1. Choosing a hotel
I'll start with the fact that the hotel was chosen on the recommendation of the tour. agent. We had a big company so as not to find out about each other's passions and decided to trust the pros. The only thing that bothered me was the scanty vegetation in the photos, which in principle is not true. A big request to the local photographer to take a photo from the right angle and still reflect the greenery of the hotel. All tourists want to see a beautiful picture, you don't have enough of it. This was my only doubt about choosing a hotel.
2. Transfer. Settlement.
Not for the first time in Egypt. Everything went as smoothly as ever. Representatives of Thesis Tour met at the airport, drove to the hotel (25 minutes), on the way took the tourists to other hotels. Barcelo last, we knew it.
Since we arrived in the evening, after 19-30, we were taken to a restaurant fed / watered (in the evening the waiters come up and try to choose the alcohol) and quickly settled.
We lived in the 2nd and 3rd buildings overlooking the garden.
Rooms are spacious, correspond to those stated on the site. Water, tea, coffee, hygiene products are updated daily. I want to note that in the cosmetics of the hotel of good quality, and for the first time came and shampoo and even hair balm! ! ! ! ! .
The clearing staff welcomes the encouragement. For a symbolic fee of $ 1, we were given various swans and their cubs, hares and elephants, which decorated it all with local flowers. It is nice to see people's efforts, and the children, as always, were delighted. I want to note that even on those days when we forgot to "thank" - pleasant surprises in the form of a branded bed, a couple of flowers and folded towels - still pleased us.
3. Food. Restaurant. Barry.
I will not open America if I say that the all-inclusive system provides food, beverages, including locally produced alcohol to hotel guests at the times stated by the hotel.
As for the food - I had no complaints - everything is very edible (except for sliced cheese and sausage… but this is the case in all hotels). We knew about it, so we didn't even take them, but if we wanted to eat sausages, we immediately approached the employee (opposite the pizza station) and he cut everyone into portions. Only that sausage and cheese we ate, it is much tastier.
For lovers of food, I think there was variety, you could choose meat, different fish. Of the declared seafood were only crabs, I did not like them, but it's for a lover… Pizza, shawarma and other meat snacks, enough.
For those who are fed up with food - I recommend trying something new every day, rather than loading the plate to the point of unbearability and as a result, throw away most of the food.
For me personally, a large amount of greens was important - lettuce, iceberg, cucumbers, tomatoes, arugula.
Pleased with the great variety of soft cheeses for typhus in Philadelphia, pure and with vegetables and herbs. The choice in meat is beef / chicken / lamb - meat sticks (cutlets) were very tasty - the children were just delighted with them. Lovers of seasoned salads had a choice of salads seasoned with butter / mayonnaise. There were stuffed vegetables, lots of pickles, extra dressings for salads, sauces and more.
Always fresh variety of pastries, breads, rolls and more. Daily hot first courses to choose from. For breakfast - in addition to these vegetables and salads were always porridge, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, though in milk.
Flakes of your choice could be seasoned with hot or cold milk or simply eaten dry. Many choices of yogurts, including fruit + the ability to add different jams.
Pancakes and donuts were delicious, which all the children hunted for. As well as a large number of pastries - sweets.
All pastries are beautiful, but really do not differ in taste.
Coffee that is served for breakfast, in my opinion - a drink of chicory: (, I do not drink. Maybe it was saved by the presence of cream on the table…. I do not know.. , "Without pretensions to fashion" For fans of natural coffee is possible to order it for a fee in the lobby bar.
We had lunch on the beach in the Barracuda restaurant, the food is monotonous, we ordered pizza - it's really tastier than in the main restaurant. Kids french fries + burgers (although they just aren't)
During the day we "refueled" with cocktails at the pool bar and on the beach. For those who are going to Egypt for the first time - I warn you that the local alcohol is very different from ours. If you are a big connoisseur of elite alcohol - just take it with you.
You can drink local alcohol, you will not die for sure, the main thing is to find a cocktail that suits you. Dry wines - packaged.
Our guys took a bottle of beer every day - they survived. . if it was really bad, they obviously wouldn't drink it the next day. The children had enough when sprites, juices (diluted concentrate) + always clean drinking water.
4. ANIMATION.
At first glance, the animators do not look like a team, each was somehow on his own, probably still affected by fatigue and monotonous work. But in the morning everyone cheered up and lit up the club dance.
I will say that we felt in almost every entertainment - aqua aerobics, Pilates, yoga, football. The program of the day was prepared every day - beach party / paint halls / Africa party / pizza day, etc.
In the evening there is a program for children - cartoons, then a disco, comedy evenings - performances by animators, invited dance groups. That was the end of it, and people moved to the lobby bar (main building) and sipped cocktails.
If desired, you could rush to the local disco, which is arranged for tourists Egyptian clubs. Transfer / club entrance / 1 cocktail included in the price: )
5. THE SEA.
In the morning, the sea usually roars, rescuers strictly ensure that vacationers do not swim far, because the sea drags on.
In the afternoon it is calm, you can swim even for kids, for them there is a separate lagoon on the reef side. The sea is a separate story, it is impossible not to fall in love with it, so many overflows, so many flowers, and fish. Be sure to take masks, despite the fact that the reef is not as picturesque as in other hotels - a variety of fish is enough, and they are not confused by the people.
On the beach, in addition to bright fish, we saw a stingray and a flock of 8 sharks, this time the stone did not swim, but it is a nocturnal inhabitant. In the evenings you can watch gorgeous velvety sunsets, so beautiful the sun sets over the mountains ...relax ...it can be watched endlessly.
PS.
The star of the beach is a camel Serhiy, always elegant and happy to eat hamburgers and apples.
SUMMARY: I would recommend this hotel - definitely YES, YES and YES again.
Reading the negative reviews, I do not understand for what purpose people fly on vacation: to inspect the hotel and see for themselves? let's openly each of us has its disadvantages, but for some reason we do not show them off! ! ! People, bring a good mood, be active, take part in animation, if you do not know what you want?
By the end of the holiday we were all related, it was nice to hear that you are called by name and not confused with anyone : ).
I would like to thank you especially for the pleasant atmosphere of rest, the head of the animators KIMO, his company "OU_OU" did not leave us for another week; favorite of all children and girls mr. SEM.
- Positive person; the coolest sports guy MANDO - he knows how to make your muscles work; Animator girls NOOR, Dana, Vika, Natasha and Julia - they are always ready to make your vacation more fun.
Special thanks to the bartenders: Mohammed (beach bar) - fun, contact, remembers your tastes and does not confuse anything, while serving many people at once; Mohammed (pool bar) - a handsome, restrained intellectual, he has a coffee machine in the bar with the most delicious mocha; Mustafa (mr.
Help) a young guy who was torn at 3 bars (pool / beach / Barracuda) in his always positive and ready to help everyone; Mohammed (Barracuda Restaurant) is a favorite of children, whose names he quickly remembers, treats with ice cream and makes delicious fresh juices; Salam (the waiter of the Barracuda restaurant) is a merry-maker: ), Ramadan (the waiter of the main restaurant) luxury service, and he was worried that everyone was satisfied; and of course the main respect of the chef of the restaurant - to organize such a mechanism and unite the team can only be a talented person! ! ! THANKS
Will we fly to Barcelona again?
- No: (but only because we love new places!
But the tour as a gift to mom has already been ordered : ) and that means you stayed in ours?
