Hotel ratings by criteria:
Tour operator Pegasus. Elite room was booked. At the reception they immediately said that they needed one bed, after 10 minutes they gave a room, although the guy from there was constantly running around with someone for advice. Then he said that if we wait a bit, he will look at the room better, it will be for an extra charge. The room turned out to be with 2 separate beds, I made a noise, the beds were connected, on the trail. day they put a common mattress, there were no problems with the beds. As we later found out, the elite room is just rooms with a newer renovation, and in principle the rooms are exactly the same throughout the hotel, almost everywhere there is a view of the sea, well, or of the pool, which is also not bad. And since the hotel has only 3 rooms with king-size beds, and it is unlikely that you will be settled there. Our building was 29, next to 28. They are almost the closest to the sea.

The room is normal, you can live. The air conditioner works so well that I got a cold from it, I had a temperature for 3 days. There is a bath, but you can’t lie in it, it’s a bit old.


Enough greenery.
Hikons, lizards and other living creatures crawl throughout the hotel. They won’t crawl into the room, but the balcony door must be closed, because there are a lot of them on the balcony itself.

FOOD. For breakfast: they make scrambled eggs, delicious pancakes, pastries, yoghurts - like everywhere else. Lunch and dinner: pasta is cooked on the veranda, the restaurant itself has a sufficient variety of food, a lot of spicy food, not a lot of vegetables. Seafood is excellent. From fruits - melon, watermelon, bananas, cherries. All sorts of drinks, but the local liquor is terrible, it's better to buy alcohol in duty-free of course.

Bars: 1 in the lobby - round the clock, 2 on the beach, 3 near the pool (where from 11 am to 5 pm - snacks), in the hookah.

TEMPERATURE. In the shade about 40 degrees. From 12 am to 3 pm it is better not to appear in the sun at all, otherwise you will burn terribly.

ANIMATION. Hardly ever. There is no beach at all! Noticed her 2 days before departure. Evening shows are almost exclusively for children. Complete garbage compared to what I saw in other hotels.
POOLS. One is large, there is a volleyball net, a water polo goal. Max. depth 140 cm. Near a small pool, depth 280 cm. Animation in the pool - 11.30 - 12.10 am. and then after dinner Polo perhaps. Swimming pools until 19.00 pm. At night, they are practically not looked after, so you can swim quietly at night if you are not afraid of bleach) There are big chess, table football, table tennis near the pool. On the territory there is a beach volleyball court, beach football, which no one plays, a tennis court (advance reservation) rackets are normal. There is also a billiards on the territory, preliminary reservation.


BEACH. Rocky, no sand. For quite a large hotel, it is very small, sunbeds have to take hours at 9 am. 3 pontoons, around which there are always a lot of people. There is no security on the coast. There is a bar on the beach, drinks, pancakes are prepared from 11 to 5 pm.

TOURS.
Many people think that it is much more reliable to take a tour from the hotel, because they are supposedly responsible for you. In fact, only the hotel is responsible for you. So if you want to, for example, ride ATVs (which is very cool), consider whether to pay $ 45 for imaginary hotel protection, or $ 15 on the street for the same. By the way, our friends went for a ride from Coral, $55 for two for 1 (! ) car (it's not interesting), and they didn't really like it, because they were driving in a column, slowly. Not those emotions, in short.

There is a disco, very good.

Not far from the pool there is a hookah Beduin TENT. There is a good hookah, $4, local drinks, tea, juices, water. The hookah man is amazing.

There are free buses to Naama and back, you need to sign up for them in the morning, at 9 o'clock. If a taxi is a maximum of 3-4 dollars to Naama, and 2-3 to the old city. Know how to bargain, this is the most important thing in Egypt.
In Naama, you can sit in the Panorama cafe (you can ask any local where it is), the higher you go up there, the more beautiful the view opens on Naama, there is a very tasty MAHONY restaurant, it is far from the main festivities, but it's worth it, the average bill is 2000 for two. you can go to the Little Buddha club, it's very good there, Hard rock Cafe - more of a pub, but also good. there is nothing to do in Pacha, only Arabs, the music is terrible. Just a brand.

Hotel workers are not rude, friendly. It's up to you to leave a dollar as a tip for cleaning.

You can use the territory Vacation.

There were almost no Russians, many Englishmen and Germans.

In general, the hotel is not bad, but it is family run. There is absolutely nothing for the youth to do.
