Отель цена-качество. Hotel price-quality.

We rested at the beginning of November 2022 (9.11-16.11. 22) at the Tia Heights Macadi Bay 5 * hotel. To the right of Tia are a couple of Jaz hotels, to the left is the Xanadu hotel, then Sunrise Cristal Bay.
Hotel Tia is lower in price category than neighboring hotels, but picky and budget tourists come here...
The room stock is tired, but the room suited us: spacious, like the bathroom ...Everything worked: hair dryer, sockets, plumbing, air conditioning, mini-fridge, hot water available ...(! ) They didn’t give soap, shampoo and gel only upon check-in, then they didn't report... until we left $1 to the cleaner... then they reappeared, plus a hair conditioner.
Towels are not new but white and clean.
We left at 7.00 and came to the room at 17.30 ...did not meet with the cleaners ...
Cleaning was daily: they made the bed, changed towels, the floor was clean, there was no dust, 2.0, 5 liter bottles of water were reported daily ...but you can also ask for water at the bar near the reception.

Note: take a couple of brighter bulbs with you, because the bulbs in the room are weak, and the sun sets at 17.00 in winter ...their dim light in the evenings is not comfortable.
And about mosquitoes: take a fumigator or tablets against mosquitoes if you want to sleep peacefully with an open window ...they poison them with some kind of smoke, but mosquitoes still fly in ...
Food: on the 2nd floor of the main building there are 2 restaurants side by side, one is smaller (and less choice) - (Grove), the second is larger (Aurora), where there is more choice and the staff is more active, more attentive ...but there were a lot of people in the restaurants, every now and then running out of cups, glasses, and even plates ...at the opening of the restaurant, there were queues, but for half an hour they dissipated.
I had my own plastic cup, so I got coffee without any problems.
Plenty of food, always overeaten. From meat: chicken, beef, meatballs, meatballs...a very large selection of vegetables, cakes...from fruits - oranges, dates, grapefruit, melon, guava...
bottled cola and sprite, a couple of juices from vending machines, tea...the men liked bottled beer;
cheese and sausage - in Egypt this is an imitation, we did not eat them ...
In the morning yogurt, boiled eggs or fried on the spot with fried eggs (or scrambled eggs) ...and pancakes are also on the spot ...There is a variety.
The beach is long, wide, there are a lot of sunbeds! If you go to the beach early, you will have time to take sunbeds in the first rows, and if you are late, you will lie further from the sea.
Beach towels are issued on cards right at the entrance to the beach. The entry into the sea is sandy for tens of meters, and even far away you can see a couple of reef islands on which there are few living corals ...there are fish, but there are few of them, sea urchins (do not step carefully), we saw a stingray. Strange, but almost did not meet the fish of the surgeon, and in Sharm there were a lot of them.
With children, this beach is just a godsend.

And for reef lovers, a hint: take a mask-fins and walk along the coastline to the left of the Tia hotel beach, past the Xanadu hotel, then past the Sunrise, and stop on the beach of the third Fort Arabesque hotel - and voila: a long beach with 3 stops in the sea (they are framed by a cable) - people go along the sand into the sea and swim to the reef, which is right there on the spot, 30 meters from the shore. The reef is much livelier than in Tia, it is colorful, and accordingly there are more fish in number and variety ...there is no depth itself, and it is comfortable to snorkel, and this is suitable for children and people who are afraid to swim near reefs bordering on the abyss.
Even if the entry is sandy, do not ignore the special shoes (corals)...I once noticed a stone fish through the mask, one of the most poisonous fish...it's good that I didn't step on it!
The animation is active, 3 Russian girls and 2 Arab guys are lit there ...
darts, gymnastics, bocha, yoga, aqua aerobics, in the evening there is again a noisy movement, but we were not enough for it ...
Internet only in the lobby, but we bought a SIM card with the Internet at the airport.
On the beach there is a bar with drinks (from 9.00) and
snacks (from 11.00): pancakes with jam, buns, and from 12.00 you can also have lunch: french fries, burgers with meat or sausage, pizza, salads...
There is also a vitamin shop there: for $ 2, they will prepare fresh juices from mango, strawberries, pomegranate, banana, guava, etc. etc...or mixes...but fresh mango is a god!! ! You can also buy a mango (€3/kilo) and ask him to cut it...
Weather: in early November it was cool for a couple of days, 24-25 degrees and a long stay in the water became uncomfortable ...but then it got warmer, we stayed in the water for hours.
What is worth noting is that there was a breeze all the days ...when leaving the water it was chilly, but soon the sun warmed. Although Makadi is considered a bay, it is unfortunately not windless, and I would not be surprised if it is more windy there from December to February ...
Our November vacation in Tia Heights was a success! We recommend the hotel!
