At first I wanted to choose another hotel, but the representative of the tour operator recommended this one, because, according to him, here is one of the best reefs and a sandy beach.
We got to the hotel around 20-00, we were immediately offered to have dinner, and only then to register. A trifle, but nice.
I'm not picky about food, but nevertheless, the range of dishes was pretty decent. A five-year-old child liked everything that we brought him - pilaf, meat, vegetables and, of course, fruits and sweets.
Wi-Fi in the hotel is paid. Luckily, Join Up's hotel guide, Mamdouh, gave away free internet from his phone in the evenings. If you need access around the clock, you can buy a 4GB SIM card for $11 (the price is the same in the city)
With the settlement there was some kind of hitch, they got into the room around 22-00. The escort begged for $5 - like he gave me one of the best numbers as a good friend. That was my fault.
The room is not so hot: the plumbing is leaking, the rollers are broken off on the curtains of the shower cabin, the air conditioner is not regulated - only on-off. In the room: refrigerator, TV, safe. The lights are pretty dim. But in general, tolerable. In short, if you check in, promise a reward for "tomorrow morning" and if everything suits you, you can encourage the person, if there are complaints - demand a replacement number or NO DOLLARS : )
Just a little life hack about the air conditioner.
I do not recommend sitting under it, especially if you have children with you. The electrician in the room turns on after installing the key fob card on the room key, you can unfasten the card and leave it in the switch pocket and turn on the air conditioner in your absence.
Another unpleasant moment: the hotel is located next to a residential area, in the center of which is a mosque. Theoretically, the call to pre-dawn prayer should take place shortly before dawn (the sky begins to turn gray at about five o'clock).
But the local muezzin has his own special opinion - he arranged the rise at 4-00.
Do not forget the keys in the room - a slammed door can only be opened from the inside, or with a key from the outside.
The hotel area is impressive: 2 large pools, one small and one very small for VIPs. There is also a children's area, but like the rest of the children's area, it did not work. Lots of greenery. The bushes are trimmed regularly. Unfortunately, part of the territory looks neglected or unfinished.
The beach is good, but quite littered. Smokers are completely free there and, as a result, the sand is full of cigarette butts. I understand that it’s clean where they don’t litter, but they don’t litter where they clean it.
The sea is just fantastic. After the first swim, I realized that all the minuses (well, almost all) can be ignored. I will not describe for a long time, it must be seen. Putting on a mask and sailing away to the corals, I disappeared for the world for one and a half to two hours.
Be sure to purchase a full-face survey mask, in Sharm you can find one for $15-17 if you walk around, bargain or, if you don’t like bargaining, for $20-25 right on the beach.
On prom. ua, by the way, - 400 UAH ($15). You can rent fins for $2/day, if you can bargain for a dollar too : ) We didn't use corals.
There is a shopping area on the territory where you can buy souvenirs at a reasonable price. In the shop with spices, prices are too high - it is better to go to the city for them. Opposite the reception there is a shop with oils. 300ml bottle from $15 depending on composition. At the so-called "state factory" with a 50% discount, oils turned out to be $10 more expensive. In the evening, one of the hotel employees sells fruits and sweets. The prices are reasonable, although a little higher than in the city, but you can bargain - it is inferior with ease, especially to the fair sex.
Near the beach there is a grill restaurant.
It is necessary to sign up for it "for tomorrow" the record is kept at the entrance to the "main restaurant". The place is beautiful, great view of the sea.
About the meal plan:
breakfast from 7:00 to 9:00, lunch from 13:00 to 15:00, dinner from 19:00 to 21:00. I recommend coming an hour after opening - there are fewer people, but the assortment is the same. In addition, cunning Arabs laid out mangoes for dinner, for example, after 20:00, when the influx of hungry subsided.
We left the hotel at night. Within 5 minutes we got a call and were reminded of the bus. They collected lunch boxes for us - water, yoghurts, jam, honey, a bun, processed cheese, bananas.
In general, the impressions were pleasant, minor flaws did not spoil the rest at all.
p. s.
If you are tempted to take a free sightseeing tour (Memorial-mosque-Coptic temple-oil factory-confectionery-papyrus factory) immediately after the temple, it is better to retire to the hotel - by taxi ($ 4) or by minibus (there, they say, generally ridiculous prices), because in vain the time spent, also the prices in 1.5-2.
5 times higher than in a hotel. Just don't forget to warn your guide.
