A couple of days have passed since my 13th return home from warm and sunny Egypt. I rarely write reviews (once it was about my 10th and 8th visit to this country ...the Nubian village and Nubian island hotel, respectively, in Sharm) But now, I could not help but write! because I can not praise. . do not advertise. . and do not recommend (and I have something to compare with!!!! ) this hotel!!!!

I didn’t choose a hotel before the trip, because we didn’t plan the trip (only in mid-January we returned from Sharm, but announced quarantine at the school . . in general, a call to a friend of the travel agent . . iiii the day after tomorrow the flight! )

At night, on the eve of departure, I read the reviews, looked at the photo of the hotel . . I found that in many places it was declared as 4 *, I was completely upset that I did not take the first line (everywhere declared as 5 *) “Well, what is the difference of 150 c. u. Is it for 10 nights? ” and fell asleep in a hopeless situation and with the hope that everything that is done is for the better and that everything will be fine))) ..
Flight / Arrival: - I will miss flight information and transfer (since this has nothing to do with the hotel)

Check-in:...even upon arrival in the morning, you are not forced to wait either in principle or in order to get the coveted 10-20u. e for check-in earlier than at 14.00 ...at 10.00 they put on bracelets and give out a room key !! ! -12 points!

Rooms: We lived (myself and 3 of my children) in a building near the pool with slides, overlooking these slides, i. e. the pool, although in the package I had a room overlooking the garden!! ! The only way I “deserved” it was that I asked at the reception when checking in from a very well-mannered, attentive and friendly clerk: “give me, please, the first floor (so that I can use the balcony as the front door (I love it so much) and not carry baby stroller on stairs and elevators (another big "+" of this hotel is elevators in all buildings!! ! ))

The room is spacious standard. Huge double bed, (extra bed delivered in min.
10 after the request, moreover, they specified: one or two?!! ! )
Good mattresses, clean linen, towels changed daily, but I want to pay special attention to cleaning. . (we stayed in room 1555 from 02.02 to 12.02. 2020 (this is for the hotel management, which may pay attention to this and will mark the mustard man who cleaned our room from 04.02 to 09.02 with a special compliment! ! (perhaps the administration will be prompted by the lovely and very pleasant gastrulation Marina) I have NOT seen such cleaning in Egypt!!! ! beds compliments from mustard. . it's not just my cosmetics neatly arranged (which, too, far from all hotels do) and our things are laid out ...it's dust wiped everywhere! ! This is normal! ! (not only in the center of the room, but and in the corners! ) the floor was washed!!! Cleaning the first week of our stay is 12 points!!!

Then the maid changed, perhaps, and the cleaning and compliments were still there, but there was no such brilliance. The second week of our stay-cleaning, as for Egypt, excellent!

Food: This is sooo good food! ! Abundant and well prepared! (Again, I have something to compare with): Each dinner is themed, designed for 2 weeks (14 days - some kind of theme ...European, Italian, Russian, Chinese, barbecue .... )
There were always fresh vegetables in various forms - both in the form of appetizers and salads, as well as simply chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, blue cabbage, lettuce leaves ....
There was always at least three types of meat, always at least three types of beef with gravy, baked meat, grilled meat (in the evenings always chicken skewers on the terrace, beef jackets on the grill and mini pizza), meat cutlets or chicken fillet cutlets, liver several times , shrimp, crabs, there were dumplings! ! ..
- Every day they cooked fish, there were both nuggets and fish on the grill, baked whole. The garnish was varied - rice. pasta, mashed potatoes, potato wedges, baked potatoes several times
There was, of course, a dietary table - boiled chicken, steamed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower .. )
Separately, you can write a review about desserts, for which there is a separate room where you can choose both classic Egyptian sweets and various pastries, cakes, jellies, amazing soufflé s and creams.
There were always fresh fruits - melon, oranges, dates, bananas, pomegranate seeds, tangerines. Dinner was fresh strawberries, grapes and physalis.

As for the hotel grounds - it's gorgeous...sooo beautiful. . palm trees! ! - tall and beautiful and there are a lot of them! ! , a lot of pools, both for swimming and decorative . . a lot of green lawns, the buildings are located in such a way that you seem to get into Italian courtyards (as for me) ..

that all this is clean and well-groomed - even I am silent! (Gardeners constantly cut something, watered, removed every blade of grass from the lawn with their hands, leveled the bushes and trimmed the trees. Near the hotel pools with a sandy beach, the sand was leveled daily and passed with a rake .... ) -12 points!

Second line: From the room to the sea - 10 minutes at a slow pace. Too lazy - had breakfast and right next to the restaurant (at the exit from the hotel) - shuttle - 3 min. and you with the breeze on the beach! Now I consider the second coastal one a big plus, if you don’t go to the beach and from the beach . . yes, with such food, on your return +5 kg, you are provided))

Beach: large ...clean . . protection from the wind and sun loungers, enough for everyone!
Towels will be brought by beach workers, they will also set up a sun lounger as you want and unfold the “protection” and, if necessary, bring another one. And at the same time they will answer, in good English, that there are no problems and that this is their job! service on the beach-12 points!
Therefore, who is planning a relaxing holiday, perhaps with children...: clear sea (so Makadi) excellent and plentiful food, cleanliness in the restaurant, rooms, grounds...highly recommended!! ! And I myself, be sure to return, for the "golden bracelet".
