We have been staying at this hotel since 29.01. 12 to 05.02. 12 via Tez Tour. There were no problems with the flight. At the airport at customs, after a smile and the phrase "Please, put Sinai stamp", the customs officer, gritting his teeth, gave us a Sinai stamp. Then we loaded onto the Tez tour bus and quietly drove to the hotel. The Tez tour bus had free Wi-Fi, but the speed was very slow.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were asked to fill out all the necessary paperwork, and while they settled us in our rooms, the Teztur guide took us to dinner.
The territory of the hotel. The hotel area is huge. Lots of different slides. Everything is very beautiful. By the way, not all of the 9 pools are heated, as some descriptions say. If I'm not mistaken, there are only 3 heated pools (the main one is large, with artificial freestyle and children's) and Niagara slides, but that was enough. All slides are open from 10 am until sunset (approximately at 17.00). There are many Russians in the hotel, but there are also English, Germans, Italians.

The hotel rooms are divided into several buildings. Mostly boring Englishmen and other tourists like them are accommodated in bungalows))
Number. They put us in a bungalow for one night, saying that it was a gift from the hotel. It was nice. The room was luxurious and large. We liked it. Next to the bungalow there is a swimming pool, but without heating and around a fairly quiet environment. The next day, I tried to extend our stay in the bungalow, hinting to the person at the reception that I was ready to throw him a couple of dozen boxes for this, but he refused, citing the fact that everything was busy further. Promised to give us a good quiet standard without charging a cent. I did not deceive))) Then we lived in a room next to the main restaurant. The standard is smaller than the bungalow, but quite spacious. Thanks to this dude for the room)) The water in the refrigerator was updated every day.
And if this is not enough, then you can ask for it in bottles in almost all hotel bars for free.
Nutrition. We ate mainly in the main restaurant, because it was closer, but sometimes we visited the rest. The food is quite varied and tasty. There is no such variety at home))) By the way, their juices resemble those diluted from powder. As far as I understand, this is the case in all of Egypt. If you smile and communicate politely with the bartenders, then you can get more alcohol at a time)) Simply put, as you treat them, so they treat you.
Beach. The beach of the hotel is a calm step for 7 minutes or you can take a free bus that runs every 15-20 minutes from the reception. If you want to enjoy the beauty of corals and a variety of fish, then you should walk to the left of the hotel's beach behind the white police box, where the wild beach is located. Many tourists go there. We used to go there every day. In addition, you can save on excursions with a bathyscaphe, because
he shows tourists the same coral reef along a wild beach just for money. Having swum with a mask, this beauty will be available to you for free))

Behind the hotel. Outside the hotel, at the main entrance to it, there are several cafes and shops where you can smoke a hookah for $ 2-3 or buy everything you need for swimming, as well as food and fruits. If you are planning to walk around the city, then check with the Teztur guide for an adequate price for a taxi. So we went to the Old Market or El Mercato for $2 one way. By the way, they need to bargain not only in the markets, but also with taxi drivers. The price goes down several times! First, negotiate a price. Then eat and only then pay at the exit.
One day we decided to go to Israel for 1 day. The tour was taken from the local agency Gena and Cheburashka. Everyone did well. The difference from the Tez tour is only in price. It came out 2 times cheaper.
In Israel, buying souvenirs and other things is not in those shops where the guide leads, but nearby. There is usually a price 2-3 times lower)))
By the way, do not lie to those who say that it is impossible to enter Israel according to the Sinas stamp! Themselves went on a stamp! No problems!

In summary, I want to say that there were no problems on vacation! Everyone liked it very much! I advise you to learn a few phrases in Arabic before the trip, such as Hello, Thank you, Goodbye. They love it)) And one more thing - do not let the Arabs touch our women. Even a simple handshake with a woman is a sign of licentiousness among the Arabs.
We plan to return to this hotel again. Have a nice holiday and leave all the negativity at home! ! ! )))
