I am writing a review about the Charmillion Sea Life Resort because I have just arrived with my wife from Sharm. I note right away that this is our sixth visit to Egypt and there is something to compare with! Room 0711. To begin with, all the rooms in this hotel are the same (the standard is a double room, but a cot is delivered on request for a child). The rooms are big enough and comfortable. Everything worked in our room, LCD TV set, many Ukrainian and Russian channels. For the fact that the room was in a building near the sea at the reception gave 10 dollars. Separately, I want to say a big thank you to the room cleaner Mustafa, a great guy, he kept asking if there were any problems, noticed that we had one toothbrush (I forgot my own at home) and brought a brush and paste and washcloths. Every day he reported shampoos and gels, stickers with coffee, sugar, powdered milk and tea, twisted figurines from towels, gave his wife a living rose. Also, at my request, he brought slippers and bathrobes to our room (this is in a 4 * hotel! ). For such an attitude without problems, you can give more than $ 1.
In general, Mustafa made an excellent impression of the hotel as a whole. Thank you!
Now about the territory: one common territory for three hotels, Sia life, a water park and five. The most beautiful, of course, Sia Life, landscape, fountains, gazebos, super plants! Everything is constantly cut, washed and cleaned. Outside the hotel is desert. To go somewhere, taxi or minibus. There are few shops on the territory (bags, textiles, groceries, oils, etc. ), but they are all in the top five, the prices are quite normal.
Beach: the beach is shared with five and it is HUGE! There is enough space for everyone, it pleases, the coastline is not even, there are both hollows and plains, that is, there is where to hide from the wind.
Sea: it’s better to enter in coral boats, there is almost no sandy entry, the sea is very shallow ...You can hardly find it up to your waist, and when the tide is out, you can’t soak your swimming trunks, but the fish swim and are quite diverse.
The pontoon is good, stationary and not long, but it is located at the end of the five beach and it is enough to stomp to it, but this is compensated by the reef: the reef is cool! Moreover, you can use the five sunbeds and their bars, so you can find a place near the pontoon. Yes, the pontoon is almost always closed until noon because of the wind, and sometimes for the whole day (keep this in mind, because this is Nabq).
I won’t write about local alcohol, it’s like everywhere in Egypt, we always take our own with us, but the beer is cool and they pour as much as you drink!
Now about the food: this is not the best thing in this hotel. Breakfasts are normal, but lunches are not very good, the choice is not large and not very tasty, as for me . . Dinners are also so-so, there seems to be a choice, but not very tasty ...We did not go to a la carte restaurants, because we had less than 7 days (6 days), and a la carte is free only for those who have a tour of 7 days or more. By the way, there are 4 such restaurants. Yes, for those who are worried about the situation with the corona virus.
In this hotel, no one (including the staff) wears masks, everyone imposes food in restaurants on their own, as before the pandemic. It didn’t bother us at all, on the contrary, it’s cool, but for those who care about it, I’m writing about it. There is no snack in the bars on the beach, fresh buns ...
We didn’t have animation at the hotel, it’s all in the top five, near the heated pool (where, well, there are very intrusive sellers of massage services and yacht trips), in the evening in the amphitheater, entertainment is also in the top five, although its amphitheater is much more beautiful idle. On the contrary, such silence and calm suited. We didn’t go to the water park, it is paid for those living in the hotel this life - $ 10 per person per day.
As for the contingent of vacationers, these are mainly the countries of the former USSR and a few local ones.
And finally, I will say that the overall impression for a 4-star hotel is very good. If there is an opportunity to come again at a low price (I bought in 6 days for 1.900 UAH.
) then we will definitely come!
