Далеко не 3*! Твердая 2* Far from 3*! Solid 2*

In Sharm El Sheikh 3 times. Prior to this, rested in 5 *. I'm not writing a review for comparison, you yourself understand why. . . Spontaneously, my husband and I decided to take a break from the winter, we immediately counted on a budget hotel in the bay and not far from the old market. Initially, we chose the Falcon Hills hotel, the price was the same. At the Anex Tour office, we were offered this hotel and said that it would be better, after reading the reviews about the hotel, the hair stood on end, but the manager persuaded us to fly. Azur Air airlines back and forth, without delay, the plane is a large uncomfortable Boeing with rows in the middle (economy class). We arrived at the hotel at 10.30, we didn’t have time for breakfast, we waited for check-in until 13.00, without surcharges and tips. Gave a room in the last building on the 1st floor, overlooking the sea. The room was practically clean, everything worked. They expected the worst. The entire hotel is long overdue for a major overhaul and replacement of all furniture throughout. Everything is abandoned and shabby (((There are few staff, but they are trying, especially the waiter boys. The cooks for distributing dishes asked for Alenka chocolate, last time we took a block and handed it out at 5 *, we were reluctant to take it. We would have known that in this hotel such a crisis, they would bring a lot of chocolate. I even felt sorry for the hotel and the staff because the location of the hotel is very good and the beach is not bad for winter and for those who cannot swim, or for vacationers with children. The contingent of vacationers-grandmothers, grandfathers, families with children, young people is very small and all those who are younger go in shock and share negative emotions because the hotel is very boring, the animation program is until 10 pm, (if you can call it that) the bar is up to 10 The animator is local, trying to organize something, but due to the rules in the hotel, everything ends at 10. There is little activity on the beach, young people sometimes played basketball. They write the truth about the animator's dog : ))) She really spoiled in front of the vacationers, and he cleaned everything after her with a mop))). The beach is well cleaned, clean, sunbeds are old but strong, towels are normal. Entry into the sea is ideal for those who do not swim well, children and pensioners and those who do not snorkel. Sometimes cups and bags floated in the sea, we never saw a greasy film after the boats. A little annoying yachts and boats that sailed very close. The wind was several times and a couple of cloudy days, even hail was coming with the sun. There are no corals, you can go to the right, about 15 minutes to a wild beach, there are corals, but you must take special shoes. The bar on the beach is free for All inc. They pour beer from a bottle into tiny plastic cups, sprite, colla, mirinda, tea bags, coffee (disgusting). There are toilets and showers on the beach. And now about the main minus of the hotel-FOOD and DRINKS. We were shocked, especially with breakfast and lunch. A very meager, monotonous menu, there is practically none, especially problems with meat dishes, everything is portioned and with disgruntled faces on the distribution, the fish in batter is tasteless and smelly, there was a grill 2 times for dinner (delicious chicken). There were enough side dishes, vegetables too, there was cabbage, green tomatoes, green peppers, lettuce leaves, grated carrots, 2 types of salads with dressings (did not try). Once they gave stewed liver with vegetables. The cook tried to mold a candy out of the gomne and often he succeeded. . For lunch and dinner, 1 glass of red wine, gin, local whiskey was poured into 1 hand, but even here the hotel showed its poverty, all drinks were diluted to horror, only water. We tried local alcohol in other hotels, and even bought local and have something to compare. The biggest plus of the hotel is the old market 10 minutes walk. We walked every evening, at the entrance to the old market there is a good cafe with hookahs, we have been there a couple of times, a good hookah. We did not try hookah in the hotel. We went to a fish restaurant a couple of times, bought takeaway shrimp, signature soup, and rice with shrimp, tasty but spicy. The soups were the best. We did not try expensive dishes, the budget was running out. If it were not for the old market nearby, we would have gone crazy with boredom, there is nothing to do in the hotel after 10 young people. You can, for a change, take a taxi to Soho, to Il Mercato. My husband and I are active people, we love variety, so we went to different paid beaches and snorkeled, saw a stingray and a lot of beautiful fish, but this is already outside the hotel and for an additional fee for beaches and taxis. I can recommend this boarding house for winter holidays for people with a very limited budget, for pensioners, couples with children, passive youth. You can go to this boarding house if you have dollars with you for various entertainment and snacks. Hookahs, excursions, fruits, juices, ice cream, paid coral beaches, discos, diving, etc. By the way, we bought bottled water, as the hotel only gives a bottle of 1.5 upon arrival, also packaged juices, mangoes, strawberries, cola, sprite, chips. The cheapest place to buy groceries and other things is at the METRO supermarket, where prices are fixed in pounds, no one is cheating. There is a shop behind the old market, who are interested in looking at the map. Walk from the hotel for about 25 minutes, you can take a taxi. VI-Fi in the hotel is paid for 7 days, $ 5 barely catches near the lobby, (according to the reviews of an adequate tourist whom we met) on the 7th day it is turned off, do not buy, it is better to buy a local card in the old city.
