Well, what. Let's start in order. There were two couples without children, we left them at home for now. FROM THE MID OF JANUARY TO THE MID OF MARCH, THE WATER IS COOL (19-20gr) AND THE COOL WIND BLOWS. It’s cold to enter the water, very cold, but then you get used to it and you can swim and dive normally.
Hotel.
As usual in Egyptian hotels, for the sake of order, we looked at what was first offered. The wives returned swearing, but $ 10 did their job and we were settled on the third floor in the 2nd building overlooking the sea. The rooms resemble the apartments of lonely old women, in which there are not enough male hands. There the putty has fallen off, the paint is a little peeling there, the furniture is old, BUT it is clean, tidy and the furniture is not falling apart! The TV has only 2 Arabic channels! There is no Russian. But we didn't even have time to watch it : ).
These are all shortcomings, the rest is only positive. In general, the hotel needs a major overhaul.
The best building 2, the best rooms with sea views on the 3rd floor of each building.
From the 2nd floor of the sea is no longer visible. The service is excellent, but this is probably due to the fact that at that time the owner was in the hotel - a 92-year-old man. Always attended dinner. The senior in the building asked every morning if it was necessary to clean and change towels. Therefore, there were no problems with cleaning. We didn’t lose anything, but we also hid valuable things under lock and key in a suitcase. You can carry water, food as much as you like, they don’t even check what you are carrying. We even carried it in our hands.
The pool is not heated, so the water in the pool was colder than the sea. From the hotel buildings to the pool and restaurant 150m, to the sea about 300m. Aleyka goes to the sea between two lakes. The area is very large and green. On the beach you can play volleyball, take the ball in the same place as towels. On the territory you can drive football.
On the beach, sea, food, I completely agree with the previous review. There were only napkins. And about diversity. Just a lot.
Therefore, if each time you take something else, you won’t get bored.
Everything nearby.
On the first day, go to the beach. On the other, go to the center, look at the prices. It is better to go in the morning when they are still sleepy. Less pestering and fewer street vendors. In the evening, you can walk around the hotel and bargain until it stops. If the price is higher than in the center, say: give it back cheaper, we'll take it, if not, feel free to turn around and leave. Buy in another similar shop nearby or on the last day, go to the center on the penultimate day. When boarding a bus or minibus, ask the price. The fare should be 1 pound per person. Asking for more, just don't sit down. The next one will be in 2 minutes. Taxi to the center from the hotel 12-15 pounds.
Opposite the hotel there is a souvenir shop (Angel Souvenir-2), immediately to the left of the OHOD tour, we hung out there almost every evening. They drank tea, hibiscus, smoked a hookah. Sellers, Egyptian Christians. By the way, it is Christians who mostly keep the stores.
Don't be afraid, come in, send greetings from Poltava, and whatever you like, they will sell at prices lower than the rest. If not, then say so, but it's cheaper there and we'll buy it there. This rule applies to all stores. Do not be afraid to make acquaintances and you will learn a lot of interesting things.
Excursions.
We took from the guide. TEZ-tour, by the way. Everything was very well organised. Both receiving and sending. I liked the excursion to Luxor very much, but not very much by the sea. What lured you to take from him - the fact that honey. insurance is valid. If you take it on the street, ask if there is insurance and ask for confirmation on paper. Although, if you think about it, then risking your health for $ 10 is reluctant. In general, the choice is yours. All's well that ends well. Do not take a sea excursion with fishing and oriental dancing. These are for tourists. Take an excursion just to the coral islands. You need to know how to swim with a mask and snorkel.
Buy them for 25 pounds and start swimming by the beach for practice.
