Arrival. . .
We flew to Sharm by UIA around 7 am and were brought to the arrivals terminal. Honestly, for my 5 times in Egypt, this is the most trash terminal and it is only open for the arrival of tourists from Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia - dirty, noisy. Rush, for example, arrives at a new terminal, where everything is available. Who wants to buy a SIM card from a local operator - know that in this terminal there is only Vodaphone Egypt right in the baggage claim hall and there are 50 people in line to this operator, so it's best for someone to immediately take a queue to the operator, and someone to catch luggage
Arrival. . .

We arrived at the hotel in the morning around 8 o'clock. They immediately took away our documents and put on bracelets in order to use the entire infrastructure. After breakfast, we changed in the luggage room and went to the main pool, which is located near the reception and lobby. In total, the hotel has 2 swimming pools - 1 main and 1 for children. The children's pool is located near the children's room.
At about 12 o'clock we were informed that our room was ready and we could move in.
Number. . .
Room 1151 overlooking the airport, although he did not strain from the word - AT ALL. Yes, with the balcony open you can hear takeoffs and landings, but when the door to the balcony was closed, it was calm. The room did not face the sunny side, which was also cool, since the sun did not bother. Everything is standard in the room - since there were 3 of us, there was a double bed and a single bed, a kettle, TV, refrigerator, wardrobe, safe. What I liked was that finally there were Ukrainian channels on TV.
Infrastructure. . .
Wi-fi on my Iphone 11 worked fine only in the lobby and in a few places in the hotel, although my wife and son Xiaomi - so wifi worked much better on them and in most of the hotel and sometimes on the beach.
To use wi-fi, you need to ask the receptionist for a piece of paper with a password. This password is valid for 7 days, then you can get another one for free.
There is table tennis, pool (billiards). Animators offer darts
Food. . .
There is a main restaurant on the second floor (breakfast from 7 am, lunch from 12:30, dinner from 18:30), a bar in the lobby (around the clock, only alcohol there is somehow on schedule - like from 10 am), a pool bar (open from 10 am, and from 12 pm - burgers, pita and pizza), the beach bar works exactly the same as the pool bar and several A-la carte restaurants (they are by appointment, which can be done at the terminal near the reception and they PAID).
The food is excellent - I will not list all the menus, but there were shrimp, crabs, squid, meat, fish, chicken, duck, vegetables, etc.
Beach. . .

The main problem is that the beach is shared with the recently opened 5 * Sunrise Remal Beach. Not enough space for 2 hotels. To be honest - at 6:30 in the morning it was still realistic to take sunbeds - after that, it was already problematic. Therefore, if you have someone who does not like to sleep for a long time and can calmly survive the beginning of breakfast or not attend it at all, feel free to send him to the beach to take your place.
The pontoon is one and short - only 50 steps, but again - 3 hotels come to swim on this pontoon (two Sunrise and another Albatross), so the pontoon is crowded near it. The reef is great, lots of fish.
It takes about 5 minutes to go to the beach from the hill, and from 7 in the morning the shuttle starts to go every 10 minutes, but walking is faster))))
Miscellaneous. . .
The hotel is located in such a place that there are no regular minibuses. You can only get to the old city by taxi - 8-10 dollars per car one way, that is, to the old city and back - 16-20 dollars per car
If you walk along the embankment for 1.5 km, then behind the Baron Resort there is a market, in principle, with good prices (more expensive than in the old town, but cheaper than in hotels). We bought a snorkeling mask there for $16 and green mango for $2, and red (royal) for $4 per kg.
But the coolest option for this area is to order a transfer from the George Clooney store (+201090161408). They will answer you on Viber with all the instructions. We bought mangoes there for 1.5, masks there for 12. Very good prices for fruits, food, sweets, cosmetics.
