I recommend not to read the negative reviews of depressive evil people with a low IQ level, but to go and be convinced of the opposite.
So, in order: a visa at the airport is not $25, but $27, it does not depend on whether you have a pen to fill out or not!
• Check-in: elementary, give $20 to the Reception and say "we wanna good room Seaview" and you are immediately put into the car without waiting, your suitcases are loaded, and driven to the house. They pick up the suitcases and show the room, all problems are solved with lightning speed on the spot. The room is wonderful! Grohe plumbing, bidet, hair dryer, even a telephone on the wall in the toilet) Conder works fine, refrigerator, kettle, Samsung LCD TV, ceiling fan, very comfortable mattresses, old but beautiful furniture - a la vintage. Cleaned perfectly every day, new clean bedding and towels, + 2 bottles of water, sticks of coffee, sugar and tea.
• Hotel: for a relaxing family holiday without loud discos until late. 85% are Arabs (they always hang out in hijabs and even in swimming pools), 15% are Europeans (Ukrainians, Poles, Georgians, Germans. . . ). Clean territory (if rubbish is lying around, then only after Arab tourists, it is impossible to clean up after them in time), sharply trimmed bushes and trees, green grass, many pools. Somewhere shabby paths, not for hairpins, in flip flops - normal.
• Meals: there is the main Main restaurant, it is in the largest main building. It is clearly for the Arabs. They have a different culture of behavior at the table: they pick up mountains of food, scatter it on the table and around it, some eat with their hands, put children on tables, make noise, children yell (everything is allowed to them). It's hard for a white man! BUT there is a cooler with water and every day we collected full bottles of water there. We drank a lot of water, as we are leading a healthy lifestyle (almost: D). For white people there are 3 restaurants (the dishes are the same there, better serving and service): Layalina - BREAKFAST + DINNER, MarcoPolo - LUNCH and BellaVista - LUNCH. Layalina faces the main building and stands to the left of all pools. MarcoPolo is located right next to the main restaurant behind the wall, just ask where MarcoPolo is and you will be taken there, served cold beer, seated at beautifully laid tables. BellaVista is a round outdoor restaurant on the beach. There's only french fries (you can add) + hamburger or pizza, desserts and fruits. Very tasty. You will be offered dinner at the restaurant on the ship for $12 - sea delicacies. It was a pity for me to pay for hawk when there are a lot of free ones around. There is only 1 minus in nutrition: ice cream is given only to children. Everything else is quite tolerable: fried chicken, beef, sausages, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, salted curd masses such as feta, which are awesome combined with Iceberg lettuce, cheeses, chickpeas, beans, eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and much more. By the way, Arabs are not allowed into restaurants for white people, and if they penetrate, they behave civilly.
• Sea: this hotel is strictly for snorkelers or divers, there is no entrance to the sea for mothers with babies 1-5 years old. I traveled with my 6 year old daughter. In Kyiv, we bought a children's mask with a snorkel, and already on the second day my little snorkeler was crazy about fish, looking into the mask and breathing through the snorkel. On the beach, the sea with ebbs and flows, very shallow, as in all of Egypt. In front of the sea, a natural pool with sea water was dug out - for mothers with crumbs. There are sun loungers around, you can take a beach towel. We didn't have time to lie down and sunbathe, we swam and sunbathed in the sea all the time. Above the sea is a long wooden pier that leads straight to paradise. At its end there are 2 stairs to the water. You go down and immediately swim to a stunningly beautiful underwater world, consisting of multi-tiered cities of corals of different shapes, types and colors! Thousands of fish of various shapes, bright colors, stingrays with blue spots, purple lace jellyfish, powerful graceful turtles, sea devils, moray eels, thick sea cucumbers at the bottom, etc. And they say that dolphins swim up. I didn't. At the very beginning, a flock of small beggars hangs out. The beauty of the reef is especially visible when the sun is at an angle (dawn and sunset), the rays penetrate the entire depth of the reef, and the glare from the water creates iridescent stains on the seabed, if you swim left and right from the pier for 300 m and you can get a visual orgasm. On the phone, I took pictures and filmed a video underwater in aqua-case. I recommend buying an aquacase from yourself.
• Entertainment: we didn't go on excursions anywhere)))) Why excursions when there is such a sea? A turtle can give you more excursion than a quad bike in the desert. Children's animation - there were 1 time, my daughter and I were not up to dancing, after swimming all day in nonstop mode, we have enough strength to: have dinner, get water, walk to the room and fall into bed. After all, the sun rises at 5, and you can watch the fish as early as 5:30. From Pantone you can enter from 8:00 to 18:00. But the brave can break this rule)))). The shops? I recommend not to go anywhere far, and not to go. The most-most really cheap store without markups is located to the right of the lobby bar along the corridor, the last one on the right! There are sea slippers $4, a mask with a snorkel $6, sweets $2, and a jar of very tasty chocolate stones - $3.2 polyglot Arabs work there: handsome Max and charming Pavel. Everyone will tell, explain, treat you with a hookah, make thermonuclear supercoffee if you want to sleep.
• Personnel: these are generally bubbles, golden people. I would like to put in a good word for the waiter Mustafa (looks like a Mexican), a short man of about 45 with a mustache. An awesome person - he will play with a child, and bring ice cream, and wine for adults will bring either cocktails or beer. All you want. The very best waiter in the hotel. By the way! I recommend speaking Arabic Shokoran (thank you), Offwan (please) to everyone! Also the staff (half exactly) speaks perfect English. You will be understood only in English. Russian is not well known. Even walking through the already almost closed (cleaning started) main restaurant, if you approach the waiter with a kind smile and ask for a melon, THEN it will be brought to you on a plate cut into slices and peeled! The staff is great! I have no words to express my admiration for these kind, positive people.
SUMMARY: This hotel is not suitable for: people who like to swim only in the pool; glamorous liped chicks who love to dance in high heels; stupid people who love to swell pretty ball alcohol; hypermums "to swear"; gourmets who want to eat "crouton and deflop". I RECOMMEND this hotel for energetic healthy people who love the sea, know how to swim and use a mask, know how to dive, enjoy life and enjoy the beauty of fish! Loved it, we will be back again!
