Before flying for a long time we could not decide on the choice of region and resort, but we decided to stay in Sharm el-Sheikh. Friends who often fly here said that the level of hotels here is higher, and the sea is very beautiful and rich. I can only agree with the second. I don’t know how it is in other hotels, but in ours it was rather weak with comfort. And the very concept of comfort among the Egyptians is peculiar. Everyone is friendly, smiling, but this does not resolve issues. We traveled with my husband and child. Check-in at 14:00, we were settled a little earlier. We asked for a non-smoking room, but we were not heard. We went around 5 rooms with the staff until we chose the right one. The furniture in all was loose, worn, and far from new, but not the point. But the most interesting thing is the setting itself. Double room. One room is something between a living room and a kitchen-studio. A child slept in this room. There is a sofa, armchairs, a kitchen counter, a bunch of cabinets, although this is not functional, just a view. The only thing that was in working condition was a sink with water, but for what purpose it is intended, it is not clear. . There are no dishes, and even a kettle with cups and water are in a completely different place. In general, a solid abstraction. The bathroom is medium in size, nothing out of the ordinary, a large second room, a comfortable bed, a spacious wardrobe with a safe, well, that's basically it. There were bathrobes in the room, but slippers had to be requested separately. Cleaning is below average, you can forget about washing the floors every day, just catch the cleaner and insist on it. The Internet in the hotel catches only in the lobby, in other parts of the hotel, including the room, it simply does not exist. The territory itself is very beautiful, a lot of greenery, palm trees, bushes and flower beds. Several swimming pools, there are also heated, there is a warm children's pool. Well done guys animators, coped with their duties perfectly. Good and evening shows with discos, both for kids and for our age. The first walk was undoubtedly to the pyramids, Cairo itself is very different from the resort area, and the prices here are much cheaper. Although we traveled with the child for almost the whole day, the trip turned out to be interesting and not tiring, even for a child. The bus is very comfortable, there is air conditioning, which turned on only on request, and did not work like crazy, and such a necessary toilet on a long trip. I really liked the museum and the exhibition of ancient papyrus, and the little one was impressed by the walk along the Nile. There was also a very tasty lunch, which was already included in the price. We could not resist, and also bought a mega-safari, my husband was already delighted with it. Now about the beach. You have to go down the stairs to it, but because of this, the wind is almost not felt. The sea is really very beautiful and rich in different inhabitants. I advise you to swim in corals, because there is a high probability of getting hurt on corals. I can write about the sea for a very long time, but I think that everything is clear anyway, it is amazing, warm and clean! What can I say about food. We immediately liked the restaurant on the second floor. There and the choice of food seemed more, and somehow even tastier. You can also eat outside at tables. There is a lot of food, and most of it is very tasty. There were incomprehensible dishes, but this is the standard for all-inclusive hotels in most hotels, except for luxury ones, of course. I liked the presence of good juices and fruits, seafood and tasty meat in large quantities. Outcome. If you are not very picky about the room and cleaning, then the rest of the hotel should suit you.
