We stayed at the hotel from July 31 to August 7.2015. The hotel was recommended by a travel agency. I chose for a long time which hotel to fly to, I wanted to buy Maritim Jolie Ville Resort & Casino (Biblio Globe, Transaero flight), as I like, but the dollar jumped up and the price of the hotel too, I had to take Barcelo, it was cheaper.
Tour operator Tez tour, flight UTair. This is my 10th trip to Egypt.
I will write briefly about UTair, although this will not affect the rating of the hotel. The flight there was delayed for an hour, the tires on the wheel were changed, although the board arrived in Moscow at about two in the morning, and our flight was at three in the afternoon. The flight back was delayed again for an hour, I think this is the norm for this company, the flight attendants without a smile on their faces. But they didn’t expect more from this company.

The hotel area is small and not very green, we can say that the territory consists of a hotel in the form of a flower, pools and the sea, and that's all. The pool is large, clean, but very hot for August, there is a pool for children. half the sand and small pebbles, closer to dinner, even in flip flops you can burn your feet, is it really impossible to put wooden decks up to the lagoon at least, this is a big minus, children run into the sea with tears. there are good sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, which must be occupied at 6 in the morning, yes, and they are occupied mainly near the lagoon and occupied, as it was written here, not by the Slavs, but by Europeans, mostly Italians, coming to the beach at 6 30, by the lagoon all the sunbeds are already taken. There are not enough sunbeds, people put mattresses on the sand and sunbathe, or rather burn, it is probably very difficult for a hotel to buy more sunbeds? Beach towels are clean, good quality, issued in exchange for cards. The entrance to the sea where the lagoon is sandy. There is a coral reef. The tides are closer to noon.
We were settled in the fourth building with a sea view, as indicated in the voucher. The refrigerator did not work in the room, it was replaced the next day. There is a Russian-speaking girl Anna at the reception, you can contact her with any request. There was no shampoo, no hair balm, no gel in the bathroom, the next day everything except the balm was brought, but during the week it was never replenished. Even in the bathroom two lamps were not lit, three times Anya wrote down in her notebook our request to replace them, as it was dark, but alas, they were never changed. Room cleaning is not bad, the boy tried.
The food at the hotel is not bad, you can always find something, but there are not enough attendants, for the first time I see in the top five that they don’t bring drinks, you have to go for them yourself, it’s just incredible, there are always queues for them. There is also a girl working in the restaurant, she is alone there, so she does not respond to any requests at all, maybe she is deaf and mute, why are such workers needed? They try to clean the tables promptly, I really liked the boy named Mahmud-Said, he is always in his place, well done. I liked the breakfasts very much, just don’t add so much ice to the juices, it turns out water. Wine for lunch and dinner is disgusting, it is not possible to drink. Desserts are very good and tasty. Fruits are all cut into halves. The hotel has two Ala carte restaurants, fish and Mediterranean, we didn’t go to them. Juices on the beach from packages, and bottled beer. . Animation team at the highest level, hi Vite, a very nice girl. All day long, everyone is involved in sports and dance events. I really liked the fakir show on the beach. On August 5, my husband and I had a wedding anniversary, it was noted in the voucher, but alas, no one congratulated us, although the hotel has such bonuses. Wi-Fi in the hotel can be said to be absent, it was not possible to connect to one password taken at the reception, the Internet of the Faraana hotel was caught on the balcony and the beach, so I sat on it. We had a late flight, a 5 hour extension cost us $60.
Not far from the hotel there are two grocery stores, a pharmacy (much cheaper than in a hotel) and a gift shop. Everything is much more expensive in the hotel, a pack of cigarettes costs $6, in a store $3, you can pay in dollars, but the exchange rate is $1 7 pounds .

The hotel does not change the currency, there is no ATM.
