I rarely write reviews, especially good ones, but at my leisure I decided to leave a couple of lines about Rodzhan. We rested in this hotel last year, and this year we also decided not to experiment and fly to Rojana again. The price tag this year in dollar terms was lower, but in rubles it is still more expensive than in the past.
Since last year, mostly pleasant memories have remained, so this year we also hoped for a good rest. In general, this is what happened. I will try to write objectively, but taking into account the fact that we are not so fastidious people as to look for flaws in everything.
Even in the travel agency booked a room with a sea view, so as not to be in the backyard. They did this a year ago, but given that there were fewer tourists this time, it might have made sense to buy a standard in Russia, and then get off with ten or twenty dollars for better conditions. But that didn't matter anymore. Since a lot of us arrived at the hotel, about 25 people, they settled us as in the Soviet Union, that is, quickly and with a flea market. My wife and I tried not to rush, fortunately, we knew that the number would be normal in any case. The keys were received penultimately, around 12:00, also out of breath, the reception staff silently put on bracelets. It's such an embarrassing moment, like if you saw how they pass the frame at the airport of Sharm, the police constantly say the word "quickly". For some reason, it reminded me of films about Nazi Germans, since the word “quickly” is pronounced with “and”. Approximately the same expression on the faces of the receptionists, only without asking quickly. Eyes in pieces of paper, everything is fast, but as if you are in the ZhEK.

The porter turned out to be more pleasant, we asked to be taken to the room with our suitcases right away, and not to look for a room on our own and wait another two hours for a car with luggage. For $1, this young man loaded us onto an electric car and rushed us straight to our room. There we gave him another American ruble as a thank you. The room was quite decent, the same as a year ago. Spacious with old furniture, pool and sea views. Like last year, the room had a connecting door with the next one, but we were lucky that we didn’t have neighbors for 5 days, and then a couple settled in, who spent all the time outside. So there wasn't much noise. Loud music was always heard from the pool, but it didn't bother us. Cleaning was tolerable, everything suited us.
We were satisfied with the food, just like last year. There was always plenty of food. The choice is good, there was always meat, chicken or fish, pasta, rice, homemade potatoes, fresh salads, vegetables with meat and baked, by the pools and on the beach, french fries and burgers. Desserts and pastries were also a delight every day. The downside is that the tables were not cleaned immediately, there were not enough waiters, sometimes you had to do everything yourself, that is, remove someone else's dishes from the table to another, look for cutlery and napkins. But this did not happen every day, it was almost always possible to find a served table, since there were 60 percent of tourists in the hotel, and not 100 percent like last year.
The beach is at a height, beautiful sea, nopoleons, lionfish under the pontoon, many small fish. They came to the beach at 9, there were a lot of free places, but the sunbeds closer to the pontoon were already occupied. The weather was good, the rock protected from the wind, although a strong wind blew for a couple of days, it was very unpleasant to get out of the water, especially if you need to go through the entire pontoon, reach your sunbed and only wrap yourself in a towel there.
There is a lot of entertainment in the hotel, plus active animation, a disco. The youth really liked it, we somehow like that. We went to the evening show, my wife sometimes went for exercises, visited the spa, took a massage session, was satisfied, although the masseuse was average. We took a hotel taxi to Naama Bay, it cost us $ 10, while the car was decent, the driver was very friendly. They did not want to deal with street taxi drivers, they are cheaper, but while you bargain, you will turn gray. Excursions were booked on the Internet, much more was needed for Pegasus money. Fortunately, the Internet worked just fine in the morning. We took from the agency to Jerusalem and a walk to the island of Tiran. I liked everything, the guide in Israel had a good command of the material, originally from Kharkov, so there were no problems with the language.

We will probably return to the hotel again, we would recommend it to all categories of tourists, as everyone can find entertainment to their liking.
