We rested at the hotel from 10/07/2008 to 10/17/2008. The operator "Tez-tour", the air carrier "Transaero", flew out of Moscow, the cost of a ticket for 11 days-10 nights is 53.000 rubles for two "all inclusive" (I will immediately make a reservation that this was a special offer and they bought the ticket already on August 8, i. e. for 2 months) I am 25 years old, my husband is 29.
The choice of the hotel was not easy, because. it is new, and there were practically no reviews on the Internet, the travel agency advised us to go to a more time-tested hotel, but as it turned out: THE HOTEL CHARMED US!!!
Departed from Moscow at 10.35, arrival in Sharm (taking into account the winter time difference of 2 hours and the flight time of 4.5 hours) at 13.00 local time + an hour for visa processing and 1.5 hours for baggage claim and transfer = in the hotel arrived at 15.30. Flight back to Moscow at 21.55 local time. Accordingly, we almost completely spent the day of arrival and the day of departure at the hotel. There were such tourists who, having paid for 8 days, actually spent 6 days on vacation, incl. pay attention to the departure time.

Transfer. Everywhere Russian-speaking employees of the Tez-tour in their bright yellow shirts. Everything is clear, they will always help, prompt, etc. Bus-Mercedes for about 40 seats, transported to two hotels, the guide made a short excursion on the bus. Air conditioning, cleanliness... No complaints.
Resettlement. Upon arrival at the hotel, the workers unloaded the suitcases, we were offered juice. The meeting with the guide was scheduled for the next morning. Settled Russian-speaking employee of the hotel. We got room 508 in building 31 on the 1st floor. The suitcase was delivered within 10 minutes. They wanted to change the room to the 2nd floor, they thought the sea would be visible, they offered a room in building 29. It turned out everything was the same, but it bordered on the pool. The prospect of listening to constant noise and squeals did not suit us and we stayed in the first room. We did not regret it: calmly, no one shuffles under the windows.
Number. Approximately 16 sq. meters room, a corridor with a closet, shower-toilet joint. Finishing rooms under aged limestone, all the furniture is new, no complaints. In the shower: shampoo, shower gel, soap, a cap so as not to wet your head, a normal hair dryer (cold and 2 hot drying speeds, Baraka water for brushing your teeth, 2 bath and 2 facial towels. Balcony 5 meters: 2 chairs and In the room: a bed 2 by 2 meters, 2 bedside tables, 3 table lamps, a table, an armchair, a pouffe, a TV cabinet (a refrigerator is hidden in it), a Sharp-new-ORT TV and Music Box-Russian channels. There is an individual safe in the closet. All money and valuables were kept in it, nothing was missing. There is no safe at the reception.
The territory of the hotel is small, from one end to the other, 10 minutes, located in terraces, with stairs of about 5-10 steps, they did not bother at all and were very appropriate. The rooms are located in 2-storey houses with 12 rooms each + 5 buildings in family rooms, they were not.
Pools-their 8. depth from 50 cm-for children, up to 130 cm. Chemistry is added in the evening, they are cleaned with water vacuum cleaners in the morning, they are always impeccable.

Sea: a good sea, a beautiful living reef, a dime a dozen fish, entering the sea let us down - one ladder, a queue used to be created, many fell on the slow Germans, but believe me, our domestic specimens came across....Especially Ukrainians and Russians loved to climb to the reef, merrily waving their hands and calling their fellow villagers. It’s a pity that they didn’t think to sit on their ass....The sea is not always calm, a strong wind raised large waves several times. For 2 days they closed the sea for swimming, for those who loudly shouted that they were not in the pioneer camp, they opened it, it ended with them being carried out by a wave to the reef and burns on corals. Well, every blacksmith of his own happiness. There was a married couple - a traumatologist - their family doctor - she fell off the ATV, and he was taken out to the reef - the rest of the vacation fed the fish with their sores. So: the sea is not for children, all in the pool.
Contingent. 30 percent Germans, 30 Russians, 15 Italians, 10 crests and a few Poles and Romanians. By the end of the vacation, many people from Western Ukraine arrived, I will omit the details, any nationality has not very well-mannered people, apparently we had a chance to meet them in all their glory, we did not like this fact.
Beach. Sandy, sunbeds on the beach were engaged in the morning, we lovers of sleep had to be content with sunbeds on the second tier. Towels and a bag for them you will find in the room, replacement every day.
Restaurants. 4 free, 2 by prior reservation, 2 paid, 4 bars, a bar with pancakes and waffles, a grill bar. I won’t talk much about food - they added 3 kilos !! ! Everything is delicious, the pastries are divine. You won't be left hungry. We preferred the Sharm restaurant in the morning and evening and the Reef in the afternoon.
Service. No complaints, everything is clean, unobtrusive, but timely. True, in the park, with a large influx of visitors in the restaurant, I had to wait 5-10 minutes for drinks and sometimes cutlery, but this is tolerable.
Animation: 2 Italians-funny stoners, always cheerful and groovy, 3 Germans, Russian girl Lena from Yaroslavl. On the beach darts, volleyball. In the pools there are gymnastics, aqua aerobics, water polo, in the Lobby there are 2 tennis and 2 billiard tables, children of 10-12 years old played all the time. Every evening at 22.00 performance in the animation bar. Cons: there were repetitions of the program, there is no Russian music. The disco with Russian music arranged on the initiative of the Russian animator Lena caused indignation among foreigners, in general they were offended....There is no children's animation.
Guides: Arabs Masoud and Nadir. Nadir is a frowning fellow, but Masud simply pleased with his radiant benevolence. All questions were always solved, he helped in everything. The hotel was from 8.30 to 11.00 and from 17.30 to 21.30.

Tours. We went from the mes-tour to the "Baths of Moses" - crap - do not waste your time and money, although very well organized, Diving on the coral islands and the Turkish bath left an indelible amazing impression. Have not been anywhere else.
Taxi. To the old city 3 dollars, to Naama 2 times a day round trip bus from the hotel by appointment. It was possible to get to another hotel, there was an all-inclusive system for tourists from our hotel, but everything suited us here.
Medical insurance. We took the first-aid kit with us, but I didn’t think about drops for the ears, and my husband, as luck would have it, had an earache. Reso had insurance and we decided to use it. The insurance policy had a telephone number for calling the service department. I wanted to call at the reception, but the hotel staff and the guide persuaded me for 1 hour that the doctor had already been called to another number, he works with this insurance company and as soon as he comes to us, we will call the insurance company from his phone. They came, they called and... they told me that it was necessary to inform the service department before calling the doctor, but they would pay for the call, because. if the doctor's services cost up to $ 200, it is enough just to inform the service department. In short, if something happens, do not listen to anyone and call the indicated numbers, there will be less hassle.
Total: we have a wonderful relaxing holiday, indelible impressions and a desire to visit this hotel again... Good luck to everyone, have a nice holiday. I will gladly answer any questions you have!
