The hotel is just great. After the last visit to Sharm, there was a very bad feeling and I absolutely did not want to go to Egypt again, but thanks to such hotels you can change your point of view. I will not dissemble, in the month of March only in Egypt there was an opportunity to consider it as a beach holiday. (well, we also take the price into account). The hotel was chosen based on the high rating. While I remember everything, I will share with you.

Let's start from the very beginning, having arrived in Egypt, a tourist is looking for the INTERNET, and at the airport the cheapest price! I chose Vodafone, it didn’t let me down before, everything was ok, even after reading the comments on the scam, I didn’t believe it and I myself became a victim of Egyptian schemes. The Internet has risen in price, I took 3 GB for 6 evergreens.

As a result, as usual, the SIM card is activated when you get on the bus, an SMS arrives in Arabic and there is no limit to the Internet joy, but already at the hotel you install the Ana Vodafone application and you realize that you have sold 1 Gb(((((Check the rest is needed at the airport, although even here I think they have a couple of trump cards, then sing. We check with him through the application or by clicking on the link in SMS (I had this ( http://vf. eg. mi), this link only works with an EG Vodafone card and immediately shows the balance of mb) I sinned on Vodafone, but soon our friends flew in, who knew about this scheme and took 10 Gb in ORange and 10 Gb was a gift, they asked to see it and they were provided with some data where it was written 10 Gb + 10 Gb and everything else in Arabic, and so they were surprised when they arrived at the hotel on the balance of the same 1 Gb .....
The moral of this story is, if you want Internet, buy 1 Gb at the airport and top up in the city or near the hotel, your Vodafone topped up for $ 3 2 km from the hotel in the official store, although 200 meters in the shopping center agreed for the same money and the seller phones.

Check in:

We arrived at the hotel at 12:30 we were met by staff with chilled wet towels, which were very handy, after the flight and the heat on the street, what you need, as well as cool juice. They immediately put on bracelets and sent for lunch (I’ll highlight the food in a separate paragraph) came at 13:50 at the reception, promised to check in at 14:00, settled exactly on time, minute by minute, and immediately gave everyone the keys to the rooms. The room was 14319, very good location - between the sea, the dining room and the pool, everything is nearby. The room is just right for a couple, not much is not enough, there is a hairdryer, a refrigerator, a kettle, tea, coffee in sticks, a TV. Bathroom: Shower, hair dryer, soap, shower gel dispenser.

SEA.
This is probably for someone can be a minus: very windy, and daily ebbs and flows. The sea is warm enough, in the absence of wind you can swim comfortably. The reef is not the busiest in Sharm, there are fish, but it is possible to watch or take pictures on camera only when the sea is calm, and this moment needs to be waited for. There is also a lagoon above the reef itself, you can get there when the sea is not calm, but the maximum depth is up to the neck. If you go from the shore to the reef, be sure to wear shoes for walking on corals or crocs, not only are the reefs sharp, moray eels live in shallow water and a sea snake was seen.

Swimming pool.

The main pool is cold, but if you warm up in the sun, you can take a dip, or intense swimming, ball games. There is a heated pool, but there are no sun loungers near this pool, in other words, you will sunbathe on the large (main pool) and go swim in another.

By the way, the water in it was not always warmer, maybe it is not heated every day. There is a pool for children, large and small.

Bars.

Pool bar. Not much to say. Everything is great. The staff is friendly, all wishes are taken into account, sometimes they joke (specific humor), but this does not spoil the impression. This applies to all bars.

Food:

Food at the highest level, according to personal experience and the experience of friends, there has never been such a high-quality and varied food. The hotel used to be for citizens of Belgium and Germany, and for these guests this hotel was treated with great attention.

Lunch and dinner, you can just burst, he gained a couple of pounds for the rest. There were also tuna steaks and every evening there is a dish from the chef, this whole composition (meat + garnish + sauce + presentation) looks very beautiful and tastes great!

Staff.

There really are no questions at all, everyone is friendly and at the same time invisible. Always go to a meeting in different issues.
From the lobby to cleaning, no one asks or waits for money. Everywhere there are chests for tips and if you wish, you just put them there, conveniently and unobtrusively! A friend gave the bartender $1, so he took it and put it in a chest. I gave in the absence of prying eyes, put it in my pocket and gave me a bottle of alcohol and a bottle of Pepsi in the room. (but in secret and in a bag) Cleaning in the room is not clear when it happens, there was cleaning before lunch, it was after dinner, in short, it is not clear. Swans were not spun in the presence of a dollar and without a bill, everything is standard - good.

I took a hookah with me, smoked on the balcony, very carefully, after smoking, I cleaned everything up after myself so that there would be no unnecessary questions, comments, etc.

Animation:

A wide variety of sports games, everyone can find something for themselves.

There is football and tennis, for these types it is better to have suitable shoes, there is ping pong and, of course, beach volleyball, and for myself, I opened archery, very interesting and unusual, since I used to hold only onions or planed from a tree))) ) Many thanks to Vitalik - an animator from Ukraine, taught everything, showed everything, and you could always ask something outside the animation program. (for example, the taxi fare to the Airport, how much does it cost to top up the Internet within the hotel and behind them) In short - the master!

Well, the most interesting thing is that we were in this hotel for 7 nights and we had to leave, but there was snow at home and we didn’t want to go home at all, it was decided to stay for a couple more days with all our might. I turned to the guide with a question about how such a procedure takes place, to which the answer was given that only a travel agent (tour operator) can extend the tour. I contacted my travel agent, but alas, there were no more available places to book.
But I was advised that this service could be available at the hotel itself, and they would pick up a ticket for the right date for me. We didn’t even think about giving up with the room reservation, I went to the guest service (these are the guys who work with guests on various issues (recording to the a la carte restaurant, etc. ) they said that such an issue can be resolved through the reception, and EUREKA 100 evergreens per night was fine for me, and my agent just had to find tickets for the evening of the 2nd day, which was done. It cost me another 150 evergreens and we also spent 6 bucks on a taxi to the airport. We enjoyed our vacation for two whole days.

I want to return to this hotel again, but I think next time I will choose a different period.
