Rested with a friend Sveta. I chose this hotel because of its location on the Garden Reef. I haven't been here before.
We arrived at the hotel at 7:30. Settled at no extra charge at 8.30, room 2211. Wristbands received at 10.00, left without breakfast - the policy of the hotel. The room is excellent, with a beautiful view of the hotel and the sea. There were problems with the air conditioner, repaired 3 times, but he lived his own life. We have reconciled. The neighbors also had minor problems, who had a refrigerator, who had an air conditioner.
The staff is attentive and friendly. No problem.

Meals - buffet. Hot - in portions, but as much as you want. Modestly, but tasty. We always found something interesting. I don't understand the phrase "you won't go hungry". But there were dissatisfied with the food, they were just not enough. Coffee is instant, but great with milk. In the non-alcoholic bar at the reception they make delicious latte with foam. They weren't interested in alcohol, but I understood that it's sad with cocktails.
There was practically no animation. In the evening, children's, and that's it.
The beach and the sea are the highlight of the hotel. This is the main thing for which it is worth flying here. There were very few people, the beach is large, beautiful, many palm trees. Plastic pontoon, short, in good condition. For children there is a small sandy entry.
In the morning you can swim at any time, in the evening they begin to actively expel from the pontoon.
It is best to swim before lunch, then it is cloudy and visibility is poor for shooting. To the right of the pontoon (facing the sea) I sailed past the Continental Garden pontoon (closed), 2 Hyatt pontoons. What followed was murky.
Very beautiful reef, lots of fish. I met Napoleon, moray eels, barracuda, aluter and many other fish. To the left of our pontoon, I sailed past the pontoons of Sharm Plaza, Oasis Blue Bay Reef and beyond. She did not swim to a huge pontoon, similar to a fragment of a railway bridge. It was hard to swim back against the current. Here she swam with flocks of fearless trevally, huge flocks of cesium, eagles swim in shallow water, at the bottom she saw a brown-spotted grouper, does not let her close. The reef wall is alive, then immediately a cliff, depth, bewitches.
Near the home pontoon, the reef is weak, but sometimes large fish come and swim very close by. I saw there tuna, yellow-lipped letrin, triggers, napoleon, trevally and many others. Letrin is very friendly, keeping very close. Sometimes it was empty, then sailed to Hyatt. The Garden Reef itself is very beautiful, and the view from the Continental is incomparable!
I recommend the hotel, a budget five in a chic bay with an excellent snork! Have a good holiday everyone!
