We rested at the hotel from December 31 to January 7.2011. Before buying a ticket, I surfed the entire Internet, read everything and reviewed all the pictures, as if I had already been there.
The hotel is like a hotel, the location is very good - at the beginning of the bay and on the 1st line.
But if in order. In Egypt, the 5th time and did not expect anything special. However, unpleasantly screwed up with the transfer. Arrived - Tez Turov yellow Arab guys with signs met - I called the hotel - they said the bus. We are waiting... everyone has left, and we are standing and waiting near the bus. In general, it turned out that they were waiting for the wrong flight. In short, the husband freaked out - we went by taxi - they did not wait for the next flight. They agreed to take it only for 30 bucks (they wanted 50 initially), and what can you do - the airport, although it takes 20 minutes to get to the hotel. In addition, taxi drivers drive - not to the hotel itself, but to the taxi rank - that is, from it along the shops, etc. along the paving stones with chumadans (fortunately, I knew where the hotel was and how to get to it). The evil ones have arrived. We bought beer on the way. At the reception, a smiling comrade registered us and gave us the key to the room - but I look - it’s the 1st floor, and we have a Deluxe paid for - and it’s on floors 5-6... On December 31, it’s 5 o’clock in the evening - anger rolls in, and he only shrugged it off - they say - what did you want the New Year not only with you but also with us... Like, all the local rooms were taken - tomorrow at 12 you will have your Deluxe, but for now call - we can’t help you! We drank beer, sat, it seems that not everything is so scary.
Gala dinner.
Gala dinner included in a binding for 95 c. u. per person took place on the lawn near the hotel. They covered everything with tents, set up a stage, tables and all that. For bringing your own alcohol 30 c. u. You can also buy a local one from them and they will put it on your table. Too expensive and suspicious. Wine at the hotel is not served for free either on New Year's Eve or on ordinary days. At the entrance they examined, but I smiled broadly and carried Baileys in a ladies' purse, and then a bottle of champagne unnoticed. There was a lot of food and, quickly sated, I just wanted to sleep. The flight, etc. , had an effect. All the same, it is necessary to come for such an event in advance, probably or with a large cheerful company.
And I can also say - I didn’t experience the buzz from the New Year under a palm tree - there was no real feeling. Still, ours is snow, a Christmas tree, fireworks, champagne, Olivier (conditionally), the president at 12 at night in a box, slides, sleds, etc....And so - how simple the event turns out. At least they decorated it as best they could. There was a beautiful artificial Christmas tree in the lobby, well, deer everywhere, etc....
They also sold a Christmas gala dinner - for 45 USD, it seems. We just ate and left. Covered on the terrace. It was cool, dark, and at first the aunt danced a belly dance on the stage, and then another aunt sang something mournfully. Then they turned on the music and the people danced around the stage. Voschem fun.
Every evening the animators invited to different clubs - to Pasha, Little Buddha, Hard Rock. Everything is nearby - 1-3 minutes walk from the hotel. Prices ($ 10-30 with a drink) For party-goers, obviously an undoubted convenience, but since my husband is not one, I couldn’t even take a look;
We went to the water park by taxi (Albatross) 30 c. u. entrance, there is also Cleo Park - nearby, it seems behind the Hilton Dream hotel.
For beer, fruits and knick-knacks we went to the Old City - 3 c. u. Beer is 7.5 pounds. In Naama, cheaper than 10 was not seen. In Panorama - near the hotel - 12 it seems. Stela is better. The hotel serves Luxor…
The tour guide sits in the lobby each morning but has not been approached. His business is to sell excursions and that's it.
The sea was warm. There were no sharks. Although, walking along the coast, we noticed closed beaches near some hotels (the rope is stretched and that's it). Or the men on the towers sit and whistle if someone swims far away. No one whistled at us, although there was no area for swimming - boats moored there.
The hotel is the main building (superior rooms 1-4 floors without a balcony, 5-6 deluxe rooms with a balcony) and Royal rooms near the pool. All inclusive is food in the restaurant and pool bar from 10 am. There is beer in plastic cups, coffee, cola and cocktails (brown local moonshine is mixed with cola, and white moonshine and 7-up). In the Lobby bar (where the reception is) and the beach - for a fee.
It's confusing, but I don't know what else to write about. Egypt is Egypt. If anyone has a question, I can answer by email.
