In this hotel for the second time, previously rested a few years ago, I can say that the hotel has not changed much. They recently refreshed, made repairs, although they have not finished yet, they continue to repair, but this did not interfere with our rest. Settled pretty quickly, the room in the main building, we were quite satisfied. Cleaning without much diligence, daily bottled water in the room. The territory is small, compact, for those who like to wander, you won’t be able to walk around very much. But thanks to the excellent location of the hotel directly in the city, you can make a daily promenade. What we actually did in the evenings). In the morning and afternoon on the beach, in the evening a walk when the heat subsides. There is a swimming pool, but we didn’t swim in it for the whole vacation, the sea was enough. Sea. This is actually why we fly to Egypt. The beach is sandy, special shoes are not required, a clean, gentle entrance to the sea. But there is one but. The coastline itself is somehow missing. But there are a lot of sun loungers, and they are very close to each other. It was a little stressful. There is delicious ice cream on the beach, and you can take as much as you want, not like in other hotels, one portion and then for a child). I don't drink alcohol, but I love sweet treats. I'm moving on to food. Pleased, and varied, and a lot, and quite tasty. They didn't even try everything. There were dishes that were quite spicy, but most of them were normal in terms of spices. In general, by trial and error, by the end of the holiday I knew what to choose for myself. The main thing is not to pile on a full plate, like some comrades, and then throw it away. I liked the grill menu and desserts)). As for entertainment, I will say this, there are animator guys who are ready to teach dancing, do aerobics, etc. My husband sometimes played beach volleyball. Those who prefer "seal" rest can relax, the animators are not annoying)). In the evening there is entertainment, a disco, but we have never gone. On each of our trips, we try to get out on excursions, we always took a guide from a tour operator. We took Paradise Island with diving. In general, super, a lot of new sensations !! ! And the instructor is well done, a pro, it was not at all scary to dive, although I am a coward. On the island we sunbathed, swam with masks, had a great time.
The Marlin Hotel is perfect for families with children, pensioners (there were a lot of them)) and those who want the hotel not to be on the "edge of geography", but closer to the center. Normal hotel, deserves its 4 stars (Egyptian). P. S. I wrote more about the excursion to Paradise Island in the attractions section.
