Rested with his wife - we are 50 years old. Room 1210 de luxe. I liked it very much. Bed linen is white. The towel was changed when you left it on the floor in the room. Safe in the room - free of charge. I was surprised by the service - on the last night before departure, after dinner around 22-00, the air conditioner turned off. After 15 minutes, we realized that we didn’t have time to live until the morning. Phoned. The Russian-speaking operator wrote down our application and after 10 minutes the master appeared, who launched the air conditioner for us within 5 minutes. It was very amazing and enjoyable. There was always enough food (meat or chicken), even 15 minutes before the end of dinner. There were even small crabs, but no meat was found in them. Fruits for this period were: very tasty: pomegranates, grapes, guava. Green (as the hotel guide said - not yet the season) melon, bananas, oranges. One type of sausage and three types of cheese - we did not like it. There are many sweets, including honey, jam and more. The best thing there is the sea!! ! 3 different sections of the sea: the first for children (a bay in the lagoon. The maximum depth is 7 meters), but the entry is gentle sandy. The second one is for coral lovers. This is 200 meters in the sea at a depth of up to 2 meters. They swim only in masks with a snorkel and in safety shoes or flippers (many sea urchins) in the amazingly turquoise water. And the third entry - for lovers of fish, corals and diving. 10 meters from the entrance and immediately a cliff, where the water changes from turquoise to blue, where all the beauty is. I've only seen such beauty in BBC movies. Hundreds of different fish. Now about the cons: for men, only 1 hour of beach volleyball is provided for the whole day (from 11-00 to 12-00). And that's it!! ! If for ladies, it's belly dance lessons, aqua aerobics and gymnastics. There is no basketball backboard, no football field, no big tennis, no chess, checkers, dominoes. On the first floor in the lobby there was a tennis table with a net, but I could not knock out rackets with a ball for the first 5 days from the reception. Only on the 7th day, through the hotel guide (Egyptian) Coral Travel, who also cursed with them, my wife and I received the long-awaited rackets and a ball. Played to the bone. About bars: 4 beach bars, 2 bars in the restaurant, a lobby bar, and one day-evening bar, open from 12-00 to 24-00. For our taste, Stella beer is bitter. Wine and red and white did not like. All local drinks: brandy, whiskey, rum, gin are very good - never had a headache in the morning. True, I did not dare to try the local vodka. Fanta, cola (including light), sprite have always been. Juice in liter bags was of several varieties: orange, pineapple, guava, apple. If someone goes, then take rackets and a volleyball with you. And who loves marine flora and fauna, then be sure to have a camera or a photo for underwater shooting - you will not regret it.
