We rested at the end of November. Through Anex. Upon arrival, the hotel leaves a good impression. As far as we understood - initially the hotel focused on the above-average segment.
After the rashists stopped going to Sharm, the hotel survived the closure. And that's how a year, or maybe a little more, it began to function. Traces of downtime are found here and there. Overall, this is a 4 star hotel. But it costs like 5. And now in a nutshell about the Cons:
- on arrival we got a dirty room. Immediately asked to change. We replaced it with a slightly cleaner one - but the room had a door that led to the next room. She was closed. The hotels simply decided to make two separate rooms from a double room. In the evening, the neighbors came and after we heard the sounds of their toilet, their conversations, noises, etc. In a word, at night we went to the reception, met the guest relation manager - promised to relocate. In the morning, the toilet also dripped, but we

still got number 3. He was cleaner. But the sediment remained.
- Rooms are cleaned "insofar as". The Arabs, in principle, everything is "tap-blunder", and here this approach is felt everywhere.
- the kitchen is generally monotonous, but not bad. Lots of sweets, meat dishes. Few fruits, vegetables and herbs. After 3-4 days everything is already boring. We fell into a period when, due to low workload, waiters served in the main restaurant. We were waiting for an order for about 40 minutes))) A good snack bar, in particular deep-fried fish. La carte restaurants are nothing - high prices are valuable, but the dishes are not a fountain.
- among the staff there are employees. These can be found at the bar, on the territory. Yelling under the windows on the floor of the hotel and quarreling among themselves for the staff is ok. At 6-7 pm, yelling at each other under the doors of the guest rooms is also ok. Come and smoke under the doors of the guests - no problem. But there are exceptions: they fell on fairly competent employees.
- hotel tour agent Anex tour, it seems Ahmed. Selective with a cheeky demeanor and a great desire to milk you.
Say hello to him if you're there.
- pretty boring evenings. There are no thematic presentations.
- Here and there you can find "shards of former greatness" - a broken-down pool table, shabby furniture, greasy packaging from disposable sets in the bathroom (yes, be careful, because we got the impression that no one throws out disposable tubes, but simply "fill" for you in 100500 circles).

From the good:
- a beautiful, living corral. This is the biggest and probably the only + of this hotel.
- clean beach and sun loungers.
- always washed towels. Everything related to washing and cleanliness of linen is ok.
- quite a beautiful, well-groomed area.
- clean pools + one heated.

And the most juicy: when filling out the questionnaire, the wife left her email. These registered an account with her email on this site and posted a positive review))))
Most of the reviews here are fake.

What can be seen from the grammar and manner of presentation. Arab simply take the data of their customers and wind up the rating of the hotel.
If there is such an attitude to your data and privacy - think about what attitude it will have to your food, room, comfort, sanitation.

This hotel pulls on a solid 4 stars, but not 5. Don't be suckers, and don't overpay. All good.
