We are resting in Egypt for the third time, we have been to Dubai twice, 2 times in Turkey, there is something to compare with, but only now we decided to write a review. I would like to "STAND UP" for this hotel, which some 'comrades' unfairly cheat on. We live in Novomoskovsk, Tula region. My wife and I had not yet decided on a vacation, when a friend from a travel agency (we take all tours only from her) told my wife and I that there is an inexpensive tour to a decent Sunrise Diamond Beach hotel for 33t. R. for two, for 10 days from May 12 to May 21 (2013) I agreed, gave the money, and only after that in the evening (probably only Russians can do this) got on the Internet to read about the hotel and about the tour operator reviews. The mood from reading began to fall, especially about AnexTour. Zhenya said that everything was fine, so as not to spoil her mood before the holidays.
And here we are in Domodedovo. Airline UTair. They took off without delay. The flight went well, landing too. The flight attendants were polite and helpful.
Arrived in Sharm El Sheikh at 22h. 30 min. by local time. At the airport, in order not to pay for visas, we said the magic word ONLE SINAI, which was told to us by a friend from the travel agency, the Arab didn’t seem to like it very much, he didn’t have a kind face. And many of our people still paid, although I told them that it was not necessary. AnexTour met us. Everyone was checked according to the list, put on a bus and taken to the hotels. On the way, the guide told everything what is possible, what is not and how best. We arrived at the hotel at about half past midnight. Passports handed over, we were invited to dinner. After dinner, they immediately gave the keys to the room and cards for towels. Room 1116 and its location liked immediately. We do not like to hang around the floors on vacation, we prefer the 1st floor, left the balcony and went for a walk. The room is large, clean, there are no mosquitoes (although after reading the reviews, we took a lot of Raptors and similar products with us, they never came in handy).

The furniture, as written in the reviews, is not new, but everything is clean and comfortable. The room is located between the restaurant and the sea, the balcony overlooks the amphitheatre. To the beach 50-70 meters. Early in the morning I could not sleep and I went to explore the hotel. To be honest, without prejudice, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. liked the hotel very much. A lot of greenery, the territory is beautiful and clean, three swimming pools, each bar. Another bar on the beach, three restaurants. For 10 days of rest, we never regretted that we got to this hotel. We dined mainly in the central restaurant, we did not like Italian. On the beach you can have a bite to eat in a restaurant right on the seashore, pizza is not bad there. For ten days of rest, we have never met a boorish attitude towards ourselves, everyone smiles and asks how things are. In the restaurant, waiters constantly come up with questions about what to bring you. You ask to bring something and in a minute he brought it.
Although someone in the reviews wrote that the waiters will not wait, we have never seen this. The choice of food is huge, several types of fish, squid, chicken, meat in various forms. On the street every evening they cooked something different on the coals, it was always delicious. There were also many fruits and watermelons, apricots, apples, melons, oranges, I don’t remember everything. But their food is still boring, after a week I wanted a simple herring with fried potatoes like never before in my life. The Lobby Bar has decent wine and cocktails. Probably whoever comes for what, he gets it. Whoever travels and looks for only flaws, of course he will find them, or a crack somewhere in the tile on the floor behind the toilet (I also saw such a photo in the reviews), or a creaky door by the bedside table, or uneven plaster around the safe in the closet, it seems to me it’s even funny, to climb almost with a magnifying glass in the corners and behind the toilet and look for something.
Relax, enjoy the extraordinary sea and climate, swim in the beautiful sea, breathe the sea air, do water aerobics and play volleyball like my wife and I. Smile at people, treat them with respect and you will be treated the same way. There were few people on the beach, we sometimes came at 10 o'clock, the sunbeds were free, and on the second tier there were more than half of the consolidated places. The hotel had a lot of Italians, Poles and English, Russian-speaking 40 percent. We went to the disco several times, we liked it, they sing live, and every day there are different performers. You can go to 1000 and 1 night for a performance on Tuesdays and Fridays 35 dollars. per person with dinner, it's beautiful there, and beautiful horses gallop.
The day before departure, the guide from AnexTour warned us that our return flight would be at 20:00 instead of 20:00.30m. May 21 is moved to 4:00 p. m. 30m. May 22, and we were picked up at 12 noon and taken to another hotel, also 5 stars, the first line.

You should have seen this hotel, I don’t remember its name, compared to Diamond Beach
this is terrible, and the tours were more expensive than my wife and I took in Sunrise Diamond Beach, I asked the couple who were vacationing there. No choice of food. Far from the sea, the corals were really more beautiful than ours. This is how AnexTour extended our vacation for another half a day. We are not offended. At 2 am we were taken to the airport. The air carrier Vim Airlines, the plane is old, but it’s not crowded, they flew normally, which is what we want for everyone.
