We returned from paradise a week ago! This is true, especially when you find yourself in cold and snowy Ukraine. Now everything is in order:
We chose the hotel for a long time, because we were not in Egypt, but we really wanted to spend our honeymoon with dignity. And I will say in advance, all expectations were justified, the rest turned out great!
UIA flew, nothing needs to be explained, reliable, clear, beautiful, top class. thanks for a comfortable flight!
Met at the airport, visas, suitcases, bus, hotel. Turtess organized everything super, thanks to Bassim (airport-hotel-airport transfer), a good, respectful person. I will say right away, treat people the way you would like to be treated, and everyone will be your friend and no problem.
The road to the hotel takes up to 40 minutes by bus. The hotel is part of the Madinat Makadi complex, which is guarded and where there is no one except for the attendants from the locals.

The solidity of the complex, cleanliness, greenery immediately stand out against the backdrop of desert landscapes with dirty roadsides, although the roads are better than ours.
They met us, led us to dinner, then gave us the keys. we lived in building 4.2nd floor, room 410 overlooking the garden. They gave us a Family room, although Superior was paid for, a gift from the hotel as a youth, there was also a congratulatory letter from the manager and a small set of fruits, not a basket.
The hotel is small but very cozy, clean and super beautiful, the territory is a small botanical garden. The pool is small compared to other hotels, but if the whole was heated it would be super, I like the smaller part is heated, approximately 50m2, the water in it is +30. But the sea was warm and we were on the beach all week, only in the evening we settled by the pool for half an hour, and even then not always, and German citizens settled there for the whole day. The contingent of 70% is foreigners, the majority are Germans, there are fewer "ours", which is good, there were no "cattle" and "outright alcoholics".
The beach is good, met all expectations, clean, comfortable, you could always find the sun, a large number of wicker umbrellas did not interfere. The sun loungers are comfortable, the fences help to escape from the wind. The sea is perfectly clean, the color cannot be conveyed, and the salinity is higher than in Black. Sunset is convenient, sand, there is a little small stone, but not everywhere, gradual depth, after 10-15 meters deep, then shallow (to the waist) behind the buoys and corals! The first time I dived, I was simply stunned by the beauty! Then I found out that at the end of the pontoon you can also dive and eat corals, I went there, the reef is just super. There I saw a stingray and a moray eel! There are a lot of different and beautiful fish, I photographed with a one-time Kodak ($ ​ ​.18 at the hotel) (look for houses, probably cheaper). Near the pontoon there are boats for divers, but I have never seen any spots or stains on the water. So do not believe those who write this. The weather was sunny, but the wind, which made it uncomfortable to climb out of the water, took a towel with him to the pier.

I took a mask and a tube from home, so I don’t know the prices at the hotel and in stores, we didn’t need slippers, we didn’t buy them.
The food was good, tasty and varied, everything is clean and comfortable in the restaurant, but we ate by the pool, we liked it better there. Local alcohol is quite, I especially liked red wine, Sakkara beer is very decent, unless of course compared with well-known imported brands, they make a variety of cocktails (alcoholic and not).
During the day, ice cream is free Nestle, there is Pepsi, 7up, Merinda. Bar on the beach with all the assortment, thanks to the bartender Said for special cocktails for us! During the day they make pizza on the grill terrace, delicious, in the evening they grill something different every day. There were squids, crabs, quail, lula, barbecue, chicken. Everything is delicious. except for crabs. In general, do not stay hungry and sober! The staff is always friendly, the waiters are great, the chef is always in the hall, always smiling and friendly, he treated all visitors with sweets, tasty and pleasant.
We did not participate in the animation, as we were always by the sea during the day, and the "pool residents" took an active part. From the side it is clear that more emphasis is placed in animation on children, that's where the beauty is for parents, there is time to relax yourself while your child is having fun. Minus, of course, the lack of an elementary disco in the evening "with a tape recorder" at least, and the background music was in German.
On the territory of the complex there is a disco Laloka, we went there on Friday, the girls had free admission, for men $ 7 or 5 euros. They took the soul to one hundred percent, danced that their legs could barely bear. Drinks are all free, club music. Everyone was amazed at the disco by an elderly couple from Germany, they are over 70, but the way they danced, just great, a real example of a "young soul and love of life. "

Were on excursions from Turtess in Luxor (75$ per person). There was a double impression, on the one hand History, temples. tombs, the life of today's Egyptians, on the other hand, this endless shopping tour of papyri,
Many thanks and greetings to our new friends Oleg and Natasha from Kyiv, Sasha and Larisa, Marina and her mother from Kharkov.
I want to wish everyone a good mood on vacation, a positive attitude and the hotel SOL Y MAR CLUB MAKADI
