I will start from the beginning for those who fly to Egypt for the first time. Upon arrival in Sharm, buy a visa at the airport ticket office, and not from a tour operator, where it costs 15 USD, and from him - 17 USD. Buy a visa, and then stand in line at the tour operator, where he tears off a ticket for a transfer and for those who were without a visa in their passport, he glues it, but demands 17 USD from you.
Upon arrival at the hotel, upon check-in, we were asked for 30 USD from the family for a good room, we said to settle in any, but then it turned out that all the rooms are the same, so give money only when you are settled, but you it does not suit you and you want to change the number. The rooms turned out to be beautiful, not luxurious, on the second floor in the central building, large, bright, clean with a view of the sea and the main entrance.
The duties of the hotel guide include only "pushing" excursions two to three times more expensive than other tour operators on the street. Moreover, if you bought a tour not from a hotel guide, then the guide does not allow you to take breakfast (paid for by you) with you on the road and they do not give you. Therefore, in the morning we made sandwiches with cheese and sausage for breakfast, wrapped them in napkins, took water and buns and put it all in the refrigerator in the room, and took it with us on the bus in the evening. But in the morning we looked at what tourists from other hotels ate, who were given breakfast, we realized that we did not miss, taking what we wanted ourselves. We went to Cairo with a visit to the museum and the pyramids in Giza, with a walk and lunch along the Nile for 80 USD. per person, the hotel guide sells the same for 180 USD. from a person.
This hotel has the best water park in Sharm, the slides are high, new and varied, the water park staff is polite and friendly.
But the sea carries a bus every 15-20 minutes. There are a lot of sunbeds with umbrellas on the beach, there is always enough for everyone. An excellent reef with a rich underwater world, you can swim and watch for hours, forgetting about time. And on the beach there is a good bar with drinks and food. Apparently due to the lack of a huge number of people and queues, the chefs prepare good drinks and burgers, shawarma, hot dogs, french fries, there are always a lot of vegetables and fruits.
On the second floor of the hotel, the bar prepares good coffee, it is possible with milk, and the presence of cane and dietary sugar is also pleasing.
The food is varied but specific, as elsewhere in Egypt, there was a huge variety of dishes, although rather modest and tasteless, but you will not stay hungry, you will always find something edible to your taste to eat.
Yes, I forgot to say that upon arrival at the hotel, you need to sign up for restaurants on the first day (Lebanese, Indian, English, Italian and Chinese) and take coupons with a day of visiting, the first visit is free. We decided to sign up for the second day, so there were no coupons for visiting the Chinese restaurant, which is very praised on the Tour of Truth website. Personally, I really liked Lebanese (I tried such dishes (I don’t know their name) for the first time, they were really colorful and national and very tasty, and in the rest - in Indian, English, everything was the same as everyone else in the main restaurant, (in Italian, it is positioned as the best, we didn’t get in, went on an excursion and couldn’t change the ticket, everything was busy).
My husband and I basically rest every year in a new country, a new hotel, so we would love to go to this hotel again and recommend it to friends, a good combination of price and quality. A tour to this hotel in August 2012 cost us 5.5 thousand UAH. per person for 11 nights, thanks to the good girl Varvara from the last-minute travel agency at the Heroiv Dnipra metro station in Kiev, but the tour operator "Let's go with us" was also ready to send us for that kind of money, just Varvara's offer was the first. Thank you for your attention, everyone have a pleasant and fun holiday.
