I read reviews about the hotel, they were very diverse (as well as our impressions of it as a result), but we chose this hotel because it is faster to go from Sharm than to the others, and the sea is 3 minutes away. The first impression was that we were almost in shock (despite our moral preparation, thanks to the same comments), we arrived at 6-7 in the morning, asked for a decent room (for $ 20), and went to have breakfast... Indeed, the mugs were slightly broken, and in general it was not very neat in the dining room (it’s hard to call a restaurant), but we didn’t despair, I always tried to set my husband up for a positive holiday, the sea, the sun, what else do you need? But by dinner, all my optimizi dried up... let's go ask the guides (who, apparently, are so tired of scaring everyone and offering their vouchers that they can barely speak with their tongues) where is there any restaurant nearby. By the way, this is the negative thing that happened on the first day. Now the pluses are the room is large (and the fact that there is not quite new furniture did not bother us personally) that's what I would focus on is a BIG bed, they change linen every day and make all sorts of cute towel rolls (of course we shouldn’t forget about other people’s traditions, $ 1-2 a day won’t spoil the weather, but returning from the beach to your room and pleasantly surprised, it’s worth it) We also really liked the beach, it seems like you are alone there! You can’t hear drunken Russian speech, and in general you can’t hear anyone (only the sound of the sea and sometimes pleasant oriental music) I’ll give you advice, move 100 meters away from the pier (maybe more) there are three large stones and a palm tree, it’s almost opposite the new hotel, non-working more, and there you will see the blue lagoons....it's just a thrill!! ! There are fewer fish there, but rarer specimens can be found, and even turtles. The beauty is indescribable! Naturally, we went to Israel and Jordan, for this Taboo is chosen (and not for a noisy holiday) We found Ibrahim already known to everyone on the Internet : -)
But somehow it turned out that we came to a meeting with a guide (Pegasus) and almost agreed to go with him (we decided that we could overpay $ 100 for peace of mind) Thank God that those excursions that we wanted were in their program not found for our week! We somehow found Ibrahim's number (I accidentally left it at home, took only Asya, and wi-fi did not work), he called us back, and we went to Israel the next day. Excellent guide, program, bus. We were in one day visited Jerusalem (for $ 100 per person) (Old City, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and on the Dead Sea) and Palestine (Bethlehem-Church of the Nativity of Christ) In Pegasus for $ 155 they carry only to Jerusalem, the old city, without Bethlehem) Actually, we took a 2-day excursion (Israel-Petra) but we were so tired in Israel... that we didn’t go to Jordan. ". . . We would have no one to present for our money! But having phoned Ibrahim, we agreed to go on the next day (already without an overnight stay) we were picked up near the barrier, and after driving for an hour and swimming for 30-40 minutes, we ended up in a very pleasant country of Jordan (I advise everyone! ) Well, I really liked the guide Tair ! ! ! Pleasant, kind, loving people and his country, and most importantly an honest, unobtrusive person! So don't be afraid! We have always (Turkey, Thailand) taken only from tour operators, but here we took a chance, which we did not regret - and saved money, and saw even more than the rest. Well, to the end, I’ll return to the hotel (sorry that there are so many, this is my first review)))) On the second and third days, we either got used to it, or bought food (or maybe all at once), but we almost liked everything, it was more or less tasty (Arab cuisine is generally specific, the main thing is not to type everything in a row, it’s better to take what you know and love), the employees smiled, it’s clean around, the birds sing. For 52t. r. for two, fly to a warm country with the most beautiful sea... Maybe on Holliday! Have a nice holiday!
P. S. I forgot the most important thing - in Israel, if you spend more than $ 150 in stores, you must return the tax at the border... Ha! We were returned (4% of 2500) i. e. $ 400..... FAKE BANKNOTES. So, be careful, do not take old dollars)))
