I had a rest with my sister in the Oriental resort 5 stars for a week from June 27 to July 4.2010. An excellent hotel for those who want to relax, swim in the sea, eat plenty, enjoy the beautiful plantings on the territory and practice their English and German. My sister was the first time - she was wildly delighted, I, as a more sophisticated tourist, just really, really liked it))).

1. Food. Diverse. And there are a lot of them. Each time (except for breakfast) about two new dishes are added. Grilled on the street at lunchtime and in the evening, it is very tasty, you should eat it first of all, while it is hot. Fruits - melon, dates, grapefruit, tangerines, watermelon.
Had seafood 1 time.
The sister checked the quality of the food for herself. In Kyiv, they constantly eat all the freshest and still have heartburn, there, given the quantity, density and method of cooking (stew, grilled, fried), there has never been heartburn.
2) Territory

Large and very green area of ​ ​ the hotel.
A large number of palm trees, flowering shrubs, cacti. Considering that we lived in the central building and the road to the sea took a full 5-7 minutes, they flew by unnoticed, as on the way our eyes rested and enjoyed the beauty. In the center of the hotel, an artificial stream stretched along the sides from one pool to another, framed on the sides by flowering plantations. There are two bridges to go to the other side.
On the beach, every three sunbeds are prudently fenced with wicker partitions, which is very convenient.
3) Sea
The sea is shallow, to swim you need to go only to the pontoon. From it to the chest of a man of medium height, sail a little and it will be with his head. Corals are primitive, purely conditional, for those who come up for the first time. For the more demanding - excursions to the island of Tiran.
3) Animation
Animation is purely conditional and not because lazy animators, but simply tourists mostly came to lie down and chat, and not jump in the pool in a 40-degree heat. In the evening, foreigners prefer live communication in the cool hotel lobby, at this time there are not many hunters at karaoke or disco. This is just enough for every home.
4) Language barrier
The hotel mainly accepts tourists from European and Arab countries, therefore communication is exclusively in the international language. All household trifles are solved with the help of it.
I really liked the fact that there were no Russians. There was one company of three men and one woman for all, shouting, yelling and in every possible way attracting attention to themselves. Foreigners do not allow themselves such lack of culture, and therefore their reputation is not as bad as ours. Although the attitude towards Ukrainians and Belarusians is warmer, it means that not everything is lost with us)))
5) Naama Bay

From the hotel there is a free, but only in the morning, bus to Naama Bay shopping center. Many shops (most) there are closed at this time. And what's more, the assortment and prices of goods are similar to those in shops around the hotel. So you can go on a tour once. In order not to hear bad things from annoying sellers, because you don’t want to buy something from them, you need to conduct a conversation in English.
6) Weather
We were all frightened by the terrible sizzling heat, because summer is in Egypt! However, the hotel is located in Nabhi Bay, where the winds are constantly blowing, and in general it is stormy in winter. Therefore, it was even a little cold for us to get out of the warm water, such a strong evening blew! For two days he was weaker, and it was felt, but the rest of the time it was just beauty.
