Hotel ratings by criteria:
I'll start from the very beginning! We flew there with Siberia Airlines on IL-86 (not impressed) . . back already Vim-avia and Boeing-757 (good). Upon arrival in Sharm El Sheikh, we were met at the airport by friendly employees of the Coral Travel travel agency (ALL spoke Russian, which made us very happy), we were escorted to the bus, to a new bus with air conditioning and a sane guide and driver. We were brought to the hotel first, literally in 10-12 minutes we were already there, settled us in literally 10 minutes, IMMEDIATELY in a good room (standard (there are no others) with a large bed, shower, toilet, hairdryer, climate control, safe, with a large closet, with a terrace, with a mini-bar, where there is only Pepsi, Mirinda and water) overlooking the garden near the relax pool, near the reception and near the main restaurant, everything is close and close on the ground floor (building 20A). All rooms, as it turned out, look either at the pool, or at the sea, or at the garden, no construction sites, dirt, etc. NO. The room is very clean, they cleaned every day, changed linen, towels every day, periodically made figures from my pareo and put red flowers in a glass, constantly placed all our jars in the bathroom).
And so . . our vacation began, we went with my husband together (age 22-27), we are not drinkers and calm people, we were not interested in discos at all, alcohol too (I can say that alcohol in the hotel is expensive and really good, whiskey for example Black label, all sorts of gins, vodka, etc. , everything is solid and in any quantity). There are about seven bars where you can take water, soda, juices, alcohol and various cocktails (milk, non-alcoholic, alcoholic), there is also one bar that is open 24 hours. As for food - GUD, very diverse, the only thing that they don’t know how to cook is meat! , fish, tiger prawns, seafood, pasta, raviollo, everything is magical... Egyptian-style salads, as far as I love them, I rarely went there, t. to. sharp or everything is mixed that does not hit. A huge number of cakes, cakes, baskets, creme brulee, everything is super fresh and tasty (about 25-30 types for lunch, dinner), for breakfast a huge amount of porridge, muesli, pastries, jams, all kinds of pancakes, pancakes, 5-7 each types of scrambled eggs, sausages in different forms, all sorts of cheeses, sausages, many fruits, freshly squeezed strawberry juice, banana-apple-orange, too, was rarely orange and everything was fresh! IN GENERAL FOOD is really GOOD, except for meat (fried to coals). It is also possible to visit 3 restaurants by appointment absolutely free of charge, although alcohol is already for money *).
We went on 5 excursions: - Ros Mukhamed (on a yacht through the picturesque places of the underwater world with masks), from 8 to 16 the excursion took time, it was cool, 3 stops for about 30-40 minutes, but on the last one we were given an hour , bought SO much that by the end of the trip my head was spinning from tension! So do not get carried away not accustomed to masks!! ! REALLY BEAUTIFUL FISHES were))). I don’t remember the exact price, BUT about $ 90 to $ 120 for two. In no case do not buy a DVD disc from the guys of the operators, we bought it . . it's just horror and not a recording, no sound, no video, everything hisses, wheezes and costs $ 25, although we returned the disc without problems after 2 days.

- Water park (please do not confuse with CLEOpark (cleo nonsense), there are about 35 slides in the water park, we had fun, from 10 to 16 o’clock you can wallow there, but we could not stand the heat and so many jumps and left at 14 at our own expense by taxi , also there was lunch included in the price of the tour. Be sure to hire a photographer, the pictures are just gorgeous, such emotions that you just can’t take this yourself (it costs 60 photos $ 25, or rather, we agreed so, but initially we were announced 50 photos $ 30) you have them they will put it on a disk and you can do it in Moscow. The cost is about $100 for two.
- Moto-safari (this is a trip mainly by a group on quad bikes in the desert + 30 minutes of camel riding also in the desert + dinner, but it’s better not to have dinner in such a haunted place *), we were lucky in the group we were alone and we had a young guide, he drove us so cool through all sorts of canyons and at such a wild speed that emotions are still overwhelming). If you get into a group, THEN you will rather go super slowly and strictly in a column. We were on 2 quads, paid $120 for two.
- Bathyscaphe (this is a boat with transparent sides). I didn’t like it at all, it takes 1.5 hours, we swim near the shore, there are fish, that is, no, not really. The cost is $90 for two.
- Cairo by plane. The cost is $500 for two + $200 for a personal guide in a Tayota Corolla. Cairo didn’t make a grandiose impression, BUT it’s just worth a trip to look at the pyramids for show, and you can just look at the life of this country, there are women driving wheelbarrows and there are dressed in a European way in an interesting way. As far as buying butter in Cairo, don't buy it. when you fly by plane there is only hand luggage, but it is forbidden to carry oil in hand luggage, you have to give a bribe or they just throw it away! Be carefull.
As for the guides, guys, no matter how you make friends with him, no matter how you thank him, he will still lead you around his shops and shops, because. he will then be paid a kickback. We so asked 2 guides to show us more interesting and not the most expensive places, so we still dragged along our own.
We booked a taxi at the hotel and it costs $20 round-trip to Naama Bay and the old town. There is a free bus, you need to sign up and you will be taken.

At the expense of animation and entertainment, sports, I am silent, because. we didn’t do it, we only saw aerobics, the girls were sweating there. There were 2 pools, one huge (there was always super busy, music, water polo, squeals, screams), and there was relaxation, where we always lay, the silence is high... in the pool you usually don’t meet more than 5-7 people! As for the sunbeds, there were always plenty of them, it was never a problem to find a place by the pool, and on the beach there you can generally play hide and seek in so many umbrellas and sunbeds. Panton is about 100 meters, even less, there are always no more than 10 people there... immediately depth. You can go into the sea and from the shore, BUT STRICTLY in slippers, because. corals and even sea urchins.
I was upset that it was not possible to rent an iron, I had to take things for ironing or washing, they paid $ 36 for the entire stay, given that we washed and ironed a lot! Acceptable. In the morning you hand over, in the evening everything is already brought to you.
Oh. . . the big review is out! We paid 82.000 rubles for a ticket from July 9 to July 20.2008. And they were completely satisfied! High-level service, guys, waiters, bartenders, managers are always clean, smart . . kind and basically everyone speaks Russian, we don’t know languages ​ ​ at all, except for Russian, we didn’t feel flawed a single gram! So the rest was a success, I RECOMMEND. There will be questions write
