Good day everyone! I was on vacation with my husband and I hasten to share my impressions! 4th time in Egypt.
On the first day, a restless mind begins to compare past hotels, and not in favor of Helnan.
I'll start with nutrition: The food itself is edible, it is enough to satisfy hunger, but there is no need to talk about diversity. 5 containers for hot, and several types of salad, 1-2 types of pastries (rarely delicious), fruits - oranges (sometimes not fodder) and astringent dates. Wine is paid. They feed 3 times, there are no snacks anywhere! Fruit bought in the market (to go to the right of the hotel). For those who love to gluttonous thing! Dependence on food by the end of the rest falls thoroughly, which is extremely beneficial for our body! So I appreciated the fat plus in nutrition, especially in relation to my husband!
The room is beautiful for 5, closer to dinner the water pressure drops, but by the evening everything is restored. In order not to disturb mosquitoes, you need to close the damper from the fan in the toilet from the street every evening. Many did not know this. They didn't tip the cleaners, they didn't deserve it.
The nature is amazingly wild, and the Sinai mountains, and the mountains of Saudi Arabia, which were visible at dawn and hidden in the daytime haze, and deserted beaches were appreciated. At sunset, crabs crawled out along the beach like cockroaches, and in the mornings on the shore one could observe the remains of their night hunting: half-eaten fish, squids. You can dive on the pier, just don't touch the lionfish (they will paralyze! ).
And the most important thing! because of what I recommend to go to this hotel - it's CORAL GARDENS!!! ! They are not near the shore, so buy fins (they cost about 8 dollars there, they took them in Nuweiba). Nearby in the BAZAR store and charges up to 26, a mask with a snorkel cost us $ 10. All salespeople are very friendly and not intrusive.
I had to overcome many fears in order to swim out into the open sea, swim across the abyss, but as a reward, the Red Sea generously shared its beauties (I have never seen such a miracle in any coral reserve! . So much adrenaline! The farther from the coast, the larger and more exotic the fish and the coral gardens are magnificent!
There are no guards and buoys anywhere, so swim wherever you want, you can walk along the coast unlimitedly far!
As we understood, the hotel serves as a transshipment base for pilgrims, so there is no animation in it, etc. Whom we just didn’t see: Indians, Kenyans, Englishmen, our nuns in black! The main guests were about 10 Germans and 20 Russians. Apparently, because of the wild conditions, we all became friends and lived like one family, like in a pioneer camp! It was very fun and heartfelt! Our joy knew no bounds when, on the fourth blissful day, animators were sent to us, morning stretching, aqua aerobics, belly dancing and a lot of music began, especially on the beach, thanks to the bartender Said! I do not know how long these animators arrived, given that before our arrival they were not in sight!!! ! So Helnan received us very sincerely, and we spent unforgettable days in this hotel!
