Traveled with my 12 year old daughter
General impressions for 4+
The hotel is located near the airport at the very beginning of the Nabq tourist area, respectively, it’s not far to go, but they will drop off last because in Egypt there is a roundabout and the road from the airport does not allow crossing the median strip, because everyone is taken to hotels and only at the very end of us (as well as take back), which allows you to see the whole Charm almost.
Airplanes come in for landing and take off right above the hotel quite low. The hotel is located on the landing / takeoff line, but oddly enough, it doesn’t interfere with sleep, it’s even cool to see huge super basses from above.
An attempt was made to speak Ukrainian - don't understand!
We arrived earlier than the check-in, but after 20 minutes we were already taken to the room, without any surcharges.

Vacationers from different countries. Most of all there were Englishmen, Estonians, Latvians, local Arabs. There were few Russian speakers, from Ukraine there were only 4 couples with children.
The staff understands and speaks Russian to a sufficient extent.
We went on a Tez tour, but we took excursions from TUI travel (cheaper).
Visa - Sinai only (free) at the airport there were no problems with it.
Territory for 4
Because the hotel was built in 2012, it’s still not quite green like in Sea Life and Garden (they are older, you can take pictures there)
The territory of the hotel is landscaped and equipped, but everywhere around is bare desert. Nevertheless, there are flies and mosquitoes!!!!! ! There are a lot of them, just a lot of it is worth taking a fumigator.
Great kids slides and kids club.
Service for 4+
They wash and scrub constantly, it is not clear when they sleep.
Rooms for 5
Large room with a huge double bed (Family) + small bed), 2nd floor, cottage B10, view of the "circle" at the fork, the island of Tiran, the desert and mountains. (External room)
The rooms are all a little different in size (they showed different ones), the furniture is standard, the TVs are normal LSD 32 '' with a port for a USB flash drive.
Cleaned every day, towels and linen are changed without any problems if you ask, though there is dust, all the same, men clean...
For 1 buck they will wind anything, especially a girl.
No carpet on the floor, no noisemakers, etc. , only liquid soap (but we were prepared)
Meals for 4
The food is good and quite varied, considering that everything is cooked without pork. But if every time you take one or two dishes in a restaurant, you won’t get bored. All dishes are signed in different languages, all cocktails are signed and always told, the plates are heated, the canteen does not stink (the hoods are just awesome), the food changes constantly (daily). Fried fish is bad. Level service. Local dishes, delicious pastries, there are also traditional fast food such as hamburgers and french fries (especially on the beach, the British cram). All juices are yupi, only there are Mango and Guavo packs, but they are not for everyone. Good coffee.

Cocktails are made by different bartenders in different ways, I made the same one, everything is quite tolerable. Although the stocked whiskey is also nothing.
Two additional a la carte restaurants by appointment, at 18.20 write down per day, Indian - nonsense, Italian - better with a choice of dishes (menu) (fish, meat and chicken). Worth a try just out of curiosity. Local alcohol, like everywhere else, is mediocre, but for free and vinegar is sweet : )
Beach for 4+
To go to the sea several times, the first one is 1.8 km from the place of "basing", a small Suzuki bus, during peak hours - a lot of people from the beach to eat or go home in the evening. We traveled from 8:00 am until noon. The beach is shallow, you can wander even without special training but carefully, the beaches of both hotels are FREE as are their bars. You can swim in the shallows, even the fish are beautiful, it’s a bit far from the pier, like the pier at 100 m, but there is a sea, deep almost immediately, but what views...
You can walk in twenty minutes, you can see policemen with machine guns in ambushes, they often check the straps of the hotel.
In November, it’s still winter, it’s constantly windy and the red flag hangs (the flag indicates a storm or calm), red is dangerous for swimming, a storm.
It is inconvenient to carry your yellow towels with you to the beach
Entertainment for 4
The water park is good, one of the newest in Sharm (there are 3 water parks in Sharm)
Tirana is nearby (it is worse) Now in November the water is cold, but the manager said they would turn it on. the winds are cold, although according to the plan from December 1st. Since it is not the season, there was no particular problem with the queue on the slides, in the season the crowd stands behind the descent circles. Sea life pools (they are heated on the beach). I recommend riding mats on small slides, because you can get hurt there.
The service at the pool bars is decent.

Animation is excellent but mostly for children 4-12 years old. There is a children's room by the pools (the animator is only in English or Arabic), the rest of the animators are our girls. For adults, only a couple of times a day, water aerobics and gymnastics. All.
Every evening at 18-30 at the restaurant they try to make a mini show, then at 20-30 for an hour in the children's amphitheater dancing with animators, the children are very happy (baby).
Later adult shows with snakes, fakirs, Egyptian dancers. .
An hour later, departure to the club for a disco who wanted to
The hotel also has a disco from 23-2.00, but it is in the basement by the small pool (in the toilet) and few people know about it and there is nothing to do there, especially considering that alcohol is paid at the disco.
I don't recommend it to young people.
Had a great rest.
I recommend the hotel as a holiday with children, even small ones.
Many thanks to the sending company "Desofi" Dnepropetrovsk for their help in choosing a hotel.
