Rested in the period from 04-16 March. Didn't like the hotel.
Cons of the hotel:
1. Sooo shallow sea, knee-deep, stones are not possible to swim, the entrance is rocky, we went to swim on the nearby beach of the Marriot hotel, across the beach from the hotel.
2. The beach is for 3 hotels, and the beach area is small, so you simply cannot find a sunbed at 10 am. The sunbeds are set right next to each other. For example, on neighboring beaches there were always places even at 10-11 am, and right by the sea.
3. Flies were not allowed to relax and sunbathe calmly.

4. Food and assortment for 3+, not very tasty, but it was possible to eat. There are 2 free restaurants (near the reception and further where the rooms are 1000-2000. The food in these restaurants is absolutely the same. That year we rested in Sharm in another 5 * hotel, so there were 5 free restaurants and the choice of food is different everywhere for any the taste and everything was very tasty. And here there was not even squid (only 1 time they gave).
5. Service in the restaurant is terrible. Can't wait for water or drink to be brought. They may not deliver at all. The waiters simply ignore the Russians, but fawn over foreigners, and they will open a bottle of water and pour it into a glass.
The tip given by us to the waiter in the first days did not affect the situation in any way.
6. The cutlery is poorly washed, the forks are sticky.
7. Few fruits, green bananas and oranges don't count.
8. Old condos, which do not regulate the temperature, while collecting things, were drenched in sweat.
9. Expensive Wi-Fi.
Pros:
1. Sufficiently spacious and comfortable rooms.
2. There is a free Casablanca restaurant near the beach, but by appointment, good, tasty food. We signed up there and dined there for a whole week. Here the service is at the level, not like in the canteen.
3. A good selection of cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
4. Good location of the hotel, you can walk along the promenade in 20 minutes. get to Naama Bay. Opposite the hotel there is a 24-hour supermarket with fixed prices. There are very tasty juices in glass bottles.
As it turns out, the cons of the hotel are much more than the pros. And most importantly - a bad shallow sea. Therefore, I no longer set foot in this hotel. I will definitely return to Sharma.
