Settlement and number
We drove from the airport for about an hour, we were the penultimate drop off. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30. We were lucky that Ahmed Whalaf was at the reception, after 20 minutes we had the key to the room and at 11 we were already unpacking. He is the only one who understands Russian and is more understanding than the others with whom he had to communicate. You might get a better room if you don't forget to grab chocolates for treats on your trip.
We got the 211 Garden view chalet overlooking the manicured lawn and palm trees, which is nice to walk barefoot. The location is convenient, everything is nearby - beach, restaurant, swimming pool. The room was clean, everything worked. In the bathroom, one could find fault with trifles, but in general everything works. In addition, there is a stretchable clothesline. During the night with the fan turned on, the swimming trunks and the swimsuit have time to dry. Every day there was cleaning, towels were changed and were always clean without stains and fluffy.
The room has a smart TV Samsung 40”, there are ten Ukrainian and Russian channels in excellent quality. Ukrainian channels around the 160s (1+1.2+2, Tet, 112, etc. ). Hot water was at any time of the day.
The room has a free safe, paid bar. Every day they bring a bottle and a half of water. We had enough, for those who do not have enough, they can get it in a cooler in a restaurant.
Nutrition
The first time we had not "All Inclusive", but "Full Board". The difference is that there are no alcoholic drinks and all bars are paid. I was surprised that there were no queues and fuss in the restaurant. The hall is always half empty.
The cooks did their best, everything was tasty and varied. There was always beef and chicken in different forms, as well as grilled dinner (kebab, grilled wings, fish fillet, etc. ). Lots of salads with fresh and stewed vegetables. Delicious cakes. Of the fruits were: melon, dates, oranges, tangerines, guava, persimmon. Always found something tasty.
There were stingrays and once a squid.
Entertainment
In the hotel itself, the animation is weak. At 20:00, performances can be shown near the restaurant for half an hour. There are quite interesting dances. On the beach, they invite you to exercise, to yoga, to volleyball.
In the evening you can walk along the promenade, go to the Naama Bay market, buy fruit. Near the hotel (in fact, on its territory) there is a Bedouin tent. Entrance from the promenade. There, in a cozy atmosphere, you can smoke a hookah for $ 3 or 50 pounds.
Tours
Oddly enough, this time we took excursions from a guide and were satisfied. Guide Ahmet from Coral Travel Odeon is calm and polite. Didn't threaten, like some, if we don't take excursions from him.
The first is a panoramic view + King Tut Museum + lunch at the Mahony fish restaurant. It costs $15. Given the museum and the restaurant, this is normal. Lunch was squid soup, followed by a heaping bowl of huge prawns. I recommend to go there even without a tour.
A kilo of shrimp can be bought for $10. They can cook right in front of you.
The second is a glass bottom boat trip + banana boat ride + pirate yacht to a sandy island that disappears at high tide + snorkeling in the Ras Mohammed area. It cost us 55 per person. I also think it's ok. Street agencies did not have such complex excursions.
On the beach, they offered a parachute flight for $ 20 for two, one for $ 15. But you can negotiate for two for $ 15. Not scary at all, even for those who are afraid of heights.
A catamaran on Gafy beach cost 80 pounds per hour ($1=16 pounds). You can swim far into the sea and snorkel there. We met the big Napoleon.
On the second day we went to the SPA. For $ 50 they offer a sauna, a steam room, a hammam with foam and a scrub + a back massage for two. We always do this at the beginning of the rest, although doctors say that it is not good for the skin.
I recommend using tanning oils (sold in pharmacies) based on carrot seed oil. The tan is better.
There was an unfortunate incident. We noticed that the level in the Jagermeister bottle drops after cleaning without our participation. As a result, the cleaner was fired (and we also left him a dollar), and as an apology from the hotel, a plate of fruit was brought to the room. Before that, the cleaner was different, he scattered flowers on the bed and twisted the towels, regardless of the reward.
In general, the rest was satisfied. The hotel, we liked the tranquility, green area and location. Who needs more entertainment, then Sharm Dreams is across the road. It's more fun there, but the second line.
Fayrouz definitely recommend.
