The tour was from 21.10. 20 for 9 nights. The weather was perfect during the day on 28, at night 22. The flight was at night, we were at the hotel early. The bracelets were put on without delay. We went for breakfast. When we returned we were already settled in a bungalow. At the reception, they were not greedy, they put $ 20 in the passport. So, as check-in from 14:00, after a night flight with two children, we did not want to languish in anticipation in the lobby. Near the reception, we met Svetlana the hospitality, throughout the rest she helped us with communication at the hotel, prompted many moments with forgotten things, and with recommendations where to take a walk, and much more, we thanked with pleasure. We were given a one-story bungalow in sector 17 overlooking the indoor pool. Everything worked out the first time. Great location, nice room. Vacation started on a good note right away.
Meals in restaurants: everything is standard meat and fish of different varieties and cooking options (chicken, turkey, beef, sea bass doroado, mackerel, tuna, pangasius barbecue, stew, boiled, deep-fried, cutlets, kebab). Salad bar: cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce; feta cheese, cheese and sausage slices, olives...mousse desserts, biscuit cakes and pastries, not many local ones. Pastries galore. Pancakes with jams, honey. Flavored yogurt. Finely chopped fruit salads in syrup. Delicious pizza and my favorite falafel mmmmmm. Fruits: guava, dates, bananas, oranges, tangerines, apples. Soups are like soups, different. Side dishes: potatoes, mashed potatoes, baked wedges, croquettes, rice, pasta. Juices in coolers from tetrapacks with the addition of water (apple, pineapple, orange) are normal - not yuppies, I personally saw when they were filled. Satisfied with food. The staff is discreet, not pushy.
There was not enough service at the tables (replenishment of glasses, tea, coffee, juices). Strong alcohol, cocktails in the lobby bar and water park bars. In the evening, there is a disco bar next to the stage.
Evening events, competitions, karaoke, mini-disco. We used the services of the Spa zone, massage, peeling, wrapping (Sabah girl massage therapist - I recommend, skillful confident hands - I liked it). In the beauty salon, African braids were braided for both children - this is a feature of the hotel, children without exception with pigtails, both boys and girls - the prices are very affordable - Misha from the sales department recommended, thanks to him. The water park is excellent, with a children's area and an adult one. The territory is large green, many areas for swimming, many pools. The sea is like the sea in Hurghada. A gently sloping coast with warm shallow water, further depth, for entry it is better to have diggers, there are areas with spiky shells when entering. You can’t do snorkeling from the shore, it’s unclear and almost without fish.
To the left of the beach, 70 meters away, there is a large wooden pontoon pier, the water is clear and with the underwater world. Lots of different fish, big and small. It is interesting to watch both from the pontoon and dive with a mask. There are coral areas that attract fish. For non-professionals diving and snorkeling, very personal.
The beach is large, there are a lot of sun loungers, showers, toilets and changing cabins are normal. The child had a glass of windsurfing lessons on the beach, I liked it. The head of Hammad prompted and directed. There is a bar on the beach, snacks are prepared at 12:00. Refreshing drinks are freely available. There is no hard alcohol. There is beer, but they pour it into small disposable cups and don’t give more than 2, they say go drink another pour)))))). Our neighbors bought in Senzo Mole in the household. department for $ 0.65 plastic 750 ml glasses and poured beer into it and went to drink beer and eat shrimp (also from Senzo mall, fresh for $ 11, they cook it right away for $ 1). Senzo Mall - 10 min.
on foot. Large shopping and entertainment center. With regards to the transfer to the sea: for the first time we chose a hotel on the 2nd line, we did not regret it at all. We realized for ourselves that when a hotel is from a large territory (we love it so much), it’s more convenient to get to the beach with a breeze for 5 minutes in an air-conditioned bus than to walk 10 minutes through the entire hotel under the scorching sun and along hot stone paths. At night they used mosquito repellents, outside by the pool.
We went to the city for $ 4, or rather from 65 to 85 pounds, called an Uber taxi. At the airport, we always buy a local mobile connection with the Internet (16 GB) and from one phone we give distribution to the rest of the phones in the family (4 pcs. ). Enough for the whole rest, with regular use. We always took the Orange package, but this time we were disappointed, there is no support, and the locals cannot tell anything about this operator if questions arise. We were recommended that it is better for $ 2 more expensive but Vodafone.
There is wi-fi throughout the hotel, but it is mediocre. We walked in the city along the main street of Sheraton, made Egyptian purchases of hibiscus, mango, lemongrass, arafatki. We bought shrimp and crabs at the fish market (it’s good that I threw multi-tools into my suitcase), they peeled the crabs. Were near the mosque Marina. Impressions ...well ...just to see the local flavor and not to rate, eat as it is. When you come to visit, do not judge the owners or watch the logs in your eye))))))
The downside was that due to quarantine, the hotel sold weekend tours for cheap, for local residents (Cairo, etc. ) and from Fri to Sun, they were simply swarming by the pools of the water park and in restaurants. Our mentalities are different, that's the whole reason for resentment. In general, the rest turned out to be good, we went for positive emotions, warm sun, relaxation from the bustle of the capital. And they got it all in full)))). Will we go there again? Yes!
We never bought a tour to the same hotel, but we will return to the Albatros chain, to Jungle Park. Like the concept. The best offer was given to us only in the Travel Agency "Let's go with us", and even then not in any branch, it all depends on the human factor. Do not hesitate to monitor, take into account all the details in the miscalculations (PCR tests, insurance against non-flight and covid, departure time, number of nights, tour operator ... ). We had a difference in offers for the same request, on the same dates ...at $ 1500 (((((
Our next train there will be at the end of March. Tour purchased. Many plans that have not been implemented or want to repeat. Land and sea excursions are definitely on the list. We recommend this hotel.
