The hotel was chosen for its location in the bay, I wanted the water to be warmer, since the weather in Egypt in winter is a lottery. As a result, it turned out that the beach and the sea are the only pluses of the hotel, there may be questions about everything else. We got to the place early, but we settled in almost before lunch, changed several rooms until we chose something more decent. I will not describe anything, you will see everything for yourself, in each building there are probably dead rooms and more or less normal ones, inside everything is the same as in the description of the rooms in the hotel, only the pictures are of course far from reality. The beach is generally nearby, I liked it very big, we always found a couple of free sunbeds nearby, although sometimes they came not at all early. The beauty of the bay and reefs has already been described by many, all this is true and I join everything, for the sake of this we personally fly to Egypt in the first place. The only thing is that despite the location in the bay, the water is still cold for me, I didn’t get much pleasure from swimming, but my husband likes to swim with a mask and go-pro, he does it for hours, though it should be noted here that he swims he is in a wetsuit and does not like to tan at all. And so the weather was more or less, of course it’s cool in the evenings, a jacket with a long sleeve or even a light jacket is a must. I didn’t really like the territory of the hotel, it was time to update everything for a long time, it is located extreme to the desert, so there is nothing interesting nearby, and sometimes the howl of stray dogs was very annoying. Everything was fine in terms of nutrition, the necessary minimum food was always there, something was pleasant, what is not, everyone has their own taste, from seafood we only got tasteless fish, of course I wanted more fruit, fresh vegetables were not tasty, but this is understandable , not the season, but all our familiar pasta, potatoes, rice, chicken is always there, sometimes beef, rolls in the morning, cakes in the evening, so you won’t have to starve. I advise you to take strong alcohol with you, beer in the hotel is more or less, but of course no one immediately pours a pint. There is animation in the hotel, everything is also standard, my husband sometimes played volleyball, goes to billiards, there is a kids club. In the evening, different performances are held, you can also evaluate it in different ways, it all depends on your mood, there is some kind of dance, some people were simply delighted, others were dying of boredom, everything is also an amateur. On the third day I persuaded my husband to go to Luxor, not bad, of course, a tibaturk will help. I also advise you to buy a local SIM card at the airport for communication, there is no Internet in the rooms and, for example, on the beach, but the lobby is very weak, I didn’t even understand if it was paid or not, but our phone just flew, in my opinion faster than even ours . So our vacation went something like this, a maximum of four with a minimum, of course, in warm weather it will be much better here and the sea will redraw some of the shortcomings as usual, but there will be more people, queues everywhere, and the price will also be different, so choose what you like best, but if you are also looking for comfort, then I think you need to consider another place.
