We rested from 9 to 23.10. 10 in Egypt 5 times. Were in the Reef oasis Blue Bay and Coral these in Sharm, Radison Taba, Break Bay Marsa. The territory of the hotel and its design are very good. I really liked the lazy river and the huge lagoon with sea water and water jets. The beach is huge, as a total of these Coral and Baron in Sharm. Very beautiful reef, especially the corals in Port galiba bay on the Intercontinental beach. Many and varied fish. True, there are few stingrays and moray eels, but more often than in Break there were turtles, almost every day. There is no need to go on a boat trip to the coral garden, everything is nearby. For 11 dolars in a hotel taxi, you can take a trip to the bay of Barrack Mars. There are some huge turtles there. Very calm and trusting. We saw several eagle rays, handsome ones, but they didn’t let them get close. There is a small reef where thousands of fry hide. Cuttlefish. There is nothing to go to Abu Dabab for $40. Not that the manatee, but people who saw the manatee there, have not been seen for a long time. The standard room is the smallest of all visited, but cozy. Decorated in Bedouin style, with all sorts of bells and whistles. Everything new and working. Cleaning timely, no show off. Baksheesh did not affect its quality. The service is different - and friendly-smiling. And scornfully impudent until you put it in its place. They are cowardly, then afraid and respected. Port Ghalib itself is beautiful, pathetic, a little bit and for one evening. Now about the sad and stupid. On the whole huge beach there is one shower, one toilet and one bar, 150 meters away from the sunbeds, starting to stomp for a beer or a drink in the heat, and then back is not very fun. The bar did not work periodically, which is generally a disgrace for 5 stars. True, beer and wine are bottled, and juices from tetrapacks. The bar on the beach is supposedly a Cardamom a la carte restaurant. But he worked only during the Faberlic invasion, so that ordinary guests could eat in peace. Then it closed. The declared fast food with ice cream also did not work. Ice cream was only once in the main restaurant. The rest of the time in Cardamom you could get it from a well-fed waiter. That is, the declared snacks, the number of restaurants, bars and ice cream are lies on the part of the administration, repeated by tour operators. Of course they were not hungry, but why lie? The main restaurant is shared by two hotels Sahara and Oasis, and was very cramped during corporate visits, although this is just a full occupancy of the hotel. This is the first hotel to have no bananas and is a bit on the low end for the usually chic selection of pastries and sweets. I repeat - there was enough food, but it was less pleasing to the eye. More than a strange mode of operation of the bars. Beach and pool - until sunset. But there were shows by the pool. And the bar would work, but. . . In the restaurant until 22-30. After that, only the lobby bar and that one until 23. Animashki - no way. We knew that the hotel accepts corporate parties, but we did not think that to such an extent. 1000 representatives of Faberlic - that's something! CIS women in all their glory with mass herd mentality and mass psychosis. An entertaining and tense show. But these are our aunts. What else to expect? Four days of rest and hit by about 500 peasants from all over Russia, representatives of the chewing and selling industry. Surprisingly, they behaved more calmly, sportily. But it's a shame for them too. The company paid for a full meal, and the administration hides fruits, the assortment of food becomes scarce, they are crushed in the bar. And finally - the representative of Pegasus Amin - a rare soul pi... ace. We arrived at the hotel at 22-30, the restaurant is closed, there is no dinner, because the Pegasus representative did not warn. At the introductory meeting, he did not really tell anything about the hotel, nor about the rules of conduct on land and in water for first-time visitors, nor about excursions. But he threw a tantrum due to the fact that the person sat down closer to him, and after his remark, sat down in the back row. In the future - no help and assistance. Clever Lucia, a Russian woman at the reception, who will listen, and help, and fight with the administration. Thank her very much. In general, more positive impressions remained from Breaky Bay, but we drove to the sea, its beauties. They received them.
