Думаю, отель переоценен отзывами I think the hotel is overrated

I was at the hotel at the beginning of November 2019. I decided to change the calm Charm for new experiences in Dahab. The hotel did not conquer anything, the Egyptian standard set, but there are some points that I think will help you in understanding the rest in this hotel and Dahab itself.
Now, in order: I was on a school vacation tour with my son, so I got into the high season for prices - a four in Dahab at the price of a good five in Sharm, more than 500 USD. per person. I think in a calm mode, if you choose this hotel, then according to the criterion of economy, this is 300 USD. +.
In general, all hotels in this region must be considered in relation to the features of the city itself and the bright places in its environs. There are three outstanding places here, these are: the Blue Hole (a place of pilgrimage for freedivers), the Lagoon (the territory of surfers and caterers) and Dahab itself, as a colorful Arab village. After a month of studying geography and tourist reviews, I settled on Tropitel mainly because of its location halfway between the city and the Blue Hole. It's about 3 km to the hole and 5 km to the city, as I love snorkeling and diving. And now structurally in order.

1. LOCATION: a small classic four, which is located in a two-story horseshoe between the road and the sea. In the center of the hotel there is a fairly good and deep pool, well-groomed greenery and beautiful panoramic views of both the mountains behind the hotel and the sea itself. rubbish and just rubbish along the coast line. There is no gloss and Sharma promenade, plastic waste, roaming camels, poverty of local residents. In general, this is the plus of the hotel for lovers of a relaxing holiday, and the lack of infrastructure nearby leaves the coral reef untouched, stretching indefinitely away from the hotel. The hotel itself is in measure old, the rooms are quite comfortable and cozy. The wind is quite strong, warm, lateral to the hotel, I didn’t feel any discomfort from it, on the contrary, it was perceived as a pleasant breeze that blows off the flies.
2. SERVICE: there are no comments at all on the service, the guys value their workplace, and regardless of the thanks of the tourists, they work out excellently in their place. We had an early check-in, about 6 in the morning, the hotelier immediately offered a choice of instant check-in with a surcharge of about 36 euros for breakfast and early check-in, we refused and went to swim and relax without bracelets, at 12 we were settled with an increased category with a sea view without surcharges, according to the availability of good places. Therefore, I see no reason for reproaches or claims of corruption - the choice is yours, everything is according to the protocol. The bartender does not swear and pours what is ordered with dignity and respect, the beachboys give out towels and keep order on the water, the waiters fly like flies and clean the plates and bring drinks.
3. HOLIDAYERS: according to the contingent in my race, these are about 60-70% Egyptians, couples, or men's companies (I think the military is on vacation) or schoolchildren from big cities for the weekend. 20% Germans, Poles, Baltics, and about 20% "brothers" - Slovenes, Ukrainians and Russians. I want to pay respect to the Arabs as intelligent, non-drinking and calm people, women on the beach only in completely closed bathing suits, at dinners and during the day in scarves and traditional clothes. As mentioned in other reviews, there are not so many professional divers here, I think about 10.15% of the entire audience and determined by the wetsuits drying on the balconies. . These people are phantoms that can be seen at early breakfast and dinner. Bracelets are divided into green, white, gold, depending on the service package and country of origin. "Golden" saw only the Germans. But in relation to tourists, I did not notice any discrimination.
4. FOOD without frills, classical, high-quality, Egyptian. Here you will not see long Turkish shelves with dishes, everything is essentially as balanced as possible: meat, fish, vegetables, sweets, drinks. By the end of the tour, of course, everything is already boring, but there were no poisonings, as well as half-eaten plates. The hotel is mainly designed for breakfast and dinner.

5. BEACH: in my opinion generally problematic. There is no entry into the water at all, only from the pantone. A wide line of large stones makes it impossible to enter from the shore, and the remnants of algae on the tide line attract midges and mosquitoes. Saves only the wind from living creatures. The beach itself is sandy, about 100 meters long. Lonely, independent camels sometimes pass along the line of the beach.
6. OVERALL IMPRESSION: There is no particular desire to return to this hotel. Everything is decent, simple, calm. I chose it as an alternative to kitsch, show-offs and the drunken party of most Sharm hotels. In principle, this has been achieved. Excellent reef snorkeling for amateurs, the exotic of the simple life of the indigenous people, beautiful and high-quality places for activities. After a full study of the region, I want to say that I would choose a better hotel (these are about 3 good hotels one to one) in Laguna - there is a gorgeous sandy beach, proximity to the city, proximity to reefs and activities on the water under the wind. If you are a professional diver, it is better in general, tune in to independent apartments and spend the budget not on service, but on paying for the rental of equipment and instructors.
