Hey! Today I will tell you about our trip to Egypt at the beginning of July!
Coral Sea Holiday Resort. The hotel is located in Sharm El Sheikh, on the coast of the NABC bay.
Well-groomed territory - immediately catches the eye. There is a lot of cut greenery and palm trees. On the left side of the main building - a quiet area Pool, with a bar for relaxation - a relaxing holiday, so to speak. There are practically no people here - everyone hangs out by the main pool - two hundred measures from the main building.
NUMBERS: we got the "family room", 10124, instead of the standard. Pavda, I had to pay a one-time fee for it - 40 dollars. Plus, thanks to the same payment, we were happily settled at 7 in the morning, without waiting until dinner.

The room has a spacious restroom, with a modest set of cosmetics. The room itself is rather big, there is where to turn around. Bed - king size, high. The difference from the standard is in an additional room with two sofas, which is convenient for families with children. Access to the adjacent territory - we have a pool of a "quiet" zone. The room has a wardrobe.
Now for the unpleasant surprises. Among them is a faulty safe. The request for its repair or replacement was ignored by the management. Cleaning in the room - "formal". The cemetery of insects near the sofa, which we discovered upon arrival, apparently was inherited by vacationers after us: no one removed it for a week. By the way, the staff also prefers not to change bed linen, but simply turn it inside out.
ANIMATION: This is a tin! The show, at the level of the house of culture of Mistechkov... However, there is nothing to comment on here.
ANAIMATORS: they are. . . but they seem to be gone! For a week of rest, no one approached us once. We met the guys only before dinner - at the entrance to the main restaurant. And then, always busy with their own affairs in the phones. GestContact - zero. Why they are kept there and paid for it is not clear.
The contingent of the hotel - Belarusians, Kazakhs, Ukrainians... What can we comment on - the behavior of compatriots - just a shame! From scandals with staff for any reason, drunken yells, to using tables as a footrest.
You should also be prepared for the boorish behavior of local tourists - there are many of them here, at least a third. All with crowds of children.
FOOD: the impression is twofold. On the one hand, varied: pastries, meat, chicken, fish - every day. From fruits: melon, apples, doggies, watermelon, figs. Sometimes delicious. . . Other times, not so much. In general, how lucky. The main humiliation is begging for more from the guys at the distribution. Do not be surprised if you are awarded as much as one slice of potatoes, meat or watermelon. Feel free to ask for more - you paid for it!
Every day, after dinner, there is live music in the lounge bar on the veranda. Special respect to all the waiters! There are no complaints here!

And THAT, for the sake of which, many go to Egypt - the sea! The beach at the hotel, "not bad". There are a lot of sun loungers and almost always, they are empty! It is understandable, because there is no sea here) Yes, even children will not be able to swim from the beach. There is a pontoon. But, it does not reach the reef. The depth in the bathing area is one and a half meters. There are some fish. Of course, you can go look at the reef from the pontoons of neighboring hotels. Until 9 am - even for free. But, NABC is a windy bay. At least until lunch, the reef is raging waves.
The hotel has its own water park across the street. It will be fun for both children and adults, in general, it is worth visiting at least once during your vacation! )
Oh yes. I almost forgot. Swallowing guided tours. We decided to take the cheapest trip to Marble City, for $15, but with a discount, "from the owner today only", ahah, for 5. In general, don't be fooled. For this money, you will simply be taken to SOHA - an alley with incomprehensible cafes and shops with exorbitant prices. All this is within walking distance from the hotel (on the right side, leaving the hotel), or in the Old Market. You can get to the Old City for only a dollar, caught at the hotel by a white and blue minibus. (But it's a 40 minute drive! )
How would I rate my stay at Coral Sea Holiday? In general, three with a plus. If you do not pay attention to the details - you can have a good time! Have a nice rest!
