We were a little afraid to go to the hotel because of the negative reviews, BUT, as it turned out, the hotel is quite normal, price-quality corresponds.
The territory of the hotel cannot be called green, but the flower beds are really well-groomed and they are constantly doing something. The reception is large and beautiful. At the reception they helped us with any questions. Internet at the reception is very bad, you can buy a paid one. It must also be said that Kyivstar also worked intermittently in that area.
We arrived very early, at 8 in the morning we were put on bracelets and offered to go to breakfast. Checked in around 11-12. Prior to this, there were no free cleaned rooms, but we needed 3 rooms and next to each other.
They settled us in a building overlooking the lagoon above the stage. on the 3rd floor there is 1 room and 2 rooms for 2. We chose the rooms ourselves from those offered, we settled on those that we liked.
The rooms are a little tired in terms of plumbing (pipes) and doors, which could use restoration, but this did not interfere with the rest. Everything else in the room is fine. Comfortable mattresses, huge balcony.
Concerts until 23 and they did not bother us, it was even convenient to watch them from the balcony. Evening animation is generally super, with competitions and artists. Children's and day were not interested.
Rooms were cleaned daily and quite thorough, plus swans from towels.
Meals: standard breakfast - eggs (omelettes, fried eggs, boiled), sausages, milk porridge, and more, cheese, feta, ayran, yogurt, fruits (cut or sliced melon), oranges, pomegranate, agave (several times), dates, and of course pastries, for lunch and dinner there were always chicken (usually fried or grilled) and also stewed with vegetables (for pita), veal (kebabs, grilled, stewed, liver) and fried fish in large pieces (mackerel) or whole ( small, similar to crucian). Very tasty stewed vegetables and eggplants. Of the side dishes, rice, pasta, potatoes..... Several types of salads, as well as chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage and greens. The reviews wrote that fruits and vegetables are sour. I don’t know, once on the first day I caught a spree orange. There was no more. The menu looks good to me. I personally didn't get bored. I like meat, fish, vegetables and sweets. All this was. There were no stomach problems.
The main restaurant serves through glass, but there are two smaller ones where people collect their own food.
Beach: The location of the hotel is really advantageous. You can sunbathe around the lagoon, or on the open sea. The lagoon has a sandy beach, a good entry for those who do not swim and children. The main part of the lagoon is 3-7 meters. It's great to jump from the sides and ladders. There are no living creatures in the lagoon except for sea urchins and a couple of fish. Hedgehogs at depth or on stones on the wall do not interfere with swimming.
Sea: entrance from small ladders, like a pool. At the beginning there is a dead reef, the depth is waist-deep and in some places it stretches quite far, you can walk and snorkel along it - there are fish. Behind the reef, the depth begins to be more interesting there and there are live corals, a lot of fish. Not like in Sharm near the Continental but still interesting. To swim in the sea, slippers are a must buy!
Guide: Join Up's name is Mina. Naturally, I took excursions, and only with them and only ordering is possible on the 1st day immediately after the meeting. Those. does not give time to think. Booked a quad bike ride. Liked. And we booked a sea excursion at the hotel - we were also very satisfied. Our flight was at 4 am. at 21 pm there was no information about the transfer. Barely got in touch with the guide. he was surprised and dropped the screenshot. In the absence of the Internet in the lobby and Kyivstar, which also did not work in that area, it was brilliant. It turned out that they pick us up at 23-15. In fact, they took it at almost 24.
Surroundings: we didn't go to the right of the hotel, to the left, after about 150 meters, a street with cafes and shops begins. We went to the fish market (about 30-40 minutes) behind the second mosque to the left. We didn’t get a terrible stink as I write, although the place is, to put it mildly, “colorful”. In the market 3 times ordered shrimp, fish (tuna) and eel, baby octopuses and squid. Ordered from a Guy with a sign "Fish Rashid". And he has delivery. Cooked there, really tasty. Next to it is a Kiosk with perfumes, teas and herbs, the owner is hospitable - Ahmed. He has good prices and, as we noticed, locals buy.
In general, I liked the rest. The presence of candelabra and 20 types of meat will not replace good company, mood and the Red Sea!
