Thanks to the operator Join Up. The only operator with flights to Marsa Alam Airport from Kyiv. If you go to this hotel through Hurghada, you lose almost 2 days of rest.

It took 2.5 hours to get to the hotel from the airport with stops at other hotels. Be aware that guides and drivers call this hotel among themselves Lahmi Azur. When I was looking for my bus and called Wadi Lakhmi, until the guide came up, the drivers could not figure out where to take me.

Thank God you don't have to go to meet the guide. This is a hotel for hard-nosed sea lovers.

Arrived at the hotel at 7:15. The hotel does not accept check-in. We were immediately taken to breakfast, after which they immediately gave the keys and took us to the room. In the room, be sure to ask the escort with you to open and close the safe, so as not to call someone later. In my safe, you had to press a button in a special way. And while the maintainer did not show, nothing worked.


Luggage brought in 5 minutes. Room 1627 with sea view. The furniture is new. The shower is very good, with a side.
Only liquid soap and shower gel. Bring your own if you need to.

The fumigator was not needed. The building is located next to the dive center. To the sea 50 m.

HOTEL FEATURES

1. Hotel with SOFT food - that is, without alcohol. Because of this, vouchers are 120 dollars cheaper (3000 UAH). Nice savings with great conditions

2. You need at least a little knowledge of English/German/Italian. Or download Google translator on your gadget. Without a language, it will be difficult to solve the problem if it appears.

3. A huge plus of the hotel - You can swim ALWAYS AND EVERYWHERE. Even when the red flag, even when the waves. The employee at the pier will try to forbid (such as a strong wind), but when you start to prove to him that you want to snorkel, he simply says that you accept responsibility and at the same time writes down the room number.

4. A huge plus of the hotel is the STAFF. Previously, I thought the best staff at 3 corners of Fairows. Wadi Lakhmi Azur is much better.
They help you in everything, on their own initiative, they don’t even wait for a request from you. A couple of examples:

- She came from Sataya with three bags - a snork bag, a bag with a towel and the necessary little things, a bag of mangoes. Already on my way to the room. The manager came and took all the bags and brought them to the room. I freaked out. Here is the service!

- At 6 am, putting a towel and things on the sunbed, sailed away for 3 hours. Went out for breakfast. After I go up to the sunbed, the beachboy says something excitedly. I didn’t understand a damn thing, I thought I was swearing. And he ran and brought the mattress, straightened the towel. Said, "No problem. " Apparently he was worried that things were lying for so long, but I was gone, I thought the shark ate))). Usually I am absent for 1.5-2 hours in the morning, but here it was almost 4 hours away.


5. If you are a woman and arrived alone, then you will definitely be accommodated in a new three-story building. Don't even try to ask for something else.
They argue that the new rooms are of an improved type and in the building there are security and cameras on the floor, like they are worried about our safety.

6. The restaurant does not have air conditioning. Everyone eats on the terrace of the restaurant. There are fans that do not help much in the heat. And if breakfast and dinner are comfortable, then at lunchtime, the heat is 35-40 degrees, and it is very difficult to eat. However, you know that again in a swim for 1.5-2 hours and you will be hungry in the water, you have to stuff food. That is, lunch on vacation is not a pleasure, but a test)))

When I was leaving and the manager asked if I would come again, I said no and described the problem with the restaurant. The manager said that you should have just ASKED TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER inside the restaurant, and not endure the torment !! ! So just ask to turn on the air conditioner and have fun while eating)))

7. You can always swim in the pools. I didn't swim, I just saw Germans or Italians hang out there at night.

NUTRITION. Very good.
Not great when 5 types of meat and 2 types of fish. But just very good, fresh and high quality. 2 types of meat and one fish were always (except for breakfast), not to mention other dishes. Just good quality food

BEACH. SEA.

There are always sunbeds. Bring mattresses. Towel card with your room number.

Very comfortable stairs - descent from the pier. Near the stairs there are boxes for shoes and small things.

Came to the beach at 6:30 hotel time. The first day came at 5:30. Made a swim in the direction of the mangroves. In my opinion, it shouldn't be so early. The sun is not high yet. Corals are gray, do not play with colors. Beauty begins with sufficient light, after 7:30-8:00


THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CORALS IN MARS. Was in Shams, 3 corners of fairuz, Sunrise, Mubarak, Abu Dabab, Sharm el Luli. Really the corals are the most beautiful here. Some corals seen for the first time. In terms of living creatures - a lot, but "not under the nose. " Even simple Nemo fish were at a depth of about a meter and a half.
By the way, only one couple on the entire coast. Apparently the waves do not allow the fish to rise to the surface. Napoleons almost every day, but at a depth of a meter to 5 meters - you can’t hug)))

Very decent lagoons. Two moray eels live there, a crocodile fish, a barracuda comes in, we saw a shark (I was not lucky with the shark), not counting the rest of the little things - lionfish, boxfish, triggers, etc.

Turtles only on the outer reef. Somehow in one day I met with six turtles, first 2, then three, after dinner another one.

If you swim to the left from the pier, then it is interesting to the unfinished hotel - beautiful corals, urchin fish, etc. There is no point in sailing further. I swam to the pier of an abandoned hotel, in my opinion, Zobargan is a waste of time and effort.

Summary. The hotel is a must for sea lovers. And whether to repeat - decide for yourself.
