We rested in May 2009 with my wife and child. We chose the albatross pelas, because we used to rest in the neighborhood in the albatross aqua blue and its construction took place before our eyes. The ticket was taken through the tour. As I understand it, in Ukraine, tours to this hotel all go through the tour. There are no questions to the operator - a monster in one word. We were in Egypt for the fourth time, and all the time through the same tour. Special thanks to the Kiev agency Daria tour for professionalism and good discounts. We received a Tec Tour phone card with 20 euros in the account as a bonus. We flew with Dniproavia: everything was great, only we flew bypassing Turkey through Greece, Montenegro, Bulgaria. Four and a half hours.
About the hotel. fully justifies the name - really a palace. For 100 pounds I was given a room overlooking the pool on the first floor with a promise to be moved to the second floor tomorrow morning. But, having forgotten the electronic keys in the room and accidentally slamming the balcony, we decided that the first floor was good. The rooms are excellent: everything is clean, digital safe is free, all kinds of shampoos, caps, napkins, envelopes, liquid soap... Someone writes about the lack of bathrobes, but I would like to see this penguin in a terry bathrobe in the Egyptian climate. They feed excellent. Four restaurants with a common terrace, a cafe with excellent coffee and mango juices, guava, etc. from packages. All sorts of beer-pizza-potatoes were everywhere and a lot. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of local wines. I got hooked on huge shrimp with different sauces and squid. In the Chinese restaurant, the food is spicy, sometimes teary. We went through all the restaurants, and settled on Moroccan. There is excellent grilled meat, spicy soups, shrimp pies... They often met there. I ate my fill at dinner, then went to a late dinner for sweets. Food can be collected and dragged to the room, then the plates can be put on a special table in the corridor.
A pontoon was laid in the sea. Thus solving the problem of walking on stones. The sea is cool because it is red.

Swimming pools for every taste and age. Children's small and heated. My daughter disappeared there for a long time. There is an adult pool with non activ area signs. There is just a huge pool with a bar. Another adult heated pool and jacuzzi. Water slides at nearby Albatros Beach. There are only two of them, but they are cool.
Evening shows were cool: what other hotels show in clubs for money - here it was free: cobra shows, jugglers, oriental dances, etc.
The hotel staff is well-trained and tactful, do not get into the soul, keep their distance. And the elementary "salaam alaikum", "shokoran", "Kosnei Mubarak forever" and the like generally make life easier. Tours and spa services are offered along the beach and around the pool - it’s worth politely refusing once and they leave without any problems. In general, I did spa procedures across the road in aqua vitsa. There you can negotiate almost twice the price. My daughter had nowhere to go while my wife and I were doing programs, and she was taken to the jacuzzi, hammam completely free of charge, they made her a scrub and gave her fresh juice. In general, cool, I do not see any shortcomings. I can give the phone of a boarding house with houses on the Sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bAzov to everyone who is dissatisfied with this hotel.
