We arrived at 8 am, at the reception we were sent to breakfast wearing bracelets, after which we were settled in 20-30 minutes later. We didn’t pay anything extra for the room and we got an excellent room, but the furniture was a little worn in places, but everything worked for us, all the furniture was intact. There was cleaning in the room, but by the end of the rest I noticed a decent layer of dust on the sink, well, as I understand it, the bed was corrected, the table was put in order, the floor was washed and enough) well, by the way, we folded something from a towel every day, changed them each day, then flowers, then swans, then hearts, and we did not leave $ for them to be spun to us, as friends did in other hotels. By the way, mostly Belarusians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Germans, Poles, Czechs, Russians for 10 days we did not find, but there are a lot of fellow Belarusians, as we are affectionately called by local sellers-bulbashi))
As for the guide Emad, we are satisfied with his work, we were also advised in a nearby store to take a tour to the right of the hotel, they say it’s cheaper and the anex tour fools you, but we decided that in an unfamiliar country, with a culture unfamiliar to us, we would not risk it and take at the tour operator, although judging by the price list of this store, we overpaid the anex tour for $ 40 for two for 2 excursions, well, we thought to hell with him, but you will be sure that they will not tell you later to pay extra for this or for that)) The guide masad accompanying us or bogdanchik)) from the anex tour, he was just a handsome man, he accompanied us when we went to the paradise island and to Luxor, the stand-up comedian was direct and, as a historian, told very interestingly.
As for food, we didn’t remain hungry, of course I would like more seafood, and not just fish))) breakfasts are monotonous, well, we didn’t pile a mountain of everything at once, but tried a little bit, lunches, dinners varied. Well, pastries, cakes, it’s just you lick your fingers, they put a lot of sweets for dinner. Well, after this, how not to bring a couple of extra pounds on yourself. The waiter has one cool Ahmed, well, such a sweetheart, always neat, smells delicious, will help bring coffee / tea / wine. The plates are removed instantly, they just ate from putting the plate right there they come to take it away. As for the drinks Vodka, theirs is certainly terrible. She is diluted because she broke her knee on the beach and took vodka "at the bottom" to cauterize the wound)))) so she didn’t even pinch the wound. Well, alcoholic cocktails are a quiet horror, it is impossible to drink them. In general, I liked beer, red wine and bottled drinks, "juice" is yupi, but in the heat you can cool off. I liked the water park especially the blue slide, to leave it on a tubing, the first time I went down from it I thought I would die there from fear) but - the hotel is that there are few tubings. The lifeguard even once took away from me that there was a tubing by the pool, because the Arabs on vacation complained that I ride them a lot, although I only moved out a couple of times. Well, it was unpleasant, but it didn't spoil my vacation. The sun loungers by the sea are good, and thanks to the wicker wall, the wind is not terrible. We entered the sea from the ramp, and in order to swim during the day, we had to go behind the buoys. And on a separate path, because there are corals around. Animation was not seen or heard, on the first day they were invited to the event and then the animators were not visible. But I don’t argue for children, and they set up inflatable slides and entertained Pikachu, they didn’t particularly follow them. Well, in the evenings, the music was blaring, there were some discos, but we didn’t go there, a guy came on the guitar a couple of times and played despasito and so on, but it was very cold and I listened to music in the hall.

We became friends with Antoshka, the seller of bags, although there was someone to talk to to learn the culture, their customs. Very cool guy! And I don’t advise you to go to sellers of oils. Prices for oil are beaten, be healthy. And finally, as for wifi, it is at the reception, but it’s rather weak, of course, but it was enough for me to go to VK to check my mail, on Instagram and in Viber to write to my relatives that they are alive and healthy and throw off photos. Well, we came to rest, and not to sit on the Internet! ) We were given a sim with the remaining traffic, but there was very little of it left and we went to the store in the hotel to find out how much the new SIM card would cost and they wanted to get us 1.5GB for $ 10, and when we asked how we can top up the balance on sim traffic, we were told that etisalat is shit, and vodafone is cool, take vodafone. To which I told them that for that kind of money you can put this sim in one place for me and wifi is enough.
Well, in general, I can advise this hotel with confidence.
