We went to Egypt for the first time and chose a hotel can be said at random. The choice fell on this hotel, many good reviews on this site were decisive.
By the nature of my activity (frequent business trips), I have been, perhaps, in more than two hundred hotels and inns of different stars, comfort and in different countries. Therefore, I was not embarrassed by a small room of squares so 15-16. In principle, there was everything you needed (a clean bed, a TV, a wardrobe with hangers, a table, several cabinets, air conditioning, a hairdryer in the bathroom (for the wife), a set of soap and soap accessories, a bottle of mineral water, a refrigerator without a minibar. Which, in principle, further confused and I didn’t like it, this was the absence of brushes in the hotel (to the question, how to wash it off, the answer was: you should be cleaned by the attendants : )), but oh well, they somehow adapted and there is still a very narrow niche with a shower. As a result, we did not move the screen and washed splashing all over the bathroom. But these small flaws could not overshadow our holiday. Moreover, the sea view from the terrace compensated for all the shortcomings (room 601, building 30). Regarding the rooms, as I understand it, such a standard of rooms is present throughout the hotel and you, if you wish, can only change the location of the room, everything else will be the same. Germans and Italians, for example, live in the same rooms. By the way, we did not have to choose the number, it was the first one that was offered to us. And we waited exactly 10 minutes from the moment we arrived at the hotel. Some vacationers who moved in with us were not satisfied with the rooms. Within 30-40 minutes, the rooms were changed, and without $ 20-30, and everyone seemed to be satisfied.
With regards to tips, it is true, as it was written here earlier, they do not work at all. We only left a tip to one well-served Mahmoud on the beach and cleaning Ahmed. He did not clean very well, but he tried, he was frightened and obviously valued his work. Finishing about the room, it is worth noting that the water was always cold and hot, there was no dripping from anywhere in the bathroom and in general it was very quiet and comfortable, the presence of neighbors behind the wall was not felt. Only two Russian-speaking channels are shown on TV: Music Box and First National, the rest are about 40 channels in German and Arabic. Whoever wants to iron things, immediately pay attention to the bag in the closet and the leaflet with the price list. It must be filled out, and correctly, and indicate the number. the things you put in the bag. Subsequently, you will be invoiced upon check-out from the hotel, and things will be brought in 1-2 hours.

With regards to nutrition. We didn't visit all the restaurants. Moreover, for example, Tapas can be conditionally called a restaurant : ) There you need to order at least 5 dishes at the same time. As a result, the champignon dish consists of one mushroom, the anchovy dish consists of one anchovy, etc. , in general, it’s cool, but no more. We ended up going to Reef, El Sheikh and Sharm. And the most varied food in Sharm. There was no lunch in it, but we had breakfast and dinner in it. Now there is a sufficient influx of tourists, so in order to enjoy watermelon, melon, peaches and all sorts of goodies, it is better to come early. This applies to all restaurants. In general, everything is quite tasty, but nothing more. For special food lovers and gourmets, it may not be very interesting : ) At one of the bars near the pools, they prepare such delicious pancakes with different jams and nuts to choose from!! ! In general, upon arrival we gained 5 kg of weight : )
The sea is beautiful, we were lucky, it was almost completely calm, and only on the last day, the sea was closed due to waves, however, this did not prevent Russian-speaking tourists from swimming : ) There are three descents into the sea. Two on the main beach and one on a small beach, to the right of the main one, where instead of a sunbed, there are tents. Very cozy and nice place! The people usually already occupied the entire main beach at 7 am, and there, there were still places at 10 am. We actually spent most of our time there. By the way, at low tide from that beach there is a descent to the sea, where a wonderful sea world of small shells and a huge number of crabs of different sizes opens up. By the way, they are practically not on the main beach. A huge number of fish. , I don’t really get into them, but I definitely saw a barracuda, a turtle, a moray eel and a stingray more than once.
Pools on the territory of 9 pieces. But we are not fans of lying around the pools when there is such a sea ! ! But not everyone shared our opinion. There were also those who did not climb out of the pool.
As many have noted here, the area is really not small, clean and very green.
And about the loss of valuable things. In any Malay normal hotel, there is always a reminder about keeping money and valuables in a safe. In my opinion, this is a normal practice all over the world and we should take it as a rule. So here, the money, documents, fotik were in our safe. As a result, the impressions of the rest did not spoil : )
I will say a few more warm words about Tez Tour. The guys are great, everything is organized at a high level, from reception at the airport to excursions.
The rest was great, a lot of unforgettable moments, which we wish you too!

ps Some very positive feedback turned out : )) In fairness, it must be said that, for example, our neighbors on the beach complained to us for half a day about how they were leaking from the ceiling, how they could not get plumbing because of the lack of hot water and how they Finally the front door slammed shut and wouldn't open. It was strange to hear everything, because everything was fine with us : ) Maybe it's all about the mood...
I'll post pics in the next email.
