Chose for the price and the beach. I read the latest reviews and was really worried that I went to Coral Beach Resort Tiran in vain.
But it's not all bad.
We checked in late, after 22-00. We got room 502. At first, the musty smell in the room frightened me, but after talking with neighbors, a young couple from Belarus, we found out that half an hour of air conditioning eliminated this problem. Although the receptionist offered to change the room to another, we refused. The room is not big, obviously after cosmetic repairs. Plumbing tired but serviceable, shampoos, soap added every day. Cleaning tolerable (no slabadey, but clean), at a convenient time for you. Kettle, a set of sugar kava tea for $10 all the time.
In the morning, the view from our terrace turned out to be just a feast for the eyes - the bay and the island of Tiran. Morning cava is only there, the view is excellent. By the way, most of the rooms on the second floor have a sea view.

The hotel itself is not very green, but the garden is trying to grow something on the sand. The hotel has seven lines cascading to the sea. There are three paths - the left one looks like an industrial zone, the central one past the amphitheater, the pool and along the greenest zone, and the right one with awesome sea views.
The food is adequate, but very bland. Obligatory grill menu in the evenings. I went for breakfast and dinner, it's hot at lunch, and it's satisfying enough. Few fruits - apple melon watermelon. The first hotel where there were no fresh dates at all. With a late check-in, they organized a late snack for us. When leaving, there were no problems with lunch, snacks on the beach and cocktails at the bar. Very pleasant and smiling staff. Especially pleased M. Mansur in the main restaurant. Knows a dozen languages ​ ​ at an elementary level and is very helpful.
Say hello to any of the staff in Arabic, and then also thank you, you will see smiling people with an open mind.
Elementary courtesy to representatives of the host country.
Ethnically, the composition of the guests is presented approximately as follows: 30% Ukraine, 30% Belarus, 20% Egypt, 10% Italy. A couple of representatives of Germany and a couple of Rusish families, where would we be without them.
The Egyptians did not bother me at all, they stand in line like everyone else. Sometimes they sit on the stairs (they don’t know how to swim, but they want to go to the sea). Said "momkenn Aaddi" and the road is open.
Animation is weak, they try, but the contingent is difficult. I did not participate in their stretching, yoga, water polo, etc. And there are many like me.
The coral is not bad, with an abundance of fish and live corals. But they saw better.
The hotel is perfect for a holiday from April to December, as it is located on a cape and a light breeze takes off the heat like a hand. But in winter, I think it will be unnecessarily windy there.
In general, the hotel is not for guests of the Costa Bravo and Ibiza. But for Egypt, this is a solid four.
