I can't resist commenting on some of the reviews and comments I've read.
1. Entrance to the hotel. Good people, why scare people like that, and even without explanation?!
The fact is that at present they are finishing making a new magnificent entrance to the hotel from the highway with a palm alley, green lawns, lanterns, etc. Moreover, this is outside the hotel and in no way interferes and is not felt as soon as you have entered its territory.
2. The territory is the Garden of Eden. Separate bungalows are the dream of a person weary with work and current worries. Green corners are works of art. 2 swimming pools, large tent for concerts, disco, bars. Compared to other hotels, the space is immense! And, most importantly, the hotel is far from Hurghada - there is no noise of planes, no fuss. And there is no second line of hotels, that is, there is no double influx of vacationers on your beach. A free bus goes to Hurghada three times a day (you need to sign up in advance). One trip a week was enough for us.
3. Nutrition. I don’t know what those who criticize the food in this hotel are used to eating, but if the daily presence of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, several types of cabbage, carrots, sweet onions and at least five types of vegetable salads is called the absence of vegetables, then we obviously We live in different dimensions.
Fruits: tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, melons, magnificent dates, peaches (although peaches are not tasty, but they will be born like that! ).
Hot: excellent fish, once a week they gave squid in batter, perfectly cooked chicken - several types for lunch and dinner, a variety of stewed vegetables, beef is really not always successful, harsh, but there is something to choose from - a buffet with unlimited quantity. Everything is fresh, constantly added directly from the pan. Once we arrived from Hurghada very late - at 22-15, and still had a hearty dinner.
Dessert is a feast for the sweet tooth: 4-6 different cakes daily, plus jellies, mousses, whipped cream, puddings, croissants, puffs, etc. We treat sweets calmly, but at breakfast we could not tear ourselves away from the magnificent pancakes, which are fried right on the spot for you.
Drinks: unlimited orange and pineapple type Sandora juice. We even diluted it with water (this is what some comrades called "yupi"). There is a fresh for $ 2. You order wine, beer, cola, etc. to the waiter. - everything is free.
So with food, the main problem was to resist and not overeat (I apologize for being rude). There were many children, even one-year-olds, and they all ate with pleasure - we watched.
4. Service. Never had to wait or look for a waiter. The boys unobtrusively instantly clean the tables, immediately come up, offer drinks.
The room was cleaned daily, clean, imperceptibly. Every other day we left a dollar on the bed (not because it’s customary, but because it’s a pity for them - the local population lives very poorly, cleaners have a salary of 50-60 dollars, and they support a family with this money). So our cleaner boy laid out a heart from my red towel, and a white swan, and twice brought flowers "for Madam. "
It's just that we were friendly with everyone, always greeted in Arabic, even with the lowest staff, smiled at them. Of course, when you get up from the table without noticing the waiter, you don’t say “thank you”, you consider cleaners, gardeners to be lower creatures, they feel it. The service is the same, but the energy is completely different. And they smiled at us all the time, meeting.
So if “the lady is all like that, ” then the problem is most likely in the lady.
5. Accommodation. Here you need to know a few nuances. The hotel has 4 blocks of bungalows in 4-5 lines, counting from the sea. Our number 3405 meant: 3 - block, 4 - line from the sea, 05 - bungalow number.
So, blocks 1.2 have just been repaired, they shine like a new penny. The 3rd is a little worn, but still excellent. And in the 4th, not all rooms have been renovated yet.
1st - the farthest from the reception and the main beach, but closest to the nudist beach.
2nd - excellent location and quality.
3rd close to all infrastructure and to the beach.
4th is closest to the pontoon, farthest from the center.
And so that there are no issues with the settlement, you must first go and see, because. and in the four, they say, there are excellent numbers. If there is a strong desire, you can put 10-15 dollars per person in your passport. But we did not do this and were satisfied with the settlement.
6. The rooms are different, but all are spacious. The beds are huge - we slept on one, the second did not even spread. Linen is clean and white. Own verandochka, completely isolated from neighbors. Our bathroom was very large, with a marble washbasin the size of a dining table, and a bidet built into the toilets everywhere. Safe, hair dryer, TV with 4 Russian-language channels, refrigerator, air conditioning (but we didn’t turn it on, because it was comfortable in the room, thanks to its good location, and sleeping with the open door to the terrace and fresh sea air is a pleasure).
7. Animation. To be honest, we didn’t need it - we enjoyed the peace, but the young guys are perky, they were always doing something, offering, organizing. Went to Fakir Show and Miss Coral Beach twice in the evening. Daily children's discos. Twice a week they were taken by bus to Hurghada to a big disco ($15) accompanied by animators. Our neighbor a young girl went - she liked it.
Although, of course, this hotel is not for lighters. But then it is better to stay in hotels in Hurghada itself - it will be noisy, crowded and fun. And here - a real rest-relaxation.
8. Weather. The second half of March - from a blizzard to paradise. Even when there was a strong wind, we still swam. Water - not lower than 22 degrees. Air 25-27. In the sun - higher. But thanks to the wind, the heat did not torment and it was unusually easy to breathe. We have something to compare with - we ourselves are from Odessa. But it is necessary to sunbathe carefully so as not to immediately burn and not spoil your vacation.
9. Beach, sea. Finally - about the most important thing. This is really a buzz for 5 +++. A huge beach of 1200 m. In fact, these are 5 different beaches with shallow water, and for nudists, and with an island and a pontoon for diving. Own coral reef with fish from Discovery. There is diving, but many hours of daily snorkeling was enough for us. My husband managed to dive only with big fins - the water is very salty and dense. Tried to "drown" - did not work. There is no such beach and reef in other hotels. And this is a real miracle. What you have to pay for in other hotels to go to the reefs, here it's free and delivered almost straight to your bed.
Rental: $3 mask and snorkel, $3 fins for the whole day. But we brought our own.
The only problem is the "sovdepiya" of our tourists - they will take sunbeds and sleep in their rooms. We watched several times for half a day when the owners of the towels left on the sunbeds would appear. Once they came in two hours, twice they did not appear. And people go looking for places. But we only once were left without sunbeds, and even then for 20 minutes. But once again you are convinced that our people are PIGS. Not without reason for the Arabs the pig is an unclean animal.
We were in Coral for 8 days after a 7 day Nile cruise and a trip to Cairo and Alexandria. But this is a separate big story (or fairy tale). After the excursion marathon (in the good sense of the word) rest in Coral; a true paradise for a person who loves something else in this life and someone besides himself.
I admit that a few years ago there were problems with the service, but in 2010 it is stupid to focus on reviews 2-3 years ago.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday. We will not go to any other hotel after Coral!
