Хороший отель, сервис и персонал Good hotel, service and staff

The two of them rested.
We thought about Hurghada or Sharm for a long time, but we chose Sharm because it is a little warmer and more civil, you don't have to pay $25 for a visa.
They flew in specifically for my birthday, and since the trip was planned at the last moment, they chose from what was available. and did not fail. In fact, everything was better than expected.
So, in order. . .
I must say right away - so that you understand - Park Inn is almost the same as Radisson, only on the second line. The food is almost the same, the beach, the bar, and so on. And it is located in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the NABC bay! It is not protected by winds, and therefore it can be cooler here than in Naama Bay and the sea can be stormy.
Flight Kyiv-Sharm. Airline Bravo.
Planes - a minibus, there is little space and everything is shabby, but for a 4-hour summer it is quite normal. There is a meal - a sandwich + tea / coffee / cola (optionally diluted with whiskey from dyutik)

Transfer like everything else in Egypt with a delay but not critical.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock, we were immediately put on bracelets and settled in an hour later. For free. And in honor of the birthday, not in a standard room - but in a junior suite!
The room is really nice, 3rd floor with sea view. Unless, of course, you are a nobleman who has fled from the communists, wandering in Paris, and do not look for cracks, abrasions with a magnifying glass and pay attention to worn cabinets.
The hotel area is very large. flowers, cacti, attempts to reconstruct the architecture of ancient Egypt. Lots of palm trees, everything is green and pretty. There are many pools on the territory, of which 2 are heated. One is near the children's slides, the other is next to the pool near the entrance. Water norms, nearby bars.
Naturally, in winter, water is not heated in all pools, large attractions, etc.
The hotel is occupied by 20-30 percent, but there are people in it, unlike the hotels around. And mostly Arabs. There are a lot of them, they are specific but cultural and harmless. Because of this, you will not see any animation "for ours", nor will you hear music in the bars.
. Kitchen. There is a lot of food, and quite good. Twice a day, barbecue chicken, kebab, beef, liver. There are a lot of dishes, salads, delicious sweets. I think that even a very picky person will not go hungry, and this is all in great abundance, although the food is like in Egypt - sophistication here will not. Sausages and sausage - Soya - 101%, fish sometimes - good fried mackerel)
There are enough tables, if there is an influx of tourists, a second restaurant is opened. Dishes are not broken.
There are several A la Carte restaurants, but they are understandably paid. You can go to restaurants in Reddison.
Staff. Friendly, good. The management and reception are excellent. Bars have good bartenders. No one diluted alcohol, there is normal white / red wine, beer. Strong alcohol is better to drink in cocktails. There is a hookah for 1 dollar.

Beach. You need to go to the beach through Reddison Blue, crossing the road. There is a delivery - it turns out pretty quickly.
The beach is shared with the Radisson, as well as CoralBar. They eat and drink at the bar. Food - french fries, chicken chops, pizza, pasta, salads and more. In principle, there are enough sun loungers and wicker barriers from the wind.
On the beach you can swim without slippers - the depth is waist-deep, the coral is not sharp - then the reef. Gotta go to the pontoon
The reef is really beautiful. A bewitching spectacle. In this place there is a migration of fish, and there are a lot of them.
Seeing Napoleon fish, parrot fish, Picasso is not a problem. The rest are in great abundance.
Weather. The most important thing. You must understand that the hotel and the beach are located in NABQ! And this is a place where the winds constantly blow in winter.
Therefore, in the morning and in the evening it can be cold, you need to wear warm clothes. Beach weather in January from 11 am to 4 pm.
Moreover, it really storms on the reef until 13.00 every day, so it is closed. Sometimes it can be closed for the whole day, so it’s better to watch the weather forecast and go on excursions these days. In principle, this is a place for those who love snorkeling (swimming) It's just not always pleasant to swim - very, very salty water and stormy. Be careful with the current - sometimes it is very strong and you should not swim far from the bridge. Be sure to take a mask, a snorkel with a valve, fins, a waterproof phone case, and possibly a budget wetsuit with you, everything will cost more there. Although the water temperature is +24 - you won’t get wet for more than half an hour, but in a budget wetsuit you can swim for a long time.
Tours. You will be offered 10 times a day all kinds of excursions. You can buy them from a tour operator, you can on the beach, you can at the "hucksters". Or you can take a sign at the towel exchange point - "Dont Distrub" and no one will touch you.
If for the first time, then I advised from excursions:

Diving. You can try it on the shore with an Egyptian instructor "Misha" - $ 15 for 15 minutes from the reef
It is possible on a yacht, 3 stops - snorkeling. You can take it from third-party sellers - price $ 15 + $ 5 1 - dive for 10 minutes. But it’s important to definitely demand that there be a sunken ship and 3 stops, otherwise you can be brought to a nearby abandoned beach and offered to swim. Diving can also be reduced - 3 dives of 15 in one or two and in 10 minutes....)) This is Egypt.
The rest is optional.
Quad bikes - $10/person. Mountains, fake Bedouins. Better in bad weather
You can go to Dahab for $ 25 with quads, jeeps, camels and diving in the Blue Hole. or to Israel for 70t - but sometimes they stand at the border for 6 hours. Naama_Bay, Old Town, Soho and more - you can visit, you can not.
It is really possible to get there for 5 Egyptian pounds / person by minibus.
Purchases. Buy not buy - your desire. They have a crisis and they will grab you by the hands and soar everything.
You can buy mangoes, oils / creams, ointment for joint pain, a hookah and very small souvenirs.
By the way, they do not have the concept of copyright, so you can immediately meet with 5 tour agencies ala Gena and Cheburashek, Andrian Celentan, George Clooney supermarkets and sellers with the same names) Who liked it - buy from those)
Choosing a hotel, I naturally read the reviews. And they are all different. From complete delight to horror. I don't know, maybe someone will be lucky. But often reviews can be misleading.
But from myself I will say, for this price, the Reddisons are very good offers at the moment in Nabq. Better (but undoubtedly more expensive) will be only Rixos. The rest of the hotels are empty until there are no Russians
And do not be afraid of winter - in Egypt it is not very hot, but quite comfortable for cool swimming, diving and summer sunbathing)
