Rested with a guy from 09/15/2010 to 09/22/2010. First of all, we realized that 7 days is very little. So take more days. The hotel is located on the same territory as Dreams Beach. It costs less, but at the same time you can enjoy all the amenities of the Beach Hotel, which is good news.
All guides said that we have a great hotel. very good cuisine, excellent sea and location. We did not regret that we chose him. the hotel is worth the money, and we would go there again)))
When you check in, you will be asked 20 bucks for a good room. in principle, the rooms are all good (all with a view of the pool, there is hardly a sea view), but it is better to choose building 56 or 55 and, in our opinion, it is more convenient to take the 2nd floor (two-story buildings). we didn't pay anything. we were given building 58 (the farthest) and when you open the door, then at a distance of 50 meters from the hotel fence there is a trash can of old sun loungers. It does not stink, except for aesthetic dislike. causes nothing. we didn't notice it at all. in the room you will be provided with shower accessories, there is no bathrobe and slippers. beautiful figurines from towels do not twist. rooms are cleaned daily. The room is spacious with all amenities.

A small open bus called Taf-Taf goes to the sea. runs every 5 minutes. the trip will take about 3 minutes on the strength, and if you walk to the sea, then 10 - 15 minutes. in the evening, the same bus takes you to the hotel's Beach restaurant. but the bus does not bring to the beach itself. the fact is that the hotel is located on a hill and you still have to go down the stairs to the beach. but everything is not so scary, there are not so many steps. there are 3 beaches, 3 pontoons. two are in the water and one is above the water. short pontoons. you go down into the water and immediately the depth, if you don’t know how to swim, I don’t advise. although in principle you can walk along the pontoons in the water and fully enjoy the fish and other inhabitants. Be sure to bring your mask and snorkel. without them, swimming will not bring so many impressions. you can buy them not far from the hotel (about 10 minutes walk. do not go to the first store right away) in local stores for $ 12 a set. and slippers for swimming (it’s better to buy them too) for 5 dollars.
food is good. there is always something to eat. a big plus that you can use the bars and restaurants of another hotel. we ate at lunch at a restaurant on the beach or you can have a bite to eat at the bars near the pools. this is in addition to the two main restaurants. of the main restaurants, we liked the hotel's Beach restaurant the most. The choice of food and the interior is better there. our hotel restaurant is good, but this one is a little better. The food is equally delicious everywhere, only the set of dishes is slightly different.
the waiters and service staff are friendly and sociable, you smile and behave normally and you are treated the same way. learn English, you need at least basic knowledge there. or take a phrase book with you. Russian is not known very well and they are very happy when you speak English. as for the fact that foreigners are treated differently, I can say that the best attitude is towards the Arabs who rest there (you yourself understand why), the attitude towards other foreigners is slightly better due to the fact that they give generous tips and behave decently . we did not tip, if we could explain anything in English, we always smiled and the attitude was excellent.
vacationers from different countries: Egypt, England, Germany, Italy, Russia, Poland, etc. youth percent 30%, the rest is either families with children, or people over 50 years old.
excursions are cheaper to purchase from local distributors who will come to you on the beach or near the pool. You might even drop the price a little. we took from the guide, it turned out to be twice as expensive. but I am not responsible for the quality of the excursions taken on the beach. like the people went were satisfied, and then decide for yourself.

we went on an excursion to the Ras muhamed reserve by bus. the guide cost $45 per person. the tour is not worth the money, you will be taken to three places for swimming and will be told about the history and traditions of Egypt. however, the beauty and variety of reefs and fish is not impressive, you can see the same thing on your beach with a mask.
For lovers of discos, the Beach Hotel has its own free disco. drinks are free, music is good. if that you can go to a paid disco. in addition, there is an Oasis cafe near the Beach Hotel, where the artist sings well in the evening. animation is standard, with the usual program of the same. you can go.
There is a free bus from the hotel to Naama Bay (round trip) twice in the evening after dinner. You have to sign up for it at the reception. to the old city, if you want to, you need to take a taxi for $ 4, we went four.
The territory of the hotel is green and well-groomed. Improvement work is underway, but this does not cause any inconvenience to vacationers.
keep in mind that in order to call to Russia you need to buy a SIM card in local markets (be sure to take a foreign passport) for $ 4 and top up your balance. besides, you have to buy bottled water. The hotel does not provide water.
On a note, be sure to take medicine for the stomach. The water from the tap is not drinkable, and the coolers in the bar also smell of chlorine. in addition to medicines for the stomach, be sure to take medicines for the common cold, sore throats and other troubles of acute respiratory infections, as well as iodine, cotton wool, bandages, painkillers. better to take more than look there.
Summing up, I want to say that if you eat to relax and enjoy the sea and the sun, beautiful territory and decent food, then you are here. everything is on the level. if you are unlimited in finances and you want a little more pathos, then choose dreams beach resort.
