Rested family with children 5 and 2 years from 1.09. 2010 to 12.09. 2010.
In Egypt, the third time - with the children of the second, there is something to compare.
The tour operator TEZTUR proved to be excellent, except for the fact that the flight “there” was postponed for 2 hours for 15 minutes several times, but this is already a problem for the air carrier (Dniproavia), and not for the tour operator. We flew normally, met - we were taken very quickly to the hotel, settled in 10 minutes (we gave $ 20) in an excellent room near the pool (416). From the room - 20 meters to the pool and 50 meters to the sea, but to the restaurant and reception - far away.
TERRITORY. The territory of the hotel is very green, beautiful, well-groomed. However, there are not so many purely specific trees for Egypt - palm trees. The greenery is very diverse - differently trimmed trees of various shapes, shrubs, cacti.
The territory is very large, I would say of the correct form, but the space is divided by numerous paths, fences made of bushes, walls made of plants. Therefore, it seems that there are no or very few people in the hotel (although people can walk along parallel paths that are not visible). This makes the stay calm and quiet.
ROOM. Everything in the room is simple but comfortable. There were 3 beds - at my request to bring another cot for the second child - it turned out, in fact, 2 plus 2. Even with 4 full-fledged beds, it was possible to walk around the room, and even run (! ) It was possible. There are simple rugs on the floor - but not slippery. The refrigerator is a real one, not a small minibar, with a freezer. Not the camera, but the refrigerator itself froze so that the plums froze into stone )
The door is wooden, the window is the same, but with an ordinary mosquito net, the furniture is unpretentious, but comfortable.
The bathroom pleased me - a small, but still a real bath, there were plenty of towels, separately soap and shampoo at the rate of 1 per day per person, a shower cap was put 2 times.
They cleaned very well, to the conscience - however, we left a tip - every day we waited with interest for them at lunch, going to the door after the beach, “what did uncle build for us today? ” There were banal swans, and swans in an inflatable vest, and 2 swans on rubber rings, and flowers, and even a crocodile for a snack!
On the terrace there are plastic chairs, a table - they played dice there during the day while the baby was sleeping: a view of the pool, 20 meters from the bar.
BEACH. The beach is long, there are a lot of umbrellas, located at a great distance (10-15 meters from each other), there are wind protections starting from the 2nd-3rd row. There are no fences under the umbrellas closest to the sea (this is also 20 meters from the water), but you can take these mats yourself and build such a fence for yourself. We did this 1 time and then spent time on the first line with protection from the wind.
The sea is excellent, even my children liked to swim, who a year ago floundered only in the pool. But you need to choose places where there are no stones, but it is better to swim in shoes. In principle, there are such places, but if the wind blows, the waves are blown away and you can end up in the area of stones.
Coral reefs stretch along the coast, and divers' tubes always stick out around them - there is something to see! For example, I learned from an experienced diver that a huge blue fish (about 50 cm long) “comes” here at a certain time (about 11 am), then she herself fed it with bread. And my daughter was generally delighted with the underwater world and constantly asked me to go to the reefs with her.
On the beach sometimes they go with offers of massage excursions, but not critical.
Umbrellas are large, there is enough shade for several sun loungers, plus a piece of sand for children to play in the sand. By the way, in some places along the beach we found ownerless buckets, but we also played with our own.
FOOD. There is only one main restaurant, it serves breakfast and lunch. Dinner is always held outside, and this is its special charm! Before the trip, I read that there are flies at dinner, if there is no wind - I have never noticed in 12 days. We really enjoyed! Quiet atmosphere, light music is playing, the breeze is blowing, next to it is a large screen, on which at 8.30 they start showing Tom and Jerry for the kids, while the adults rest quietly. On the other side of the stage (at 8 o'clock 3 times a week there is a children's disco, then animation). That is, you don’t have to go anywhere - everything is together, which is very convenient.
I will not describe the food - it is probably not much different from the food in other Egyptian fours. For 12 days there were 3 times squid, 2 times crabs, quail twice, and twice some birds, in my suspicion, pigeons - by the way, very tasty! There is a lot of sweets only in the evening, at lunch - 4-5 types of cakes. Fish always, meat (chicken and beef) always. Soup - 2 types - always at lunch and in the evening. Fruits - 3-4 types of these: pears (!!! ), grapes, guava, grapefruit, melon, banana.
For dinner, an obligatory dish from the chef - baked fish, liver, shawarma (!!! ) - I really did not expect such a stir for her, as well as for french fries several times!
Drinks in the morning and afternoon are self-service, in the evening they are delivered to order.
In the morning - black, green, mint, anise tea, be sure to eat cold and hot milk. You pour yourself.
At lunch, the line for drinks is small - all drinks are signed, in principle, this does not bother. Juices from packages - orange, mango and guava. There is also UPI
In addition to the main restaurant, there is also, it seems, a fish restaurant (we did not go) and a cafe AMALIA. There from 16 to 17.30 you can drink tea or coffee with buns on the all-inclusive system. At other times, from 10 am - you can eat pizza and generally eat if necessary for money (we did not have such a need). We went for tea 2 times to somehow spend time outside the pool and the sea (in the first days the children had acclimatization - cough).
Bars - by the pool, on the beach, bar "Cactus" from 19.00. In principle, during the day, no bars and restaurants are open only from 18 to 19, but 1 hour, I think, can be tolerated
ANIMATION. Animation was, but weak. Three animators - "Mr. Catastrophe" (gymnastics, water gymnastics, water polo, dancing), Sandra from Germany - in the kids club plus a children's disco, also helps the first one, and Eva in the kids club (middle-aged Polish woman, who speaks good Russian, gets along well with children). I won’t say anything about an adult disco - we didn’t go. Perhaps there was something.
Very good children's animation and general conditions for children. There are 3 playgrounds, an excellent kids club, a children's slide in the pool. However, everything is designed, as it seemed to me, for children from 2-3 years old, not quite small. The children's section in the pool is not 35, but 70 cm, a slide with the inscription STEP 2.
The contingent was mostly Russian, there was a couple from Ukraine, Belarusians, Poles, Germans.
DEPARTURE. Departure was scheduled for 21.00 - moved to 23.50. Departure from the hotel at 20.20. We extended the room until 18.00 so that the baby could sleep peacefully during the day. Since we arrived in the evening, we were allowed to have lunch on the day of departure - after that, the bracelets were cut off. The guide warned that if you do not cut off after dinner, you can be fined. We did not take risks, especially since we already had 5 bottles of Pepsi, a liter of juice and 5 bottles of plain water. We also stocked up on food from dinner (in principle, it is not allowed to take it out, but no one watches it), so we ate on the beach at 7 pm and left quietly. Air carrier "Wind Rose" - a new aircraft, leather seats, separate food for the infant. We flew normally - September 13 at 4 am - from summer to autumn
