We were at the end of April 2012. The second time in Coral, the first - in 2008. There will be many letters : )
Summary: We liked it. But we knew where we were going, why we were set to positive.
The hotel will appeal to lovers of: one-story rooms, coral reefs and calm evening walks
Upset: Disco fans, gastronomic gourmets
The hotel is very specific, the level of services is very uneven:
"+" numbers; large green area; part of the corals - all this is beyond praise,
"-" restaurant-canteen; entertainment; some problems of the beach - sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes unpleasant.
In general, much has been written in previous reports, so I add a little extra. information from myself:
1. Settlement/county:
number: well, we got number 41**, very very good. There are rooms and 5 ** - near the Children's Club (about a dozen rooms) - no one seems to have written about them. These rooms are different from all the others - there is only one entrance, through the terrace, the partitions between them are low, and besides, an external air conditioner unit is installed on the terrace - it makes quite a lot of noise.
Luggage: the reception will issue a self-adhesive sticker for each luggage (your number is indicated on it)... stick it on your luggage and calmly go to your room to rest. No need to wait, luggage will be brought later.
luggage packing on departure: A classic Egyptian dish for the Slavs… Hall…“Are you leaving? I will pack your luggage for you for 5 dollars. At the airport they take 10. . . Honest eyes. . . In fact, at the airport - also 5 and pack a little better. Well, it didn’t help us much - during the baggage claim, the packing film was half torn off, we dug around, but didn’t take anything.
"mandatory" meeting with the guide: the guide Mr. Walid (Tez Tour) was very upset. A person is so preoccupied with pushing excursions that he loses control of himself. As soon as I received the answer "Thanks for the information, we'll think about it" - he immediately turned to rudeness and arrogance. More pleasant is his colleague - Mukhamed - a cultured and well-mannered person.
2. Supermarket (Senzo Mall) - food, shops (clothes, shoes - European) - no Egyptian souvenirs.
Directions: We are in a taxi -3 dollars one way. Go out onto the road, on the right in the “pocket” there are usually 2 taxis, bargain, you can also catch a minibus there. From the reception, a taxi is 2 times more expensive.
Prices (course 6 Egyptian pounds (LE) = 1 US dollar (USD)):
apples (kg. ) - 9 Egyptian pounds (LE) u003.1. 5 dollars
mango (kg. ) - 40 LE = 6.7 dollars.
strawberries (kg. ) - 7.5 LE u003.1. 5 dollars
dried dates (kg. ) - 20 LE = 3.4 dollars
melon (kg. ) - 4 LE u003.0. 7 dollars
yogurt (110 grm) - 1.4 LE = 0.24 dollars
juices (1 liter) - 5.75 LE = 0.96 dollars
3. Beach:
Free places: there were no problems until 8-30 in the morning, then everything. The partitions are moved, the sunbeds are booked by Ours - there are towels, there are no people. The problem is solved like this - approach the beach attendants (white t-shirts, beach towels) - they will arrange places for you themselves, this is their job. There were empty seats after lunch.
4. Restaurant = "canteen"
The problem of free tables: The waiters work quickly, but the area of u200bu200bthe "canteen" is small. Tips will help. Each waiter serves a certain sector in the hall. Choose convenient for you. Thanks for the service and you will be happy.
Show "Fight for the Melon": For breakfast, if you sit at the end of the hall in the most uncomfortable first row of tables (to the distributing line), you can watch the show... From time to time they take out a melon... And it turns out that it has a magical effect on Ours... I don’t know how people understand that it's TIME... or constant monitoring, or maybe by smell : )... But the fact is that after 10 seconds a queue begins to form... At the beginning, everything is normal and decent... Then the nerves can not stand it, the queue is crushed, the trough with a melon is surrounded and taken by storm... A spectacle comically sad. . . The show is repeated with every melon takeaway - don't miss it.
Fresh = from 3 dollars. - normal, ice cream, 1 ball = 1 dollar. - I don't recommend it.
5. Theft.
Yes, yes... They pulled a camera, a simple one, it costs $ 100. But you understand how sad it is - all the photos are gone. It would be better if this bastard stole money. I can’t say exactly where they stole it: the beach or the room. More comfortable in the room. We do not think about our cleaner, it seems that the scale of the problem is working throughout the hotel. In general, be very careful.
6. Corals and Sea Trip (for snorkelers).
Corals: Brighter after lunch. Clambered almost everything. For 4 years, the changes are significant, for the worse of course. Look at the map with areas.
Plot 1 - dead, 4th - poor. Between 2 and 3 there is a shipping route - be careful.
Plots 2.3 - a sharp descent into the depths, the coral is alive.
Section 3: End of section at the transition to an underwater artificial jetty - often in the evening there is a Blue-spotted stingray, sometimes one, sometimes two. We must be careful - one went to attack us. A large and wary Leopard Grouper has also been spotted.
4th: before lunch under the pontoon a flock of Whistlefish, single Squids were seen. After lunch, there is Synapta spotted - gloomy and long worms of three or four meters. Dangerous ones appear - not to touch, but very beautiful, Zebra Lionfish and Keel Lionfish. I saw a snake (yellow-black, about one meter long) in the 3rd and 4th sections.
5th site: removed live coral. The descent into the depth is not sharp, stepped. After dinner - Fish whistles, flocks of small Barracudas, a couple of large Fugu (Prickly Arotron). You have to be prepared: far away, a big wave with the wind, and it was a bit dumb there alone.
Sea Trip: It makes sense to buy a beach trip, 4 in one. They promise 4 places: Paradise beach = Paradise, 3 parking lots for swimming. Departure 8-30, arrival 16, lunch on the ship. In fact, it is - only departure at 9, arrival at 15. They sell for 40 dollars, they sold for 35 dollars. from a person. There are 10-15 people on the boat. It takes about an hour to walk to the beach (the tip of Big Gifton Island) from the hotel, 3 stops for snorkeling - between Big and Small Gifton. The beach is a nonsense occupation - clean sand without a shadow, people from 20-30 boats, coral - deadly poor.
1st stop - average coral. 2nd stop - beautiful coral, very impressive Hickson Fan Coral. There is a strong current - one German was carried away and was picked up on a boat by sellers of beer and ice cream. 3rd parking lot is the best. The so-called Murenovaya. We saw two Giant moray eels, a Napoleon fish, so 1.5 meters in length. Each stop is approximately 30-40 minutes. Not enough, the beach must be thrown out and added 15 minutes for swimming.
Good luck to everyone and enjoy your holiday.
