This third trip to Egi was dictated by 3 reasons: to walk my mother, walk the child before school (after all, the end of summer) and take a break from working days. The hotel was chosen for these purposes, small, quiet, with good territory and reviews. Stopped at the Hilton Nuweiba. And did not regret it! The transfer from the airport took 2.5 hours. Mom during this period managed to see what the Sinai Peninsula is like, 35 times to ask, where is the sea? , and marvel at the lifestyle of the local Bedouins . At the hotel we were greeted with a smile, wet cool towels, they gave us the keys to the room and took our luggage and led us to the room. It took 10 minutes for everything. I didn't give money to my passport. Before the trip, I found out that there are 3 types of rooms: standard (2nd, 3rd floors of buildings), superior (1st floor), and bungalows (separate houses, located closer to the beach, have their own swimming pool). I took a superior, for 3 of them it is great, more in area due to the missing balcony.
The child was laid out a sofa on which she slept like a princess, while there was still enough space. The room was in the second building (2010), everything was clean, it worked, upon arrival in the refrigerator Pepsi, 7ap, and 3 bottles of water for 0.5 each (then they gave out one every day, but 1.5 l). In the bathroom gadgets with gel, shampoo, body lotion, the supply was replenished without reminders (I really liked the shampoo, I didn’t even get it). There is a tea and coffee set. The porter received his $2 and left satisfied. In 10 minutes. they knocked on our door and clarified whether everything was in order, after my remarks about the absence of an opener for drinks, in fact, tea and coffee itself, everything was provided right there. After unpacking, we went on a tour of the hotel. We liked the territory, small, but very green, walking along neat paths, like in a park. The beach strip is wide, sun loungers, umbrellas stand at a decent distance from each other.
There is a shower and a dressing room. There is a mini-golf course by the beach. Also on the beach there is a playground for the little ones, partly under a canopy, which is not bad, I think. There is a children's room near the pool. Only 2 pools, one near the main restaurant, the second, as I wrote, near the bungalow. Both paddling pools, manyunya, are a big fan of water procedures with diving, in them during the entire stay there was only 1 time, so that it would be noted. But if you and your child do not know how to swim, then just right. There are only 3 residential buildings, about the same distance from them to the beach, only the 1st is closer to the pool, reception and the main restaurant. In the evening, animation programs are held by the pool until 23, so decide for yourself where to stay. We were even very pleased with the 2nd Corps. Restaurants 3: main, open Italian, and for a fee at the end of the beach. In the main you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Drinks are brought by waiters. Dinner is always grilled. Never had a line for food! The choice of dishes is not large, but most of them are delicious. There is a children's table. The Italian restaurant is located on an open terrace, where you can dine, prepare sandwiches, pizza, french fries. We were not in the restaurant for a fee, but visitors were observed in it. For hookah lovers there is a shisha bar, with a pleasant hookah man, the guy makes excellent coffee and prepares delicious milk-lime cocktails.
The next morning we plunged into a wonderful day of relaxation. In the morning, the beach, if you make friends with beach fights (Ahmed and Abdellah), they will take you sunbeds on the beach closer to the sea, even without a tip. But not occupied loungers, I watched even at 10 am. The entrance to the sea is gentle, sandy. You can safely splash around with the kids. There are tiny reef islands.
In the morning, you can catch a turtle peacefully grazing in the algae, under the pier, whole hordes of fish, which are periodically scared away by a meter-long barracuda. To the left, outside the hotel, towards Elaria Beach, there is a decent reef, but I didn’t swim, I didn’t want to drag the child, but I didn’t find any company. Tourists told about it more boldly. At lunch, when the sun baked mercilessly even under an umbrella, they hid in the room. Then after 15 you can again go to sea. After dinner, the program is standard: pool bar, hookah, relaxation on the pier with backlight. I never went to the disco, even though the music rumbled there every evening. You can take a taxi from the hotel and go to Nuweiba for shopping, or to Dahab. We went to Nuweiba, the prices there are better than in the shops at the hotel. If I were with my husband, I would go to Dahab, but my mother is afraid of everything 4; .
Of the excursions, they took only a walk on a yacht, departed from Taba, at the Helnan Taba Bay Hotel (3 stops, the most beautiful reef near the island of the Pharaohs, and near the Fjord, but didn’t really see it, lagged behind the group, and almost climbed onto another yacht) . In general, 9 beautiful quiet days of vacation. The most important thing for me is that the child was happy, it was impossible to pull out of the water, the mask was taken by force! And my mother fell in love with the Bedouin camel George, and every day she stuffed rolls into him, I was already afraid that she would drag him onto the plane. From the bad, only 2 freaks from the Beach bar are remembered, they were in the Pool bar in the evening, evil, boorish types, one was called, it seems Vasim. True, in contrast to them, there was a cheerful bartender, unfortunately, I forgot the name, he called all the Russian speakers “bunny”, it’s a pity I didn’t have time to thank him, he suddenly left home.

And another pleasant moment - the child loves coffee with milk, at a cocktail party with the hotel management she expressed regret that there was no milk. Upon returning to the room, a liter carton of milk was in the refrigerator!

Summary: this hotel should have a beautiful house reef - and it would not be worth the price!
Whom I recommend: romantic couples, families with children, lovers of quiet rest.
