too easy. Evening shows some even liked. A good venue is the amphitheater.

We were lucky with the weather, just fine, in the daytime up to 41, the sea and pools are about 25, it is comfortable to swim. We dived and watched the fish, but the reef was so-so, the best reef was at the Continental Hotel, but the hotel itself is dumb. It was good for children to go into the sea, bulk sand, somewhere waist-deep for a child of 7 years old.
