I will not be capricious and look for flaws, which are enough everywhere, I can only say that the sea in this hotel is the main trump card. Coral Bay may not be the most interesting reef of the Red Sea, but I had enough fish and depth and purity, and, in fact, the corals themselves. Last year's vacation in another hotel was disappointing because we were deprived of the only opportunity to swim in winter. And they were just after that. Pools do not count, but snorkeling near the shore, at a depth of half a meter, is a miserable semblance of swimming.
It is beautiful in Coral Bay, and in Domina, in order to emphasize this beauty, they came up with a complex of pontoons - the distance between them is 700 meters, perhaps. The most interesting is the central one: with 2 pools inside, you can not only dive into the water from it, but also sunbathe on it, like on a floating island.
We saw a flock of zebra lionfish, a huge Napoleon fish, a million parrots, tuna, etc. etc. - myriads of fish that surround you from all sides, sometimes even crash, but, surprisingly, they never let you touch them with your hands))) In general, looking at all this splendor, I even dared to scuba dive. My ears hurt during and after, but it's worth it! (A trial dive for 20 minutes cost 40 bucks. By the way, Domin has its own diving center. They say it's not bad).

The food at the hotel was not something out of the ordinary, but I gained 5 kilograms in 12 days. After swimming, I really want to eat. But the most insidious are the desserts. And for dinner - kebabs... + desserts... I confess)))
Our room was nice with a view of the pool. Room service is very unobtrusive (we have never encountered a cleaner), but decent - all linen, towels and even bathrobes were changed every day. Wet cleaning, shampoos, shower gels - delivered as we spent them. One nuance. God forbid you put any things on the floor! On the first day, while laying out cosmetics in the bathroom, I managed to drop a bag with some jars-bottles on the floor in the corner and forgot about it. The cleaner disposed of it, so to speak. I didn’t even get angry - it was my own fault. Everything that is lying on the floor (except for shoes) is either rubbish or a laundress. Law)
Territory - do not walk too far. A couple of times they rode taf-tuff, but mostly they preferred walking - they burned calories. Fortunately, there is where to wander. There is even a shopping and entertainment center, so to speak: several streets on the territory of the resort, where shops, cafes, Internet cafes, and a casino are concentrated. It even has its own farm, which, according to legend, provides the resort with environmentally friendly products. In fact, the farm is nice, but tiny, and able to provide, if not the resort's publicity needs, to become another place to walk and instill in tourists the idea that they are eating healthy food.
The animation was good, but we are not amateurs, we watched from the side or from the sea.
What else? One of the features of the resort is that they live according to Italian time. One hour ahead of Egyptian. This is important when planning trips to the city, for example, on excursions.
In general, we are satisfied: me and my husband and our 8-year-old snorkeler.
