Хороший отель, понравился Good hotel, liked it

We rested together in Kuma and our two children 11 and 13 years old. Thanks to the guys from the reception for taking into account our request to live in the neighborhood. Normal rooms, free safe in the closet, electronic, plasma. The key card, sometimes did not work for the light, but got the hang of it. We lived on the 4th floor. the main building of the new signal (NS). Very convenient, the elevator went down - here is the reception and the restaurant and the lobby bar, where you can drink tea or coffee at any time (tea bags, instant coffee such as Nescafe). Here we went to a restaurant for breakfast in our own, and for dinner - in Stary Sigal (SS). In general, SS and NS are more of a conditional division, only everyone has their own reception, but all the information, including about the departure at the SS reception stand, there is also a table with a computer at which the girls from the guest service work. Thanks to the girls, a lot of things prompted, explained. There is also a meeting with the guide in the SS. As for me - a waste of time, except for excursions at "super prices" did not hear anything. Now let's talk about nutrition. In our opinion, it is very worthy, and considering the cost of the tour, it’s generally super. Everything was enough, the choice is good, everything is tasty and fresh. Snacks at the bar on the SS beach, drinks, ice cream from the machine and not only for children)). We dined only at the food court (a platform under a canopy, and around it 4 kitchens). Light beer, cola, everyone is poured into a large glass, they do not regret it. The bartender asked me to pour half a glass of beer, he was genuinely surprised)) There, in the food court area, there is a fish restaurant, one visit is free. At the reception, upon check-in, they give a card like a business card, with it you need to go to the restaurant itself and sign up. The main thing is not to be late for dinner, as we were late for 20 minutes, and he only works for an hour))). Water is brought to the room daily at 0.6 liters per person, but in any bar there is drinking water in the cooler, we collected it in our own bottles. Guys constantly walk along the beach, offering either massages or excursions, but not intrusively. We knew in advance where we were going and with whom, we found MidoBikham through social networks, he is local, he has his own travel agency, a website, we looked at everything there, chose what we were interested in. We were on a super safari in El Gouna, it turned out not expensive, no prepayments, we liked both trips, we are satisfied with the service.
The animation is also very active, unfortunately I didn’t remember all the names, only Katya, she was the first to get acquainted) Throughout the day, the guys are invited to all kinds of activities. There are water slides there, a heated pool, children rode, there are a lot of pools, but I didn’t want to swim in bleach, we flew to the SEA. There are two beaches to choose from, the lagoon is in the SS, the open sea with small corrals is in the NS. Entry into the water is good, the sand, the sea is not shallow, no ebbs and flows were noticed. In the lagoon, if you enter from the beach, the bottom is good, and if there are stones on the sides from the steps, but if you enter in a normal way, and not like me, jumping from the steps to the stones)), then protective shoes are not needed. Well, the last thing I wanted to dwell on is the location of the hotel in the city. The fact that the hotel is a city hotel was a plus for us, we constantly wandered somewhere, either to the embankment, it is within walking distance, then shopping, buying fruit, oriental sweets. They were bought at a fixed-price shop on a street perpendicular to the Sheraton, I think Sherri, or something like that. There are plenty of sweets, locals also buy there. There are gift sets, but it’s more profitable by the piece, they are all packaged, you collect them in the basket and at the checkout. I had to buy a card for the phone in a branded magician. Vodafone, because in a hotel with Wi-Fi, which is free at the food court, it's a complete disaster. Works on time, and even barely. At the reception, we were offered a paid, but more profitable card. Money was changed in the exchange office at the Sheraton, it is more profitable to pay in pounds, in a magician. with fixed Prices do not take dollars, only pounds or a card. You need to be careful when crossing the street, taxis and other cars rush, there are no crossings. There are many cafes, shops along the street, a very busy street.
I liked the hotel very much, they didn’t regret their choice, the hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, positive guys at the issuance of towels and beach-fights, there were no problems in communication, they spoke Russian-English)) Well, leave a small tip if possible, and thank you again, senkyu or shukran say. All positive and good rest. The hotel is excellent, we recommend!
