Море, риф - хорошо, к остальному есть вопросы Sea, reef - good, there are questions about the rest

The hotel has rooms that have not been renovated since the 90s, as well as buildings with rooms with renovation. The main contingent: Ukrainians, Poles, Italians and of course Arabs. By the way, the Arabs have chosen this hotel, thanks to the placement on its territory, as it turned out, of the Farsha hookah bar, famous in Sharm. Farsha is a place where you will be offered for 10u. e. smoke shish and other intoxicating potions. The establishment looks like a dump / flea market - at first I thought it was an old abandoned part of the hotel. With the onset of 5-6 pm, the institution begins to fill with people of Arab nationality with their companions, it should be noted that European tourists also visit this institution. Having seen where and how snacks are prepared, dishes are washed and other preparations are made in Farsha, I can’t advise this place to visit, unsanitary conditions are off the charts. Yes, and the institution itself is decorated in the style: what they picked up / found in the trash, they dragged it as a decor
. Surprising rating Farsha on Google. It's not like sitting there, it's dangerous to pass nearby.
HOTEL

ROOMS - you can live without frills. The shower is only standing, since the sprinkler itself is screwed to an iron pipe and does not provide an opportunity for removal. Dushkabin podubity and with mold in the lower part.
Cleaning - if you do not remind + do not give a dollar, you will always have your old towels and bedding. But as soon as you leave a dollar or two, new towels / bedding + all sorts of little animals from towels on the bed will immediately appear daily.
FOOD - meager, of the same type. But everything seems to be fresh. Coffee is normal, sprite, cola, fanta - all the rules, only they are poured not from bottles, but from a pouring machine into which drinks are poured from bottles. At the bars near the pools, you can ask the bartender and he will pour you a drink or water in your bottle. Upon check-in, the refrigerator is empty, water is only at the bars and in the canteen.
By the way, the dining room itself is very decent, two-story, there are always empty seats.
STAFF - normal Egyptian guys who work for 100u. e. rates + everything else from tips. Give a dollar and the beach boy will bring your things to the beach + choose a good place + bring some water if you want. They speak Russian poorly, a little better in English, even my level of knowledge (I study for two months in courses), by the way, thanks to the English courses in Kyiv, compared to theirs, mine looked just great.
BEACH - not for pensioners, because it has a very steep and long descent. The advantage is the presence of a sandy entrance, but upon arrival it is better to immediately buy coral slippers, as the beach is replete with stones and hedgehogs living under them. Also, the coral reef in this bay is considered one of the best in Sharm.

Which, in turn, attracts tourists from other hotels, from 6 to 12 sightseeing ships come straight to the reef every day, which bring crowds of tourists for snorkeling and diving - which is a little annoying. The MINUS is the lack of its own pontoon, more precisely, it is, but it is far and officially closed - the entrance is clogged with boards. But our tourists managed to tear off a couple of boards and still dive from this structure. Also, for the first time I saw a hotel in Sharm with no lifeguards on the beach: if you want to come at 6 in the morning and swim, but if you want to dive until the night, no one kicks you out or whistles. This can be attributed to both pluses and minuses. By the way, there are 3 hotels in this bay: Jaz Farana, Reef Oasis and Faraana reef, so only Reef Oasis has its own good pontoon, which appears on the advertising photos of all 3 hotels. But an Egyptian uncle stands on the pontoon and clearly monitors it so that guests from neighboring hotels do not enter it.
From the Faraana reef beach you can get into the open sea by swimming over the reef (at the narrowest point, it is about 7 meters, there are buoys that divers use to navigate when entering the open sea).
A PLUS also seemed to be the moment with the cost of extending the room, since our flight was moved to a late evening, then for only 20u. i. e. I extended the room until 21:00, while remaining with a bracelet and chalk the opportunity to have lunch and dinner, for the same service at the Monte Carlo hotel they asked me 80u. e.

RESULT: the hotel is not a five, but for those who go to the beautiful sea (to see stingrays, moray eels, turtles and other living creatures of the Red Sea) and have +1 dollar a day for cleaning the room - you can go.
If you start to find fault, then you can mention construction debris on the way to the beach; beach umbrellas - they are just huge and designed for 6 sun loungers each - you won’t be able to retire, since the probability of having neighbors is very high; the lack of a shower and toilet directly on the beach - to wash off the salt water, you will have to climb the stairs to the beach restaurant, and this is tiring and not very convenient.
