Hotel ratings by criteria:
I liked the hotel. Rested from 18 to 27 August 2018, a family of three. Tickets from Join Up, departure from Borispol to YANAIR delay of 1.5 hours, in the flight only drinks. Arrived in the evening, the time difference is 1 hour earlier. An ad from Join UP reported a free transfer from the airport to the hotel, even an uncle with a blue Grand Rotana sign was among the greeters, but they took a big bus, well, the hotel is close to the airport, 20 minutes.
Check-in: young people quickly arranged everything at the reception, did not have to give money, room on the ticket Deluxe rooms Side Sea view, but settled in Premium Rooms Sea Front, building 2, explained that few people and the hotel cares about customers. on mobile car brought to the room, brought things.
The room is old but clean, brought an extra folding bed for a child, a good mattress, the bed was changed every two days, towels daily.
The guy cleaner is very polite, cleaning without extra reminders, after tipping $ 1, forgot to bring one towel.
The air conditioner worked properly, made a little noise, but cooled the room in our absence well.
The heat of 37 degrees is easier to tolerate than in Turkey with its humidity, from 9 am on the beach, under an umbrella and until 11 am. then rest in the room and lunch, then afternoon rest and evening swimming from the pontoon to 18, so the beach is closed and lifeguards whistle and ask everyone to shore. sunscreen is required
Food: there is a choice, tried to eat whole vegetables and unprocessed meat products, in the far hall regularly grilled dishes, fish dishes: squid, scallops, mussels, grilled fish, everything was present, but the quality left much to be desired. Pastries and cakes are varied and delicious.
There were always enough places whenever they came, waiters, polite, attentive guys, friendly relations with some, at the end of the holiday they already knew that for dinner Daddy-whiskey with ice, Mommy-white wine, baby-mango juice.
as in the movie)
at the end we went to the restaurant a la carte Palms, fish dishes, not bad enough, grilled red fish, assorted fish, shrimp, squid, were satisfied.
Beach and swimming: There were always places on the sunbeds, beach terrace, several tiers, three pontoons, no queues for descent into the water, especially enjoyed walking on a plastic pontoon near the diving club.
Reef - a special story, just wonderful, fish as they say - the sea, mask and snorkel - of course, better with you, not to run to the shopping center (price from $ 7-10 for simple or $ 20-40 mask for the whole face , in any case, bargaining is appropriate), Diving - better in the club, 40 $ c person and 20 minutes of time when you swim from the pontoon, you can see how people walk and swim under you, somewhat reminiscent of the characters from the movie about Captain Nemo, for comparison , tour of Dahab, 1 hour by bus, with a bathyscaphe ride (the reef is poor and there are not many fish, and there is no live contact, only through the glass).
about diving - in general it is possible not to speak, all who arrived have passed, 5 minutes (quickly and not deeply) the instructor accompanies, nothing that is impossible - neither to move flippers, nor to paddle hands, he stupidly carries your body from a tail to a boat nose, Price travel $ 75 from an adult, from a child 20 (although the guide Ahmet said 10), in the end from a child 12 years old, took nothing, apparently due to the duration of the dive. .
Another instructor - a photographer - takes pictures, well, if you are alone in the frame, and mostly with the "shadow",
the price of the photo is $ 15 per person, you can bargain, agreed on 10, everything is copied to disk, when we went back, in the bus loaded on the phone to another person for 8. Lunch was a traditional visit to the shops, but the prices are more expensive than at the hotel or in Soho.
And on excursions: traveled for free, sightseeing of the city, with a visit to Peace Square and visiting the mosque and the Coptic Church, I liked everything and very informative, many thanks to the girl-guide from Join Up, with Ukrainian roots and Egyptian man for a meaningful story life and family traditions. Another free - Soho Square, 500 meters of one-way shops and back, purchase of a voucher for $ 9 per person, from Ahmet (guide from Join UP)
to buy water, ice cream and bowling - a bad waste of money, bring better water or juice in jars at the beach bar or pool. Singing fountains - did not impress, in Sochi in the 80's were better, Shops and bars - full, lots of neon and light, you can take good photos, and the hookah smoke in the cafe near the fountain is not on its own, many locals and noisy.
As for all inclusive bars, a couple of days to understand, but there are instructions on the TV channel, what and where it works, and guide Ahmet at the meeting will tell you when he will pair tours, you can write a receipt that you refuse,
Evening leisure is not boring, the show in the amphitheater oriental dances, fireworks show, animators, our compatriots, well-done girls are trying. All inclusive bars near the reception: you can sit in the cool and immerse yourself in the world of hotel life, different people, different views.
Sky Bar, passage through Ramses Restaurant, live music and outdoor terrace, beautiful garden views, sea and endless starry sky, drinks and hookah, dancing - few, mostly watching and smoking, many locals and many with small children.
For myself, I confirm the category of the hotel by the number of cars in the parking lot, if many and expensive, so the local hotel in honor and at the entrance to the hotel, when the bus outside checked with a dog and need to go through the scanner and of course the title of the hotel palm trees. water with beating fountains (which caused great admiration of our fellow travelers on arrival at the hotel after excursions)
Souvenirs and fruit: better in kiosks near the hotel, mangoes $ 2-3, magnets 1-2, took a plate for 8, the same in Soho after the auction 9, and in Dahab asked for 15, in any case, the auction is appropriate and sellers reduce prices.
Traders are really impudent, almost pulling their hands to look at the goods, especially women, but the lexicon is developed, especially in words from the past, such as Komsomol, beauty, etc. , Russian is well spoken.
Transfer from the hotel: taken from the room on a mobile car, at the reception gave lunch box, very useful, so before the flight again only drinks.
SkyUp in Zhulyany is reliable and timely.
Conclusion: The holiday was a success, the sea, reef and palm trees - just wonderful. The staff is polite and attentive, greeted with a smile. The rest, Sorry for syntax and punctuation. Come, you will not regret it! Have a good rest !
