Бюджетненько, для не привередливого туриста Budget friendly for the picky traveler

Rested with a group of 8 people. The cost is $700 for 2 for 12 days, departure from Odessa. Former Sonesta Beach. The territory is large, it is poorly watered, the hotel is old, all the rooms were huge, the TV is small with a CRT, it worked for me in radio music or news mode, there are 2 heated pools up to 2m deep, strong alcohol is good, canned beer is poured into plastic cups ( on the sea, 2 pieces per hand, near the heated pools as much as you want), the food is normal, the dinner is varied (ice cream, seafood, but not every day), with fruits rather weak. There are also unheated pools, but they are cool (+23), the sea is +26. The hotel was loaded by 25%, there are Arabs, but they mostly relax near the pool. The beach is small, but there were always enough rusty sunbeds with mattresses, tired towels, the tide is still high and you can swim over the corals, after 9 in the morning the tide is out and by lunchtime it is significantly smaller. The entry into the sea is terrible, we swam nearby on the right, 30 meters in a neighboring hotel, there is excellent sandy, no one objected. The plastic pontoon is broken and ends waist-deep in water, without a ladder. There are a lot of different fish. The corals are all broken, swam 300m to the left of the neighboring pier (it is closed, but the guard does not allow you to go to their shore), there are several coral reefs at different depths, beautiful. There are a lot of mosquitoes, although they are poisoned in the evenings, it is normal with a liquid fumigator in the room, nothing helped at the bar in the evening. It was hot at night (+25-27), they turned on the air conditioner, we had it normal, some of them were noisy, some of them broke, the wind was strong (up to 10 m / s), but due to the bay it was not felt. The tap water was often rusty. In the evening there is a place to take a walk, before going to the beach, there is a pedestrian street to the right to restaurants, shops, etc. , we went one evening to Soho, the taxi drivers are all arrogant, immediately specify what you want (the trip there + waiting 2-3 hours + the trip back and pay upon arrival at the hotel we got 12 USD for 8 people, although it could have been expensive for 10. The hotel guide from AnexTour is bolder than taxi drivers, the main thing for him is to sell excursions 3-5 times more expensive, he said that it’s not safe for everyone, that you have to pay money here and now and if we want to buy something later, so "he is not a boy who will run after money", that we need a visa on a yacht, etc. , when we refused, he took away vouchers from everyone so that we could not go anywhere, we took a picture of our passports with visas on the phone (I advise everyone to do it) and normally moved around Sharm. By the way, Egypt presented the island of Tiran last year to Saudi Arabia and therefore the border guards check everyone on the yacht, they are not allowed to drink alcohol, but you give it to the instructors diving and they carry. The cheapest excursions to Naama, ATV - $ 7, a yacht to Tiran - $ 10, on the beach, respectively, 10 and 15, do not remember about Anex, I refused to write in their questionnaire that I was not going anywhere and they told me that they would not take me back to the plane ( their jokes are so primitive). The staff at the hotel is friendly, chocolate "Alenka" is happy as children
Wi Fi password (changed every other day), but free, at the reception you give the phone and they connect, we caught Wi Fi in the room, but not everywhere. Sometimes the beer ended on the beach, there were no cups in the dining room, the same problem with forks, but wait 5 minutes and that was it. As a result, if we consider only the hotel, neither to the right nor to the left, especially the beach, then it’s sad, if in general, we liked everything for the money, a little adaptation and a good rest !! !
