Returned May 26th. For the last 3 years we have rested exclusively in Egypt, I really like the Red Sea. The last trip left in the soul "a slight bewilderment. " I tend to believe that the fault is not the hotel. I agree with kardiolog2009 that due to the past hostilities they now have a crisis in the entire tourism industry. Therefore, I would recommend to refrain from traveling. The streets of Sharm are half empty, as are the hotels (this hotel is one of the busiest). On the way from walking around the city, we passed by completely closed hotels.
And now about the hotel:
1) Bartenders are inadequate (with the exception of a couple of people). Instead of fulfilling their main mission - to pour tourists, they wipe glasses looking into their eyes, wipe the bar counter, throw away bottles and do other garbage. It makes you feel like they're screwing you.

In addition, only 2 glasses of beer were poured on the beach in 4 hands, which, given the fact that there were four of us, strained our legs very much. True, at the end of the holiday, after numerous complaints from tourists, the bartender from the beach was changed to an adequate guy.
2) Poor nutrition. You will not be hungry, but there is no former variety of normal Egyptian 5s. For myself, I found an explanation for the consequences of the revolution.
3) The rest of the staff is welcoming and friendly.
4) The rooms were cleaned every day. In addition, we came across a cleaner with imagination, he made something out of towels every day, we had to financially stimulate his creativity.
5) The rooms are normal, nothing special or remarkable. There is no bath, well, to hell with her, they didn’t go after her.
6) Excursions were taken not from hotel guides at exorbitant prices, but from Ahmet from Plaza Travel (located on the street with Il Merkato not far from the hotel). A normal guy with adequate prices and speaks Russian well.
7) Animation is the weakest of all that we have seen in our 5 trips.

IMHO. OK hotel but not the right time to travel. Therefore, I would recommend to refrain from it. The money that is asked for him in June and July, he is not worth it. Instead of making discounts and attracting tourists, on the contrary, they raised prices and those who came now pay also for the comrade who did not come. Last year, for the same money, we rested in mid-June at ROYAL ALBATROS MODERNA. In comparison - heaven and earth.
