Rest from 17 to 26 September 2018 Two adults + one child (3 years. 8 months).
Tour operator - Anex Tour. The air carrier is AzurAir.
According to the tour operator, the rating is “I can’t rate”: Delivery from the airport and to the airport is good (on time, good buses, nice guide). Meeting with the guide the next day. He told 10 minutes about the hotel itself and its services, and 40 minutes it was the sale of various tours (which is quite logical, given the situation in the country). The guides were always on site from 08:00 to 20:00, but I didn’t have to contact them for the whole vacation, so I can’t evaluate their work.

According to the air carrier, the rating is “4.5”: The delivery of the aircraft in Boryspil was on time, the takeoff was delayed for 30 minutes (I think that it is not critical). The delivery of the plane in Sharm was on time, the takeoff was also delayed by 30 minutes. There were no transfers or flight delays. They did not feed on board, in comparison with WindRose, but I also do not consider this critical. A carrier of this level and for such flights is probably a widespread practice. The planes are normal, the seats are clean, the on-board staff is good.
By hotel:
1. Settlement - "5". We arrived at 20:30. Within a few minutes we were registered, put on bracelets and sent to dinner. After dinner, they immediately issued a room (3038). At first we were upset, because the view was on the slides and animation, and we understood that they would make noise and the child would not be able to sleep in the afternoon / late evening, but in the end everything turned out to be even better, given that the view was on the sea. Slides turn on from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00. Animation until 23:00.
2. Number - "4". I’ll point out right away that for me personally, a hotel room plays the last role, since first of all food for relaxation, and you come to the room to wash and spend the night, so the rating is “4”, but picky customers put b “2”. The room is "tired", the furniture is worn, the bathroom too. At the same time, everything in the room worked without any "sides". Cleaning is satisfactory if you immediately get 1 c. u. and you say what to do, then even excellent.
3. Restaurant-food-bars - "4.5". I compare food with two other hotels in Sharm, then in Sunrise it is definitely better. There were no crabs with oysters, but everything that should have been for a change and children (which is the main thing) - it was. I won’t write what fruits and meat they gave, but they ate and were never hungry. I took off 0.5 points for the tighter deterioration of furniture and cutlery. The beach bar, which is open from 10:00 to 17:00, is a big plus, as it serves "snacks" (pizza, burgers, hot dogs, fruits, vegetables, french fries, ice cream). The bar at the hotel and at the pools are standard. I also want to note a big plus that it was possible to take out food from the Restaurant. There were even disposable food trays on the counter at the entrance to the restaurant. When you are relaxing with a child who did not always eat at a restaurant, and then suddenly wanted to eat in a room or on the beach - it's just great.

4. Sea-beach-pool-slides-animation - "4.5". Just awesome. Short pontoon, beautiful reef, warm clear sea. Of the small minuses, the entrance to the sea - resembled a concrete slab (dead corals), where it was about waist-deep (when the tide was in), but the kids had enough. Beach cleaning every morning and evening. Lifeguard on the pontoon all day. Pools - standard, there is a children's "paddling pool". Slides - for children under 14 years old - generally super. Adults only move out a couple of times. For the first couple of days, the child swam in the sea, and then constantly asked for slides and pools. Animation is cool. I will describe only the evening for children. There were two Russian speakers and an Italian (the lighter is still the same). Children simply squeaked when they were seen. In the afternoon - there were some dances by the pool, volleyball, ping-pong, stretch marks on the grass (yoga or something).
5. Personnel - "5". Very friendly and loyal to everything you do (within reason of course). Was pleasantly surprised by this.
6. Territory - "4.5". Cleaned up constantly. The numbers are being updated, so I think that in 1-2 years both the numbers and the territory will be at "5". Big enough to walk around and not big enough to get tired. Everything is within 5 minutes, regardless of where you are settled.
Conclusion: The hotel is worth the money. Of the benefits - the attitude of the staff, the sea, entertainment, slides, food. Minus one - the state of the rooms, but again, for me personally, this minus is completely covered by everything that is described above. Recommend for families with children.
