В общем неплохо In general, not bad

Tour operator - Intourist.
We rested with my wife and 5-year-old child in May 2009. Ali Baba is sometimes rated as 5 stars, but they themselves rate 4 stars and this corresponds to Egyptian standards.
After arriving at 12 noon, we were settled in Aladdin instead of Ali Baba. When they found out about this, they went to the reception to swear, they said that there were no rooms right today, but the next day they promised to change them with a sea view. They did, indeed, the next day we were moved to the main alley overlooking the sea on the 2nd floor. Number 5950 is good in principle, but you can get even closer to the sea 5954-5958. The next day In the evening, we approached our curator at the hotel from Intourist, talked with him with the hotel manager and received compensation for moral damage - a fruit basket in the room and a good free excursion on a yacht with fishing and coral islands. Intourist is really good at solving problems. There are no complaints about the tour operator.

The rooms themselves in Ali Baba, in principle, are all good, they differ only in their distance from the sea and from restaurants (if close to the sea, then it’s far from restaurants and vice versa), just don’t take rooms near the construction site, it’s to the right of the pool if you stand with your back to the reception. Cleaned in the rooms quite tolerably.
You can use the infrastructure of 3 hotels Jasmine, Aladin and Ali Baba. The territory is huge. For 2 weeks, we didn’t go around and didn’t know everything. Surprises are different, for example, in some hotels for all-inclusive beer only from kegs (water with water), in jasmine there was Stela bottled beer (very good). On the beaches during the day they feed in bars, modestly, but cleanly.
Service and cleaning restaurants suck. Tables are not cleaned to the last. The waiters are arrogant, although, as elsewhere, there are some good people. You won't wait for waiters. That's why we didn't give Baksheesh, because. given for quality. . .
The food in the restaurants is varied, so they could not immediately understand why the problems with the stomachs. And they were. Adhere to the principle - hot is never raw, eat only what is cooked in front of you - pizza, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and then there will be no health problems.
In the city, a minibus is 3 pounds for one to Sakkala, a taxi is 25 pounds for everyone. The pound was at the rate of 5.6 dollars. There is a Karkusha cotton house in Sakkala, everything is not expensive there. Any product can be bargained at very pleasant prices, with the exception of handmade goods. Masters of chasing and carpet weavers value their work there.
We basically did not take excursions by land, because. hot and exhausting with a baby. We only took a Supersafari 6 hours on quad bikes, I liked the tour, but if you are traveling with a child, be prepared that there are no roads in the desert, you can shake your whole soul on bumps when driving slowly. So with the kids
better not to drive.

The sea is amazing, if you do not take diving, consider losing 80% of the wonderful impressions of Egypt. Diving is great. They took it across the road, at the excursion center at the reception desk of the Titanic Aqua Park hotel. Russian-speaking instructors take care of you as the dearest guest, in general, everything is fine, special thanks to Mohammed from the Aquascope company at the reception of the Titanic hotel, who organized essentially the entire excursion program for us with excellent quality and at reasonable prices. Diving is almost 2 times cheaper than tour operators and the diving center of Ali Baba (Black Sharks).
Another tip, it's better to go to the Titanic Aquapark. Although it is across the road, it has a free water park, a free bus to Ali Baba beach. While living in the Titanic, you can use the Water Park and the infrastructure of the Titanic, Ali Baba, Jasmine and Aladin, and if you do not live in the Titanic, then the water park is paid - for 1 time 35 bucks and the infrastructure of the Titanic cannot be used. The Titanic has good rooms and good food.
