Good day, dear tourists. I am very glad for you that you are going to such a wonderful country as Egypt. Hotel Domina Coral Bay Harem was "tested" by us for the first time, to be honest - not everyone liked it. Are we accustomed to having a cup of tea with a delicious cake after lunch and dinner (very dense, by the way), before trotting, so to speak. It doesn't, don't wait. and if at lunch you can drink tea in a bar next to the harem pool, then in the evening only in the Bahia bar, which is open until late. Tea is not varied, we only had lipton. but milk or lime will always be added. By the way, tea is served in plastic cups!
The food is normal, there is something to eat and various soups are always quite normal. I won’t talk about the territory, and everything is clear - sooooooo big, just a whole city. We did not pass the weight and did not even pass.
Now about the constructive, that is, about what will come in handy on the first two days of arrival. First, do not ask the reception for a map, it will help you get comfortable. Settle as close as possible to the restaurant, then it will not be far to go to the room and the sea will be visible.

From the reception on the sea it is easy to reach by tuk tuk or on foot (sorry all the way down). on the tuk, we did this: we got off it not at the final one, but at the reception of the Oasis Hotel and went through the reception to the elevators, went down to the 1st floor and across the road to the main pontoon (since it seemed to us closer).
there is also a spa in the hotel, for 20 bucks you can swim all day in heated and not heated jacuzzis with aloe vera oil, go to the Turkish bath, in general it’s very beautiful there, there is a Russian-speaking girl who will first take you around the whole territory, and then you can decide whether you go or not. It's worth going, it's very cool there. The spa is located at the Elisir Hotel and from the final one you need to transfer to another tuk-tuk. two stops and you're there. By the way, there is also a gym, normal (I know, I do it).
You can sit in the Bahia bar until late, it overlooks the sea, there is another bar - a sports bar, but it was bad there, we didn’t sit. It is located near the central pool. There was a renovation, maybe it's better. There are two evening animations, first a cool show with the participation of professional dancers, their costumes are super. After - near the mosaics of the cafe (which is paid for the harem), something like collective dances. There you can show what you learned during the day, on the beach or by the central pool. By the way, we never lay by the harem pool, everyone was on the beach or at the central one. The harem pool had different competitions.
everyone is silent about the animation, in fact it is just cool (we had it), by the way, I learned how to dance bachata well, now I surprise everyone. There is also live music, the guy sings like God, where are our "stars".
about wi-fi, it is very expensive, you should not take a beech, you will not use it. There is no free exit (at least there was not). Of course, things might not have changed much now. due to war or over time. However, I think that some tips will be useful to you.
In general, I want to say that the hotel is 4 plus. No, not 5 minus. Before that, we rested in the Reef oasis (Sharm) and in Alf Leila wa Leila (1001 nights) in Hurghada.

I realized that every hotel has pros and cons, just don't get hung up. You are relaxing on the most beautiful sea in the world! By the way, the fish there are AWESOME in size and beauty !!!! ! Happy travels and happy holidays to all.
