We rested in November, we were lucky with the weather, but in the evenings it was cool sometimes even cold. A very decent hotel for 4 *: a huge green area, a beach on site (also very large), a sandy beach - it was easy to enter the water. Not far from the coast there are very beautiful carrals and the underwater world, I recommend everyone to take a mask with you - this is a must see.

Not far from the coast there are very beautiful carrals and the underwater world, I recommend everyone to take a mask with you - this is a must see. The food was good, but monotonous. The rooms were basic and cleaned every day. The staff is friendly and very friendly, they spoke English, some understood Russian a little. Since we were at the end of November, we were told that it was no longer the season, there were few vacationers, there was no animation at all. We spent all the evenings in the hookah room, where we smoked a hookah, and the local Bedouins entertained us with national songs and dances - it was very funny. In general, we really liked the rest, the only thing that did not please us was the repair work that was carried out on the territory of the hotel, in some places the houses were restored and the bar on the beach was completely closed, the road tiles were changed, so we had to go around in circles, but it was not significant. We were satisfied.

Nuveiba Hilnan This is not the first time we have rested in Egypt, but usually we went to Sharm or Taba. Deciding to save on a ticket, we ventured to go to Nuweiba, Hilnan Nuweiba. Well, of course it's not Charm. One and a half stars from the hotel can be immediately removed, but the price was not high for a ticket.

Nuveiba Hilnan
This is not the first time we have rested in Egypt, but usually we went to Sharm or Taba. Deciding to save on a ticket, we ventured to go to Nuweiba, Hilnan Nuweiba.
Well, of course it's not Charm. One and a half stars from the hotel can be immediately removed, but the price was not high for a ticket. Mediocre service, food is so-so, there is a market nearby, you can buy fruit. The advantage of the hotel is the beach on the first line, a beautiful view of the mountains and the sea, the underwater world, which can be viewed right on the shore, having sailed a little. The city of Nuweiba itself is located near the border with Israel (about an hour by bus), which greatly simplifies the journey to Jerusalem. If anyone is going on an excursion to Israel or Jordan, I advise you to fuss in advance with buying an excursion, since the prices at the hotel are two, three times higher.

This hotel unexpectedly surprised us by the fact that we had to buy drinking water ourselves. We had a little quarrel with Pegasus operator Mukhamed. he did not give us dry rations for a trip to Israel for 1 day. We bought this tour from a local operator for $85 and it costs $175 from Pegasus. The difference is great.

We bought this tour from a local operator for $85 and it costs $175 from Pegasus. The difference is great. The food had to be taken out quietly. There are a lot of camels on the beach...... right in the sand, this is also not a pleasant moment. The food in the restaurant is very modest, but they were not hungry. There are not enough flowers on the territory of the hotel, a good gardener is needed. Very old sunbeds, wooden, carnations stick out in some places. I haven't seen these anywhere else. For some reason, foreigners are given glass wine glasses, and we always drank from plastic. In general, everything was super, we had a great rest, we tanned beautifully. Every evening there was a disco, and whether you go dancing or not is the choice of everyone. A very relaxing holiday. Who is going after what. . .

If it seems to them that you take a lot, they can come up and say STOP TAKE! 7) to drink tea, coffee or alcohol during lunch and dinner, you need to leave the dining room and go to the bar located nearby 8) in the bar there is only local alcohol and fruits that you can buy for money 9) old dirty rooms with mosquitoes, ants and bed fleas (such rooms are for Russians) 10) they don’t put drinking water in the room (if you want to drink, go to a bar or go to the market, buy a bottle and drink) 11) a dirty pool that no one washes, and if they do, then in the morning when people swim there 12) transit tourists in the pool wash their hands when they go from dinner and their feet are right in their shoes !! ! 13) for foreigners who lived with us in this hotel, the rooms and attitude are better. 14) who DOES NOT BELIEVE come and feel everything for yourself!! ! my job is to warn you!! ! and whoever writes that they liked it super at the hotel, I don’t understand these people............

Family friendly hotel. There are no discos, fuss and drunken showdowns. Here is wildlife, the sound of the sea, the Sinai wind and the singing of birds in the morning. Territory well maintained, very clean. In the evenings, a lot of ground lamps light up, beautiful and touching. The food is very decent: a daily meat dish, fish is a must, a wide variety of vegetables and, as usual, an oriental dessert.

The food is very decent: a daily meat dish, fish is a must, a wide variety of vegetables and, as usual, an oriental dessert. Fruit was not enough - oranges, dates, melon. They said it's out of season. The rooms are clean and spacious. Changed linen every day, cleaned clean. They just didn’t give shower gel, it’s good that they took their little one. This is a minus. Pros: large sandy beach, no problems with sunbeds and beach towels, always available. On the beach, the bartender Said does not let you get bored - a cheerful and at the same time respectful guy. The bar has cold beer, gin - sprite, whiskey and cola, cognac, vodka. In the evening we were entertained by the merry fellow Chico. The bar at the restaurant is open free of charge until 22:00. Nuweiba - 67 km. from the border with Israel. Convenient for excursions. We liked it, we will definitely return to the hotel again.

Hello future travelers! ! I would like to share my impressions about this place. I would call it the economy option. First, let me explain how I got here. There were severe frosts at home and it so happened that there was free time that had to be filled with something. So my husband and I rushed on a last-minute ticket to the Red Sea coast.

Hello future travelers! ! I would like to share my impressions about this place. I would call it the economy option. First, let me explain how I got here. There were severe frosts at home and it so happened that there was free time that had to be filled with something. So my husband and I rushed on a last-minute ticket to the Red Sea coast. We were not the first time in Egypt. We arrived late in the evening and settled in a rather modest room, but clean and quiet. Cleaning in the room is not so hot for 3-ku, so no tip was given. For some time there were problems with water, very poor pressure, the water was barely warm or boiling water. After 2 days of going to the reception, we still got the water supply. As for food, food is present, you will not be hungry, but its quality and variety leaves much to be desired. Even laudatory pastries in the hotel turned out to be 2-3 types. The fruits were oranges and dry grapefruits. In the evening we decided to drink wine - firstly, it is for a fee, and secondly, I will not say that it delighted me. Meal time is strictly on time, if you want to have a bite, you will not find it anywhere else. Many vacationers were tormented by mosquitoes, it didn’t even help, then the stink that fumigated the territory in the evening. What deserves attention is the place where the hotel is located, very beautiful mountains, amazing sea, long beaches. The underwater world is bright, beautiful and fascinating. There is no animation at the hotel, only having learned the price from the hotel guide for an excursion, we were glad a hundred times that we booked a trip at home via the Internet in an Egyptian company whose services we had already used on a previous trip. A company with the appropriate name Excursions in Egypt, here is their website ekskyrsiivegipte. com. we went to Jordan, we wanted to go there for a long time, we read a lot about the ancient city of Petra. Unforgettable impressions from a beautiful place, the hotel does not correspond to its star rating, but if you go specifically for trips to Israel and Jordan, then this is a very suitable place. If you want more, go to other hotels.

Good afternoon! I appeal to tourists who were not in this hotel in the first place, this hotel fully corresponds to its star rating, 1 line, beach strip length 1 km, large area, comfortable, sandy entry into the sea, live corals, standard room, which has everything you need, helpful staff, secondly, the food can be monotonous, but the food is cooked perfectly, no poisoning, everything is delicious, and a huge plus, no queues for food, no search for a free table in the dining room, because there are few tourists , which is, for me, at least one of the significant pluses; thirdly, I read reviews of tourists on other sites, I am amazed at the wild surprise about a separate fee for wine, this information is posted on all sites - wine is not included in the all-inclusive system at this hotel, rooms are cleaned normally, unless you, of course, do not bring tons of sand from the beach on your feet.

In relation to us, judging by the reviews on other sites and not only to us, the hotel staff behaved just fine - they wanted a fish on the grill, please, pizza, 5 minutes and you're done, the bartender even prepared tiramisu, of course, for a fee, but this is solely at our request, when we had a desire to drink alcohol in glass glasses, we drank from glass, and not from plastic cups, although this is not particularly practiced, but where did you see in Egypt that alcohol is all-inclusive in glass poured? In any place, as well as in people, if you wish, you can always find flaws, try to be positive, you are going to rest. Someone writes that this is an economy class hotel, I’ll tell you this, if you want something special, go to good fives, sevens, eights, and if you eat on a hot tour, and even to hotels of a category that doesn’t suit you, be prepared for the absence of lobsters on the menu , marbled beef and exclusive pastries! Moreover, the hotel has a good sauna with a jacuzzi and a hammam. Regarding the animation, the hotel has two animators, wonderful boys, we still communicate with them, a separate respect to the bartender Said. Happy holidays everyone!

Animation - 2 young people - Chico and Lulu, who are trying very hard, any music to choose from during the dance, the bartender Said is just gold, the guide Mohamed is trying to help in everything. We traveled with a company of 5 people, everyone was very cheerful, so our vacation went off with a bang, and whoever writes that it's boring doesn't know how to have fun. By the way, who will go to the hotel give them a huge hello from Saratov! Moreover, the masseur Mido, he keeps a bathhouse there, just fine. I highly recommend the hotel both for a relaxing holiday and for fun, if, of course, you know how to have fun, and not wait for the skits to be shown to you! The food is maximally adapted to Russian, meat, liver, liver, chicken, fish, but monotonous, but tasty, more than enough, and there are a lot of empty tables in the restaurant.

Good day everyone! I was on vacation with my husband and I hasten to share my impressions! 4th time in Egypt. On the first day, a restless mind begins to compare past hotels, and not in favor of Helnan. I'll start with nutrition: The food itself is edible, it is enough to satisfy hunger, but there is no need to talk about diversity.

Good day everyone! I was on vacation with my husband and I hasten to share my impressions! 4th time in Egypt.
On the first day, a restless mind begins to compare past hotels, and not in favor of Helnan.
I'll start with nutrition: The food itself is edible, it is enough to satisfy hunger, but there is no need to talk about diversity. 5 containers for hot, and several types of salad, 1-2 types of pastries (rarely delicious), fruits - oranges (sometimes not fodder) and astringent dates. Wine is paid. They feed 3 times, there are no snacks anywhere! Fruit bought in the market (to go to the right of the hotel). For those who love to gluttonous thing! Dependence on food by the end of the rest falls thoroughly, which is extremely beneficial for our body! So I appreciated the fat plus in nutrition, especially in relation to my husband!
The room is beautiful for 5, closer to dinner the water pressure drops, but by the evening everything is restored. In order not to disturb mosquitoes, you need to close the damper from the fan in the toilet from the street every evening. Many did not know this. They didn't tip the cleaners, they didn't deserve it.
The nature is amazingly wild, and the Sinai mountains, and the mountains of Saudi Arabia, which were visible at dawn and hidden in the daytime haze, and deserted beaches were appreciated. At sunset, crabs crawled out along the beach like cockroaches, and in the mornings on the shore one could observe the remains of their night hunting: half-eaten fish, squids. You can dive on the pier, just don't touch the lionfish (they will paralyze! ).
And the most important thing! because of what I recommend to go to this hotel - it's CORAL GARDENS!!! ! They are not near the shore, so buy fins (they cost about 8 dollars there, they took them in Nuweiba). Nearby in the BAZAR store and charges up to 26, a mask with a snorkel cost us $ 10. All salespeople are very friendly and not intrusive.
I had to overcome many fears in order to swim out into the open sea, swim across the abyss, but as a reward, the Red Sea generously shared its beauties (I have never seen such a miracle in any coral reserve! . So much adrenaline! The farther from the coast, the larger and more exotic the fish and the coral gardens are magnificent!
There are no guards and buoys anywhere, so swim wherever you want, you can walk along the coast unlimitedly far!
As we understood, the hotel serves as a transshipment base for pilgrims, so there is no animation in it, etc. Whom we just didn’t see: Indians, Kenyans, Englishmen, our nuns in black! The main guests were about 10 Germans and 20 Russians. Apparently, because of the wild conditions, we all became friends and lived like one family, like in a pioneer camp! It was very fun and heartfelt! Our joy knew no bounds when, on the fourth blissful day, animators were sent to us, morning stretching, aqua aerobics, belly dancing and a lot of music began, especially on the beach, thanks to the bartender Said! I do not know how long these animators arrived, given that before our arrival they were not in sight!!! ! So Helnan received us very sincerely, and we spent unforgettable days in this hotel!
