Modern travelers today are very attentive to the process of choosing a hotel. After all, no one wants to pay for the tour, and on arrival at the place to be disappointed with the conditions of stay. In order to get the most accurate idea of what awaits in a particular hotel, a modern tourist is not enough just to get acquainted with the official description and listen to advice from the tour operator. So, today the majority of people try to study and impressions of other travelers who happened to visit the place, which is considered as an option for the holiday. After all, in their reviews, tourists frankly tell us about what they liked in this or that hotel, but what, on the contrary, disappointed and upset.

In this regard, we decided to make it easier for you to summarize the comments of our compatriots regarding their vacation in the Crystal Cyrene Hotel 4 * (Sharm El Sheikh). First of all, it should be noted that most tourists completely do not regret the choice made. In their opinion, the rest was worth the money spent and left a lot of positive emotions. But we learn about everything in more detail.

The hotel itself

In general, the placement left quite a majority of our compatriots. According to them, the proposed numbers were quite spacious and with everything necessary. Furniture and appliances are not new, but everything is in a normal, working condition. Guests insist that upon check-in, the hotel employee checks whether everything in the room is functioning. If any malfunction is found, it will be fixed in the very near future, or you will be offered to move to other apartments.

As for cleaning, it was carried out regularly and qualitatively. Also, travelers claim that cleaners here are not lazy every day to make fun figures from towels. And they do it, regardless of whether you leave them a tip or not. Similar amusing monkeys, swans and other animals were especially liked by the kids.

As for the shortcomings, some guests complained about this fact: in case of an early arrival at the Crystal Cyrene Hotel 4 * (Sharm El Sheikh), they were forced to wait two hours a day, without giving out bracelets, so the guests could not go to breakfast or dinner. However, this problem was easily solved, if you pay in addition to the reception for early settlement. To our compatriots it cost about 30 dollars. In this case, they were almost immediately placed in their assigned room.

Another disadvantage is that a number of guests consider expensive internet in the hotel. Therefore, many guests bought a local SIM card with an Internet package. It costs about ten dollars. And the Internet suffices for several days, in order to exchange messages in instant messengers and check mail.

Reviews about the territory and location of the hotel

As for the territory of the hotel Crystal Cyrene (Ex. Sol Cyrene) 4 *, it seemed quite large and well-groomed for our compatriots. There is not much greenery here, as near the neighboring hotel "Crystal Sharm". However, due to the fact that both hotels are part of the same network, you can stroll through the common area. But at the same time, guests warn that you can not use the infrastructure facilities of another hotel. So, for example, if you live in Crystal Siren, then you can not go to lunch at the Crystal Sharm restaurant.

As for the location of the hotel, then, according to tourists, it can be called remote from the center. So, to the Old Town and Naami Bay can be reached by taxi or bus. And a taxi sometimes goes cheaper, especially if you cooperate with other guests who want to travel outside the hotel. Tourists claim that if you catch a taxi near the hotel, you can agree on a price of $ 6 one way.

Kitchen

The question of nutrition, as a rule, in the responses of tourists about hotels causes a lot of disagreement. The Crystal Cyrene 4 * Hotel (Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt) was no exception.

So, a number of guests argue that the food here is not organized very well. According to them, almost all dishes are seasoned with a lot of spices, and there are impossible. In addition, some guests in their comments complained about the fact that the chefs at the restaurant when distributing meat to their compatriots put the best pieces, and tourists from Russia and the CIS allegedly choose worse.

However, most travelers say that there are no problems with food in this hotel. According to them, the menu really does have seasonings, but there are not many. And there is always the opportunity to choose food for your taste. Of course, the variety of dishes here can not be compared to a five-star hotel, but it is definitely impossible to remain hungry. Also, tourists say that if in a restaurant it seems to you that the cook has put on your plate too little or an unsightly piece of meat, then you can quite tell him about it and ask him to replace.

Entertainment

Most tourists to Egypt come, of course, mainly for a beach holiday on the Red Sea. Crystal Cyrene 4 * (Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh) although it is located some distance from the sea, has its own sandy beach. Or rather, the local beach belongs to two hotels - Crystal Siren and Crystal Charm. The distance to it is about 500 meters. You can walk, or you can reach the beach on a small bus provided by the hotel. The transfer is organized regularly.

But still most of the holidaymakers preferred to take a pleasant walk to the sea on foot. According to them, you can walk to the beach in a measured step in just ten minutes. The transfer was mainly used by elderly people and tourists with young children.

The beach at the hotel is spacious, sandy. There is a sufficient number of sunbeds for everyone. The reef near the shore is inanimate, so the masses of underwater inhabitants are not to be found here. But when entering the water there are no corals, about which you risk seriously injuring your legs. Therefore, you can swim without special shoes. If you want to do snorkeling and watch the fascinating life of the underwater world, you can walk a few hundred meters to neighboring hotels with live reefs.

You can have a good time at the Crystal Cyrene 4 *. Guest reviews contain information that there are very good swimming pools here. They are regularly cleaned. Nearby there are sun terraces and bars where you can treat yourself to drinks. You can also have a snack in the snack bar. Animators work all day on the territory of the hotel complex. They offer vacationers do yoga, aqua aerobics, gymnastics, play volleyball or darts, and also take part in fun contests. In the evening amusement shows and entertainments are held in the amphitheater. Animators here, according to our compatriots, unobtrusive and pleasant.

Impression of the staff

In general, the reviews of our compatriots practically do not contain negative comments to the staff of the Crystal Siren Hotel. However, some dissatisfaction, as already mentioned above, concerns cooks distributing portions of food in a restaurant. But this problem is very easy to settle. The rest of the employees, in the opinion of most tourists, are friendly and pleasant people, and also do their job well.
