We took a tour for 8 nights 9 days (11.08-19.08). Departed and arrived on time, there were no delays. The first problem began with the settlement. We arrived in Sharm at 2.30 am and were already at the hotel at 4.00 am. It is clear that we were not seated, but they said that perhaps at 9.00 in the morning something would work out. They didn’t put on bracelets, they said that it wasn’t allowed. Breakfast was not allowed, but water was given out at the bar. So we waited until 9.00, at the reception, and they tell us, they say the number is still busy, wait until 12.00. and so we were fed breakfast right up to 14.00. It's good that at least around 12.30-13.00 we were still given bracelets and we went at least had lunch.
Rooms:
We were put in an old room, but there was air conditioning, a refrigerator, a TV and a bathroom. We immediately found a problem with the lock in the door and the safe (it was broken). The husband called the reception and within 30 minutes they changed the safe for a new one and sorted out the door.

Room cleaning :
Bed linen was not changed. Towels changed 2 times. Always laid out figurines on the bed.
Territory:
Most likely it was because of this point that they gave 5ku. Pleases the eye with its variety of flowers, trees, bushes. There are also 9 pools and a very large number of sun loungers, so there is enough space for everyone.
Would not recommend to go here to parents with small children and the elderly, because. a large number of marble steps.
Beach:
Clean, well maintained. Open from 8.00-18.00, as well as the pool.
There is also a bar on the beach, which operates from 10 am.
Sea:
Another point that gave this hotel 5ku. I immediately write that there is no point in swimming without a mask and snorkel. When descending from the stairs, the depth is immediately about 40-50 meters. The reef is alive and polished with fish, corals of different colors. It is bad that there is only one entrance to the sea, the second for reconstruction. And no matter how much we swam, all the time near the exit there was a crowd of people who amazed with their stupidity: I am afraid or not afraid to swim, that is the question. If you can’t swim or are afraid, then it’s better not to go into the sea at all. Because of such a one who didn’t know if she wanted to go into the water or not, she kept everyone (she just stood on the last step and didn’t go up, didn’t go down), in the expectation that she was an epiphany, a couple of people scratched on the reefs.
Request to the hotel management: if there is a red flag on the beach (it is forbidden to swim), tell the lifeguards that they would not let people with inflatable circles and those who clearly do not know how / are afraid / climb with children to swim. The presence of a large number of pools will well compensate for the time not at sea, but there.
Animation:
It seems to be there, but it's not there either. For those people who want contests, dances, etc. it will be boring. I was called 2 times during my stay at the hotel for yoga and that's it.
Bars:

The hotel has bars that are open from 10.00 to 17.00.
On the beach, they pour it into reusable plastic cups, so be mentally prepared.
If you are in the bar itself (Pool Islad, for example), then they will pour it into the glass that is taken out of the dishwasher.
If around the same bar near the pool - then plastic. But be careful, and here's why: we decided to swim in the pool in the morning and I went to take 2 glasses of cola (it was around 10.00, the bar had just opened). Upon arrival at the sun loungers, I felt that the glass smelled strongly of bleach and lowering my eyes, I saw that there was a piece of dried bleach on the inner wall of the glass. On the 2nd glass, the situation is similar. I returned to the bar, pointed out this problem and they changed everything for me with an apology. And this is not the first time.
Food:
There is no variety as such, but everything is very tasty and satisfying, you will not stay hungry.
Regarding the free dinner at Ala-cart: only if you buy drinks, you will have a free dinner at the restaurant.
I advise you to come at the beginning of the opening, if you do not want to stand in line for 10-15 minutes due to the fact that all the tables will be occupied.
Internet:
When they give you the key to the room, there will be an insert that there are wi-fi distribution in two places: the Reef lobby and the lobby bar. Do not believe it, only in the lobby bar: before breakfast ( around 5-6 am) or after 12 at night.
Request to the administration: correct the information in the insert that is not correct (regarding lunch and the Internet). And if you are 5k, then the Internet should be adequate.
Tip for tourists: buy an orange card or vodafone and you will be happy (only have your passport with you).
Tourist advice:
- take fumigants with you, there are a lot of mosquitoes;
- if possible, take your glasses with you (a large number now), so that drinks would be poured into them, because there are options for poisoning or herpes;
- mask, snorkel, fins - without them there is nothing to do in the sea.

- if you want a normal Internet - buy a card right away;
- if possible, if the tour operator can help, ask for your arrival to be around 12.30-13.0 - you can immediately settle in the room upon arrival
- so that the locals do not deceive you when buying, $ 1 - 17.7 pounds (local currency). We just decided to buy a present for our relatives and it cost 24 pounds on the counter (actually it is $1-1.2), and the seller told us right off the bat that it was $3 and then he gave us a discount;
Administration request:
- solve the problem with the queue in the dining room;
- make / buy a normal wi-fi with the Internet;
- pay special attention to washing reusable plastic dishes;
- change the information in the insert that is currently relevant.
If there is an opportunity, then I will fly to this hotel again, despite such some nuances)
