Хороший отель Good hotel

We were seated immediately without any problems. After reading the reviews, first of all we checked the air conditioning and the operation of the shower, everything is in order. The room is clean, quiet, linen and towels are fresh, no insects disturbed.
The whole situation in the hotel is not new, there is no luxury, everything is simple, but clean and tidy.
For cleaning left a dollar or 5 pounds. Cleaned and changed towels every day, linen every 3 days. Cleaning was always done in our absence, did not interfere with rest in any way.
All valuables from the first day were kept in a safe at the reception (free of charge). But in principle, no one had any theft either in the hotel or on the beach. Nothing was missing from the room, on the beach people calmly left phones, glasses, etc. on the sunbeds, no one tried to steal. But risking valuable things is still not worth it (just in case).

The staff is smiling, polite and not pushy. Almost everyone understands Russian, there were no language problems at all. For those few who do not know Russian, their main requests could easily be explained even in our broken English.
In general, the hotel has a lot of Russians from all over the country, if you wish, it is very easy to find a company.
There is Wi-Fi in the hotel (free of charge), but only downstairs in the lobby it is possible to use it. During the day, when everyone is sunbathing more nimble, in the evening much slower. We Skyped from the phone, many were with laptops. For money, you can access the Internet from the hotel's computers ($ 4 per hour). The rooms also seem to be, but the signal is very weak.
The food is good, there is always a choice, every lunch and dinner - meat (beef), chicken, fish. Lots of different desserts and sweets. With fruits, they sadly gave some kind of citrus (something between an orange and a lemon, we didn’t understand), sometimes bananas or melons in syrup - you don’t really choose, and this citrus was tired by the end of the vacation, they bought the fruits themselves. At the very beginning of breakfast / lunch / dinner there are a lot of people and fuss, after 40-60 minutes the food ends, and a new one has not yet been brought. But after 70-80 minutes everything is fine: a lot of food, newly laid tables, no flea market. The food is normal, high quality, fresh, but the stomach can react to local seasonings and spices. It's best to take your medications with you just in case.
We took alcohol with us from the dutik, but since local drinks were included, we decided to try it. Beer, vodka, whiskey, rum, gin are available and free of charge. We didn’t try vodka (although according to other vacationers it is normal), everything else is quite high quality, we didn’t get poisoned by anything. The husband, basically, took either beer or cocktails (gin and tonic, rum and cola), you can drink without fear. For lovers of soft drinks - juice, cola, fanta, sprite, tonic. The cups are really small, but they give them without restriction. Beer in a bottle can be given for a tip, or if the relationship with the bartender is normal, but the bottle must be returned.

There is practically no entertainment at the hotel: a swimming pool with a net (they give a ball, you can play), ping-pong and that's it. The pool is large and clean with plenty of sunbeds. You can get a massage near the pool for money ($20 an hour) and a henna tattoo. On the territory there is a hookah - $ 2.
I would not recommend vacationing with children. There is nothing for children at all - no playground, no entertainment.
Big advice to vacationers - there are always bad people who put towels on the sunbed (like "busy"), while they themselves do not appear near the pool all day - you should not stand on ceremony with such people. You see that people do not come, remove the towels and rest in peace. There were attempts by such comrades to complain to the administration that they occupied sunbeds in the morning, came at lunchtime, and there other people were sunbathing. To which they were told that the rules of the hotel are prohibited from "reserving" sunbeds.
Once a week on Thursdays oriental show - belly dancing, skirt dance.
There is no private beach, but the sea is nearby, a five-minute walk. The beach is large, there are a lot of sunbeds, we always found free ones. You need to take a "ticket" to visit the beach at the reception and towels by the pool. It is better not to go into the sea barefoot - stones and corals, it is easy to get hurt. But we immediately bought special slippers for swimming ($ 4-5), and there were no problems. You definitely need masks with a snorkel (you can also use fins). a lot of fish, beautiful corals, we saw stingrays, octopus, moray eels. You can bring masks with you, or you can buy them on the spot (it’s better to take not plastic, but silicone ones (from $ 10), they are comfortable, you can swim for hours and the water does not flow).
Be sure to take a good sun cream (from 30 units and above), because. A couple of hours in the sun can cause severe sunburn.

Excursions can be taken from hotel guides, it can be cheaper on the beach (many highly recommend Comrade Walid) or in the city. We took from the guide, because. worried about insurance (it does not work if the excursions are not from the tour operator). And medical services are very expensive. Also, insurance is not valid if you were drunk. During our vacation, a girl, returning from a disco, broke her leg in her soul. Because I was drunk, I had to pay for everything myself (more than $ 300 instead of $ 30 for insurance).
We went on a motorcycle safari + camel riding + dinner with the Bedouins + a show program with them. I liked quad biking, but not so much camel riding. You could not go to the Bedouins (they are not real, the dinner is the same as in the hotel, the show is below average), it was not even worth spending money on it.
Were in the water park, it's something! Six hours flew by! More than 20 adult slides, a lot of entertainment for children, animation - everything is very cool! Worth a visit at least once!
We were also on the show "1001 Nights". It is definitely worth a look at the local flavor once. We took a tour operator, but in vain. You can just take a taxi (for two with a taxi and the entrance is about $ 15-20).
Because the hotel is located a little aside, you can walk to Naama Bay on the promenade in 15 minutes (you can also take a taxi, but it's not worth it). Barkers strive to drag you into their shop or cafe on the pretext of "give a business card" or "write a review. " The main thing here is not to succumb to provocations and buy only what you really need. T. K. they "fool" their heads professionally. You should not enter into conversations, immediately say "Know" and walk past. Forcibly drag you, of course, no one will. You should definitely bargain with them, all prices are calculated for this. By the way, there are no price tags anywhere.
The most important thing is to have a positive attitude towards people and to vacation in general, then it will be nice to have a rest!
And don't count on buying a 3* tour to get 5+! And for its top three "Fantasy" is more than pulling, even more.
Have a nice holiday!
