Location.
Sharks Bay, next to the airport. 4 *, but has its own beach 80m, a beautiful turquoise lagoon opposite about. Tyrant.
Opposite the hotel (at the exit) is just a desert. In the neighbors of Sol Sharm 4 * on the left side (if you look at the entrance to the main building), and on the right there is a territory under construction (I have not seen workers, apparently, it has been suspended yet), and through this construction site there is a Baron 4 * hotel.
In terms of local entertainment - there is nothing special near the hotel, you need to go to Naama Bay or Soho, a taxi can be ordered at the hotel.
The location map of everything inside the hotel, taxi prices and everything included in the all-inclusive with a schedule is issued upon check-in.

Settlement.

We arrived in the afternoon, so we didn't have to wait for check-in. I had a standard, no sea view, etc. , settled in the main building in the gallery on 2 floors: the room is spacious, pleasant, clean, plumbing is in working order (there is a bathroom), the grout seams are white, everything is neat (see photo).
Shower accessories include a bar of soap, a shower cap, shampoo and shower gel in small tubes.
I heard from other guests that there were problems with mosquitoes, so it would not be superfluous to stock up on mosquito plates. I met 2 mosquitoes, they did not cause much problems. I didn't see any other insects.
Of the minuses of accommodation in the main building, I can only note that loud music played in the evening, if someone is there with a small child or you have restless sleep, then this can be a problem.
Well, my view was just on the road, across the road the desert.
The meeting with the guide was scheduled for the next morning. I had a Coral Travel operator. A very adequate guide, speaks and writes excellent Russian, all issues can be resolved through him. He is at the hotel every day in the morning at 10-30, when he meets with new arrivals, and in the evening from 19-45 to 20-15.
Although the reception and all the staff also speak Russian well (except for the cleaners, of course. . ).
The hotel is mostly tourists from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Italy, Poland. .

Hotel.
The territory is relatively small, but pleasant, well-groomed, green, beautiful white small buildings. Between the hotels Sol Syrene 4 * and Sol Sharm 4 * there is a path towards the beach, along which it is pleasant to walk in the evening before going to bed, beautifully illuminated by lanterns. On it, during the day, a bus runs towards the beach, who are too lazy to walk for a few minutes. The territories of these hotels are open to the public, guests each eat in their hotel, according to bracelets. Entertainment in the nearby Sol Syrene 4 * (animation site, shows, the schedule is in the main restaurant).

Opposite the main building from the inside of the pool, if you pass it and turn at the bar to the right along the buildings - go to the main pool (inside the bar, which you can enter and swim from the water side. There is also a snack, who did not have time to the main food or just hungry). In the same place, the card is exchanged for a towel.
Children's pool and a playground next to the pool at the main building, it will be visible.
The hotel has an ATM, but for some reason it only works when you select the service language "Arabic", it does not work on the English version. So, if necessary, use the help of local workers. Money issues, of course, in local currency.

Nutrition.
Pretty good, I must say!
On the street near the main restaurant, every lunch and dinner they make a grill, always different (sausages, kebabs, fish, meatballs, squid, chicken, something on the ribs was also beef steaks).
Make pasta with any filler you specify. In the vegetable zone, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, etc. are cut separately. , there are different gravies, butter and sauces for dressing.
Meat is also varied - they make chicken, beef in the filling (in whole pieces like escalopes), the chef cuts duck and fish in portions. . They make mashed potatoes, beans, stewed vegetables, french fries, rice. .
Of course, a lot of all pastries are delicious. From fruits, melons, oranges, grapefruits, dates, bananas are served.
There is also alcohol nearby, who needs it - they come up and ask for cocktails and so on. Plus, the waiters walk past the tables, you can ask to bring beer, wine. .
For breakfast, they make an omelet, pancakes with chocolate sauce, cut soft cheese, sausage, boiled eggs, jam and toast (everyone makes them for himself, as much as necessary, all pastries, again. They put a coffee machine (cappuccino, latte, etc. ).
For children, it is important that there are yogurts in portioned bowls, all sorts of flakes and balls, milk (I didn’t really like it, I ate these flakes with yogurts).
There is a separate feeding area for children (low tables and chairs), there are side chairs to the large table if the baby eats next to his parents.

Water is freely available in the main restaurant, in the bar near the reception, in all buildings (coolers). You can fill your own bottles and take it with you. When you check into your room, you will have one bottle of water in the refrigerator, it is better not to throw it away and use it when walking, on the beach, if you are too lazy to go to the bar, etc.

Beach.
The territory is relatively small, 80 meters. I was at the beginning of summer, it can be said that it is not the season anymore, so there were not so many people, there was enough space. But the beach for 2 hotels (Sol Syrene 4* and Sol Sharm 4*) will fill up quickly during peak season, so get up early.
Pleasant light sand on the beach, the entrance is sandy, not a long plastic pantone. In fact, special beach shoes are not needed, especially if you enter the sea according to the pantone. Many write that the reef on the beach is dead. This is not entirely true. Of course, there are not many fish, but there are also ball fish, Picasso fish, butterflies, zebras. . By the way, inside the pantone (it’s located, as it were, with the letter H) in the reef, there are 2 zebra lionfish, swim there more carefully after lunch (this fish is poisonous with spikes. During the day it hides from direct sunlight, does not swim, and after lunch it can swim out. It does not attack itself , very inactive, but you can, after all, by accidentally swimming, hurt ... ).
There is a bar on the beach, everything is free there (this is the bar of the 2 mentioned Sol hotels), there are snacks, a coffee machine, a water cooler, and so on. .
Also on the beach there is a service to learn how to windsurf. They ride a camel. I saw the photographer, offered photo shoots. Local spa and helth centers offer massages, masks, baths. .
in general, orient yourself on the spot. They also offer tours on the beach. And you can rent a boat to about. Tyrant, the reef will be more picturesque there.
Some went in the direction of the Baron Hotel, they say there is a gorgeous reef, you can walk along the beach, along the sea, but it seemed to me far away, I was too lazy to walk somewhere in the heat.

Rate.
During my stay, the rate was from 6.95 to 7.5 pounds for 1 dollar
