We chose not so much a hotel as a windless bay, because we had a negative experience with the Rehana hotel. The hotel was recommended by a travel agent. They guessed right with the bay - in the first half of November there was no wind, a couple of times there were waves near the shore, and at the edge of the pontoon there was a slight swaying on the waves - in a mask there were no problems at all. I don’t think that this is the most luxurious reef for an experienced diver, but the rest have something to see, there are many types of fish, but I wouldn’t say in terms of quantity. There is a stingray, a moray eel, a slate sea urchin, a starfish, a tridacna and various fish - if you put "Red Sea Fish" in Google, then in the pictures that open you will see residents, almost all of whom are in this bay. Having sailed away from the pontoons, you will see a brighter reef.

The hotel itself - I won’t say that it’s 5 stars, that it’s chic - but if you don’t look into every corner and every crack, stock up on a good mood, then everything will be fine! Do not find fault with trifles - and you will be happy.

The downside is cleaning. Or rather, its almost complete absence. Young guys clean up - well, you understand)) We decided not to be loaded with all this - but it seems that in 9 days they didn’t change the bed for us)) Somehow they sweep, make the bed, hang towels evenly - and that’s enough for you)

Slippers were provided upon check-in. Bath towels are given for some reason one per room by default. Even if there are three of you)) But come up and say - and everything will be fine.

Shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, body lotion and soap, 1.5 liters of drinking water are provided every day.

The room has a free safe, a large plasma TV, air conditioning, a kettle with replenished stocks of tea, coffee, cream and sugar sticks.

The food is varied and plentiful. Of course, at the beginning of the meal, everything is beautifully displayed, skillfully decorated, and later the food is simply delivered in its usual form. Just enough - vegetables, a lot of sauces, oils for them - water yourself to your taste. There are also prepared salads.
Meat in different variations every day - but not pork, of course. Cereals, potatoes, legumes, pasta - everything is always there. Lots of delicious and beautiful desserts. Fruits - pomegranates, melon, grapes, dates, guava, oranges. In the evening every day ice cream in packs. Food is not "mother's" - this must be understood. But everyone will find tasty for themselves and will not remain hungry.

There are also restaurants that you need to sign up for at the Grill bar upon arrival. Were in three - Fish, Mexican and Italian. When recording, you must immediately choose the main dish. I liked the restaurants - be sure to go.

Drinks - some kind of chatter, as elsewhere in such hotels. I don’t know how many revolutions - but there are no hops in my head at all, neither from wine, nor from beer, nor from the type of whiskey or tequila. And little goofy cups. This is the first time I've come across this size.

The hotel stands on a very beautiful rock, there is where to take pictures.

But the minus is that the descent to the sea is a little heavy, although it won’t hurt to trot after a heavy meal. There are stairs and just an inclined descent, there is an elevator to the sea, cars are also brought up. The main beach is sandy, but there are also niches with sunbeds in the rock. There are few sunbeds, not enough during rush hour. Beach towels too. Did not pick up at 8 am - write wasted.

Three pontoons of different lengths and a sandy entry for the kids to flounder. They took corals - but never used them. We didn’t walk in shallow water, we swam from pontoons - therefore, there is no need for slippers. The sun sets early - at 16.00. Therefore, you need to come to the beach at 7 am to catch the heat longer.

From animation - during the day everyone will find something for themselves if they wish - dancing by the pool, and yoga, and water polo, and darts, and big and table tennis, and in the evening live music and a show program. For children there is a mini club. In the evening there is a disco at the hotel, as well as trips to nightclubs.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in November - a spray and a fumigator are required.

To the left of the hotel - shops, pharmacies, supermarket. A little further - the IL Mercato shopping quarter - go through it and take a walk to the Old market - there is a beautiful mosque and many shops.

The assets of the hotel themselves are already spree, you can see with the naked eye that they are not the first freshness - but do not pay attention, do not find fault, find good things around and enjoy the sea, sun and warmth! I wish you a good rest.
