We just returned from Safaga yesterday. The vacation met our expectations, although we chose it based on reviews (do not trust the reviews, because some people only look for flaws without noticing the advantages). We went through TezTour, they are especially grateful, their guides are so attentive to tourists. we just entered the airport building, immediately fell under the care of guides from TezTour, who handed us over to each other until the bus that took us to our hotel. Moreover, they explained how much to pay for a visa, what paper to tear off, where the bus to our hotel is he had a number. And they spoke Russian understandably. You only need to be attentive yourself.
I liked the hotel right away, starting with the cool hall. Not by fashion, but by calmness, oriental motifs of the interior, a beautiful view from the hall to the territory, the friendliness of the staff. At the reception they spoke very good Russian.
Room 248 was on the first floor, with a small porch (2 armchairs and a table) overlooking the garden. 100 meters to the beach. They didn’t give anything to anyone in their passport. The entire hotel area can be called one big garden. , original lamps. Yes, the room is not new, but clean, tidy, spacious (16-18 sq. m. ) Air conditioning is not new, but quite decent. , nothing was leaking. Hot and cold water is uninterrupted. And we had a non-working old refrigerator-bedside safe. But it did not affect the rest, we did not notice it.

The territory is a well-groomed garden. Everything is original: jugs are urns, clay lamps, stone paths, paths, waterfalls, huge cacti, 2 pools, palm trees and flowering trees. Yes, the tiles are chipped, the jugs are cracked, but they were lost on against the background of eternal greenery. In the evening, walking in such a garden is a real pleasure.
The food was very tasty and varied. Meat, chickens, sausages, omelettes, vegetables, salads, sweets, side dishes, pastries, yogurts, sauces, juice, beer, in foreign countries, cola. 07-09 breakfast, 13-15 lunch, 19-22 dinner. There was enough of everything. Of course, if you come to the end of dinner, there will not be such a choice, but it is impossible to stay hungry.
The sea is nothing to say here. The water is plus 29, and transparent. The beach is sandy, 200 meters, clean sand, there are cigarette butts, but you can ignore them. Wooden trestle beds, with mattresses, beach towels on top. shabby, but comfortable to lie on. And palm trees grow on the beach, pleasant greenery. On the nearby beach of the Meneville hotel, the beach is without palm trees, somehow bare and deserted.
Mostly Russians-60%, Germans-20% rest in the hotel, the rest are Ukrainians, Czechs, Poles, Belarusians. Young Germans behave simply uncivilized. without asking, or rather not taking into account those around us. Our family with small children was having lunch at the next table, and the Germans were sitting in a noisy company and after eating they all smoked. I had to ask them not to smoke, pointing to the children. They were surprised at the request, but stopped smoking. On the beach, cigarette butts are poked into the sand, cups are left where they were sitting.
In the evening it is very pleasant to sit on soft sofas near the large pool. Quiet, calm, comfortable.
The hotel is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday, namely relaxation, not entertainment. For an active holiday, for an additional fee, you can find excursions for every taste and budget. From 30 to 350 dollars per person. There are a lot of children of different ages. And the staff is equally attentive to everyone.

We did not see mosquitoes, lizards, cockroaches or other uncomfortable living creatures. To do this, every evening all the bushes were treated with some kind of thick smoke from a roaring installation. But this is not long, you can simply ignore it. There are flies on the beach, but where They are not here.
They walked around the entire territory - there are no landfills, no construction sites. Everything is well-groomed, cleaned.
Animators did not interest us.
In a word, who wants to RELAX among the beautiful nature, you are at the Lotus Way Hotel in Safaga.
