хороший отель с прекрасным рифом nice hotel with great reef

1. Check-in: as in all hotels for extra. fee offer a good room. We were given a room at no extra charge, also quite good with a sea view. The room is clean, bed linen is not changed, only they are remade, towels are changed if you throw them on the floor.
2. Food: normal, there were fish and crabs, meat and a standard menu in principle. Considering that there are a lot of Egyptians now resting, that is, there are nuances : ) who is the first one and slippers, as they say - there are a lot of them and they eat too (by the way, when they were in the restaurant, the queue was only for an omelet, and when they all left and stayed some of ours then immediately queue for everything....).
3. Internet: only in the lobby. from the room connection to the neighboring hotel but does not work. Yes, and in the lobby is not always good....Internet works intermittently, at lunchtime and at night quite well.

4. Sea: a large beach, there are enough sunbeds for everyone, there are both awnings and umbrellas on the beach, a bar, etc. The shower is a little inconvenient - it's far to go to rinse after the sea. There is a small piece of the sea for kids, you can splash around but not swim. The reef is very beautiful and saw moray eel and stingray and Napoleon and so on.
5. Separately, I want to pay attention to excursions. We had an anex tour operator, I won’t say anything bad about them, but we had a terrible guide - Samir. Everything is good, he does his job and this is understandable - he offers excursions and talks about the hotel, where and how. But there is BUT. Now, given the recent events, security measures have allegedly been strengthened (I personally didn’t notice anything - the police checkpoints were still there), namely, that if you want to go on a yacht ride or go to the desert, you need permission (two stamps on the voucher are blue and red), and at the same time, the guide takes your passport tickets and, like, makes you register without which you can’t go anywhere, and if you go somewhere the police will stop you and there may be a fine because there is no registration. By the way, no one stops, asks nothing and no permission stamps are needed. We went every day to the city and around the city, to Tiran on a yacht, on a motorcycle safari, and nowhere did anyone check anything in terms of stamps. From this it follows that this is a swindler so that tourists buy excursions only from a hotel guide and right now. Aaaaa, this permission on the voucher (two seals) can only be done until 15:00 by the guide and it is valid only on a certain day of the excursion, and when you fill out some form, enter the excursions that you want to visit and on which day, and if you don’t take excursions from the guide, write that you won’t go anywhere without permission - this is very funny, since this piece of paper does not have information about any permissions, prohibitions, etc. - it only concerns excursions (you won’t take excursions, but of course there will be a discount for you ; ) ). I say that on the day of the meeting with the guide, it coincided quite by chance that the tour operator had an anniversary, and so on. If you generally want to go somewhere and still take excursions, then finally there is no problem. It’s also bad that this “registration” of the guide and his speech lasted 2 hours, it doesn’t fit into any gates - instead of being on the beach on the 1st day of rest and sunbathing for 2 hours, you are forced to sit waiting for registration, and if you express dissatisfaction you will also receive in response "talk pozhyayayayayalyusta normally. " Regarding excursions, a bus always picks you up, if you are not traveling from a hotel guide but through another company, then keep in mind that there will be many Egyptians, this is not bad, it’s bad that they are all very slow and, accordingly, the exact time is not about them - maybe the bus will arrive later , there's nothing to be done, there is even a joke about the "Egyptian time" - no one is in a hurry and everyone is very slow. For our person, this is a kind of stress : ) with our rhythm of life, this is incomprehensible.
6. Check-out: everything is standard at 12:00, but if you have a flight in the evening, then you can be and eat on the beach without any problems.
7. Where to go in the evening: in addition to the hotel, there are many more places where to have fun. Unfortunately, the lack of tourists affects, for example, not all discos work every day. There is Naama Bay - where in any cafe you can sit, smoke a hookah, drink fresh and chu, at this time you will be entertained by local "artists", you can dance.

8. If you are not too lazy and walk or drive to the Pyramissa hotel - it's not far (if you stand on the beach on the right you will see many yachts and there is a blue boat on the shore) - on the beach near this hotel in the evening you can sit in a cafe to smoke a hookah. very quiet and calm, also during the day and in the evening there on the beach you can take an excursion for every taste and at good prices (no matter what hotel you are in, the bus will come for you), ask Saeed.
