Review about the hotel Island View (Island View Resort) and not only. I will write a lot about everything, but maybe a review will help someone. For the first time I write not only about the hotel, but about everything in general.
We rested together with my husband in April, from 4 to 14.2021. I will say right away that the hotel is good and we liked it. About the tour operator: there was an anex. There were no problems with him, unlike join up, in past trips. The plane was terrible and small, everything hurt for a day after it, we paid extra for good seats back. The crew is normal. Drinks were served once, and they sold goods with duty free. You could ask for a glass of water. You can take small juices on the plane, and take fruits or cookies, bars. You may want to eat. Azureair airline. They just had good flights. We flew from Borispol terminal D (it's good that it's not f), and all smoking rooms were closed. Everyone was in shock. They say it's already open. Interested, who needs it, this question in advance.
There were no delays, but the flight was postponed an hour earlier.
Picked up from hotel at 3pm. We had lunch. The bracelets were not cut off. We passed the control at the airport for a long time, everyone is watching very closely, you also need to take off your shoes, they looked at the suitcases. Therefore, pick up from the hotel in advance. No one was taken to Soho. Do not pre-wrap suitcases. Take the film and tape with you, whoever does this to save money. After passing the control, wind up. See that there is no excess. This hotel does not have a scale. And we took the canter. Many, when checking in luggage, were transferred to hand luggage, then it was not weighed. Check this in advance and the baggage allowance. When we arrived there, everyone passed quickly. It is not a long drive to the hotel, it is near the airport, but there is no noise from it in the hotel. It takes a maximum of half an hour to get to the hotel, and this is with the fact that along the way he stops at a couple more hotels.
We were at the hotel at 8 in the morning, paid for early check-in, we were put on bracelets and we went to breakfast.
When we returned, we were taken to the room in a typewriter, along with luggage. The territory is large, well-groomed. There was almost no grass of yellow or dry palm trees. Everything is beautiful, palm trees, cacti, yucca, plumeria and many other plants. Our room was approximately in the center, the same way to the sea and to the main building with a restaurant and reception on the second floor. These are not buildings, but separate houses, for 4 rooms. On the first terrace and rooms like two-room, on the second with a balcony. By the way, the Wi-Fi at the reception was, but weak when a lot of people are sitting. It is better to buy a SIM card on the Internet, when leaving at the airport, it is cheaper than other places. We took vodafone this time. Take the number of GB according to your needs. If you're going to throw photos / videos / cost / TT, take more GB, the more the better. Then from one body you can distribute the Internet to a second body or two. But traffic eats black, any operator.
The guide is normal and adequate. He took a tour.
Survey (well, you know, leather-fur, there is a lot of bargaining, the prices are hoo). The second to Cairo by bus, at that time a visa was not needed. They were satisfied. Some tours require a visa, check with the travel agency. We have already been on all the other excursions a hundred times. Do not rush to take excursions from a guide, he is much more expensive, but this is his bread. Whoever is the first time, they always birut the guide, they are afraid. For long distances and other cities, it is better to take from a guide. And all sorts of safaris can be found at half the price. If you don’t find it or don’t want to look, but you came for a couple of weeks, you can then buy it from the guide, even though at the beginning he will say that you can’t. We can say that the money was thrown off to you and an opportunity arose. he won't refuse. There, our friends received a salary and on the 5th day they took two excursions from him.
Think about what excursions you want, read the reviews. Nal small need that would be. For 1 dollar. For tea and travel. The exchange is very difficult. You can say it doesn't exist.
In the store opposite the hotel, they didn’t sell me a cola because there was supposedly no task. In local currency the task can be. Where there is a terminal, it is better to pay them. Taxis are expensive, bargain. Taxis in the hotel are more expensive than on the street. The minibus is even cheaper, $ 1 per person to any point. There is a problem with the toilet in the old city. He alone, only at the mosque, costs 1 dollar per person. We didn't find any more. Cafes may not let you in or ask for a dollar per person, even if you buy water or smoothies from them.
Travel agency 5 seasons. They are great as always and gave us a great tour.
There is a good summerkat with a fixed price in Naama Bay, called Carrefour, there was a payment terminal.
The hotel itself is not new, but the service at the hotel is 10 out of 10! We had 631k number. 200s closer to the sea. I liked the location of rooms from 240 to 260, these are closer to the sea. But not right next to it, there is a lot of traffic there. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony.
They took a rope from home to hang clothes and clothespins to dry when it was windy. The view was of a garden with a playground. Very cute. The fact that it is not with a sea view, it does not matter at all. It was even better for us, it was comfortable. I love nature, sit in the evening and look at exotic plants. In general, most of the time we spent not in the same room. The janitor twisted the figures in the room, cleaning every day, they periodically left $ 1 for tea. There was no theft (in another hotel my jacket was stolen). Yes, it was a little noisy due to the fact that the playground, but after 21 there was silence. Music from Soho Square or neighboring hotels is not heard, and in the evening the music of the hotel itself is also not heard. It didn't interfere with sleep. But the entertainment programs were great, and the animation was good.
Sea: one pontoon was at the time we were resting. There is a lifeguard. There is a diving club, you can dive. The reef is good, better than in Siva charm or Hilton, there were enough fish. We were 11 days. There is a spa, etc.
When it was cool, there were fewer fish. Be sure to bring a blouse for the evening. Swim masks can be bought at the hotel. There are shops, not expensive but haggle. A supermarket, pharmacy across the road. Gorgeous Soho Square, you definitely won't be bored there. There is also a good pharmacy on the corner, with a terminal and a receipt. You can go to the pharmacy near Naama Bay, where the Marriot hotel is (it has already been renamed, but the drivers know). a pharmacy with a fixed price, they give a check, this is the cheapest pharmacy chain, called elzabi, you can go to George Clooney's store, look about him on the Internet. And attention, there was an ATM in the hotel! And he was a worker. It's important for me. I hope he always works there.
The food is different, and meat and fish, fruits and vegetables. There was enough of everything, and a lot of variety. For breakfast, eggs, scrambled eggs, donuts, croissants, fruits. fish and meat were for lunch and dinner. Shawarma was, grill, kebab. Don't go hungry, there is always a choice.
And there was a holiday when we were resting, then in general everything was gorgeous, everything was decorated and there were dances among the tables and music, cocktails. There were enough tables, only at dinner it was sometimes difficult to find a place. We arrived early and took a table outside. It was hot inside. If not enough, they open another part. There was only one restaurant for food. Everything else is closed (there is no beach, closed, only drinks). There are bars near the pools. Local alcohol, quite acceptable, you can drink. There are juices like UPI, normal coffee and tea. Fresh for a fee. They can make non-alcoholic or alcoholic cocktails at the bar.
Three swimming pools in this hotel. On the first two, which near the reception was always full of people and children, there are slides. The third one is further, it is near the sea. There are supposedly fountains from above, you can sit there, it will be like a jacuzzi. We loved hanging out with him.
Beach: chaise longues are a bit old. Some are newer, some are older. Choose. There was always enough space.
Where there is closer to the sea and where there is a bar, there are always a lot of people. Less on the second floor. We rested there. There is always music playing on the beach.
Number: the shower worked, the water was warm. Sometimes you have to wait for the water to glass. The door to the bathroom did not close well, I called the reception, the issue was resolved. The carpenter came twice. Something happened to my safe, something to the batteries. I couldn't open it at all. I called in a panic, they came quickly, reassured me, and fixed it. I asked for an ashes in the room on the balcony, they also moved it. I called, the towels were changed (they were changed in the rooms on demand, they didn’t give cards, both beach and regular ones). What to take with you? Small dollars. Take sunscreen and after, two towels to take on an excursion, use them when you have a late flight and everything is handed over to the reception, a fumigator and cream after a mosquito bite if you get into the season with mosquitoes. We had them, not a lot, the territory was cultivated.
The staff is friendly, at the entrance to the restaurant for lunch, they always asked if everything was fine. The rooms are already well-worn. But, issues with them were quickly resolved.
Would you come here again? I thought yes.
The only thing I didn't really like was that there was only one key. It is very uncomfortable. The husband either goes to the bar, or to the pool or sleeps in the room so that he cannot be woken up. And I can go alone to the sea or to Soho. In short, it is not very convenient with one key. In all the hotels where we were, there were always two keys. (If possible, please answer me about the keys, why so, what's the problem? )
Here, most of all, the main thing is rest, and the sea, and it is gorgeous here. Yes, the reef is better than the Hilton and Siwa. I want to come here again.
