Mirage Bay Resort & Aquapark 4*
Rested at the hotel from 1 to 11 November.
The hotel changed hands in mid 2017. Lead title
Lillyland Beach Club Resort.
The hotel is undergoing reconstruction, during the day there is construction noise, but not everywhere - the territory is very large. When they fix it will be a cool hotel.
Weather. It's already cold in November. Cold wind in the evening. The sea water is also cold. The pools were not heated; I and a few other walruses swam in them. My wife even caught a cold. It is interesting that the water in the sea (if you walk along the pier) is warmer than in the bay itself.
Territory.
The hotel is very big. The territory is well-groomed, there are many trees and shrubs of flowers - you can make beautiful photos. The most important advantage of this hotel is the Huge lagoon. The entrance to the sea is sand and small stones, you can not use swimming shoes. There is also a pier 200 meters out to sea. There you need to swim with a snorkel and a mask and watch the fish. The hotel has a water park with slides for activities.
Nutrition.
The hotel has 1 main restaurant Karnak and 4 more Alacarte / Brazilian, Italian, Asian, Arabic. Everyone has the opportunity to visit everything. The most delicious Arabic and Asian but in Brazilian make kebabs. But in order to get to the restaurant, you need to come to the main restaurant at 7 am, usually you can’t sign up at 7.30.
The main restaurant upset with its illiterate organization. For the first time in a hotel, I saw a queue for food and something like this in 30 people. All food is located in one place - and everyone lines up first for plates and then to put something for themselves. The easiest solution is to put food in different places. A simple tip - do not come to the restaurant on time, stay for 1.5 hours. There will be no queues and the food will remain the same. The average food is described by the phrase “You will not stay hungry”.
Fresh vegetables and salads are always available. From meat it is beef in different forms, chicken, turkey. Fish 2-3 species, but not very tasty. Lots of side dishes.
Lots of pastries and desserts. Fruit was tight - only melon, orange, agave and dates.
Snacks are prepared on the beach from 11 am. Belgian waffles. pizza. Burgers. Hotdogs and french fries.
Drink.
All alcohol is local and all not so much. Vodka, Tequila, Rum, Brandy, Ozu, Gin. Cola, sprite and fanta are poured from bottles but the taste is also not the same. But the bartenders are great at making interesting, quite tolerable cocktails. There is also a light beer - if you go to the sea they will give you only in small plastic glasses. I recommend taking alcohol in Dutifree, and taking cola and the rest at the hotel. Juices are most likely from concentrates, or even powder - I was allergic to them.
Accommodation.
The hotel is being refurbished and so are the rooms. Half of the rooms and bungalows are closed or being painted. Having invested 10 dollars in the passport, we were immediately settled in the Andalusia building upon arrival at 11 am. He is right at the reception, which is in the open air.
Room 536 is old but nice - immediately with access to a small pool and sun loungers. There were 2 Russian TV channels with hissing STS and TNT. All questions on the number must be resolved for a long time. The lighting did not work, there was no hot water a couple of times, we had to beg for extra sheets.
Only 2 bottles of 0.5 water are given per day. Do not throw away the container in the bars, you can always fill it.
In general, the hotel is good - you need to go there for a good sea and it's better in September October is not so hot. In November +28 / cold water.
Tourists.
Russians do not officially fly yet, but only through Belarus. Mostly in the hotel Ukrainians, Belarusians, Czechs, Poles, Germans, there are a few Arabs.
Useful
Local rate 1$=17.5 pounds
It's better and cheaper to buy at Senzo Mall. You can walk from the hotel in 26 minutes. You can take a taxi, bargain. It costs 2 dollars or 34 - 50 pounds to get there. In the center of the year to get 5 dollars because it's far away.
Internet WiFi in the hotel is declared - but in fact it is not. The photo didn't send in a day. You can buy a Vodaphone card in a hypermarket for $5 for your passport / $7 for a local friend, we were each issued 7.5 GB for 10 days, which is even a lot. Skype does not work in Egypt.
Pharmacy in the hotel - never! We were offered cough drops for $20. In Senzo Mall for $ 4 we bought 2 pieces.
Bargain everywhere - the last resort is to leave and then an 80% discount
