- 2:088:08 AM. As usual, I arrived to see how
- 2:12the hotel welcomes its tourists. The
- 2:17German premium hotel, Steigenberger
- 2:20Alcazar. This is my first time visiting
- 2:23it. I was here before as a guest. My
- 2:27subscribers invited me. I was staying
- 2:30at Pickalbatros Moderna. And now we
- 2:33will finally see how our vacation goes.
- 2:42It is always expensive, so it will be
- 2:46very interesting to compare it with
- 2:51Rixos. So, I got through, guys.
- 2:57Security, proceed to reception. Well,
- 3:02comparing it to Rixos is probably not
- 3:05quite right, because they have a
- 3:08different concept. We'll see now.
- 3:14It’s very curious; the food should be
- 3:16high-quality and the service good. Uh,
- 3:19I wonder what the alcohol is like. My
- 3:22subscribers, they vacationed at Rixos.
- 3:26That was a long time ago. And they said
- 3:29they liked this hotel more than Rixos.
- 3:34So I’m interested in checking it out.
- 3:53I’ve been to Hurghada. It’s
- 3:56completely different there; this is a
- 3:58higher level. The hotel opened in 2017.
- 4:34Here is the lobby, the chandelier, the
- 4:39flowers, and to the left.
- 4:46>> It smells very nice. They offered me,
- 4:51saying, "Please, have a seat." I showed
- 4:53my voucher. Good service. They brought
- 4:59juice. Let’s try it now. Oh, super
- 5:07natural mango juice. Well, I haven't
- 5:11had mango for a while. Mostly I've been
- 5:13drinking orange juice lately. The mango
- 5:15is very delicious. Hello, guys.
- 5:18>> Do you want to buy medicine in Sharm El
- 5:20Sheikh? I recommend a pharmacy in
- 5:22Hadaba that I have personally verified.
- 5:24There is a free transfer and, uh, any
- 5:27payment method is accepted.
- 5:29Russian-speaking Dr. Nour works every
- 5:32day from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Viber
- 5:36and WhatsApp are at your service;
- 5:39contact details are in the video
- 5:41description. A good pharmacy. Good.
- 5:44That's it, I've been given a blue
- 5:47wristband and invited to the restaurant
- 5:51. They say it's out here to the right.
- 5:57So, they say if possible, we'll give
- 6:00you a room right away. If possible.
- 6:11Here, I understand, is our restaurant.
- 6:13Hello. As for the restaurant, look,
- 6:34it's all free here. I stepped out.
- 6:43There are tables outside, you can sit
- 6:46there. Coffee. Oh, there are birds here
- 6:52, look. So for those who are alone, be
- 6:56careful. They are jumping right on the
- 6:59tables. There is water here, also juice
- 7:09, a coffee machine, tea. This will
- 7:16likely be for dinner and lunch. Now
- 7:19let's go inside and see what the
- 7:21breakfast is like. I am very, very
- 7:25curious because when I was here a long
- 7:27time ago, I didn't have much experience
- 7:30, and it seemed simply gorgeous to me.
- 7:33Simply gorgeous. Well, the fact that
- 7:37crows have become active here is
- 7:40certainly not very good. You see, they
- 7:43are quite tame here already. I wanted
- 7:48to connect to the Wi-Fi, but it's
- 7:49asking for some password. I'll need to
- 7:52go to the reception to get them to
- 7:54connect me to the Wi-Fi. Here is our
- 7:57bar. Look, there's plain water, detox
- 8:01water, orange juice, and apple juice.
- 8:13Sweet water. They make natural coffee.
- 8:22A coffee machine. Here are fruits:
- 8:34apples, guava, peach, persimmon, kiwi,
- 8:38grapes, pear, figs, olives, black
- 8:46olives. Small cucumbers.
- 8:50>> Look at what a cool selection of cheese
- 8:52.
- 8:56>> This should be goat cheese, brie, blue
- 9:00cheese, butter, olive oil, sausage,
- 9:11smoked duck, basturma. Vegetables,
- 9:27tahini, cheese. Oh, here is red fish,
- 9:38herring, mackerel, white fish fillet.
- 9:51and various sauces vegetables, powdered
- 9:59sugar, raisins, nuts, milk, oatmeal
- 10:11made with water or milk. Sweet corn
- 10:18with milk, apples, rice pudding. And
- 10:41here are spices, pancakes, waffles. The
- 10:51guys are cooking here
- 10:53>> fried eggs, bacon, falafel, vegetables.
- 11:05They prepared herbs, vegetables,
- 11:06mushrooms. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes
- 11:21, mashed potatoes, Egyptian spices.
- 11:27Omelet, beans, vegetables, uh, boiled
- 11:39fish and boiled vegetables. So, Turkish
- 11:45bagel, simit, French toast, sweet
- 11:53potato. Apples, pastries, cake, muesli.
- 12:11There is a variety of milk to choose
- 12:13from here. By the way, there are
- 12:18already a lot of people in the morning.
- 12:19Yogurt, butter. Oatmeal, cereals,
- 12:31toppings, halva, jam, honeycomb, honey.

- 13:45>> cake. Puff pastries. Also here are
- 14:01melon, fresh pineapple, dates,
- 14:03grapefruit, pomegranate, dried apricots
- 14:07. We've looked at everything. Now we'll
- 14:13grab a plate. Let's try it. We also
- 14:19have natural strawberry juice, guava,
- 14:24mango, and orange. Look at this spread.
- 14:34I sat a bit further away on purpose so
- 14:36it's clearly visible in the sunlight.
- 14:40So, red fish, several types of cheese.
- 14:43And there's some white fish here too.
- 14:45Need to try it. Olives, basturma,
- 14:49vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes. I
- 14:53took some fresh pineapple, kiwi, butter
- 14:58, and pastries. I also grabbed some
- 15:02natural mango juice from the dispenser.
- 15:05So, bon appétit, everyone. The
- 15:08selection is good. Now we're going to
- 15:12try everything. Honestly, it's nice
- 15:14visiting hotels like this.
- 15:18>> Yeah.
- 15:22>> So, reach out to Tatiana. Tanya will
- 15:25calculate how much this hotel or any
- 15:28other one will cost.
- 15:31>> Friends, wishing you all the best mood.
- 15:34GrandTour travel agency, and I, Tatiana
- 15:37, am with you. Today we are reviewing a
- 15:40very cool hotel, Steigenberger Alcazar.
- 15:44All my guests note the high level of
- 15:46service at this hotel. And it's at a
- 15:50good price right now: 2,000 euros for
- 15:52six nights for two. Departing from
- 15:55Chisinau. Slava will inspect this hotel
- 15:58. And I remind you that we can book
- 16:00more than just Egypt. The winter season
- 16:03is approaching, which means exotic
- 16:06destinations. So, the Maldives,
- 16:09Dominican Republic, Thailand, UAE. We
- 16:12also have a flight program to Dubai. I
- 16:15look forward to your calls. Write, call
- 16:18, don't forget. But right now we're at
- 16:22Steigenberger Alcazar. Everyone watch
- 16:25and leave comments. Wishing everyone a
- 16:28good mood. Everything is super so far.
- 16:36The only thing is that at Rixos, there
- 16:39was mango. I haven't found mango here
- 16:41yet. I'm going to record a story now.
- 16:44Follow me on Instagram for the freshest
- 16:46information. Time flies, it's already
- 16:498:50. The guys already came by and
- 16:52asked what I'd like to drink. I said, "
- 16:56Nothing yet, we're going to try
- 16:58everything first." Everything tastes
- 17:42good so far. The goat cheese and the
- 17:44sweet potatoes are excellent. I've
- 17:50already moved on to dessert. Now let's
- 17:54try the pastries. I went and got coffee
- 17:58. Well, you can ask the staff, and they
- 18:01will bring it. So, overall, I had a
- 18:13pleasant breakfast. Now we'll head to
- 18:17reception; I want them to set up my
- 18:19Wi-Fi. I need to check the speed and
- 18:22how it works. Since we are in Nabq, you
- 18:29can see there's a light breeze today.
- 18:33It's interesting to see, we have a long
- 18:35pier here. Which flag it is, yellow or
- 18:40red. The days are getting shorter,
- 18:44there's no more crazy heat. It turns
- 18:47out the majority of tourists are
- 18:50Europeans. I'm just reading the
- 18:55comments that you're writing. Most of
- 18:58our tourists come for the sea. By the
- 19:02way, the restaurant is small, but there
- 19:05are free tables. We have a large pool.
- 19:12By the way, look at our hotel map. Here
- 19:16is the beach and sun loungers. One pool
- 19:20. Second one. Third. There are a lot of
- 19:27older tourists. Look at what a lounge
- 19:31area there is here. I was at Rixos, you
- 19:49connect to the internet automatically
- 19:51there, but here it's via room number.
- 19:55So now we’ll go to reception and I'll
- 19:58try to connect to the internet. I’ve
- 20:01finished my business and want to test
- 20:02the speed. Guys, I've been connected to
- 20:05the internet. Here, look, we have
- 20:08Turkish coffee. Yes, Turkish,
- 20:10>> right?
- 20:11>> Uh-huh.
- 20:13>> Turkish coffee and a lobby bar. Here is
- 20:20a lounge area. Everything looks
- 20:24beautiful. Expensive and rich. Look at
- 20:30the chandelier. Look here, sweets,
- 20:40natural juice, dates, chocolate and our
- 20:49bar. Let's order something now. Some
- 20:55kind of cocktail. Ordered a Pornstar.
- 20:59Now, guys, let's make and try the
- 21:02cocktail. He's cooling the shaker with
- 21:05ice. Cabana.
- 21:11>> Our bartender.
- 21:12>> Ahd.
- 21:13>> Ahmet.
- 21:14>> Ahmed. Everything is good.
- 21:18>> All done. Wonderful.
- 21:19>> Subar.
- 21:20>> Yeah.
- 21:24>> Oh. Oh, crunchy.
- 21:40>> Let's go taste the drinks. There we go.
- 21:47So, they should actually give a shot of
- 21:50champagne too according to all the
- 21:55rules. I don't see passion fruit yet.
- 22:08The cocktails are a bit simpler than at
- 22:11Rixos. Today the sun is so bright, you
- 22:16could get sunburned. Now let's walk
- 22:22around the grounds and see how
- 22:23everything looks. I'm looking, we have
- 22:26such a huge pool at the beginning. So,
- 22:29look, there are cabanas by the pool.
- 22:42Sun loungers. Easy entry, handrails,
- 22:59steps. Everything is perfectly clean.
- 23:04The depth is 1.55 meters. There are, by
- 23:25the way, few people in the hotel.
- 23:28Almost all the sun loungers are free.
- 23:31There's a shower and a sun shade there.
- 23:40Since it's a Jaz hotel, maybe the
- 23:43towels are in the room. Three-story
- 23:59buildings. I've been in Egypt for 4
- 24:10years, and this is my first time
- 24:13staying at this hotel. There is a
- 24:21gentle entry here, the depth increases
- 24:23gradually. That's how our main pool
- 24:31near the reception looks. Another pool
- 24:38for children. Everything is free, 45 cm
- 24:48deep. And it's cool that there is a
- 24:52canopy here. Here is the restaurant by
- 24:59the pool.
- 25:09>> Soft music is playing. In general, such
- 25:13a relaxing atmosphere in the morning.
- 25:19Let's take some measurements now. I
- 25:20wonder what the pool temperature is.
- 25:22This is what the sun loungers look like
- 25:25. They are worn out in some places. By
- 25:34the way, look, the pools are already
- 25:36starting to cool down gradually. 26.2
- 25:38° is the water temperature in the pool
- 25:41, even 25.8. And the air temperature on
- 25:46October 8th is 30.7. So, we have a bar
- 25:53here by the pool where you can order
- 25:56drinks.
- 26:01>> There's a coffee machine, and the fans
- 26:04are running. You see, birds are flying,
- 26:08waiting for them to set the tables.
- 26:11There will probably be snacks for lunch
- 26:13here. I see they have chips available
- 26:16here. Nuts. There. Notice those on the
- 26:23first floor have a pool with stairs
- 26:27leading directly into it. See, one, two
- 26:32, three, they made a nice closed-off
- 26:34area. Look, the buildings are three
- 26:37stories high there. Here are the pool
- 26:40stairs; they even added a fence on this
- 26:44side. It feels like a private area.
- 26:49Behind the main pool, where the sun
- 26:51loungers and the bar are. There is a
- 26:53restroom behind the snack bar. Let’s
- 26:57walk around first to see the grounds,
- 27:00then head toward the beach. There’s
- 27:03also a sign for the gym. We’ll head
- 27:06in there now. The trees are beautifully
- 27:10trimmed around the grounds, lots of
- 27:13greenery, palm trees. There are special
- 27:24feeders for the birds, and feed. This
- 27:29is the kids 'club. Schedule is from 10
- 27:40to 5, and from 8:30 to 9 PM there’s a
- 27:44mini-disco. The kids have water, sweets
- 27:54, fruit, and tables here. Hello.
- 27:59>> And this is the room where the kids
- 28:02draw. Table football. The air
- 28:11conditioning is on. Entertainers.
- 28:18>> Swings, slides, and a kids' pool here.
- 28:26Also a playground and mini-football.
- 28:29And don't forget the GrandTour travel
- 28:31agency, Tatiana from Vinnytsia. She
- 28:34will book this hotel or any other for
- 28:36you. There are often deals, so write to
- 28:40Tatiana. By the way, I’ve gone up to
- 28:43the second floor. I see a Chinese
- 28:46restaurant here. Maybe we’ll even
- 28:49book something for today. And from up
- 28:52here, you can already see the sea. Look
- 28:55, when you enter the hotel on the left,
- 29:00there's a tennis court, football, and
- 29:04here is the spa and gym. The spa is
- 29:10open from 10 to 7. Look, there's almost
- 29:17no one here, which is great. A 45 cm
- 29:21zone for the little ones. And the pool
- 29:25for adults is 1 meter 45 deep. We have
- 29:31a separate entrance to the gym, open
- 29:33from 8 AM to 8 PM. On the second floor.
- 29:44So, what’s here? Infused water, plain
- 29:49water, towels, apples. Air conditioning
- 29:56is on; machines for chest, legs, rowing
- 29:58. You can do pull-ups here. Back.
- 30:06Shoulder machine, cardio zone,
- 30:09treadmills, elliptical, ski trainer.
- 30:16Parallel bars. Abs, bench. Back,
- 30:26dumbbells. Hyperextension, small
- 30:31dumbbells, mats, ball. The dumbbells,
- 30:38by the way, are quite small. Basically,
- 30:42they have the essentials for a workout.
- 30:46You can maintain your fitness. The guys
- 30:50are doing great. Into sports, working
- 30:52out in the morning. And you can tell
- 30:55who works out by their physique.
- 31:01Let’s go into the spa and see what we
- 31:04have here. You can book once for free
- 31:09—sauna, jacuzzi, steam room—
- 31:12otherwise, it costs money. Let’s see
- 31:16what it all looks like. You need to
- 31:21make a reservation at the reception.
- 31:24Look, a relaxation area. Jacuzzi.
- 31:29There's a bar here, and a sauna. Steam
- 31:37room, showers. Well, that’s
- 31:42everything I managed to see. Now we're
- 31:45heading to the beach, we'll take a look
- 31:48at the grounds, and then we'll check
- 31:51with reception to see if there are any
- 31:54rooms available. In general, this hotel
- 31:57is always quite expensive. It’s
- 32:00supposed to be more quiet and relaxing.
- 32:04People come here, most likely, for
- 32:07high-quality service, good food, and
- 32:10peace and quiet. And now we'll check
- 32:14everything regarding the beach, because
- 32:17I still haven’t dived from the pier
- 32:21here, I don't know what the reef is
- 32:22like. Good news. I just happened to
- 32:25walk up to the reception, and they're
- 32:27already giving me room 515. Now we’re
- 32:31going to go take a look at it.
- 32:34They’re going to take me to the room
- 32:36on a golf cart now. They’re giving us
- 32:39a room early. So, it's 10:40, and we're
- 32:44already checking in. ATM. Here you can
- 32:50exchange dollars for pounds. There will
- 32:56be a show program here by the bar,
- 32:59right nearby. A small tour of the
- 33:16territory. We're going to the upper
- 33:26floors. There should be a nice view,
- 33:29hopefully, from the room, I hope. Okay,
- 33:34so here is my room 5115. Yay! Let's
- 33:39take a look at the room. We’ll start,
- 33:42as always, with the balcony. I'm happy
- 33:46that it faces the pool, not the garden
- 33:49or a fence. This works as an à la
- 33:53carte restaurant in the evening, but
- 33:55during the day, you can probably grab a
- 33:57snack here. So, what do we have here?
- 34:00An ashtray, a table, a small balcony
- 34:06like this. You can bring a rope, string
- 34:09it up, and dry your clothes. It's not
- 34:13recommended to use this, because there
- 34:15might be some rust. Then it gets on the
- 34:18white clothes. Let's see what the room
- 34:20looks like. A compliment, green apples,
- 34:25an armchair, a TV, a desk. Here is a
- 34:31double bed. That's what it all looks
- 34:35like. The air conditioning is working.
- 34:39Carpeting. So, let's look at the
- 34:53textiles. Wow, look at this pillow.
- 34:56This one is super soft. This one is a
- 35:01bit firmer. So you have a choice if you
- 35:04want one higher or lower. So, here you
- 35:13see, since this is the Jaz
- 35:16Steigenberger chain, you have to carry
- 35:20your towel with you. For instance, at
- 35:23Rixos you just drop it. In that regard,
- 35:26of course, that's an advantage. And
- 35:30next, there's coffee, tea, and a kettle
- 35:36. This is for a fee. Chips and the
- 35:40mini-bar in the fridge are also for a
- 35:45fee. Chocolate, and beer, mineral water
- 35:50, wine. What else do we have here?
- 35:54Pepsi, Mirinda, non-alcoholic beer, 7
- 35:58Up, and Pepsi Zero. Beer, Stella,
- 36:06Heineken. This is all for a fee. But
- 36:09this plain bottled water, this is free
- 36:13in our mini-bar. Rixos doesn't have
- 36:16this. At Rixos, there's beer and water.
- 36:23Everything was included. Here,
- 36:26everything is limited. They gave me one
- 36:29card for the room, but the second card
- 36:32is already in the slot. That's very
- 36:34good. Everything will keep charging.
- 36:38Their concept is based on a QR code.
- 36:43Also, they gave me one free visit to
- 36:46the spa salon and a 10-euro discount on
- 36:50a massage. That's how it is. QR code.
- 36:55You can go in and read it. I think they
- 36:58have five free a la carte restaurants.
- 37:02You can book them. There are just
- 37:11shelves here, you can leave something.
- 37:17Full-length mirror. Free safe. Shelves
- 37:33for clothes, two robes, slippers. I
- 37:40don't know, my followers, it's been how
- 37:43long, maybe five or six years, they
- 37:45said: "We've been to every hotel.""We
- 37:48liked this one more than the Rixos."
- 37:50Well, I don't really see it as better
- 37:53yet, I don't know. Write in the
- 37:56comments. I wouldn't say so. Let's look
- 38:00at the bathroom. Mirror, hairdryer,
- 38:04here's a dispenser, lotion, shampoo,
- 38:08magnifying mirror, washbasin. Sometimes
- 38:17there are scales, too. I don't see them
- 38:19yet. Bathtub, mirror here. Towels go
- 38:26here. There's also a shower cabin, gel,
- 38:32shampoo, a large shower head. Now we'll
- 38:40check the water pressure. Two large
- 38:45towels, two small ones. A separate
- 38:49cabin, a bidet and the toilet. Phone to
- 39:03contact the reception. That's how
- 39:07everything looks. In general, it's very
- 39:10interesting to check into another
- 39:12premium hotel, Steigenberger, in
- 39:14contrast to Rixos. A solid door, but
- 39:23this Alzar is considered a high-level
- 39:26hotel. That's it, now we'll change and
- 39:32go see the grounds. The beach, I'm glad
- 39:35the guys gave me the room right away.
- 39:38And how is the shower? Everything is in
- 39:40perfect order. Good pressure, large
- 39:44shower head. I haven't tried the
- 39:47bathtub yet. I probably won't be lying
- 39:49in it. There is a bidet shower. Here,
- 39:56the towels are, of course, all clean
- 39:58and smell fresh. The room is also in
- 40:02perfect order. I’ve already put on,
- 40:04you see, a white robe. And these things
- 40:08about the paid bar, that's fine, let
- 40:12them be in Jazz hotels, but if it's a
- 40:15premium hotel, I believe these things
- 40:18should be included in the price.
- 40:21Especially since the price is almost
- 40:23300 dollars a night. And, well, I would
- 40:28also like these things to be there,
- 40:31like having capsule coffee. It's just
- 40:35good, look, that we arrived. When I
- 40:39returned to Egypt from the Arab
- 40:42Emirates, we looked at mid-range hotels
- 40:44with you, there was Votel and
- 40:46Experience Sea Breeze. Then we looked
- 40:51at two budget hotels, one of which just
- 40:54opened, Rasto. And after that, we
- 41:00started looking at premium hotels, for
- 41:03different levels of followers, because
- 41:09some of my viewers only travel to
- 41:11premium hotels and say: "We are waiting
- 41:13for luxury hotels." And also, you know
- 41:17how people don't want to go to the same
- 41:19hotels. For example, they've been to
- 41:22Rixos, they want to see something new,
- 41:23new, new. I've checked almost all the
- 41:26hotels in Sharm, and in my opinion,
- 41:28Rixos is number one. Number one in
- 41:31everything. In terms of the show
- 41:34program, the food is good, the service,
- 41:36everything. In general, Rixos currently
- 41:39has no competitors. When I was in
- 41:42Hurghada, I also liked Xanadu, it's
- 41:44also a good level. I stayed at Rixos
- 41:47Magawish and Xanadu, both were very
- 41:50high level. And I also liked Jaz
- 41:52Aquaviva, specifically for the food. It
- 41:55was super, there are some issues with
- 41:56the beach, but in principle. Well,
- 41:58right now we are looking at
- 42:01Steigenberger. I didn't really like the
- 42:04one in Hurghada, however it was. Not
- 42:06really for me. There are several of
- 42:07them there. There is one decent one
- 42:09somewhere. Look, the animation has
- 42:12started. They've inflated a ring. Some
- 42:21dancing in the pool. I'll show you.
- 42:24This is our second pool. I showed you
- 42:27the first one near the reception. This
- 42:28is the second one. Half-steps. Entry
- 42:31for this pool. There's a bar, chips,
- 42:36alcohol, and a sunshade. Tables. Detox
- 42:40water is here. Fruits.
- 42:46>> There's coffee.
- 42:49>> A coffee machine is there. There are
- 42:53chips. Canned beer. Our bartender.
- 43:01Let's try it now. Cornstar. There is
- 43:04champagne. A very large number of
- 43:24foreigners speaking English. Mostly,
- 43:27it’s a very European-style hotel here
- 43:30.
- 43:35>> Comment on what you think. See, guys,
- 43:38they’re providing service right here,
- 43:41bringing drinks to the sunbeds. Sat in
- 43:45the shade, grabbed some chips. I really
- 43:51want to show you what’s here. See,
- 43:58the guy is bringing hibiscus tea and
- 44:01iced coffee. So, I walked around this
- 44:07pool. Towels everywhere, everything is
- 44:10taken. Now we'll go closer to the beach
- 44:17, I'll show you the situation, the flag
- 44:19, the pier, and the beach entry.
- 44:21There's a shower here. Actually, look,
- 44:31there is my building. Near this pool.
- 44:35So, we looked at one pool at the
- 44:36beginning, that’s the second one. And
- 44:39here further on is the third one. And
- 44:43for some reason, everyone is by the
- 44:45pools. The trees are beautifully
- 44:48trimmed. And here it’s so relaxing
- 44:56and quiet. Who wants to read? I see
- 45:03people mostly lying with books, reading
- 45:05. Also, practically everything is taken
- 45:09. Sunbeds. Comfortable pool entry,
- 45:16steps, and it’s shallow here for kids
- 45:20to lie down. Rubber mats on the sides
- 45:24so you don't slip. By the way, you
- 45:27could
- 45:28>> fall. And a bar next to the pool, there
- 45:36is a bar by every pool. Well, if you
- 45:40want to lie down, I don't see any free
- 45:42spots yet. So, look, we have ice cream
- 45:50in packets freely available, which is
- 45:52very pleasing. You can lie on the grass
- 45:55. Look at this, what an interesting
- 46:00pool here. Water is flowing down. Dear
- 46:07guests, please do not reserve sunbeds
- 46:10and towels. In case of your absence for
- 46:13an hour, the sunbed will be cleared.
- 46:18Well, I don't know, everything is taken
- 46:19, it's hard to find a place to lie down
- 46:21. It's a problem finding a sun lounger.
- 46:24The girls from the administration, I
- 46:25spoke with them, they are from Ukraine.
- 46:27There are seven restaurants here, you
- 46:30can book them yourself using a QR code.
- 46:32Look, there are nudists playing golf
- 46:35here. A stage, maybe tonight we'll see
- 46:40what will be happening on the beach. Eh
- 46:45, the guys are playing golf. The man,
- 46:47by the way, lowered—I won't film it
- 46:49—he lowered his underwear, rolled it
- 46:51up in the back, basically, so his
- 46:53bottom would tan. I haven't seen
- 46:55anything like this before, of course.
- 46:57Girls, one question. Men, you rarely
- 47:00see something like this. Look, by the
- 47:05way, we have already reached the beach.
- 47:09Cool fluffy umbrellas. Here is a sports
- 47:13zone, football, tennis. And the coolest
- 47:18rooms are these kinds of villas. Most
- 47:21likely, there is also a pool there.
- 47:27It's made private. You can't even tell
- 47:29if there's a pool there or not. Sun
- 47:31loungers are standing there. Yes, there
- 47:33is a pool, I see railings. So these
- 47:37rooms by the sea are the coolest ones.
- 47:43Look, there's a fence. And here's the
- 47:48promenade along the beach. And our pier
- 47:56. Now we will start from the right side
- 47:59, walk along the beach, and I'll show
- 48:01you the sea entry. The sun is shining,
- 48:05palm trees. And green grass. We have a
- 48:12red flag hanging. Most likely, we won't
- 48:14be able to swim off the pier in the
- 48:16first half of the day. I hope we'll be
- 48:19able to swim in the second half. I just
- 48:23want to see what the underwater world
- 48:25is like here and how they transport
- 48:28people, because it should be long. A
- 48:31golf cart should be transporting people
- 48:34. Oh, by the way, I don't know why my
- 48:38subscribers say that they've been
- 48:40everywhere and that Steigenberger is
- 48:43the best hotel. I don't know, but that
- 48:46was a long time ago, five or six years
- 48:49ago. At the moment, I've looked at all
- 48:53the Rixos hotels. In my opinion, that
- 48:56is currently the coolest hotel. It has
- 49:00a water park for both kids and adults.
- 49:03There is no water park here. Here we
- 49:06have a bar right on the beach. Tables.
- 49:14This kind of shade from the sun. You
- 49:22can drink cocktails here. The fans are
- 49:27running. It works from 10:00 to 17:30.
- 49:35Snacks from 12:30 to 17:00. And there
- 49:39is also a dinner restaurant here, I see
- 49:41, by reservation, it's open from 19:00
- 49:44to 22:00. There is a toilet on the
- 49:47beach, a changing room, and a bar here.
- 50:09>> By the way, they have canned beer here,
- 50:10but they don't give it in cans, they
- 50:12open it themselves and pour it. Glasses
- 50:15. Now let's check the situation on the
- 50:21beach and the availability of free sun
- 50:23loungers. By the way, I've arrived at
- 50:28the beach, and there isn't a single row
- 50:30of free sun loungers. Practically
- 50:34everything is occupied, practically,
- 50:37you see, on the right side. Here are
- 50:47the cabanas. Let's go to the sea now
- 50:59and take a look. It's strange that I
- 51:02don't see any free ones near the pools
- 51:05or the beach. This zone is occupied.
- 51:07The next one too. And in the distance,
- 51:11it's reserved. Perhaps this is a paid
- 51:14area. This is what our shore entry
- 51:22looks like. What? Tell me, how do you
- 51:36feel about a vacation for 290 dollars a
- 51:40day per person? Tatyana from Karandur
- 51:44Travel Agency says: Sva, you need to
- 51:46show Steigenberger for contrast. Look,
- 51:49for example, here people are walking,
- 51:52there is practically no depth. Here is
- 51:55a person lying down, they moved 10
- 51:58meters from the shore and there is
- 52:01nowhere even to lie down. In Radamis,
- 52:04there are lagoons where you can go in
- 52:06and lie down, with knee-deep or
- 52:08waist-deep entry from the shore. I
- 52:10don't see any of that here yet. And now
- 52:13, you see, it's low tide, the water has
- 52:15gone out. And with these guys, you see,
- 52:18you can learn. It costs 300 dollars.
- 52:22They will teach you for 3 days, and you
- 52:24will be riding a board. There is the
- 52:28guy, you see, the instructor is
- 52:29teaching. It's a windy spot, perfect
- 52:33for summer, by the way, you feel better
- 52:35, it's not as hot as the bays in Nabq.
- 52:39But in winter, of course, it's better
- 52:41to choose something else, a more
- 52:44windless place. We have a red flag. But
- 52:49if you walk along the pier and go down
- 52:51the stairs, there is an entry like that
- 52:53. I'll show you now. By the way, look,
- 52:57there are few sun loungers on the beach
- 53:00, and it turns out that either
- 53:01everything is free, or it's not.
- 53:04Honestly, if I wanted to lie down
- 53:06somewhere right now, I don't see
- 53:08anywhere to lie down at all. There is
- 53:10no sun lounger. But look, I found some.
- 53:14One, two. Over there further is a third
- 53:17sun lounger. But generally, here is
- 53:21another, a second sun lounger. Well,
- 53:26there are few sun loungers, honestly;
- 53:28usually, you lie down wherever you want
- 53:30. This place will likely host some
- 53:34classes, like yoga. Look, this whole
- 53:39part is paid, you see, they will bring
- 53:42you things here. It costs 300, ah, it
- 53:46costs 30 euros. You reserve it, and you
- 53:50will have drinks and fruits. A zone
- 53:54like that on the beach. Sun lounger.
- 53:59>> This is why I haven't seen all the
- 54:02hotels in Sharm. The hotels I haven't
- 54:05looked at either have astronomical
- 54:07prices, meaning they aren't worth the
- 54:09money to visit. So, we have already
- 54:11looked at all the most interesting
- 54:13hotels a long time ago. A long time ago
- 54:15. Although they are hunting for fish,
- 54:17it's even blowing away with the wind.
- 54:30In general, it is shallow here. Even if
- 54:33there is a high tide, here, you see,
- 54:36there are no lagoons where you could
- 54:38lie down. We reached a place where you
- 54:53can lie in the water like a starfish.
- 54:57You can leave your things here. You see
- 55:00, a green flag, descent. And here is a
- 55:07cleared area like this. Sand and depth.
- 55:12So, I don't know. Comment with your
- 55:16opinion, it is very interesting. I
- 55:18won't go further because there is a red
- 55:20flag there. I hope they put up the
- 55:22green flag after lunch, and we'll be
- 55:25able to swim, I hope. Either today or
- 55:28tomorrow. Beautiful. Look at the Sinai
- 55:31Mountains. Somewhere there in the bay,
- 55:40I think, is the Barceló Tiran hotel. A
- 55:44pretty good option with decent food.
- 55:48And the price for it is also good.
- 55:51People return to it many times. Look,
- 55:56at Rixos, for example, even if there's
- 55:59a red flag, there's a saltwater pool,
- 56:02there's a super cool kids 'club for
- 56:05children, there's, uh, a shore entrance
- 56:13. Oh yeah, in general, like, I think
- 56:16Rixos is much better, and price-wise
- 56:19it’s even more expensive than RX. The
- 56:23time is already 12:37. Now, probably,
- 56:26lunch has either started or is about to
- 56:28. Anyway, we're going to go check out
- 56:31the lunch and the food now. By the way,
- 56:34a photo zone for the girls. See, you
- 56:37can take beautiful photos on the swing
- 56:42with the sea in the background, I'll
- 56:47show you.
- 56:50>> Hello, sir. My name is
- 56:52>> Do we have diving here, right? How much
- 56:54does it
- 56:54>> cost? Do you have a certificate? Yes, I
- 56:56have a certificate. Oh
- 56:58>> no, I don't have a certificate.
- 56:59>> First time?
- 57:00>> No, I’ve already dived four times.
- 57:01>> Four times. You can do 30 minutes and
- 57:03...
- 57:04>> How much?
- 57:05>> When you’re arranging the diving,
- 57:08decide on the spot, because they will
- 57:11lower the price. There's the diving
- 57:14club. It's an expensive hotel. Here,
- 57:17naturally, all services will be more
- 57:21expensive than, say, in Naama Bay.
- 57:25Let's have some champagne to lift the
- 57:27spirits. Ah, shukran, everything is
- 57:29khalas.
- 57:37>> In this bar, you can order a snack. See
- 57:39, soup, appetizers, salads. tuna,
- 57:56>> pasta, red fish, desserts. The most
- 58:05interesting thing is, looking at the
- 58:07sunbeds, there are many people, and the
- 58:10hotel is popular. In short, people are
- 58:12relaxing. Everything, you know, as they
- 58:15say, is known by comparison. To
- 58:18determine what is bad or good, you
- 58:20first need to stay in various hotels at
- 58:23roughly the same price. Therefore, it
- 58:27is too early to draw conclusions. A
- 58:29huge thank you to Tatyana for ordering
- 58:31this hotel review. Reach out to her for
- 58:34a package tour. Tatyana will offer you
- 58:38the options that suit you best. Whether
- 58:41it's this hotel or some other options.
- 58:43All useful links are in the description
- 58:45. My Instagram, uh, Mango Market Doctor
- 58:49Noor. Peace, kindness, and lots of
- 58:51money. Now we're going to go to lunch,
- 58:54we'll swim in the sea and the pools. I
- 58:58hope there will be a yellow flag. Yes,
- 59:00you know, I remember about five years
- 59:03ago when I was at this hotel, some
- 59:05subscribers were vacationing here, and
- 59:08I came to visit them. I did a small
- 59:12review back then. Although, of course,
- 59:14at that time I wasn't really looking at
- 59:18premium hotels yet. The best I had back
- 59:22then was the Albatros. Well, of course,
- 59:26that hotel seemed super, super cool to
- 59:28me. But after some time, once I’d
- 59:33been to almost all the hotels, you
- 59:36start looking at it all differently.
- 59:39That’s it, thanks for watching. Peace
- 59:42, kindness, more money, and good hotels
- 59:44. I'll see you again tomorrow. Goodbye.
- 59:47Thank you.
