Returned recently. I am writing a review, because I myself search the entire Internet when choosing a hotel.
We arrived at 9pm. The road from Sharm took about 2.5 hours, although everywhere they write that 3-3.5. We were seated right away, we didn't pay anything extra. Room 2120. As for me, it is completely normal, spacious. Everything worked. 3 Russian channels. Pleased with the presence of a cooler on each floor. Made it to dinner. He's there until 10:30. And, here's another, on the way from the airport there will be a stop near a small supermarket. The guide will say that everything is cheaper there than in a hotel. So don't believe it. We bought slippers for swimming in a shop in the lobby for $ 4, they cost 5 on the beach. In general, there are practically no shops there, but you will find everything for swimming. It makes no sense to change money, they take dollars everywhere. The territory is small, but if there is something to compare, clean, well-groomed. They feed. . . well. . . you will find what to eat, but almost all the time there is one assortment, the variations are very insignificant. The sun sets behind the mountains by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so we left at 7.30, had breakfast and went to the beach. The first day we lay by the pool, but the water in it is cool for me, there is constant circulation and does not have time to heat up. There are sun loungers on the beach, there are always enough of them, there are a lot of shadows, if someone is afraid of the sun, like me. Sunbathed with tanning oil 6. Never burned. On the 7th day I thought that it was no longer necessary to smear and burned out immediately. There were flies on the beach in the morning, but we took body splashes from mosquitoes with us, we were fine. The room also included a fumigator, there are few mosquitoes, but still... The staff is very friendly, unobtrusive. Visitors are mostly couples over 40-50. At first there were many Russians, but after 3-4 days they left and many Germans, Brazilians arrived, there were Arab families for a couple of days, but I didn’t see any loud ones there, as they say. It's sad for the youth there. There is practically no entertainment, while there are many Russians, they organize karaoke, some kind of disco, and so the program is small for children for an hour somewhere and that's it, the "sanatorium" freezes.
We entertained ourselves with massages. This is what I recommend! On the beach, the girls do a massage, but if you feel uncomfortable there, then you can tell them and do it in the spa center for the same money. Very high quality! There is also a beauty salon in the spa. Kemal is awesome! does a pedicure, I also did a complex of facial massages with masks. So everything is fine there, but too quiet. I myself do not like intrusive noise, but there it is complete relaxation. I would not advise with children, there is no children's animation as such, the children will be bored, and the entrance to the sea is so-so. It is good to swim there, but it is impossible to walk along the bottom.
