I visited at the end of April 2010. at Resta Grand Resort 5*, Marsa-Alam, Egypt
Here are my impressions.
1. road, accommodation, number
I flew with Tez-Tour, there were no complaints about the meeting, the transfer. Upon arrival at Hurghada airport, people were met with Tez-tour signs, and even those who were there for the first time understood everything, and where to move, and where to get registration cards, etc. , the people organized themselves on buses (Russian-speaking representatives of Tez- tour, again, they tried to explain everything, there were a lot of buses, with numbers that were reported to the tourist by the Tezovites, depending on who was going where (hotels)).
We, who were going to Resta, got a large comfortable bus, with air conditioning, TV. It took 3 hours to get to the hotel (about 200 km), which is quite normal for these distances.
Upon arrival, we filled out a registration card at the reception, gave our passport (they took it in the evening on the same day), received a towel-card (a card for getting a beach towel).
In the meantime, our suitcases were loaded into a small car (like how golfers are carried), they invited us into it and drove us to our room. But not directly, but across the entire territory, in order to show where there is what. The territory of the hotel is large, with a pool in the center, lawns and many buildings around which we rode and eventually reached ours. Suitcases were brought to our room, together with us they looked at it on the subject of whether everything suits us.
The rooms are excellent, and in my opinion, there is no point in choosing something. The hotel is new and all the rooms are equally good. The size of a standard room is about 46 square meters. m. , has a balcony or terrace (in all rooms). The balcony looks either at the green park, or at the pool, or at the sea. There are no buildings that look at each other head-on, the body standing behind looks into the back of the one in front, that is, into the area of doors and corridors, balconies and verandas on the other side.
There are 2 beds in the room (+ there is a smaller child, which is removed if it is not needed), a coffee table, armchairs, a higher table (as for work), a plasma TV with 3 Russian channels (music, news and some other), a lot all sorts of lockers, a safe in the room, a table with a mirror and a large soft chair in the corridor, a toilet, a bidet in the bathroom, a bathroom with a shower (does not rotate, it works like a stationary shower) and a faucet to the bathroom. There is a hair dryer. Equipped with shower gel, shampoo, cap, body milk, soap (pieces), cotton buds and pads, hand towel, large bath towel, towel for use in the bidet area. Replenishment of "bath" accessories as they are used. By the way, they are pleasantly smelling and not of poor quality (very often in hotels they are so-so. . you have to carry everything with your own).
By the way, there is also a brush for shoes, and threads. . Well, everything is as usual.
The room also has coffee, tea, dry cream, sugar, cups, kettle, 2 bottles of drinking water daily.
The room is locked with an electronic key.
A couple of hours after check-in, the resettlement manager came in and asked if everything was ok?
Cleaned every day, the bed seems to be changed every other day.
By the way, on the day of check-out at 12-00 your key will stop working. So don't leave your room without checking if you've got everything.
When checking out, do not carry your suitcases, leave them near the room, when you return the keys and a card for towels - tell them to pick up your suitcases.
They will be brought to the entrance to the main building, they will put up a sign with your company (Tez, Pegasus, etc. ), and write down the room number.
By the way, the boys from the hotel also “loaded” us onto the bus, they put everything in the cargo compartment, we didn’t carry anything.
On arrival, we met with the guide Musau (from Tez tour) the next day after arrival, in fact, only at that time they saw him)) he speaks Russian well.
on the day of the meeting on the excursion gives a discount of $ 5. Then, if you need to ask him something, you can call him from the reception, the boys will pick you up. You just need to tell them the name of the guide and the company.
2. hotel.
The hotel, as I mentioned, occupies a fairly decent territory, spread out in breadth, and not up (which is typical for Mars, unlike the same Hurghada). All buildings are 2-story, there are "short" rooms of 8 rooms on all 2 floors, there are 12 rooms, there are long ones 2 of 16 like).
The main building is spacious, with a seating and waiting area in the center (a glass roof overhead in this place, beautiful). The main restaurant has a lot of seating, a terrace for those who wish to eat outside.
On the territory of a large pool of 1650 sq. m. , with footbridges, an area for children, a bar in the center, to which you can swim; fountains, white herons walk around the territory, trying to find some kind of living creature in the green grass.
Pleasant metal sun loungers by the pool, with a soft mattress, the waiters periodically scurry about, asking what to bring you.
Near the hotel, mostly Germans, Italians, Poles, British and all other Europeans sunbathe, our "brother" is mainly at sea.
By the way, the main territory begins, as it were, after the main building, but there are still unfinished buildings and a pool, fountains from the side, as if not reaching the main building, that is, the hotel will still expand and is actively doing it. I didn't hear the construction, it didn't bother me.
The hotel is adjacent to the Resta Reef Resort 4 * (the owners are alone, you can walk everywhere, you can often see sunbathing by the pool with Resta Reef bracelets).
3. nutrition.
The food is good and varied. There are soups, meat, chicken, fish, squid, and various side dishes for every taste (and pasta, and steamed vegetables, and potatoes, etc. ), salads, Italian pizzas, pastas. . Desserts are amazing as always. There is no disadvantage.
Fruits: bananas, apples, oranges, even some strawberries, melons, watermelons, peaches, dates. .
Pay attention, behind the square "podium", where desserts, salads, coffee / tea - local chefs make portioned salads with shrimp and other goodies.
Sauces tend to stand alone, and are not replete with local seasonings. Again, different ones.
I read reviews on English sites (when I didn’t find Russians for this hotel), the British complain that the waiters take a long time to bring them a spoon, then a cup. .
Russians usually don't have such problems. People get up and go for a cup, for example.
Although, the service areas are sort of divided among the waiters, and there are smart ones who run very well and wear everything. We always sat down on the right near the entrance, there the boy will already supply us with juice, which we always drink, and then bring wine, and a napkin, if necessary.
Again, it all depends on the person.
Smile at them, they value a smile as much as a tip.
From 13-30 to 15-30 in the pool bar area, guests were offered ice cream (included in All). There is a white type of creamy, chocolate, mango and strawberry flavors. And believe me, there really came across strawberry seeds)) Delicious.
There are several restaurants on site that offer a la carte meals. fee, but basically there are either romantic romantic foreigners sitting and arranging, or everything is just empty there)). The most interesting thing in this sense is a restaurant by the sea.
4. sea
The beach is spacious, the strip along the coast is about 200m, there are plenty of sunbeds, it is pointless to rush to take a place (as "ours" like).
I had difficulties with swimming because at the time of my arrival the pontoon was destroyed by some recent storm and was still being restored.
By the way, the pontoon is shared with the neighboring 4 * Resta Reef Resort.
The advantages are that when there is not a strong wave, in the presence of special.
shoes, you can safely go to the shore of the reef and swim without a pontoon.
But Mars (and the location of the hotel) are such that there is an open sea, and often they do not allow swimming along the reef so that tourists are not smeared on the reef.
In this sense, it is more convenient to swim from the beach of the neighboring Resta Reef, there is a “puddle”, as we called it, between the shore and the edge of the reef, you can swim and dive quite well. And it is more convenient for children (there are no waves at all), and floating flat. The fish there are also normal, and different. They sometimes hide from the waves too. We saw there both a spotted stingray, and a large black moray eel and light in dark stars, and a lionfish. . and all the other beauties.
From the hotel, when it's stormy, by the way they carry a small extra. a fee to the beach in Abu Dabab (there is an underwater nature reserve, turtles, sea cows live), there is a lagoon, there are no strong waves, like a hotel.
5. excursions
Everything in the room worked properly, the food was good, the towels were clean, all issues were resolved quickly.
if you have any questions about the hotel - write, I will answer with pleasure (Olesya)
