Vacationing with family and friends. Tour operator - Intourist, flew Transaero. There are no complaints about the operator - they met, saw off, my friend took a tour to Jerusalem from them, he seems to be also satisfied. The flight was a good spacious airplane Boing 747-300, the flight was transferred there well in the evening, we flew back at night - it’s hard, of course, especially with a child, the flight was not delayed, we were even pushed back early. I asked for a room with a sea view, they gave it without any problems in building B. The hotel is frankly old, but the rooms are spacious, 2nd, 3rd floors with balconies, 1st floor terrace, furniture from the 80s, plumbing is more or less new, there is a bath, the toilet is rather weak, you need to flush it 2-3 times, they don’t give soap and water accessories. In building B, the safe in the rooms did not work, I didn’t ask anyone, at the reception the safe was free of charge without any problems. The air conditioning was on / off, but powerful. Electricity is turned on by a card, which is replaced by a card from a towel or a more or less thick piece of paper, so you can leave the phone for charging or the air conditioner for blowing out when leaving the room. TV - one Russian-language channel. Water and lemonade are added to the refrigerator every day. The territory is huge and quite green. The beach is large for every taste, sunbeds are always in abundance, you should not run and borrow in the morning. There is quite a decent coral in the Marina, there are a lot of fish, turtles, squids and other variety swim up in the afternoon. Toward evening, you need to be more careful, I saw a lionfish - I haven’t experienced such fear for a long time. The pool is huge with salt water, there are not enough sunbeds by the main pool, I recommend going to Belair there is a fresh pool, besides, in the evening the hotel buildings block it from the sun. Animation during the day at the main pool, but it is, to put it mildly, unobtrusive. Breakfast every day is the same, lunch and dinner with a grill will be more varied. There is an Italian restaurant for money, almost always empty. Dinner by the pool accompanied by live music. During the day you can have a bite to eat in the bars. Soluble powder juices, any lemonade is full - expanse for children. Alcohol in local bars, I don’t recommend drinking pure, but the composition of cocktails is quite tolerable. You can drink beer only in the lobby bar, they pour it from bottles, in other bars it looks like they body it from barrels with a sprite. On the second floor of the lobby there is a billiards table, there are no queues for it in the evenings, there are a lot of tables. There is also a bar there. Animation evening for an amateur. Disco as you get there, it used to be quite fun. Admission to nearby Calabush is £.100. I recommend that you go to the restaurant Bordein in the evening, you leave the hotel and go left to the Ali Baba Bazaar, the hookah is the most luxurious there, the bars in the hotel are so-so. The composition of vacationers is 60 percent Germans, the rest are ours and Eastern Europeans. In general, a normal Egyptian 4-ka.
