We stayed as a couple at the end of October. We were at the hotel at 12.00, immediately received bracelets and went to explore the territory, had lunch at the food court, then check into the room. Lived in a new seagal. The room is good, from the furniture there is a wardrobe, inside with an electric safe (free of charge), a table with two chairs, a table with a mirror, plasma, a mini-bar (refrigerator) with 4 bottles of 0.6 liters of water (free of charge), later the cleaner brought 2 pcs. daily. There are two plastic chairs on the balcony, there is no rope for drying clothes, no iron and no kettle. An iron can be ordered for an additional fee, there is no need for a kettle, in the lobby bar there is tea, coffee, hot chocolate around the clock, pour as much as you want. In the bathroom there is a shower-kanbina, a hairdryer, a cap once. shower, soap in a box. Liquid soap dispensers. Another sewing kit. The only negative on the number is a constant monotonous hum, they did not understand where it came from, whether it was an extractor hood, or maybe something else. It strained a little on the first day, then they got used to it, did not pay attention.
The territory is large, common for old and new seagals, swimming pools, water slides for children and adults. We spent more time on the territory of the new seagal, had breakfast in our restaurant on the 1st floor near the reception, dined at the food court, and dined in the old seagal. On the beach in the bars there are snacks, ice cream from the machine for everyone and drinks. There is also a seafood restaurant, once you can visit for free, record in the restaurant.
As for the food, there are no comments, we just had enough, every evening there is a barbecue (grill menu) on the street. Light beer, bottled rosé wine for dinner - good. White was from packs, but also nothing. There are 4 cuisines on the food court, but the taste is almost the same, in the very first one (it seems Indian) it is very spicy. I was pleased that beer, and everything else, is poured only into large glass glasses, and they do not regret it)). Near the food court there is a sports ground for mini-football and volleyball, boccia is also there, and on the stage you can learn dancing with animators, free Wi-Fi “works” in this area. This is nonsense, it does not work, if I'm not mistaken from 8 am to 6 pm. On the second day of torment, we bought a Vodafone card, it's cheaper than the paid one at the reception.

I’ll say right behind the animators, an international team, well done, active, constantly calling for different activities. Water aerobics was held on the beach of the old seagal. In the evenings, there are shows in the amphitheater, it is next to the food court, the show is in English, apparently because the hotel has many guests of different nationalities, discos are held, and they are also invited to go out. Beyond the beach and the sea. You can use two beaches, in the old lagoon and a pier for yachts, there is a dive center, mask-fins rental 2 dollars / hour. The depth is normal, not shallow. In the new one - the open sea, on the left, facing the sea, the kite center, the swimming area is fenced off with buoys, at the end of the buoys and to the left there are corals and fish. Two points of exchange of towels, you can change once a day.
By location, the hotel wins a lot, as it is located in a new city on the street. Sheraton, Marina is within easy reach, about 15 minutes slowly, on both sides along the road there are endless shops, cafes, pharmacies, exchange offices, etc. there are shops with fixed prices where you can pay by card, Vodafone and McDonald's shops. Bargaining in shops. For example, I ask how much an average suitcase costs, the answer is 28, but for you it’s 22, I say thank you, I’m leaving, screaming after me for $ 15! Fruits were bought on the street on stalls, gorgeous mangoes for 25 pounds, they were cheaper, but these are just wow!
Well, a little about leisure outside the hotel. The trip was planned exactly at this time in order to finally visit Abu Simbel and see with your own eyes the “Solar Miracle”, the illumination of the face of Ramses II by a sunbeam. This phenomenon occurs only twice a year, on October 22 and February 22. .
I'll sum it up. The hotel is excellent, I liked everything, everything is clean and tidy, friendly staff, two Russian-speaking girls from the guest service (a table in the foyer of St. Sigala) will always help in resolving issues and advice, the food is excellent, the location of the hotel, price-quality, excellent four. We will recommend and come back ourselves.
