My husband and I rested at Queen Sharm hotels from September 17 to 27.2021. They met us at the airport with roses and gave each of us a bottle of water and a bottle of natural juice. Upon arrival, you need to fill out a card (I attached a photo, maybe someone will come in handy). Since many tourists could not figure out how to fill it out, the airport staff offered assistance in filling it out for $ 10, but I assure you there is nothing complicated there to pay $ 10. Attached how to fill out this card last name, first name, date of birth, country. You can also write a hotel. Even if something is wrong, they themselves will add it.
They brought us quickly to the hotel, it was already 2 days, they immediately put on bracelets and showed us the restaurant so that we could have lunch. Then the porter came, gave us the keys and took us to the room, walked for 15 minutes to the first line, a lot of steps, descents, ascents. When I entered room 2202, I was horrified - everything was dirty, the furniture was shabby, the refrigerator did not close on the balcony, dirt. The porter began to demand money, but we said that we would not live here. My husband stayed in the room, and I went to the reception. They listened and said wait for a good number. But after I gave them a bottle of Russian vodka, they immediately gave them the keys with a smile and we went with the porter to watch the second number.
My advice before dragging with suitcases go and look at the room. The room was in the 9th building No. 9209, next to the restaurant and reception, overlooking the non-sunny side. It was possible to sit quietly on the balcony during the day, unlike the rooms where the sun fries. The room was clean and comfortable, everything worked and the refrigerator and hair dryer, and safe, and air conditioning. But soap and gel are only in the dispenser, so they don’t bring anything, they asked the cleaner for soap, after they gave 1 S for cleaning, he gave 2 small pieces. In general, they want to clean every day if you gave them $ 1, but we took cleaning 3 times in all the time, that was enough for us.

On the territory of the hotel, line 1 has been abandoned for many years, but now while we were actively restoring it, they said it would be restored sometime in November 2021. Then everything will be there and restaurants and bars. And now, in the heat and uphill, people dragged themselves up the stairs to the restaurant on the 2nd line, where we lived. We went to them to the sea. Legs more already on the second day from constant steps and rises. The elevator is not working yet. There are enough sun loungers on the beach, but the descent to the sea down the stairs, and then along the ever-swinging pantone on the waves, you can’t swim near the shore and many older people didn’t walk on the pontoon but sat on the shore, where the depth is ankle-deep, and if the tide is out, so there is no water at all, only at a depth. If with small children, then you can only swim in the pools and on the slides in the water park on line 2. At the end of the pantone there is a small platform and depth, there are fish and corals, too, there is something to see with a mask. If you are a bad swimmer, take circles or foam pasta with you from home. The hotel does not have this.
The animators were 2 Russian girls who did gymnastics on the beach and yoga in the morning. In the evening there was darts and volleyball. Every evening hotel show (skirts, belly dance, miss and mister hotel). You can see. The one who went for $ 5 to beach parties and discos, no one liked it - noise, din, some Egyptians. There is also an animator Somi, that fellow himself makes a fire show himself, entertains, they gave him a captain's cap and was very pleased. When we were somewhere around 60% were Egyptians with families and children. In the pools, they mostly swam in the sea, they go a little. But they said that the Italians would not come from November.
As for the food, it wasn’t very good for a couple of days, but then when the Russians began to come, the food became better, scrambled eggs for breakfast, scrambled eggs, vegetables, sweets. Lunch and dinner chicken, fish, pasta, potatoes and cooked soups every day. There was also enough sweets, but there were few fruits at all. Beer and wine are all paid, only sprites, teas and strong alcohol (whiskey, gin, tequila) are free. After it, for some reason, in the morning everyone had bags under their eyes, even if they drank a little. But they took vodka and wine with them, and they drank it.
Regarding mosquitoes, we took fumitox and tablets with us, it helped a lot. Because they really bite. Whoever wears gold earrings and bathes in a mask, take off my advice, since on the 4th day I lost one earring, you can see it when I took off the mask and hooked it on the elastic band. We took a ticket to the yacht Ros Mohamet and the Egyptian Maldives for $ 60 for two on the beach, we didn’t like it, we brought it to the atolls where you need to sail from the yacht to the white island and back, too, the distance is not small, they fed poorly, who dived 1 time who had blood from the nose to whom the ears are heavily blocked. The instructors gave some explanation. We went for $ 2 to the old city there is something to see a fountain on a rock, the mosque was completed, well, all sorts of camels there. Souvenirchiki there is also cheaper than in the hotel or near the hotel. But you need to bargain hard, as the price is inflated by 2-3 times. They took mango, delicious for $ 1.5 per 1 kg. Many were taken home in boxes. We bought ourselves shampoos and balms, $ 1 and $ 1.5 ointments for veins and legs, they cost $ 2-3.

In general, for the money that we paid for 10 days, and this is $ 1100, you can still. But if it's more expensive, I advise you to look for another hotel. Since the descent to the sea, and then the ascent uphill in the heat is very exhausting. The sea opens at 8 am and at 6 pm they are no longer allowed to swim. You can only be at the top. On the beach, a very annoying Egyptian who, for $ 60, drives everyone to a massage (6 sessions). But when I refused already offered $8 per session. In principle, everyone who went was happy. And so the 2nd line is well-groomed and clean. If they restore 1, everything can and will be fine, but so far everything is running there.
When leaving Egypt, we were shaken 10 times before the plane, a very severe test of the Russians. The bags were gutted, a personal search, a lighter and a whole roll of wrapping film were taken away. Generally tin. In airplanes, they do not feed at all only water. Well, we experienced people scored eggs boiled at the hotel, buns, cheese, cucumbers with tomatoes. Well, it seems that everyone will hardly return here, after all, you need to look for where the sea is closer and without pantone. I will be glad if my review is useful to someone.
