We have been to Egypt many times, we always chose good hotels, but this one is definitely the most beautiful! A very large, beautiful and well-groomed territory, immersed in flowers, many pools, a jacuzzi, there is even a water slide. There are also several beaches, on the largest one there is a volleyball and playground. When entering the water, the sand smoothly turns into corals, even if there are no special shoes, it does not matter. There is a pontoon, from which you can immediately get to the depth. As for Egypt, the staff is very decent, polite, do not beg for tips, not arrogant, almost everyone, at the very least, speaks Russian. The bulk of vacationers are Europeans, many Arabs, Russian-speaking 30 percent. The food is excellent, again, this is a rarity for Egypt. We rested with a child of 3.5 years, there were no problems with appetite. We initially paid full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Breakfast as usual, special thanks for the oatmeal and delicious yoghurts, pastries, as well as an excellent selection of fresh juices (orange, melon, mango, guava, strawberry, and cucumber!!! ) For lunch, we were offered two restaurants to choose from (at pool and near the sea), where you could choose dishes for free within 30 dollars. The prices there are democratic, the portions are huge, in general, this was enough for us. Dinners are themed, yes, soups were often not at all for children (but we didn’t need it, the children ate soup during the day), but the choice of dishes is sufficient, everything is very tasty !! ! The only thing is that drinks at dinner are paid separately.
The hotel rooms are spacious, renovated there for a long time, but everything was clean and functional. The room had an ironing board and an electric kettle with a selection of teas, sugar and coffee. The supply of free drinking water was replenished daily. The only problem is mosquitoes!! ! During the day they are not there, but after sunset, we, and especially the child, were very bitten! They turned on the hotel fumigator, turned on their brought one, anyway, at night something always rang under the ear. But, this is perhaps the only drawback that does not prevent us from coming here again and again!
By the way, they were extremely dissatisfied with the work of the meeting party of ANEX TOUR, our guide, no matter how hard we tried to call him and catch him, we were not lucky enough to see him, he never came to the meeting, the hotel is 20 minutes away (this is the maximum, we arrived in 10) from the airport, why did you need a transfer for 4!!! ! hours before departure is unclear. I had to refuse to write to him, but we got enough sleep, had a quiet breakfast, took a taxi and arrived at the airport ourselves, by the way, it turned out that the flight was delayed by 3.5 hours, it was a pity for the tourists who were forced to get up at 5 in the morning...
