So. I will write my review about the hotel. I gave it the highest rating due to a very positive holiday!
I'll start with some minuses that do not concern the hotel, but concern exclusively the "wonderful" company JOINup:
1. Delayed flight to Sharm for 10 hours! Accordingly, the company simply "scored" about compensation. The flight was provided by their own airline Skyup. To the question - "why"? The answer is crashes.
2. A hotel guide, who is also a representative of the company, works on the principle - "I'm not there. " That is, you get in touch at will, you arrange a meeting or a transfer - it also disappears. He looks at tourists as a piece of work that he is tired of.
3. Delayed flight back ...Again, postponed by 10 hours. After a "popular" explanation to the employees of the miracle company, they transferred us to the next flight, 2 hours earlier than they were supposed to fly. Only this time the airline is Bravo airway.

One plus. The transfer takes you to the hotel.

Summary.

The company has taken on too many obligations and does not fulfill them.
I highly recommend not using Joinup.

Now for the hotel itself.

1. Security system at the highest level. That is, there is nothing to be afraid of. Two controls. One is right at the entrance to the hotel. With armed guards. The second is near the entrance to the reception. There is also a metal detector. Security is not Russian-speaking, but very polite and friendly. Everything about everything (checking bags through a scanner) took less than a minute. In general, the guys are great.
2. Reception. There are several registration desks at once. You don't have to stand in line. We filled out the form-card (3 minutes) and you can move in. They immediately put on bracelets and give out two cards for the room and two cards for towels. They will take you to your room in an electric car (luggage will also be loaded). On the way, a short tour of the hotel will be held. Luggage will also be taken to the room and shown where and what is turned on (do not forget to thank, 2-5 dollars is enough).

3. Number. Since we were in a one-story building overlooking the garden / pool and partially visible to the sea. Private terrace with sun lounger and two armchairs with a table. Very comfortably. Doors - sliding to exit to the terrace (do not forget to close them, there were no cases of theft, but no one is safe from impudent tourists). The room itself is cozy and comfortable. The TV hangs on the wall, there are a number of Russian channels. Tile on the floor. Bedside rugs are also included. The bed is very large and comfortable. There is also an armchair, two tables and an ottoman. Mirrors are more than enough. Three jokes. One is full size. The wardrobe is spacious. A bunch of drawers and cabinets. True, everything creaks a little, but not fatally. Everything is civilized in the bathroom. Shower cabin, sink, toilet (with a hose for washing) and, accordingly, a bidet. There is no minibar. Water - 1 liter bottle per person. They bring it every day. Disposable gels and shampoos are changed as they are used.
The climate control system works great. And do not forget to leave bonuses for the cleaner. Better than 2-3 dollars. Then they excel in laying out towels, etc. Bed linen and towels are changed every day.
4. Territory. Big and chic. Two main pools (one with a bar on the water) and two children's "paddling pools"). There is enough space for everyone. Trestle beds are more than enough. Although with a large load it is better to take towels early and take sunbeds. There is a lot of greenery on the territory. Watered several times a day. Well done. Insect baiting is carried out at night. So I advise you to close the windows. There are really no insects on the territory. Nobody bites. And it won't crawl. The pools are disinfected at night. There is no chlorine. Depth maximum 150 cm.
5. Beach. Sandy. A bunch of trestle beds. Enter the sea only in special slippers! There are a lot of corals, and hedgehogs climb out to bask in the sun. So be careful.
There are a couple of cleared areas where the water is waist deep. The line to the cliff stretches for 100 meters. Accordingly, swim and dive only from the pontoon. For safety, a rope and buoys are stretched out. There are no sharks. Nobody will eat. Near the reef there are many fish of different colors and sizes. There is something to see (a mask is required, the salt concentration is high, the eyes will bake for a long time when hit). There is also diving (paid service, around $25). Generally very good.

6. Nutrition. Everything is gorgeous. The choice of food is huge. And plus there is a grill on the terrace. Fish every day. Seafood (shrimp, octopus, etc. ) - every two to three days. Sweets are immeasurable. For every taste and color. You can also drink coffee there. There are two devices. The Fries do the same. There is a small problem with juices (they are diluted with water), so I advise you to order cola / sprite, since there are enough staff - they will bring it quickly. In restaurants (Italian and fish) there is nothing to do, just go for a change.
There is also a Pilli pub, but there is more to drink and smoke hookah. Grill bar near the beach and a large pool - you can eat and drink. Pretty good. The pool bar is excellent. They pour it quickly (do not forget to give $ 1-2 every day to speed up service, then drinks will be brought directly to the trestle bed). Lobby bar, like any lobby bar. Stay near the reception. There is a terrace. Roomy. Animation view. You can drag drinks yourself, or you can give $ 1-2 and they will serve you. The smartest is Allah. Works fast, remembers everything. Respect.
7. Animation. Good. Starts from 10.00 near the small pool until 16.30-17.00. Girls and guys are great! They don't get bored. But not too intrusive either. No means no. Do you want competitions / exercises / yoga / water aerobics - please. After 21.00 animation starts in the amphitheater. You can see everything from the lobby. You can also sit down. Lots of places. Nice, well thought out. Invited professionals work.
For children, there is also animation and dancing in the kids club.
8. City. Everything is standard. They came out - everyone wants to sell something. Sticky, but not very strong. Trade everywhere and to the maximum.
9. SOHO Square. Nice, but not particularly impressive. Taxi back and forth 10-15$ no more! Always bargain.

Summary. I liked the rest. Everything is gorgeous. Respect and respect for the hotel staff (the main thing is not to give them a tip and you will be happy).
I recommend this hotel for rest and relaxation.
We will definitely come
