We chose the hotel for a long time, the task was to find a good sandy beach. we went on vacation to swim in the sea, and with a small child and a visually impaired grandfather it is very inconvenient to swim from a pontoon. In Sharm, sandy large beaches in hotels of a low price category were no longer found. And here it is chic, wide, no one sits on your head and looks in... The sea is clean. Often there are waves because. there are no corals straight ahead, they are only on the sides. My son and I looked at the fish on the left, the Arab Said still lives there in the hut, who told us everything, showed us and swam with us, arranged an excursion, then also gave us tea cooked on a fire. In general, we became friends with him, then a day later we went there.
The hotel itself is very colorful and unusual, when you get to the reception it seems that you are in an Arab palace - beautiful old furniture, a beautiful chandelier, sculptures and decor - everything looks very expensive and authentic.
There are many ladders on the territory, large and small. With a child, especially with a stroller, it is inconvenient. For an adult and healthy person, however, this will not cause any inconvenience.
Another nuance - for us it turned out to be very important, the road to the beach is inconvenient, it is not far from the distance, but you have to go around, step over stones, cross the road . . then go along the deserted sandy area. From the photo it seemed that walking would be fine, in practice it was very difficult to walk with a small child. They began to travel by bus, but his schedule is built so that the last bus from the beach leaves at 17:30, and the child has a quiet hour and sleeps until 17... In short, we did not have time and then we still walked home with hysteria . then they began to wake up earlier, so that at least a little in the evening could be on the beach. for us, it was the sea, not the pools, that was the main thing.
By the way, the pools there are excellent, very beautiful and varied, there is an artificial wave, fountains, a bar in an artificial grotto, very beautiful. The second system of pools is also good, in a quiet part of the hotel, our rooms went out just on them, there was an impression that these were our personal pools. there are very few people in the hotel and rarely anyone went there.
I’ll tell you about this separately, most of the buildings are closed, only 4-5 out of, probably, 15 are used. There are very few people, which we liked. Sometimes it seemed that there were more staff than hotel guests.
The staff is friendly, does not always understand Russian or even English, but you can negotiate. The food is good, there is not much of it, but it is tasty and of good quality. The cook listened to the request and began to prepare soup without pepper and spices so that the child could eat. Water in the hotel is only from coolers, but without any problems they were allowed to pour it with them into their own bottles.
The managers are very responsive and pleasant people, special thanks to them, they made sure that we had a good rest and everything was comfortable and good.
Lunches are held outside by the pool. It's beautiful, but, again, we were uncomfortable with a small child. he always strove to run away and flop into the pool, especially since there was no highchair for a child at dinner.
The rooms are not new but very interesting with vaulted ceilings and Arabic style design. We had 2 rooms next to each other on the first floor, our terraces were reported, which was mega convenient for us, as we arrived as a family of 5 people (grandparents and me with two children, 7 and almost 2 years old) and ran to visit all the time to each other.
There is a problem with mosquitoes. Our fumigators did not help them, on the very first night the children were bitten badly, then they asked the reception to poison them, and they disappeared. Repeated this a couple more times and watched the doors, this solved the problem.
Bottom line: with some shortcomings, in general, they were satisfied with the rest at the hotel, especially considering the low price.
