Were in Domina Coral bay Prestige Elisir at the beginning of November 2009.
I’ll make a reservation right away - if you need a sea view, then choose another hotel where 100% of the rooms have a sea view, otherwise you will probably be deceived.
We booked and paid for Prestige sea view with a sea view and an individual transfer 2 months before the trip. 3 weeks prior to the S7 trip, the tour stated that there were no sea view seats (sudden 'stop sale') and they were offering a 'more expensive' Elisir or a refund. Since there was no time left to look for something worthwhile, they left it as it is. Upon arrival, it turned out that there were no places in the building overlooking the sea (and there weren’t until the end of the stay), and all Russians were settled in Elisir with a view of each other, that is, it looks like a common fraud put on stream (it’s unlikely of good will who will book Elisir, although the numbers say more).

Individual transport turned out to be a bus from this hotel (S7 tour), which collected people at the airport for an hour, transported them for another hour and also collected people back for an hour from all Domina hotels with a stop in Sierra.
To the sea from prestige about 300m downhill. The beach is a separate small one with a narrow pontoon and a single staircase. At 64 prestige numbers and 100 Elisir, it turns out pretty cramped.
30 meters from the "elite" beach there is a pier with prehistoric pleasure yachts that smoke with worn-out diesel engines from 8 to 10 am and from 4 to 5:30 pm - it is impossible to swim when the wind is in your direction (and this is almost always).
Corals are 70% dead, although there are few fish, they are quite diverse.
Plaisir restaurant with excellent cuisine and service. Fish-Italian restaurant Nautilus is not worse in terms of cuisine, but the service is a bit inferior. Prices are 1.5 times higher than European ones.
The prestige bar on the beach is not bad, they cook vegetables, meat, squid and shrimp on the grill, but the shrimp used to be rotten. Freshly squeezed juices in Plezira and in the bar are actually squeezed out, but it is not known when.
The service at the hotel is good by Egyptian standards, there is no Internet in Elisir, they say that a new hotel (you can’t tell by the look) - you have to go to Plaisir - 100m, but quite expensive - 12 euros per hour, 100 euros per week.
But the SPA is beyond praise - two warm hydromassage pools with different temperatures with a diameter of 6 m, and cold ones with different temperatures. Entrance, towels, bathrobes free of charge every day.
The announced Club car service is good only when leaving Prestige to any point in the vast territory of Domina, but you can wait 30-40 minutes back, no matter how many times you call the reception and no matter how you swear (they call it Service upon availability).
The guide of the host of the S7 tour, whose name is Saleh, would be nice to be transferred to a job that does not require communication with clients.
The S7 and Global charter flight is no worse than regular flights in terms of punctuality, aircraft condition and service.
