Hello everyone! I’ll sleep with the fact that the minus of this hotel is the beach, as it is a very shallow pontoon and very few fish and corals, but a little to the right is a good pontoon of the Azur hotel, but they are not always allowed there, but go over the bridge about 1 km. If you all the same, if you decide to go there, don’t take your towels, don’t burn yourself)))) they don’t let you in from other hotels.
Now about the good)))))).
I went to Egypt to rest for the first time and I am delighted with everything... from the country, from the Arabs (they are really very friendly and the girls don’t believe that they are preoccupied, this is not so), from the hotel, territory, staff, rooms and in principle of animators.

And now more about everything. The country is really very exotic, warm, everywhere there are palm trees and everything is very green (Arabs are great, it’s so beautiful to plant greenery in the desert, they must be given credit for this). The territory is actually very cozy and beautiful vegetation everywhere, a lot of cacti , bushes, palm trees, bridges everywhere, streams, a fountain, everywhere water murmurs... I was delighted!
They told me that there are three pools, I found 4))), one is heated, next to a bar, there is a very tasty cappuccino, by the way, who is a tea lover, stock up in Ukraine, tea in Egypt is terrible, as far as I am a tea lover, I constantly drank coffee or cappuccino.
The animators in Oriental are weak from my point of view, I only liked the very energetic and always smiling Zico, he is the soul of this hotel !!!! )) I miss him, tell him hello who is going there)) he is great. I rested there for a week and for all the time I was only 2 times at a disco and 2 times at animation, and then I realized that it would be better to have fun without them, it would be more interesting. Zico teaches Latin American dances and belly dancing on the beach, it is a pleasure to learn from him))))))).
The staff is very friendly, I went with my mother, they paid a lot of attention to us (sometimes they say compliments, sometimes they smile for all 32 teeth, they wrote me their emails, telephones, although I didn’t ask for it))), but kept at a distance, as it were. By the way, few of the staff speak Russian (to my surprise, the agency assured me otherwise), fortunately I learned English and took a dictionary, so after 2 days I adapted.
I made friends with one Arab boy, he works at the reception... Mahmoud... very handsome and wearing glasses... always contact him, he will definitely help, but he doesn’t know English, Russian, I miss him)))). go to Oriental, give him greetings from Yulia from Kyiv, he will definitely not forget me, so he will immediately understand.

Food. I liked the food... in principle....sausages are always delicious for breakfast, scrambled eggs, delicious fried fish, baked camaras, spaghetti there are no words, but their seasonings annoyed me... even fresh tomatoes were sprinkled with spices with the smell of perfume , in general, I had to drink mezim 2 times. By the way, what I liked most was the melon. And the food in the principe is varied, for breakfast there is always only sausages and scrambled eggs, and the menu has changed. but the pineapple will still do, freshly squeezed 3 USD Near the main restaurant there are two more, they are free, on top of the fish, it is paid.
Room. There are pluses and minuses. The downside is that the bed linen does not change, only towels were changed, but I didn’t distance myself. Also, different figures from towels are not provided for in the service, but I asked our cleaner to make us 2 figures from towels and only then he did, so I don’t know why we constantly left a dollar. Now about the good, the rooms are really huge, spacious, comfortable, the beds are the same, which I liked the most, that the room has a kettle, two cups and there are always a lot of bags of sugar, coffee and tea. There is a small refrigerator, TV with one Russian channel (only two days later it disappeared from us))) but there is a great music channel, a huge balcony (two armchairs and a table).
By the way, when I checked in, I wanted a good room, I read that I had to give 10 USD, smile and everything would be ok. e, with a sea view 10 USD every day. . how do you like it? I was shocked. . . I asked for a standard room and got a good room.
Be sure to go on excursions, I went from Teztour, we had a wonderful guide Mahmud, he is always in the hotel, we even called him mommy, he always helped solve problems, he always took care of us, smart girl))) and there were no problems with him , my mother and I went on many excursions and were satisfied with everything. We went to Cairo, to the water park, to Ras Mohammed, I liked it the most, all day riding on a yacht in the Red Sea with 3 dives (I came off there in full, because our beach is not very good), to the Turkish bath Hammam (I also advise! ))).
By the way, there are a lot of shops, cafes, entertainment facilities outside the territory. And I advise you to buy souvenirs near the hotel, cheaper than in Cairo and even in Naama Bay.

My conclusion is that the hotel is beautiful with very friendly staff (apart from a small incident at the beginning, they were well received, treated very well and well spent), but first of all family-type and people from 40k, because. I'm 22, I was a little bored there, but when I started
it became fun to unwind without animators and it was not always fun on the territory (I went to discos, walked around the city). So, if you are going to the Oriental Resort, it is better with a company.
But when the moment came to collect my things, I almost cried, it was so cozy there and made friends with many that I didn’t want to leave. I advise you to go to this hotel, I am still drawn there, next time I will definitely go to Egypt, I fell in love with this country very much and maybe even in the same hotel))))))).
By the way, it’s not in vain that they say, with what insistence you go to rest, you will rest, I always had a great mood and I didn’t go to find fault with everything, so I had a great rest !!! ! Therefore, good mood and a wonderful holiday in the Oriental Resort !!! !
