Hi all! Vacationing in Egypt for the first time. We read reviews for a long time and finally settled on Coral Beach. A lot of impressions! Let's start in order:
1. The sea is super, clean, beautiful, warm, the beach is huge (constantly cleaned by hotel workers) for every taste, there is a nudist beach, remote from the general beach and equipped with huts where you can safely sunbathe and not disturb anyone, there is sandy with a flat , a smooth entrance to the sea, for those who are not very good at swimming, there is a coral reef for snorkellers.
2. Accommodation - we arrived at the hotel at 9 am already at 11 received the keys to room 2402, which is located near the administrative building (a small problem: the room is located near the construction site, although this did not bother us because we did not hear it at all). The room is hefty: 2 huge beds + 1 sofa, a TV with 2 Russian channels, a safe, a refrigerator with a bottle of water every day, a terrace with a table and an armchair.

3. Service - everything at the level of 4 is not super, but quite normal, everything is done on demand. Most of the staff understand Russian. At the reception there is a Russian girl Tanya who can be contacted with any request and will always help. An Arab called Zozo works in the billiard room, a cool guy, if you make friends with him, you can constantly come to play billiards.
4. Excursions - I advise you to buy the main ones from guides, let it be a little more expensive, but there will not be any scam. The guide Marmalade works on the beach, a cool kid, speaks Russian very well, sells excursions to the Motto Safari, you can bargain with him.
5. Food - good, varied, every day a new national cuisine. Fruits: watermelons, melons, pears, dates, guavas - skunks, oranges. Sweets, of course, are amazing, I have never tasted anything tastier. Drinks any but all local production. Whiskey, rum and brandy are not worse than our cognacs that are sold in stores. Ice cream is served 1 hour a day.
6. Animation - 2 girls from Kharkov work in the hotel, Anya and Marina, well done, they worked to the fullest, during the day they entertained everyone on the beach (bocha, volleyball, gymnastics and various other fun things), in the evening they staged amazing shows - programs. The DJ, however, LOH, constantly lost his way or put on very loud music.
7. The territory is large because of this, it seems that there are almost no people in the hotel, you understand that they are only for dinner or for animation. There are few Russians, mostly Italians, Germans and Czechs.
In general, I want to say that the hotel is a solid 4. For a calm, balanced holiday. I advise you to go. Rest were very satisfied.
