We live in the Crimea, so we can say that we are spoiled by the sea. Howled in different parts of the Crimea, in different levels of mini boarding houses, ranging from cheap to elite. It was the first time in Egypt. so I will unwittingly draw analogies with the Crimea. We went for Christmas, from 5 to 12 January.
Let's start with the tour operator. We chose the best option for the money, the cheapest one was from the Anex tour. from the rest it was a couple of hundred more expensive. Caused more negative than positive. At the airport in Sharm, they really took 17 bucks for a visa instead of 15, but I was mentally prepared for this and did not go in cycles for the sake of 4 bucks (from two passports). The hotel guide, in fact, almost did not give information about the hotel and the country - he immediately began to talk about excursions. About the fact that there is a children's room, I learned on the second day from a Russian animator. Then an unpleasant moment - they took an excursion from Aneks - a boat trip, but there was no excursion on the appointed day - it was postponed due to bad weather, and the hotel guide did not even bother to warn about it. Good. that he bought an international SIM card, he called him on the phone. And the biggest negative from the hotel guide - we had a flight back at 9-30 in the morning, the bus arrived at the hotel at 5-30 (actually arrived at 6-30), we were the last to be picked up by hotels), and so , in the evening I approached the guide and clarified that they would prepare breakfast for us to go. I already ordered you - was his answer. In the morning there was no breakfast, at the reception they shrugged. It's good that they made sure and the day before departure they scored hamburgers in a diner near the pool.
Now about the hotel itself. Upon arrival at the hotel, as has been repeatedly written, they beg 30 bucks for a room with a good view. Here you have to choose - either a view of the pools with illumination, or not pay and they will give you a room with a side sea view and a view of the construction site. We chose the option with payment and did not regret it - in the future, the problems were solved within 10 minutes. Upon checking into the room, I immediately checked the taps, shower, everything worked. The safe did not work and there was not enough baby bed. The bed was brought in 10 minutes, the safe was made in 15.
Food is plentiful and varied. Compared to the Crimean buffet, the choice is much larger, but nevertheless, the set of dishes is the same every day. Tip - order restaurants for the last 4 days, then dinner will not seem so monotonous.
Everything was fine with the stomachs until 4 days, until we visited a Vietnamese restaurant. The food there is so spicy that the stomachs could not stand it.
The Italian restaurant has some kind of strange system of restrictions. If you order one dish, then the second is not allowed. I barely begged for a second soup for myself (the first was ordered by my wife), in return we were deprived of dessert. Taking into account the fact that they do not understand Russian in this restaurant and actually speak English too, visiting it left an unpleasant aftertaste. The only plus - the wine was poured from bottles and it tasted more or less (dry).
In general, alcohol is a separate conversation. The wine there is mash, and of disgusting quality. Something stronger - tastes disgusting. And you can drink cocktails all day long and you will stay sober - everything is very diluted. Tip - take a couple of bottles of what you love with you, otherwise you will be very disappointed.
Well, actually, for what they came - rest near the pools and the beach. The pools are impeccable, clean, there were 3 heated pools - near the children's slides, and on the other side of the hotel there is an adult pool and a children's pool nearby. Near the slides the water is cool, 18-19 degrees. If you take 3-4 cocktails, then you can continue to ride.
We went to the beach, a bus from the hotel every 20-30 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes to drive. The beach is against the backdrop of the construction site. To swim, you have to walk along the bridge about 100 meters into the sea. The water is warm, but there was a strong wind, swimming is unpleasant. That's when we went on a boat trip, they really bought up in the bay, and saw enough corals and fish. Advice - before the trip, buy a mask, there is a rental in the port - 5 bucks for a mask, 5 bucks for flippers, for this amount you can buy new ones in the old city or a flipper.
Animation in the hotel. It seems to be there, but not enough. at 11 am aerobics by the pool, darts, children's disco in the evening, and competitions for adults. Fun, but boring.
There is a Russian animator in the children's room, the children liked it, they came painted, asked for more.
Trips to the city. We went for souvenirs to the old market and lastrada. get closer to the lastrada, leave the hotel, go straight, cross the road, see the signboard of the lastad and get on the minibus there. for the road they gave a dollar for two. on the lastrade (and there is a market halfway to it) there are fewer tourists, they bargain better. But you need to be mentally prepared for this, the wife came all on her nerves. if you are not going to buy something, it is better not to ask for the price, otherwise they will not be left behind. And see that you don't get married. In one shop they bought a tunic for my wife, I bargained for a long time, then, just before buying, I decided to look at the goods. One tunic was dirty, the second button was missing. I said that I would not buy, and they simply took me by the arms and rudely took me out of the store. Remember - they have about the same product, never buy right away, the next store will probably make a big discount. Towels, which are offered for 12-13 dollars, if you bargain very well, you can buy for 5-6. A travel bag on wheels with a manual was bought for 20 bucks, initially they asked for 30.
In general, the trip has more positive emotions than negative ones. Not everything is smooth, not everything is perfect, but I liked the rest.
