Before the closure of Egypt for the Russians, I often visited Egypt with my husband, for us Egypt has always been the golden mean: not far to fly, warm in the off-season, beautiful sea, winds for my husband who rides a kite.
And here is the long-awaited discovery of Egypt! Hooray! Autumn school holidays! I'm looking for a hotel.
Looking back at the level of service and quality of food 10 years ago, expectations were minimal. I just wanted it to be cozy, nice, tolerable food, a beautiful reef, a good entry into the sea for children, and the opportunity to ride a kite.
Good hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh of the level of Rixos and Hilton cost inappropriately much for Egypt. They were thrown away.
Therefore, I decided to look at the most expensive hotel in Marsalam, remembering that this is a non-pop, unkempt place.
Thus, I find Iborotel, read reviews, and book.
From Hurghada it takes 3 hours by transfer, well, I didn’t know this before the trip, otherwise I would have definitely rejected this option.
At first glance, Iberotel did not impress: small and modest. But! Every day we fell more and more in love with him! At first, the hotel seemed too modest, because there is no usual pompous style with giant chandeliers and glossy floors. The Iberotel is made in a modern style, very, very dignified, very imbued with the design of the hotel, bandage, homely, without unnecessary pomposity, with taste.
Immediately impressed with the service! Guys, all to one, what good fellows!! ! The choice is ready, as always, to change the number 100 times, then give 30 bucks and get the coveted key. Here they immediately gave a wonderful number without a hint of money! All families with children are accommodated on the ground floor with access to the pool, it is very very convenient!!!
As I understand it, there are no rooms with a view of the construction site and the garbage dump, in principle, the hotel is designed somehow cunningly that all the rooms face the pool or the sea.
The room is clean, new, a bit small after the hotels in Dubai, the last time we were in the Rixos Palms, but it's okay, you still spend the least in the room. And then with the soul with which the entire staff is trying - I don’t want to find fault.
The fact that the hotel is small for me turned out to be a plus! How convenient it is when you don’t have to walk for miles in the heat from the room to the restaurant, from the pool to the beach, and then the children will itch for a potty in the room or forget something somewhere and you overcome all the distances during the whole vacation. Everything is at your fingertips! This has definitely been a big plus for me!
Beach sunset in the sea, the sea itself is perfect !!!! ! This is a lagoon, in the middle there is sand, there is also a shoal on which children can swim and after 10 m it is already deep, and after 20-30 m you are already swimming with turtles and if you are lucky with a dugong. On both sides are reefs. Beautiful, rich in fish, so far... we have never swam so much anywhere! The husband forgot about the kite (by the way, there is no opportunity to ride, this is the only negative for us). But all the same, he was not bored, several times a day he swam to the fish. Children aged 7 and 8 swam with us, wearing fins and sleeves, although they swim well anyway, but for peace of mind they bought sleeves.
The waiters did their best, brought wine and cocktails to the sun loungers, but it was irresistible to go ourselves. Freshly squeezed juice on request at the bar. Unfortunately, we found out about this at the end of the holiday. Yes, they save on this and do not advertise that there are free mango fresh juices, guava strawberries. Oh delicious!!!
White and red wine is an obelisk of norms, cocktails too, we don’t drink strong, I don’t know.
Food: I didn’t get bored in 13 days, everything is always delicious. There is no crazy choice, but not scarce either. You will always find something tasty. The kids ate very well. Husband, and he is very demanding on restaurants and hotels - he never complained that it was tasteless. The beef melted in your mouth! Unlike the expensive riksos in Dubai.
There would be more fruits, but we overate on guava and persimmon, norms. Who cares: no mango, no watermelons, melons are not tasty. They said it's not the season.
I was struck by the management, who personally approached the guests and asked if everything was in order. I joked and said that we are very unhappy that we have not seen a dugong so far. So the manager asked the lifeguard to let us know when the dugong comes to the lagoon! I don't know how he understands it. The lifeguard actually came to us every day))))))
There is no arrogant attitude towards the Russians, on the contrary, it seemed that we were almost being licked!
In a word, very satisfied. I will go again and do not care that 3 hours from Hurghada.
I wish the hotel prosperity! Let the same attitude to their work and to tourists remain. By the way, there was not a single dissatisfied person on vacation at the hotel.
We went fishing, took not from the annex, but from Hasan, sells excursions from the hotel, walks along the beach or by the pool. We are all delighted. 480 dollars, half a day of fishing, swam on a beautiful reef.
P. S. This is my first review even though we travel a lot. The guys are trying so hard that I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.
