We are in Egypt for the third time, we go to Turkey more. This time, in order to diversify the rest, we chose two hotels - 7 nights each. The first was Alf Leila, the second is simpler - Minamark. After Leila, we thought that we would be disappointed. But no, the hotel is not bad for its money.
1. Settlement. We arrived at minamark at 12.00, settled within an hour. We were three adults and a 4 year old child, so we took 2 rooms (after reading the reviews, we took a superior with balconies). Initially they offered good connecting rooms, but with tiny bathrooms with showers. We rejected and they gave us good ones with a bathroom, one bigger one for three and a smaller one, which had 2 balconies. In principle, there are no questions about the numbers - only a toilet with a raid (
Numbers were 623 and 624
2. Territory. Very small, elongated. But at the same time very well-groomed, it’s just nice to look at! Everything is compact and organic.

3. Beach. sand, but corals (or stones) in islands, we went in shoes. There is an entry from the pier, where the sand is clean and shallow. There is an entry with depth.
Umbrellas are not impressed, very full of holes.
People take sun loungers and go for a walk, so you need to come early. At low tide, up to 13-14, it’s very shallow, then it’s just fine.
4. Food. For food, except for fruits, which were represented by oranges, dates and chopped small pieces of melon, there are no complaints.
For breakfast, a choice of 6 porridges!! ! As elsewhere - omelettes, pancakes, sweets, mashed potatoes, yoghurts to choose from, five pieces and so on and so forth.
Dinner is generally excellent. There are always grilled dishes, a variety of meat dishes, vegetables and salads. There are just too many sweets for dinner!
ALWAYS visit alacarte restaurants (so it seems). There are three of them - Italian, Lebanese and fish. You can visit each one once. Very tasty cooked and served. Lebanese is just a fairy tale! Snacks + salad + soup . . and then a huge barbecue with barbecue and kebab (if you knew right away, you wouldn’t eat anything, because the barbecue didn’t fit into us))
Now about the cons (maybe the cons are just for us)
1. Water is put on the room 2 bottles of 0.6 each, since we drink a lot of water, we had to draw from the cooler.
2. Cocktails like pinacolpda or other were paid (alcohol was mainly in the form of beer, warm wine, rum / local whiskey spill)
Watermelon was sold at a beach bar for 50 pounds.
3. Departure from the hotel we had at 16.40. Check-out at 12.00. When checking out, they asked us to return the bracelets, they no longer planned to feed us. We extended one room so that the child could sleep during the day ($ 5 per hour), only then they gave us the opportunity to eat....Probably we could have eaten at the hotel... It was unpleasant .
As you can see there are few downsides.
There are more pluses, besides the excellent location of the hotel - we went out and went for a walk and shopping)

Ps For seafood lovers - go to the fish market at the Marina. There you can choose whatever your heart desires and they will immediately cook it for you on the spot (for very reasonable money, especially if you know how to bargain)
