The hotel was offered by the agency, as the price arranged did not particularly choose. I knew that the hotel was 4 * and did not build any special illusions. We met and drove well and quickly (15 minutes from the airport). Arrived late in the evening, first offered to go for dinner, and then settled.
When buying a tour, I asked not to settle on the 1st floor, they fulfilled and even clarified whether it was my wishes. The room suited me perfectly, everything I needed was and worked. Upon check-in, they may offer to pay extra for a room with a sea view of $ 10 per day, with a view of the pool $ 5. I didn't pay anything and don't regret it. The room overlooked the next 5 and you could connect to WI-FI, you could see the sea from the balcony. The furniture in the room is not new, but quite decent. They write that bed linen and towels are not new - yes, it is. They came to clean every day - sometimes they said that it was not necessary, then they just left water (2 bottles of 0.5 each).
The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Everything is in bloom, the bushes are trimmed neatly - many thanks to the staff.
The food at the hotel is not very good, but you won't go hungry. Bad choice at breakfast. Few fruits, drinks like everywhere else. There are 3 restaurants (they work in turn: fish, Italian, oriental), I advise you to go only to Italian, you can not waste time on the rest. Recording at the reception from 10 to 12, it is better to approach 10 (especially if you want to get into Italian, the number of places is limited).
The most remarkable thing about this hotel is the sea and the reef. The pontoon is about 10 meters deep, immediately deep (for those who cannot swim). From the left of the pontoon in the morning you could see a stingray. Every day big Napoleons sailed, you could even stroke, they themselves substituted the abdomen. In the morning, the Rafa beach worker lured the fish and we swam like in an aquarium. They also swam with him to another reef - also a cool sight. The beach bar is open from 10:00, there are only drinks. Towels can be borrowed both on the beach and by the pool. I can’t say anything about the pools - I never swam and didn’t even have a desire.
WI-FI in the hotel lobby is very weak - consider it non-existent.
Animation, well, it's rather amateur performance - nothing special.
After 23:00 the hotel freezes, no discos and entertainment.
You can walk to Soho (5-8 minutes walk), everything is there. Shops, restaurants, a nightclub, a skating rink, a singing fountain (open at 20.21 and 22 every inclusion of 15 minutes). Soho has very good WI-FI, when you connect, you will be transferred to the page for entering an email address, anyone will do.
Excursions - it's up to you.
Diving: if this is your first time, check at home whether you can dive. I only found out on the yacht that I was not allowed. There are about 10 points that will not allow you to dive. There is no doctor on the yacht and you will be far from the shore (about 1.5 hours sailed). Plus, you sign a questionnaire, according to which you yourself are to blame for everything, if something happens. When selling, guides do not tell anything and, accordingly, no one will return the money to you. In response to my remark that this is not a professional job, Anexa Ragab, an employee, said: “I myself am to blame for everything, I had to come up and ask. I don’t have to tell everyone everything”!! ! I want to note that I did not even raise the issue of a refund. After that, he will not even look in your direction - you are his enemy number 1.
Jerusalem: be prepared for the fact that you will not see everything from the announced program. It all depends on customs clearance. The group in which my friend was was kept for almost 6 hours, so there was not enough time for everything (they didn’t go to the Jordan). At the request of the tourists not to go to the souvenir shop, the guide generally began to shout at them and said that she was being checked and this was in the program, and at all stops she allowed herself to scream and raise her voice. Also pay attention to the fact that if customs does not let you through, then the money will not be returned. A tour for 1 day costs $115, and $60-70 will be returned (check immediately). And do not go on an excursion on holidays for Egypt - they will rush to return back earlier, since the Egyptian customs closes earlier.
On holidays, many Egyptians rest in the hotel - noise, din, the restaurant is not very clean.
My vacation was a success. Take with you a good mood and enjoy your holiday.
