A few days ago we arrived from our beloved and always sunny Sharm!! ! We flew with TezTour. We were very satisfied: no changes in the time of departure / arrival. Everything is very clearly worked out. The guide was at the hotel every day, did not impose any excursions - he just told me once, always answered questions. TezTour also provided free tickets to discos in the city. Another important point: they buy good rooms for their customers - accordingly, there are no problems with not paying 20 bucks - live in a bad room. Now about the fabulous hotel: El Hayat Sharm Resort. Even at the entrance to the hotel you understand that you found yourself in an ancient Egyptian town, the architecture of the courtyard, as well as the rooms, only confirms this. The territory is very cozy, green, with many waterfalls, small creeks, stone heaps. The rooms are clean, comfortable, made in the same style as the outdoor architecture. In each room, a picture is painted on the wall above the beds: a portrait or a landscape, covered with Egyptian motifs. Very soft beds, the room has a refrigerator, TV, safe, hair dryer, the furniture is quite new, not shabby. The bathroom is also cozy, with a washbasin, toilet, shelves and a spacious shower. There is also a balcony, we had it right on the patio, and we could enjoy the awesome view of our hotel. We were just delighted with the room. It was cleaned daily. We left a dollar for tea to the cleaner, as a result, instead of 4 towels, we always had 8-10, everything was clean and the bed was fresh every day, and, of course, cranes, flowers, etc. woven from towels, etc. As I already I said - the territory of the hotel is very beautiful and stylish. There are 3 swimming pools. The animators are young cheerful guys: I don’t know how they entertained me in the morning, because right after breakfast we went to the beach, but after lunch we went to our interests: water polo, darts, mini tennis in the pool, dancing or just sun / air baths. After dinner disco by the pool until 11pm. There is a hookah bar on site. There are also many places where you can just sit and chat. Free wi-fi at the reception. Food: very tasty food. There was a wide variety of dishes, a lot of simply awesome pastries, from fruits: bananas, pears, melons, goava, dates, apples, a lot of vegetables. In general, the food was very satisfied. Alcohol is also ok, but since we are not drinkers, we had more than enough cocktails that the staff made for us. The staff is very kind, helpful, BUT on the condition that you are not drunk on the horns of a Russian who is rude to everyone in search of booze. There were enough such comrades, and to be honest, if I were the staff, I would generally ignore them. We were polite and friendly with everyone, as a result, everyone smiled, asked about the rest, talked, and in the restaurant, when we appeared, they immediately brought drinks that we usually took. To be honest. then I found out the day before departure what really happened. you have to take drinks yourself, we were always served by oyiuants - wonderful guys !! ! The same applies to all the staff, and indeed the Egyptians - if you communicate with them in a friendly and friendly manner, they are the most hospitable, kind, interesting and cheerful people who will always help, prompt, help out in difficult times. Convinced from personal experience. Beach. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the beach at first. We were taken by a bus a little further away, and we sunbathed several times on a strange beach, while none of the staff said anything, looked with surprise at our coupons, but gave out soft drinks. When we finally got to our beach, it turned out to be very good. This is the beach of the Laguna Vista hotel, owned by the same owner as El Hayat. It is easy to recognize by the company emblem (it is depicted on the towels and windows of the hotel). When you are brought to the beach, check if it is Laguna Vista or not. Basically. you can also walk on foot through the very beautiful territory of the Laguna Vista hotel, it will take 6-10 minutes. Animation is constantly working there, which also applies to our hotel - do not be shy - participate. The beach has a great bar and showers. It is very good to relax there with children, because somewhere about a kilometer and a half from the shore the water is not above the knee. There are very few fish and corals, but this is typical for the entire coast of Nabh. Market and Naama Bay. By taxi, this pleasure will cost 10 dollars, by minibus 3 local pounds. We did just that, because it was not the first time in Sharm and we know coral beaches, sometimes we went there to admire the beauties of the sea. We took excursions at the NAAMA BEY center at the ITALI ITALI agency from Olya and Maga. Luxor by plane for $ 160, Jerusalem for $ 90, cheaper than the guide for $ 100, went to Ras Mohamed, and on a motorcycle safari. Their phone code is Egypt (+2.0191771770. As for entertainment outside the hotel, but not far from it. If you go left, you will come to a European-style avenue with a McDuck, Chinese and European restaurants and a small market with local souvenirs. If you go to the right, you can get into an Arab street cafe and feel like an Egyptian: smoke an excellent hookah, drink fresh juices or Bedouin tea (you can also drink something strong), an oriental show is also periodically held there (a yogi fakir, an Egyptian with belly dancing, skirt dancing) - the show is simply beyond praise, the owner of the restaurant is a very hospitable and cheerful young man: A little further behind the cafe there is a souvenir market, etc. , where prices are quite low. The only not very pleasant thing is that there are several shops with intrusive sellers on the outskirts of the hotel. Do not rush to buy from them, they sell everything more expensive than in the markets and other shops. First, check out the prices and assortment outside, and only then. if you still want to go to them. In general, only the brightest memories remained from the hotel and from the rest, and I really want to be there again !! ! I highly recommend this hotel!! !
