Territory
The hotel grounds are very large and considering the golf course is huge. There is where to walk and find a place to relax. Even when fully loaded it will not be cramped. The main building essentially divides the territory into two parts. Each has its own swimming pool and recreation area with a bar. The main pool or Laguna pool is more like a tropical water park, although there are only two slides in it, but there are many streams, backwaters and bridges. There is a volleyball net. The pool on the other side of the building has a children's area and hydromassage facilities. Lots of greenery, trees, bushes, flowers. Everything is regularly cleaned and cleaned. There is a play area for kids. It looks like everything was designed and built quite soundly. Of course, the hotel is not new and wear is noticeable in the details

beach/reef
One of the main factors why people choose this hotel. The beach area is very interesting.

It is a rocky slope with wooden structures placed on it. Bridges, steps, gazebos, terraces, sheds. All from wood. It's very beautiful and interesting. There are places to walk and things to see. The hotel has three pontoons. Three wooden, reliable pontoons. Each of us has umbrellas and sun loungers. From the middle one they ride on a banana and other inflatable attractions. The reef is alive with lots of coral and fish. Near the pontoons there are several schools of fish that are quite friendly. Lots of surgeons, parrots, butterflies. . Neighbors managed to observe a whale shark and stingrays right next to the pontoon. Moray eels and lionfish live in the reef, they can swim out during the day. The depth under the reef is about 5-6 meters.

Number
Standard room with balcony and courtyard view. Quite spacious and bright. Two single beds, two armchairs, a table. TV LCD. Refrigerator, safe, air conditioning, kettle. Everything is working. In the loggia there is a table and two bamboo chairs.
Unfortunately, the taste characteristics of the food are not at all gourmet. . Much depends on the quality of the products, something depends on the preparation. For example, out of at least six potato dishes, more or less there was only fries. Sausages and sausages are similar to them only in appearance. The cheese is more like our Druzhba processed cheese. Desserts are mostly tasteless. As well as fruits, which saddens more than anything else. Apparently in hotels they are of very low quality, since you can buy pretty decent ones on the market. Juice is a total laugh. 10% juice, the rest water and sugar. You can drink of course, but it's not juice. Tea bags, coffee from the machine. Who is used to such a house, that's fine. We used coupons to go to Lebanese and European restaurants. There is a completely different food, everything is very tasty and beautiful. In general, it is impossible to stay hungry, but some will have to choose dishes for themselves.
Staff and service

Everyone is trying very hard.
Everyone is ready to help you, even if they do not understand what you want from them. Service without pretensions, smile, greet, open doors. In a restaurant, they will always find a table and offer drinks and empty dishes will be taken away. In which case, all disputes can be resolved through Angela, since not all staff even speak English at the proper level.

Peculiarities

The hotel is located a little away from the road, which on the one hand provides a certain silence, but on the other hand, you have to take a taxi to the store or the market. Due to the absence of Russians, many hotels were forced to reorient themselves to the domestic market, including Maritim. 90% of visitors are Arabs. For many of the remaining 10, this becomes a very unpleasant surprise, although if you look into it, there are no serious reasons for this. Yes, there are a lot of Arabs, yes, they are noisy and they are decently piggy in the restaurant.
For this reason, the food zone for Europeans was moved to a separate room. This is a huge plus for the hotel. Noisy in places yes, but mostly only by the main pool where ours usually do not rest. In addition, the Arabs do not drink, and accordingly you will not see drunk Ahmad shouting “Kaiiir! ! ! » jumping from a palm tree into a pool. Coming to Egypt it is natural to be among the Egyptians. In addition, they seemed quite friendly and non-confrontational people. By the way, the hotel workers themselves repeatedly apologized for the somewhat careless behavior of their compatriots.

Conclusion
In general, the hotel was very satisfied. The area is great, the staff is very nice. There is always a lot of food, and it is always different. The beach area is just amazing. The reef was delightful. There is where to walk, there is something to see. Thank you Maritim Jolie Ville Golf!
