Arrived from the hotel a day ago. I am not writing this review in a rush.

From the pros:

1. Very large area, clean and spacious rooms. Reefs are good, lots of fish. Very comfortable and large pantones, there is an entrance from the beach - take slippers for the sea (we bought slippers for 3 dollars at the hotel) The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean - for Egypt is a rarity.
2. The guests are mostly Italians, so it was quiet, calm, relaxed and comfortable on the beaches in the evening as well. . no troubles and an absolutely pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. There are quite a few security guards in the area.
3. Very strong and cool animation - there were daily concerts at the main evening restaurant (next to the main restaurant at the cafe site) and also, at the same time, in other places (salt lake).
And I liked the animation for children .. , we flew with a child of 10 years old and did not participate ..

, but watched from the side how the animators entertain children and what they do with them - just a super attitude towards children! Well done! You can leave even the smallest children with them.
Concert programs are really at an excellent level .. : singers, dancers . . good costumes - beautiful performances and spectacles .. )
It wasn’t boring on the beach either - masseurs, tattooists and other staff approached us all the time . . always in a good mood, they didn’t impose services much, which is very pleasing and at the same time they communicated with us with pleasure ..
Good beach volleyball and good music on the beach. . mostly italian.
There were some beach ball games and other animated jokes . . quite interesting.
4. The pools and the beach are absolutely free - there is no need to worry that there will not be enough trestle beds or something else ..
half of the empty seats, the remoteness of the umbrellas is convenient - not on each other's heads.
5. The hotel is reminiscent of a city within a city. There are a lot of shops (clothes, bags, souvenirs, food, cigarettes, etc. ) You can buy everything you need (slippers, swimwear, hats, masks with pipes, etc. .. ) the prices are normal. Ice cream 1 ice cream in chocolate like Nestle or Oreo cone . . 2 c. e. Snickers ice cream. Cigarettes from 3 to 8 cu. e. A lot of mangoes - they are in season now. 3 at. e kg. 1 mango by weight is about 1 kg.
6. There are photographers on the territory - we did not take pictures, but the quality of their work is excellent, you can order. 30 at. i. e. 10 photos with processing, we clarified - you can agree to take a photo on a disk and merge all the pictures taken there in addition to 10 selected for the same price ..
7.
There is a rental of cars on the territory - it's cool, we took a car for 5 seats (driver and 4 seats) for a day for 50 USD. e. there is where to ride.

8. We went to the old city for dinner. The Sea Food restaurant seems to be . . at 120 USD. 6 adults and 2 children of 10 years old ate. I don’t remember - it’s delicious, they took some kind of big fish - it’s tasty but they didn’t eat it . . it didn’t fit)))) it was possible to make an order for 80 dollars calmly . . they didn’t eat a lot. We are in this restaurant for the second time - there were no poisonings and there are many local ones, while all the neighboring ones are simply empty. Sauces are served - all the norms, and snack salads are a bonus . . we did not eat vegetables - there was a smell of staleness.
Taxi from the hotel 2 cars 15 c. u. e if I'm not mistaken.
9. There is a casino on the territory of the hotel, where soft drinks are free, drinks are paid.
ten.
The restaurant has a lot of fresh feta and Parmesan shavings - even eat it in buckets. Lots of sauces - ketchup, olive oil, etc. . Not many desserts, but they are delicious. . Lots of Italian pasta. Beer is okay, not water.
11. Very cool chef, sociable and friendly. If you go to a restaurant at the last minute of dinner, no one will take away your food until you take what you want.

Minuses:

1. Very old rooms in Domina Coral Bay Oasis 5 * - much better rooms in aquamarine - this is the same hotel, but the rooms are better and the sea view is close . . We did not really attach importance to the condition of the room because we only came there to sleep and left early.
2. Trouble with food. Firstly, there is no assortment of food: rice, potatoes are similar to french fries but in pieces, sometimes baked potatoes with cheese. Everything from side dishes. There were steamed vegetables - but children do not eat this) Meat - in the morning there was none at all. We ate scrambled eggs, croissants with chocolate sauce, pancakes, there were inedible sausages, it is not clear from what at all.
There were few pastries - there was almost nothing. They drank coffee latte from the machine, coffee is not natural (or of very poor quality)
For lunch, we ate rice with parmesan, stewed veal, there were delicious ribs.
In the evening, the meat on the grill is rubber. They don’t know how to cook meat on the grill in Egypt . . they’ll chop that chicken into pieces and without locks and spices on fire . . it’s clear that it’s nothing, dry and overburned, the same trouble with fish.
3. All of our all-inclusive is food in the restaurant 3 times a day and drinks at the bars. It's all. There are no snacks at the lobby bars at all - nothing. No ice cream, no fruit, no sandwiches. Only water and drinks.

4. There is not even a tea bag in the rooms .. , no cup, no spoon, no tea - nothing. that is, if you want to drink tea - go to a restaurant on time or to the beach.
5. I was very outraged by the behavior of the croupier and the security at the casino. The attitude seems to be respectful, but it is not neutral. The croupiers compete among themselves who will leave the client without money.
and at the same time they openly mock the losing players along with the guards. Guys, this is really annoying. When you leave a crowd in the casino for 700 euros per evening - and the employees, beating you among themselves, neigh maliciously. I haven't seen this yet. And this is not 1 time . . but regular behavior. But if you did not take money with you, you will be politely taken to your room by car for money . . Here is such a paradox.

In general - the rest and the hotel really liked, you can go there and again. Even despite the assortment of food - we did not go hungry and, moreover, managed to overeat)))

I recommend the hotel to those who have a positive attitude towards rest and do not dwell much on shortcomings . . they are everywhere.
