1. Settlement. It went without problems. Despite the additional 10 dollars settled in the Sea view room, where only a thin blue line in the distance reminded of the sea. To the right - a view of the wasteland between the hotels with garbage, and on the other - the roofs and the hall, where for a long time (as it seemed to us after the flight) music was playing and the guests were noisy. The room had 2 double beds. Clogged drains in the sink and dirt in the shower. The next morning we went to the reception with a request to relocate. The issue was resolved until 12. Then, nevertheless, they moved to a good room marked "Well, you must understand that this is a completely different class of rooms, This is the first line. " In short, another 10 bucks. Well, no regrets. Room 3010. Great view, active cleaner)) Cleaning every day, but not always effective. Dollars play a decisive role in the result of the harvest. Be careful when moving on the steps and paths near the main restaurant. There are NO warning signs! I personally fell on the wet steps in the morning. Bruises and abrasions on the leg are very distressing.
2. In winter, this hotel does not have a heated pool.
3. There is no entertainment program!! ! Save the situation animators. Workers. They do the impossible.

4. Fitness room, SPA - missing or not working.
5. Cuisine - do not rely on how they write "variety of dishes. " We are not the first time in Egypt, but we saw such an "assortment" for the first time. The fish was 1 time in 8 days. There was no seafood at all. Vegetables and fruits were constantly, but the same. I was extremely surprised by the fact that there were no strawberries in her season in Egypt. Strictly dosed issuance of dishes - 1 spoon. The impression that the guys at the distribution gave food from their plate with expressive grimaces, they say, "go ahead, you've had enough. " There are already 5 containers with dishes on distribution. Of course, you can say what you wanted - now the coronavirus, etc. BUT!! ! Special thanks to the chef Mohamed (if I'm not mistaken). Husband is a strict vegetarian. And the first day he was really hungry. Grilled vegetables, as mentioned above, or other options for vegetarian dishes, except for lettuce leaves - WAS NOT!! ! Even hummus - the hallmark of Egypt. After our request to the chef to prepare hummus - the request was treated with a smile and cordiality - the situation changed for the better. Every day after - we ate hummus, and vegetable options appeared in the assortment of dishes. The view from the restaurant is simply magical. The hotel is very lucky with its location.
6. Beach - it's beautiful. The sand is fine and very pleasant for walking. You can walk on the beaches of other hotels. The reef is beautiful. There are different fish. But if you go to the territory of an abandoned hotel behind the Albatross, the reef there is more luxurious than even the one where they are taken on yachts. There was a wind, it was uncomfortable to get out of the water (a towel saved)))), but it was pleasantly warm to sunbathe and be active with the animators.
7. Soho and other entertainment - far away, you can take a taxi (10 bucks both ways in Soho). But we walked through the "desert", 25-30 minutes - and already in Soho.

8. Medicines. Feel free to buy at the pharmacy in the hotel - it's cheaper there and they will bring you anything you want on order. Do not be fooled by a free transfer to the Russian Pharmacy in Naama Bay. It's really more expensive.
9. Excursions. RAZVODNYAK - a trip to Cairo from the tour operator ANEXTUR. Guide Isham promised that 5 hours - and we are in Cairo. HA-HA-HA. 10 hours one way, and the same plus another 2 hours back. The excursion in the museum lasted 45 minutes, the state is our museums of the Soviet times. Everything is sad. Pyramids - it was beautiful and monumental. BUT - the guides practically did not tell anything. They said: "You have 30 minutes to walk on each pyramid and another 10 minutes to take pictures near the sphinx. " In general, 95 bucks - not worth it!! ! We enjoyed the yacht trip. We ate)))) Diving - not really. Out of 15 minutes under water, 10 minutes you are forced to pose for the camera, and not swim and have fun. And a $15 shopping trip and lunch at a seafood restaurant. In short, we do not recommend. Before, it was all free. And now a restaurant has been added. You can't even call it a cafe. Dirty, tasteless food. Guys from Kharkov traveled with us. They are in Egypt for the first time. So after all these excursions they called Egypt a DISAPPOINTMENT AND A DECEIT OF PURE WATER. It's a pity. Bottom line: the impression of the rest is contradictory.
