Last year there was an ordinary key with a wooden blank. Everywhere they try to rip off money from the client, crooks. I DO NOT RECOMMEND, 4 has never been here. 2 max. And customer service in general 1.
Good things: 20-30 minutes from the airport. road I? balcony? opens very gra? ? s images, like lag? what? the other side? s Red j? huh? Is it 100 points? .
Bad things: Vie? bu? iui very tr? what's up, everything is broken? j? , apl?? ? , ? sharp water b? what? once but? anyway knots it's bad. Shared toilets no? maybe s, tr? ksta of paper. Very nice bartenders at Loby bar, service? s, with? laugh, r? pestilential.
Food is a disaster, isn't it just sometimes? given, who gets it first if you come 15 minutes after opening? what? to take About the choice? i? I don't speak at all. Alcohol is a disaster, whiskey, brandy, tequila, rum all taste the same and stink. Cocktails stink j? alcohol and poor.
Never? j? nigger?? ? already
Food - there is something to eat, no frills, the coast is huge, for every taste - this is a plus. The sea, of course, is not like in Sharm, no masks were needed.
More I want to note the staff, well done, go to a meeting, friendly, not intrusive.
And entertainment, I highly recommend, I haven’t tried it before, Windsurfing. And our instructor Tito, Russian-speaking, cheerful.
From the good:
1. Upon arrival at the hotel, and it was 7.00 in the morning, they immediately and without any hint put on bracelets and sent for breakfast, although according to the rules they are not required to feed and settle before 14.00.
2. Very beautiful access to the sea, there are variations of beaches for every taste.
3. There is enough food for everyone, there are many restaurants.
4. Walking distance to the city
5. Daily cleaning in the rooms, but the bedding has not been changed for 8 days.
6. In the evenings, animation for children, belly dance and skirt dance - for adults.
7. In the room daily 4 bottles of water 500 ml. , instant coffee and tea.
8. There was always everything at the bars, but they are poured into cups of 125 ml each))
From bad:
1. Local guides of the Anex tour marinate at the meeting for 1.5 hours, tell how good they are, buy tours only from them in three ways, lie that if you don’t buy a trip immediately Cairo and Luxor, after 3 days you need to retake the test for covid. Prices for each excursion for 20-30 dollars. more expensive. They take you 1 time for free for an overview of the city, in fact this is a check-in to an oil factory and a shopping center, in which prices are 2 times more expensive than in shops near the hotel. When buying at the factory and at the mall, they write the room number and hotel)) probably for a rollback to the guide. Why this divorce, all adults and many in Egypt not for the first time, it just makes me sick... Anex take on the guides!
2. For early check-in, immediately give 10 dollars. at the reception, without them you will be marinated in a noisy lobby until 14.00.
3. Food - very specific, monotonous, on the 3rd day you want to go home because of the disgusting cuisine. All with some kind of seasoning, the menu is the same every day, with seafood only mackerel. Squid and especially crabs do not even smell. The girl who wrote about the crabs in this hotel is clearly a purchased review. Fruits are the cheapest and the same, not even watermelons.
Take sorbex or another sorbent and an intestinal antibiotic with you. Either because of problems with sanitation in the kitchen, or because of the large number of people, you will have an intestinal disorder in 90% ((.
A la carte restaurants are practically no different from regular ones. Everything in Asian is very spicy.
4. There is practically no Internet connection in the lobby.
5. The hotel is loaded by 70-90%, there are crowds of vacationers.
6. The furniture in the rooms is old, but we had all the workers from the technique.
To sum up, there are a lot of negative impressions, but the sea smooths everything out. I would still like to pay attention to the menu and make it more adequate for a 4-star hotel.
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!
The hotel is overcrowded felt like herring in a barrel everywhere, especially in the dining room. Queues for any kind of food from 10 people, and for coffee in the morning in general from 20. This is not a rest, but a continuous standing in line, irritation grew every day! Tables are wiped with a dirty cloth, the table smells of sourness after it. And sometimes I had to sit down at the uncleaned one, because there weren’t enough tables either. Another time, I just didn’t want to go to the dining room, but the lack of snacks in the form of snacks or a second breakfast forced me to.
There is no food for children, everything is peppered, soy milk is diluted with water. The shortage of juices, or rather Yuppies, just poured water, it was just a shock to me. In the room, too, you can’t ask for water and hand out bottles of 0.5 liters per person per day in a heat of 43 degrees. Everywhere dirt from the reception. Stoic check-in windows with stains, not washed floor with sand and dirt, not wiped tables for rest and also in the rooms . . The rooms are old, I would even say ancient. Of the advantages, only a convenient entry into the sea for a child and many descents into the lagoon.
PS: you don’t need to pay extra for a room with a sea view, all rooms have a sea view, this is another Arab scam for money.
1. People who liked everything - do not mislead future tourists.
2. Nutrition is just bottom. From food, you could only eat rice (rubber veal, crabs without claws with a fishing line, sour finely chopped melon in water - I do not recommend it). The dishes are dirty and broken. The lines are crazy. During one of the dinners, they occupied the table, brought bread and scattered each with his own plate in search of food. The child took the drinks and returned to the table. One of the waiters in an impudent, boorish uniform began to drive the child out of the table, saying that he had already been taken. The child was hysterical. And for the waiters, the main priority is to seat the locals. But to expel from the table, this is beyond impudence.
3. Unsanitary conditions throughout the territory. Plastic cups have been floating in the pool since lunch.
4. Rooms - trash (I had a premium in Palma). Checked in at 19:00. Booked 2+1. They gave me a room with 1 bed. By 11 at night I got a cot for the child. They brought a wretched, broken, rusty cot. A day later, through scandals, they brought a normal cot. The room was dead, the hair dryer didn't work, water was flowing from the toilet. There are holes in the curtains.
5. The sea is excellent.
6. On the beach, if you fall asleep, you will be offered fresh, excursions, spa three times in your ear until you are woken up. Ignore is useless. You will be yelled five more times. And so every 10 minutes.
As a result, after 10 days of rest, I dreamed of a house, and was looking forward to departure.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
And now I want to tell in more detail. At the reception, they gave themselves (no one demanded anything) $ 10 from each family to give good rooms nearby. They gave cool rooms at Sunny Days El Palacio, one with sea views, the other with lagoon views. The hotel itself is located with the letter P. In the center is a restaurant, swimming pools and a stage with animation. So we lived away from this suite. Since we were with the kids, it was just great.
Also our hotel includes Sunny Days Palma (there is also the sea) and Mirette, which is across the road (there is a cool water park, which is open 10.00-13.00; 15.00-17.00). There are also French fries and burgers from 13:00 to 16:00.
The first day of our vacation was a meeting with a guide. I will say the same thing that others wrote: the guide from Anex tur is not a guide, but Gad. At the meeting, almost nothing about the hotel, and mostly rubbing about the tours. Do not rush to buy a tour immediately at its price.
We refused, then he dropped $ 25 for 1 tour. We took the Safari. It's like that ...The long road to the safari is tired.
You can also book for free 1 time in 4 different restaurants on site: fish, Asian, Mediterranean and Italian. The recording takes place in the lobby of El Palacio on the 2nd floor and in Palma near the reception approx. 11:00.
In the sea and in the pool you can swim from the morning until 17.00. Sea urchins swim in the sea after sunset, and the pools clap in the evening.
The animation is like that. Evening disco for kids and a show for everyone. There was a lot of discos for adults.
Regarding nutrition. There is something that no one has ever been hungry. Meat and fish always. Large selection of cereals, potatoes, cheese, fu sausages, vegetables, fruits and desserts. The downside is that all the drinks are in disposable glasses, which was very inconvenient. There is baby food (who will look for it, because we didn't find it right away, it's on the street to the right of the restaurant entrance).
The service is great, the staff is very friendly.
The room was cleaned during the day.
The food is like a canteen. Just to fill my stomach. The last two nights we slept without air conditioning, it broke. The master came, said that he would fix it, but he didn’t fix it, he just didn’t go back. And since we were leaving the next day, we decided not to change the room. On the plus side, there is a cool coral reef and a sunken ship, a lot of sun loungers and access to the sea. The water park is three tiny slides for children. Hotel for three with a minus.
