Чудесный профсоюзный пансионат Great union boarding house

Third time in Sharm El Sheikh.
We started with three stars. We were five stars twice.
The hotel looks like a Soviet Union boarding house. I'll explain why. The overwhelming number of former Soviet workers! Russia, Ukraine, Balts, Armenia, Belarus.
The age is far from young, aunts and uncles with paunches and Soviet-era robes. In the canteen (you can't say otherwise) for some reason they stand in line with plates in their hands, although the buffet. To complete the image, there are not enough trays. Until all the saucepans pass and look into each - not a foot from the queue!!!
Many may not believe me, but it's true!!
Indeed, mosquitoes are poisoned with smoke, but this does not help much, after dinner it is impossible to sit quietly, they will have a snack.
The animation is weak, young people may be bored, but whoever came to relax calmly and quietly, he got to the right place.
The numbers are a different story.

This hotel was built unusually. It seems that at first there was a reception building and rooms were built from it to the sea (with a view of the sea and the pool), and then a whole block was built towards the road and the desert.
Here is the most uninteresting place. We saved money and took the "standard", so we were settled in this colony, and even back to the adult pool, but in front of the children's pool, which was not yet working. As it became known later, it will be launched by October. Attention! ! Who has children - you go there.
The new pool has three slides, some attractions. Children will be delighted. There were few children with us, it is clear that it was school time.
The food is ordinary, you can eat meat and fish and vegetables. But tea and coffee are disgusting (as for me). Therefore, take your coffee and tea with you. There are coolers in the "canteen" and you can steam coffee "in Polish".
Another caveat - when buying a tour in this hotel is UAL. This is a lie!! ! The usual "all inclusive", but you have to pay for imported drinks!
The second nuance is that there are no free buses either to the Old Town or to Naama Bay. Taxi drivers insolent near the hotel. For comparison, I will say that we left the hotel for 7 dollars to the Old City, and returned back for four.
However, nothing has changed in the Old City.
Souvenirs do not change, nothing new. The only thing that attracted attention was handmade carpets. They are similar to Transcarpathian ones, made of sheep wool and woven plots.
Incredibly beautiful, different sizes and the most incredible colors. They are "flat", you can hang on the wall and put on the floor. True, the prices are insane.
Separately, I will say about the tour operator "Annex Tour".
The hotel always has a representative, always ready to help. Well done.
