About the hotel: (enough detail, for those who are the first time)
Airport and Internet:
After landing and checking in, the first thing we needed was the Internet. You can buy a card right at the airport, for $10 you get 10 gigabytes. That's what the seller says. We bought without a second thought. A few days later, on a safari, we met a couple who also bought cards there ($10 for 10 GB). As a result, he has 200+ megabytes, and she has 2.5 gigabytes: (Do not take it at the airport, this is a risk. Checking the number of gigabytes without knowledge of Arabic is a problem. Outside the hotel there are authorized stores of Vodafone and other mobile operators. You will not be deceived there, and Your mood will not be spoiled when the Internet ends at the most unexpected moment. But before buying a card, ask the reception about the cost of the Internet, perhaps their option will be more acceptable to you : ) Especially if you do not need Internet outside the hotel.
Money and exchange rate:
It is best to check the course at the reception before the exchange, and in several other places, for personal peace of mind. Our tourists will also tell you.
ACCOMMODATION:
We chose the hotel for a long time and carefully (we are me and my wife and our friends are a married couple). As a result, we chose "Coral Sea Holiday" which was advised to us by Lyudmila Beskyd from "More Turiv" in our city of Uzhgorod. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. We were greeted at the reception by friendly guys (Ibragim took care of us) who immediately gave us bracelets and explained that from now on we can use all the services of the hotel, except for the room that is being prepared (check-in starts at 12.00) Since we were two couples, we asked rooms next to each other, and with a balcony. We were promised to do our best. After reconnaissance of the territory and coffee at the lobby, we returned to the reception, where one of the rooms was already waiting for us (the second was being cleaned).
The rooms turned out to be nearby + an internal door from room to room, with balconies and sea views (rooms 8202 and 8203). Pay attention: all this is only with a smile, a pleasant conversation (no tantrums with demands : )) and without a single dollar! We thanked them AFTER the settlement, when we were convinced that everything was fine. The room has everything you need, including: a hairdryer, a kettle, bottled water, coffee in sticks, tea bags, etc. Upon entering the room, I met our cleaner - his name is Ali (he gave a dollar for an acquaintance, and asked so that there were not 2 bottles of water in the room, but more (it happened later: 3 - 4)) The suitcase porter also had a dollar - once, upon check-in. The room is cleaned every two days (we left a dollar on the bed on the day of cleaning and check-out). Water, tea, coffee and toiletries, Ali renewed every day. I strongly advise you to read the rules for guests (change of bedding, towels, etc. ), which are given to you along with the keys to the room.
Just in case - all electronics work only if the key card is inserted into the slot near the front door.
TERRITORY:
The territory is beautiful, well-groomed. The pools are operating normally (only one is heated - distant, but bathed in all) cleanliness and order throughout the hotel. Everything is green - in one word BEAUTY : )
SEA:
There is a sea and there is no sea. Near the shore is shallow, but the bottom is sandy (a plus for those with children). If you go to the end of the pier, then you can swim there - the water there is not very deep, but it is enough.
Corals and diving:
Thank God there are no corals near the shore (last time we were in another hotel, so many guests had cuts on their legs from them) In general, dead corals are not particularly interesting to consider, unlike living ones. Living corals are something! But here only to take diving. Diving prices vary from place to place. The hotel guide is the most expensive of all, but full responsibility for you.
Outside the hotel is not much cheaper, but if something happens, solve problems with them yourself. And the cheapest option: a bay near the old market (arrive there, find someone with a boat and equipment for diving, and then bargain for the best price for you), naturally this is the most dangerous option. The three-way pricing policy applies to almost all types of entertainment tours.
NUTRITION:
The food is very different: from greens to sweets. There is a variety in vegetables, and in meat, and in side dishes, and in sauce, and in bakery products, and in sweets (I advise you to try oriental honey). There were four of us, and everyone always found something tasty for themselves : ) I will attach a photo below - see for yourself that everything is at a high level. Never had a bad time, or even nausea. There is, of course, something that did not work for some of us, but for others - very much so. But this is a matter of taste. Our opinion is 10 out of 10.
Drinks and alcohol:
There is a large selection of drinks, especially considering cocktails (both with and without alcohol), tea bags, various coffee options (with milk, americano, cappuccino, espresso, etc. ). Juices are very sweet (for an amateur), there is cola, sprite, etc. All alcohol, which is free, is local. The quality may not be the highest, but you don't feel the difference in cocktails. It came to us : ) Whoever considers himself a great alcohol taster, I advise you to take it with you from home, or buy it in Duty Free.
STAFF AND GUEST RELATIONSHIP:
Privately, you will be treated exactly the way you treat them. If you are always with a smile, in a good mood, take the trouble to remember their names and say thank you (in their language "shokran") - your vacation will be 100% excellent. The question of boredom is only personal, which depends solely on you. We met those who spent the whole holiday having fun, as well as those who whined about boredom the whole holiday (yes, there are such people : )))
especially since there is an excellent water park across the road (be sure to start going there the sooner !! ! ask the reception for opening hours), which is included in the rest. From time to time, give a dollar to the bartenders or to whomever you want (or not to give) you will not lose, but they will remember and make the rest even more pleasant. But the main thing is attitude! Any question will be answered with a smile and a positive attitude.
For Ukrainians:
Friends, take our chocolate with you for them, as gifts : ) They love it very much, and they constantly ask. (On the territory of the hotel they will not ask you for money, but chocolate (when they find out that from Ukraine) they ask.
PRO OIL:
Upon arrival, you will be offered a free trip to the city, where they will wind up half a day at various outlets, let's say - not with the best prices for you (free cheese ... ). One of them is the NEFERTITI oil sales center.
They will tell you that only it can be taken out of the country, because they have a "certificate", and other oils from other manufacturers can be taken away. This is complete nonsense! No one will take anything away from you at the border (in terms of oils and teas). We carried tea, which we bought on the territory of the hotel from Mohammed, right in a backpack, so as not to break the hibiscus. The customs officer pulled it out on the table, neighing : )) He says: "Are you taking gashish? ". I say, "Yes, there are more. " He pulled out the lemon-grass, sniffed it and ...put it back in his backpack! Says: "Good tea. " Just in case, I asked if it is possible to transport? Answered: "You can. " And that's it! Didn't even ask for a receipt. I also got carried away and bought something in Nefertiti, then I was worried that I was scammed, but Mohammed, who has a store near the beach (he is the only one there), said that they also had good quality and there was no need to worry.
He sells the "JASMINE" line and not only, the quality of which can always be seen by going to his very cozy shop and drinking a cup of his signature tea - FOCUS-MOCUS (completely free ; ).
I can say with 100% certainty that oils work! In the water park, the wife fell off the surfboard (there is such an attraction there) and hit the bone on her leg hard - there was a bruise and swelling (I felt pain when walking). When on the evening of the last day of vacation before departure (we flew out in the morning) we rested in his store (at the same time tasting and buying different teas), they asked if there was something for bruises? I anointed it with oil and in the evening of the next day, when we returned to Uzhgorod, there was not even a trace left. But in two other places there are bruises, bruises are still there (I am writing on 01/11/2021). I write so much about oil for those who, like me, do not want to take a pig in a poke.
Of course, it’s up to you where and what to buy, but for myself I decided that I won’t overpay anymore (and I overpaid a lot) and on my next trip to Coral Sea Holiday, on which we decided to return for the next vacation, I’ll take a separate, small a suitcase, especially for oils and teas, especially since Mohammed has a really rich choice : )
P. S. I hope my little review; )) will help you in choosing a hotel and in matters of the stay itself with comfort.
