The choice for this hotel fell by chance - we were guided by the date of departure, so that on the very first day of the vacation we would leave to rest.
We flew from Moscow to Sharm el-Sheikh airport (4 hour flight), spent an hour going through passport control and another 4 hours went to the hotel in a minibus. Insanely tired on the road, hungry and very thirsty. If possible, it is better to choose flights arriving at Taba airport (about an hour drive to the hotel) and be sure to agree to the offer of a travel agency representative to buy water near the airport.
We arrived at the hotel at the beginning of 11 pm local time. The room was settled immediately, promising to bring water and a snack. Half an hour after contacting the reception again, they brought us one bottle of water (0.6 l), but we didn’t wait to eat, we went to bed hungry. By the way, bottled water is given out upon check-in, and then you have to collect it yourself from coolers located on each floor.
We had a standard double room on the 3rd floor with a sea view. True, in this hotel all rooms with sea views)) The room has air conditioning, a TV, a refrigerator (no freezer, so you can’t freeze ice), a safe (free of charge) with an electronic lock, the code to open which you enter yourself. Hairdryer in the bathroom. A standard set of shampoos, soaps, etc. no, only bottles of liquid soap in the shower and near the sink, into which the cleaners add soap as they are used, so if you do not want to wash your hair with liquid soap, you need to bring shampoo with you. The room was cleaned daily, towels were also changed daily, but bed linen was never changed during the entire stay. The key to the room is an electronic one in the form of a plastic card, which must be inserted into a special slot in order for everything to work in the room. The TV is turned on with a button on the bottom of the screen.
The territory of the hotel is very compact, a lot of greenery, which is very carefully looked after: constantly watered, trimmed, weeded. Especially on the territory you can’t take a walk because of its compactness, and there is nowhere to go outside the territory - to the left and to the right there is nothing.
There are two fairly large and deep pools with fresh water on the territory (one is 1.55 m deep, the second is 1.45 m) and a pool for children 0.45 m deep. you need to take them to your room in the evening if you like to sunbathe at sunrise.
There is a playground where an animator is involved with the children (if any), but, in my opinion, all activities come down to the function of looking after the child. Animation at all in the hotel no.
Only Russian tourists seem to sunbathe and swim on the beach. By the way, Russians (as well as Ukrainians and Belarusians) are the predominant contingent in this hotel, in second place are the Poles, quite a bit of Italians. The beach is pretty unkempt. Garbage brought by waves or wind is cleaned very lazily and rarely. There are a lot of sunbeds, but there are few mattresses for sunbeds, and half of them have a very deplorable tattered appearance.
There is no pier, so you have to go to the edge of the reef, maneuvering between sea urchins, of which there are a huge number, and balancing on stones grown into corals (apparently, such a number of stones in the sea is due to the proximity of the mountains). There are not many marine life near the shore. The most convenient entrance to the sea (cleared from hedgehogs and stones) is at the very end of the beach. In the same place, it is most convenient to go down to swim along the reef, watch the fish and corals.
The food was rather poor in terms of assortment. Very few fruits: besides green melons and oranges, dates were given several times, but only twice were they of normal ripeness. Salads are basically the same - variations of cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots and cabbage. Desserts also did not differ in variety. And many of the dishes were just very spicy. At the time of our stay, the wine was completely absent (we are talking about local wine from the "all inclusive"), and strong alcoholic drinks are of very low quality and strength. Admittedly, the beer is pretty bad.
Basically, those who want to visit Israel, Jordan, visit Mount Moses and the monastery of St. Catherine come to this hotel.
Of course, we wanted a quiet and relaxing holiday, but so quiet and peaceful... Of course, we rested, swam, tanned, but we are unlikely to come to this hotel again.
