Hello again. Returned from Mars.
As usual, choosing a hotel in Egypt is a rather painstaking task. As always, a million reviews were re-read, but nevertheless, on 11/15/17 the stars were aligned, and now 11/16. we are already at 4.00 in the morning flying in a plane to Marsa Alam.
The budget for two people was set at $ 700, they invested in this amount, including the cost of a visa for two of 50 USD.
So in order.
Room: large, there is where to turn around. The furniture is in good condition, we personally had no complaints. The only thing that is not clear is the presence of a bath in which there is only a standing shower. Everything worked properly. True, if you turned on the tap and hot water did not pour out of it, wait..... )))) it is still there. There are also rooms with three beds. There are more. The condition of the room pleased 4++++. Be sure to take with you at least shampoo, soap-gel only in dispensers near the sink and in the shower. There is a safe, TV, refrigerator. Every day a large bottle of water. To be honest, I never understood if the sheets were changed. Cleaned up well.
WiFi - 3+, ONLY in the lobby at the reception, lame, decent,
Food: Restaurant One
Breakfast: Nothing new here, as always the same set, but this does not mean that there is nothing to choose from, cottage cheese, pancakes, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, vermicelli, sausages, croissants, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, oatmeal, yogurts, balls , flakes, etc.
Dinner. Also, if you don’t immediately try to eat everything in one day, then you can easily find something new. The first dishes were different almost every day, there was always the same fish, cooked the same way. Also, beef, chicken, vegetables - baked, stewed, steamed. There are always two types of soup, regular and mashed potatoes, only potato soup turned out to be not tasty - disgusting... don't try it.
Dinner: Almost every evening dinner was dedicated to some country, but to be honest, in fact, I didn’t really see the difference, as for me, everything is the same)) There was always one dish specially prepared, and not repeated in the last . days (stuffed duck, baked tongue, baked duck, ham, etc. )
Separately, I was pleased with the choice of fruits: melons, apples, dates, guava, pomegranate, physalis - there was even one time, watermelon, oranges, tangerines, grapes. Vegetables, standard: cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, greens, and 5-6 types of salads.
Large selection of puddings - ate enough. And, of course, sweets.
Everything is cooked delicious.
Drinks, standard - yupi, cola, sprite, wine - white, red, rose. I didn’t like red, we didn’t try pink, we mostly drank white. Cocktails are not tasty, because the base is again UPI.
What I'm taking off the rating for is the lunch box. We left the hotel at 4 am, we had to be on the road at 11 o'clock, because. flew from Hurghada. In fact, we should have had at least breakfast, but instead of it a lunch box. So: Two lunches for two people, as it turned out, they were of different configurations, in one there were two long rolls, one with cheese, the second with disgusting sausage, one tomato and one cucumber (the cucumber was rotten, soft and bitter, as it turned out with our neighbors was the same), plus an orange. In the second, there are three round buns, two empty, they were accompanied by honey, butter and jam with plastic braces, and there is nothing to spread on the bun. And one roll with cheese, plus a banana. And water. All. Tip, first, it's better to fly back from Mars, but if it so happened that the return journey through Hurghada, take care of the food yourself. Take at least a day more cheese, fruits, vegetables. You can’t take food out of the restaurant, but if you don’t get impudent, then it’s quite possible.
Territory The hotel is very compact. Four buildings with rooms, In the center of the pool. Most of the rooms face it. In the evening there are no parties near the pool, so it doesn’t bother anyone to relax. In the area of the rooms and the pool, everything is green, grass, palm trees, flowers, etc.
Of the minuses: the pool was not heated (November).
Of the minuses: the area between the beach and the main territory is not finished. It’s not clear how the shower is located on the beach, it was really not convenient to go to him at all, and he was alone there, although there were already 3 such showers around the pool. Here the people carried all the sand from the beach to them.
Work is still underway on the territory of the hotel. Another building is under construction in the backyard.
The nearest hotel is 1 km away, on the other side there is only a desert, where you can walk to an abandoned ship, but don’t flatter yourself, the ship is aground in the sea, and there is still a decent amount of water before it, so you can only look at it from far away, or swim. . . swim. . . swim.... There is nowhere else to go, only excursions.
Aqua park: it is difficult to call it an aqua park, the slides are small, there are only 4 or 5 of them, and even there the water was not at all warm, colder than in the sea.
Entertainment: mini-football, basketball, volleyball basket, aqua aerobics (but in a cold pool, it's not cool), yoga gymnastics and something else, I don't remember.
Every evening, there was a performance in the theater, mainly given by the guys - animators, but there were also invited groups. Actually everything is in English. The guys are great, they always come up with something new. More lotto, disco.
Sea: entry is possible from the beach, but it's only water max to the waist at high tide, but there are fish there, the bottom is a stone - you need safety shoes, or very carefully. To corals, entry from the pier, 30-40 meters is applied. The reef is very beautiful, a lot of all kinds of fish, we saw turtles, stingrays. Depth of meters 9-12. The water is very very warm. But the wind was all the time. We were unlucky, the panton was closed for three days, it was very stormy, we swam only from the beach. The beach is clean and the trash is taken out regularly.
Excursions: We went to one in Abu Dababi, look at the turtles.
Immediately recommendations, if you are going to the turtles, it is better to take a normal mask, and not for snorling, be sure to take a life jacket, if you do not plan to dive to a depth, it takes a very long time to swim, 40 minutes, you really get tired, this is if you have a trip from the shore, but not from the water. But I don’t really understand from the water, because. in order to swim there, you still need to first go by bus, nothing lands near the hotel.
I was also a little annoyed by the number of guys inviting for excursions, but this is my subjective opinion, who cares.
The contingent: Germans, Dutch, Czechs, Poles, Italians, Ukrainians - very few, Russians in general once or twice, Belarusians are also a bit. In general, the hotel is focused on Europeans, all prices are in euros. Try to take everything you need (masks, medicines, creams, etc. ) with you. By the way, our guys ordered fruits and a pharmacy for the guide, and he brought them from Hurghada, cheaper than buying them at the hotel.
Vooot. Probably everything. Like I haven't forgotten anything. I will be glad if my review will help you make the right decision. Generally. the rest was a success, the sea, the sun and good company will always make the rest great.
To sum up: I recommend the hotel. Come, I think you will not regret it.
