Hi all. We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of March. Of the pluses, one can note the most excellent menu in the restaurant. I went with my son and for both there was deliciously cooked food (for example, in the morning my son ate balls with milk, and I had sausages with eggplant, plus both wrapped pancakes, the menu included crabs, mussels, fish, beef, tomatoes, fruit spinach were guava, oranges, melon, pomelo). Also of the pluses can be noted drinks that you could drink around the clock, as well as drinks and buns on the beach. The room was cleaned every day (we left a dollar and we were spinning towels). The air conditioner in the room didn’t work at first - we left a request at the reception and the master came up in 30 minutes (you had to insert the card and everything worked right away), though later it didn’t work either and the air conditioner stopped turning on but it wasn’t hot and we didn’t call the master anymore. For those who will go, take FUMITOX - our mosquito friends had a sea, and there you can’t bargain for less than 7 dollars. True, there were no mosquitoes in our room 8023 and we shared this wonderful device with our bitten new acquaintances. Every morning at about 5:30 local time, we got up and went swimming in Shark Bay (walk 30 minutes at a calm pace) there is a beautiful coral on a paid beach, though if you come in the morning you can swim for free (at least we didn’t pay money) even though the local beach comrades directly told us that we should pay. During the day, this beach on Shark Bay costs $ 5 per adult, it is not from the hotel, so there are no free drinks there - this is a minus. And on this beach we went to drink hibiscus tea to Dr. Hussein (although of course he is not a doctor but an ordinary oil trader) - he sold us his aroma oil. The hotel's own beach is a 30-minute drive from the hotel, buses run on schedule - of course there is a crowd in the morning, but we always left (although this is a minus). The beach has showers, a toilet, a bunch of sunbeds, a swimming pool, a bar with free drinks and of course the sea. On your own beach, if you sail straight 100 meters - although you can’t sail away, but move away because it’s a bit small, there is depth and a small coral, but there are fish, even clown fish on anemones : ). But if you go to the left for about 1 kilometer, there is a wild beach on which is the most beautiful coral with a stormy and varied living creatures. Near the beach there is the Old Market - a passage through the park on which there is a Russian restaurant. If you linger and do not leave on the last bus, which leaves at 16:30, then you can get to the hotel by taxi - the price is 7-8 dollars - as you bargain.
The hotel has a kids club (although we have never been there, but our friends were), a children's disco and playgrounds. Played their free half-hour billiards. Every day there was an evening program from the animators - one day of Miss Gordenia, one day of dancing, one day of a fire show (I liked it very much). Also, the animation was on the beach (but somehow we were more fond of the sea). In conclusion, I want to say that the first impression of Egypt in which we were the first time the hotel created a favorable one for us.
