Recently returned from Sharm. Rested with my husband (young couple). There are no beginners in foreign holidays, there is something to compare with.
We chose the hotel for a long time. The main criteria were:
1) Coral reef (fans to watch underwater life);
2) Measured rest;
3) Relatively new hotel with good service.
And now a little about everything!
Service.
Initially booked a room with a sea view, which was received upon arrival at the hotel. Cleaning in the room every day (at 4-). For $2 they made elephants and crocodiles.
Hotel.

It seemed that the hotel was covered by a tsunami a couple of times. Or maybe there was a termite infestation, as most of the "furniture interior" showed signs of abuse (chips, cracks, scuff scratches). But the building is still standing, which pleases. The paving stones along the perimeter of the main building are hewn out of the rock - all the shoes are rubbish! Lovers of a clean environment - not here! What pleased - a lot of greenery on the territory of the hotel.
The pool is big enough. Enough of it for everyone, even sparrows! They just happily splash around in a flock of 10-15 pieces. in the waterfall that feeds the pool. Once every 5 days, the territory is covered with a diesel plant to repel insects. Athas! Save who can! )
At the end of August there were about 20-30% Russians, 40% Europeans, 30% Arabs. BUT on the night of August 31 to September 1, the situation changed dramatically due to the end of Ramadan. 25% of the Russians were exchanged for camels, and on September 1.60% of the Arabs were already in the hotel! And on this occasion, a great feast of the Arabs took place in the canteen-"restaurant"! Not only the local sausage was eaten, but also unripe dates! Since that time, the dining room has become like a gypsy camp: screams, songs and hum.
The presence of the Arabs was felt EVERYWHERE, especially as roommates. They managed to turn on a series of local topics at full volume at 5 in the morning, constantly commenting on the main character at the top of their voices.
And their kids at that time rushed headlong along the corridors, trying to wake up all living things in the hotel. In order to drown out all this chaos, all the doors were caulked with their own hands.
I am neutral towards all nationalities. I have been to Egypt many times. But this has never been seen or heard before! !
Food.
Lovers of delicious food - DEFINITELY not here! Without any exaggeration - every day the same thing! As they say, until you see it yourself, you won’t believe the reviews on the Internet) One type of fish was fried 1 time in 9 days. Rice, spaghetti, potatoes - not cooked. There was no fruit, except for the daily orange ration. lost weight)
Animation.
The pool has a good animation all day, looks like a Turkish one. You won't be bored. In the amphitheater, animation is usually based on the enthusiasm of 1 animator. He is a DJ, presenter and artist.

The tour from Tez lived up to expectations. The guide at the hotel (Ahmed) does a good job. Really solves problems.
Sea.
The promised bus appeared on the 6th day and disappeared again. Therefore, we walked for 10 minutes through hell. So count on your two)
On the way to the sea, they fed and watered six cute little dogs)
Admire the coral reef! You don’t even have to go on excursions (snorkeling), there’s just enough here! We saw a sea turtle. Panton is short and there is only one for 3 hotels. But there are plenty of places to get in and out. The descent from Pantone into the blue abyss is a little scary and not comfortable.
Nice sandy beach. There are enough sun loungers for everyone. The bar is open from 11 am. Buy water in supermarkets and take it with you, as there is no water in the bars at all.
In general, the sea for such a price 5+. But if funds allow, the 1st coastline 5 * (Melia Sinai or Sharm) is better.
About everything.
Taxi drivers have lost their conscience. Less than 7 bucks refuse to go. And the one who agrees for 5 bucks at the end presents that for each passenger 5, including the carrier himself. Total 15$. So negotiate a fixed price right away!
The nearest supermarket is 15-20 minutes walk from the hotel.
The hotel has severe discrimination on bracelets (colors). The staff first looks at the color of the bracelet, then in the face and according to the color of the attitude.

That. we put the hotel 3 *, but taking into account the beach 4- *. In short, the hotel does not have a good manager!

P. S. Beware of unwashed glasses, powerful air conditioners and ice yuppies!
