Hello, everyone arrived on 03/10/2010, flew for 13 days.
If you are flying to lie by the pool, then welcome! And if you are going to the sea, then the guys are not there for you.
Delivery to the sea is disgusting, the bus has to be stormed! We only went to the beach "Delta", the beach - "a spit on the map of the world", and even the floor of the beach is rented to the hotel "panorama", there are not enough sunbeds, people lie on the sand. The bus runs at 9.00, 10.00, 10.30, back at 13.30, 15.30, you need to go to the bus stop in 20-25 minutes. mood and take a taxi for $ 2, the minibus costs only a pound per person, but they say it stops far from the hotel. In the sea Rybiny from small to large, of different beauty. Swimming is recommended in slippers or fins. If you need equipment, buy on the Delta beach, where we bought fins for $ 12 cheaper, a snorkel for $ 5, a mask also costs $ 5 (or 25 pounds). It is better to change money at a bank near the main entrance, the bank is open every day from 9 to 12 and from 18.00 to 21.00, in my opinion, Sunday is a day off, and the rate was 5.68.

I’ll start with the resettlement at the entrance, I paid for the full all, but the fact is that the tour operator first set soft and then corrected it to full, they weren’t told, with foam at the mouth for half an hour they proved their case and justice triumphed, but they settled without additional fees in the cathegik next to the restaurant, lived in a deluxe, but the deluxes are all different, we had a small one compared to the rest, but we were satisfied. We were settled quickly enough, 41 people arrived, and in 40 minutes we were settled.
I advise you to buy a deluxe room, I heard that people from the standards cursed, something broke, then the air conditioner, then the bed was broken, then ants or something else, I didn’t hear anything bad about deluxes. I was pleased with the free electronic safe, a bottle of water is waiting for you upon arrival, do not throw away the bottle, you have to! The restaurant will not let you pour, but you can drag glasses)
The territory is beautiful - an oasis in the middle of the desert with 11 pools, I advise you to swim in pools from No. 1-4, of which there is a bar near pools No. 1 and No. 4, the central pool is open until 00.00, but they swam there a couple of times, as it is filled with locals .
The territory will seem immense to you, but it’s not all within a walking distance of 5-10 minutes. Taf-tuffs are declared on the territory, they are, but they are practically invisible, take a ride when you arrive with suitcases to the house. Photos on the territory are excellent, beautiful)
As for food, there is a poor choice, but everything is edible, thanks for not using my huge first-aid kit) only once before the flight we felt unwell. There are practically no fruits, delicious pasta with basil and tomatoes, yum. the fact is that in a restaurant you order a drink from the waiter, in general you can order and often forget.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are held at the Family Restaurant, snacks at Friends.
The animation is boring, on Thursdays dinner by the pool, men in skirts dance beautifully. And so every day there is sluggish aqua aerobics, polo, belly dance training.
In the evenings we smoked a hookah (hookah on site) cost from 10 to 40 pounds, we smoked a mix for 20 pounds, the hookah is excellent, the hookah man's name is Mido.
There is a disco bar on site, there were 1 times, the music is not bad.

You don’t take excursions from tour operators, they will go over your ears and say that it’s safer with them and a guide and escort, etc. , etc. , don’t believe it, we took excursions by the central pool near Dudu and were very pleased, everything was fine! We went to Abu Galum for $ 40 per person (from the tour operator and on the beach $ 55-60), to Cairo for $ 50 (on the beach $ 55, from the tour operator $ 90), of course you decide. Abu Ghulum is a nature reserve, first you drive jeeps through the desert, then swim in a blue hole, it’s exciting when there is an abyss under you and you can’t see the bottom, you swam with masks! Take equipment with you, otherwise rent is $ 7 per person. not calm, there were small waves, but you don’t need a vest, you also have to pay for it!
In general, I really liked Cairo, the pyramids in Giza, only the bus was not comfortable and the trip to 6 hours there and the same amount of time ago was exhausting, but the pyramids are worth it, the guide in Cairo was called Khalid, just a sweetheart and smart, he told awesome! The trip to Cairo includes a visit museum, visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx, visiting the papyrus shop, visiting the oil shop. Souvenirs are not bought, they say the cheapest is in Sharm in the old city.
If you go, take $30 for this price. They will make you a silver pendant with hieroglyphs with your name, if you want with gold letters, then $35, but the guide offered us this.
Of the excursions, the colored canyon was also praised! But we were limited in money.
In general, even despite the massacre for the bus, the impressions were excellent, the ticket was budget, but when we left, a surprise was expected, it’s good that it wasn’t us! The rooms are vacated at 12.00, at 19.10 when the bus arrived, one boy was billed $ 65 for a broken mirror or broken tiles, although the number was checked and there were no complaints, they swore for a long time, but in the end the boy paid, he was not let out of hotel, just bastards, impressions are spoiled! On the day of departure, you can eat, but the guys won’t give you towels, so we cooked until 19.00 without towels, we didn’t take our own.
In general, it's up to you guys to decide, but I won't advise my friends to go there and for myself I swore - I will choose a hotel only on the first line !!!!
Good luck, write, I will answer
