Time of stay: beginning of October 2008 The hotel is brand new. Located on the outskirts of Sharm, 15 min. drive from the airport. Some of the hotel rooms are finishing finishing works. The hotel is 4 stars instead of the indicated 5. On the territory there is an excellent pool with 2 slides and 3 islands, which are interconnected by beautiful wooden bridges (see photo). The bar near the pool is a relative concept. In addition to water, beer and cola, you will not be offered anything else here.
The ratio of vacationers by country is approximately the following: Poles - up to 35%; Russians - up to 25%; Ukrainians - up to 10%; Italians - up to 10%, others - 20%.
"Beach" near the hotel is perfect for kids - nothing more. Adults for normal swimming should go to the "wild beach". The sea is real! True, you need to go for about 15 minutes. We have never seen such a number of fish during our entire holiday (the fish need to be fed). A good mask and snorkel can be bought in the market before entering the hotel for $18. I also recommend buying a waterproof case for underwater photography.

The rooms are basic, the beds are comfortable, the room has a free safe with a digital code. Su combined, shower instead of the usual bath. The air conditioner works great. There is nothing to watch on the LCD TV - from the Russian-language channels RTR and the German P1. The bar-refrigerator is comparable in capacity to a car glove compartment. The room is well cleaned, sheets and towels are changed every day.
The table is the most common. The food is original, but you can live. With the first dishes they did not work out. A big problem with absolutely any drinks (except beer and cola): instead of juices - "yupi", and wines and spirits - sheer chatter. I recommend stocking up in duty-free at the airport of departure. I really liked the sweets - a real paradise for the sweet tooth. The waiters are rare freaks, but fortunately, by the end of our stay, the owners of the hotel have recruited normal staff.
Evening cultural program is not particularly diverse. It is ideal for adults with young children: while the kids are entertained, their parents thump on the sun loungers near the pool. Table tennis and billiards were brought to our departure. They promise to diversify leisure activities in the near future.
Fans of discos recommend to go to Naama Bay. Trips are organized for them. True, you can go on your own by minibus or taxi (taxi costs from 5 to 10 dollars). The shuttle is even cheaper.
Fans of excursions will have plenty to choose from: sea and land excursions, extreme sports, children's excursions, etc. (see photo).



GOOD REST AND PLEASANT IMPRESSIONS TO ALL!
