Неплохой отель, вернулись бы ещё раз Good hotel, would come back again

It was the first time in this region of Egypt. I liked the sea and corals. We flew the first flight to this direction from Zaporozhye. Traveled with a 5 year old.
Departure is great. There is good free parking near the terminal. Registration without a queue. Large waiting room. So what if you walk to the plane ladder.
Arrival - our flight was one. It took time only to buy a visa ($25 for each). The baggage was picked up quickly. It took a little more time to buy a local Etisalat SIM card for $15.30 gig, first 15 main ones go, and then another 15 additional ones. They didn’t understand right away, they installed the application and Google translator to help for the concept of the remainder. the Internet was always and throughout the territory and for communication and for cartoons and for games. Neither on the territory nor in the rooms wi-fi - no, only at the reception.

It's good that a lot of people went to this hotel. Therefore, the bus was filled with tourists only from this hotel and without any arrivals directly to the hotel (35-40 minutes). Because of this, a queue formed at the settlement and putting on bracelets. The room was given on the first floor in the building with a view of the pool with slides. The slides are open until 16:00, the child managed to ride the slides and swim in the pool. And this despite the fact that the departure from Zaporozhye was at 10:15. Everything was very fast upon arrival.
As for the hotel: the territory is large, green, well-groomed, people constantly worked on the lawns, tore the weeds on the lawn grass with their hands. The pools were not all working, they were partly under renovation. In the pool opposite the restaurant, the bottom is terrible!! ! very traumatic, small chipped sharp tile, and the water was cool to say the least, the sea is much warmer!! ! We only needed a pool with slides, and even then for half an hour for a child, and even then not always, there was enough of the sea. They left the room at 9:00 and returned at 16:00 - 16:30 to clean up for dinner.
Food is a separate and not very pleasant topic. yes, there was a variety, but for us adults everything would be fine, but it was difficult to feed a child. In the morning, scrambled eggs in a kilometer queue, milk rice porridge, milk, cereal, pastries. At lunch - water with Galina Blanca cubes, rice, pasta on the street with a queue, in principle, like for everything, lettuce and cabbage leaves, cucumber, tomato, if you have time, green pepper. There were steamed vegetables. From meat - chicken and beef goulash. I was strained with the seats, I had to wait until someone got up, then interrogate clean appliances, and if the place is on the street, then you serve yourself a table for another 15 minutes. This is very briefly about lunch. Dinner is even sadder. Dinner is scheduled at 18:30, seats are taken from 17:30-17:45, and the door to the dining room opens at 18:00. You will come at 18:30 - problems with queues and places. maybe not everyone goes to dinner, but in the evening you need to pass the time somewhere. The evening menu was a little different from lunch. There was a baked chicken twice, not bad, and once a duck. The side dishes are the same, the potatoes are generally cooked just the same. Sweets - yes. Fruits - sweet juicy orange, very sweet pomegranate, persimmon, melon - no. And then you don't always get it.
In the evening, live music was played above the restaurant on the second floor in the lobby bar.

Well, now !! ! SEA !! ! it's just great!!! ! The reef is LIVE, which you will not find in many Sharm hotels. And there are a lot of them!! ! From the pier and to the left and to the right, but with a wave it’s hard and unclear, but the most buzz at 7 in the morning is not from the pier, from the shore of the lagoon and to the left side !! ! Quiet, clean, almost empty, the sun shines. . . The right side is also not bad. No, you just have to see it! There are not many big fish, a lot of small multi-colored clouds above the corals! The reef is amazing!!!
Very comfortable lagoon for kids. Fine, warm, around the fish swim. Even in shallow water there is something for a child to see through a mask.
But it's hard to find comfortable places on sunbeds even at 06:30. And this despite the fact that you can use the sun loungers on the nearby Braika. Someone uses these sunbeds just to keep things there, and themselves, either in the sea, or with a child. All this with such a reef is solvable.
We also really enjoyed the hike in the desert. To do this, you need to go to the right border of the hotel, there sits a security guard who writes down your room number, the number of people and the time of exit, and everything is a real desert and unfinished "ghost" hotels. Beautiful coast, beautiful photos 1.5 km 15 minutes walk and another lagoon with a reef. The lagoon of the Aurora Hotel. but you need to go prepared - water, mask, fins and headgear. Our hike turned out to be spontaneous, there were only two bananas in the bag, there wasn’t even water, but the child endured it without problems, we didn’t even expect this from him, he really liked it and was impressed. Especially the shells, albeit not quite whole, which did not fit in his two small palms. He needed all the shells at once and with him, but there are quite a few of them.
I don't write for animation. There was some kind of nursery there, ours was enough for a little bit. They did not pay attention to the adult, because the end was early, everyone got tired and adjusted to the "small". It suited us.
Once there was a fire show... on the right side of the hotel on the seashore at 20:30. Just stand, it’s not even under your feet, it’s not even comfortable to stand, the wind blows. Well, in general, for an amateur.

I liked the hotel, although the number of rooms leaves much to be desired, but given how long we were in it from 21:30-09:00 and from 16:30 to 17:45, then in the shower, then behind the door at a table with a view to the pool and bar. For a dollar every day they twisted figures from towels (a flower, an elephant, a monkey, a snake, a swan).
In the near future, two more three-story buildings will be launched on the territory. Now they are empty, but it is clear that the interior is being renovated. After this, there will be more people, either it will be better, or...
But in general, we liked almost everything and the rest was a success! The main thing is to go with a good attitude and positive!!!
Good luck with your holiday!! ! I will be glad if my review will be useful to someone.
