Excellent hotel. beautiful. common infrastructure with the Sphinx 5 * hotel.
- many pluses:
Good food - they cook just super, a lot of meat, fish, and sweets are just licking your fingers. for a rest for 7-8 days is excellent, but if it is longer, then it becomes boring. so the choice of options is not very large. They serve you instantly, you won't go hungry, that's for sure.
The beach is located very conveniently in windy weather (we were just in December and it was windy for a couple of days). beach sand, then pebbles. and then the Reef is MANDATORY!! ! bring a snorkel mask with you.
The pool with the water park is heated, the water there is like fresh milk. The truth is not always
animation is average. you can learn oriental dances. watch the video for the song Yara on the Internet. looks very cool, now my wife constantly listens to her.
You can not take booze with you, their strong drinks are very tolerable. except perhaps a bottle of good wine for the lady.
There are also disadvantages, but they are few.
Arrival is usually in the morning. and the standard check-in is at 14:00.
at the reception they offer $ 50 to move into the Sphinx, right away. Decide for yourself here. the difference is only in the furniture, there it is newer. this was told to me by a girl who had a rest for the second time (the first time the sphinx) and waited with us steadfastly at 14:00.
If you are resting for the first time, I can share my experience so that you do not fill your own bumps. the first is a mandatory meeting, in quotation marks, with a guide. do not be fooled by intimidation and do not buy anything from him if you do not want to overpay twice. leaving the hotel to the left and after passing 20-30 meters there will be a tour office. everything will be official (for comparison, an excursion to Cairo is exactly the same as that of a guide with lunch, etc. $ 35) the guide has 95 but with a "discount" of 60-65.
never tell the Arabs from whom you buy something that you are the first time, and never immediately agree on the price right away.
For example, I bought a bottle of cola at a bar. the price was announced as $1, but I said let's go and immediately the price rose to $2. to my indignation, the bartender apologized that he made a mistake and the phrase: "you want to take it or not...." With experience, I bargained for a cat figurine from $ 5 to $ 2 in Hurghada $ 18.
a pleasant surprise for girls, however, and for men. There is a cool leather shop on the territory of the hotel. products. a leather jacket can be bought from $ 70 bags prices are also super. the city is more expensive.
and further
tip the janitor. new linen will be cleaned every day. 5-10 pounds (ours 7.5-15 UAH).
