My husband and I rested at GRAND HOTEL SHARM 5 * 12 days in October, before that we read everything that was on the Internet about this hotel. And yet those who admire this hotel are right. Upon returning home, we realized that there was absolutely nothing to complain about and nothing to complain about. There are small claims to "tez-tour", but not to the hotel itself.
The hotel is brand new and can be due to many pluses. They settled us without any $ in a room overlooking the sea and those who came with us the same way, no one complained. regularly and impeccably, and most importantly with a constant open smile and joyful "Hello! " Have you ever seen that every morning the stairs of a huge territory and the paths in front of the buildings were washed with liquid soap? ! The rooms - there are moments - which strain some tourists (the room, as it were, is not completely renovated), we were indifferent to the stripes of putty between the joints of the tiles. The main thing is always clean and all the accessories are in their places, in the end, we only came to the room to take a shower and sleep. The territory is simply fabulously beautiful, with a cascade of pools and ornate transitions between buildings and an abundance of greenery, which is also constantly looked after by hotel employees.
The beach is yes, it is small for a large hotel, (BY THE WAY, THE SECOND PONTON WILL BE OPEN SOON), but we always took a place by the sea, since it makes sense to come to the sea early in October, we got up at 6.00 without any problems, since at 17.30 it is already dark, so you can safely spend the whole daylight hours at sea. You can safely leave the beach for breakfast in any of the restaurants, leaving your things on the sun loungers - everything will be in place before you arrive. The bar-restaurant on the beach will provide a California lunch, and the waiters from the bar from 10 am will bring you cocktails and ice cream and juices at your request. The service on the beach will offer you cold terry towels, straighten the mattress on the sun lounger and move it in the direction you need - this is for the most capricious.

The sea is a separate song. A gorgeous reef with an abundance of fish, there’s nothing to do there without a mask, so if you just like to flounder, then into the pools, since there are a lot of them, it seems like 7, we didn’t really count the exact number. We enjoyed the sea and the beauty of the underwater world. We went on different trips 3 times and returned again calmly found places on the beach and at 12.00 and 14.00... Animators - they constantly captivate people with something, quite positive guys. 3 days before our departure, I came to work at the reception Anya, a girl, helps a lot if questions and problems arise. In general, there are many Russian-speaking Egyptians in the service staff, in any case, if you do not know any language other than Russian, you will always be understood in restaurants and bars and at the reception.
Nutrition - I don’t understand those who say that the food in Egypt is bad. For example, we did not have time to try even half of what was offered. The abundance of both meat and fish dishes (fish is exceptionally good) in any preparation. Fruits - pineapples, persimmons, oranges, grapefruits, melons, pomegranates, apples, pears, etc. Salads, cold cuts, hot snacks - whatever your heart desires. As for baking, death to figures, it’s impossible to try, but after trying, don’t stop. Cunning chefs will also put on your plate what they think is especially tasty and it’s impossible to break away from this deliciousness. For breakfast, tea is both black and green, but instant coffee, but already at dinner you will be served freshly brewed delicious coffee. For those who do not want a full meal during the day, there are many bars by the pools, where there are pancakes and hot dogs and the notorious hamburgers, pizza and just a sweet table. In the evening, almost on the roof, a terrace with a stunning view of the sea and the hotel grounds - a hookah bar, for 4 euros - enjoy. Until 2 am disco for those who want to frolic until you drop.
Useful little things - calling is not profitable from pay phones using cards, it is much more convenient to buy a vodafone SIM card and not so expensive and convenient. There is an Internet at the reception, of course not with a Russian keyboard, but not expensive - 15 places. ) 30 min. From entertainment besides the hotel, if you don’t want to leave for a long time in a 10-minute walk "1001 nights" with a market, cafes, hookahs, etc. or for $ 3 by taxi and for the same 10-15 minutes to Nayama Bay (at least a break for the whole night with discos) or to Sharm el-Sheikh itself for 20 minutes and the same $ 3.
We were very pleased with the rest, we will go again with pleasure, especially since the hotel is constantly being improved, something is being quietly completed and completed there. to the hotel employees and they to you. I must admit, it was sometimes embarrassing for our Russian and Ukrainian especially vacationers, and despite this, we never noticed anyone reproach from the outside in our address. Relax, enjoy the wonderful sea and there will be no complaints from you or you.
