I love Egypt. For the sea, for the climate, for a good price-quality ratio. This time (3rd) we traveled for the first time with a child (1.5 years old). Accordingly, the Laguna Vista Garden hotel was chosen and seen through the eyes of the parents of a one and a half year old daughter.
Territory. Infrastructure – 5+
As many noted in their reviews, Very green (everything really smells fragrant),
Very beautiful, original, well-planned. The hotel is compact and cozy.
The pool is small, but stretched over the territory, which gives a sufficient number of places for sunbeds, which still need to be occupied at 7 in the morning for the simple reason that they are occupied by a pool-boy in person, and then successfully distributed among foreign citizens for tips. Liked the hot tub in the pool. A good bar by the pool (in the morning puffs for sleepyheads, then fast food and coffee-tea in normal dishes). He's a bar at the reception.
The first impression when we arrived: through the huge windows-walls of the hotel lobby, you can see the pool bar, the pool itself, the territory and tanned vacationers. Everything is at arm's length, so to speak, and you immediately plunge into this atmosphere of complete relaxation.
The main restaurant is pleasant, with a huge thatched-roof terrace overlooking the shopping promenade, Laguna Vista Beach and the sea (in the distance). There are always places, even on the terrace. In the evenings, be sure to have candles on every table.
Number 5-
We lived in a one-story bungalow. Number - standard. This hotel, unlike Laguna Beach, is good because all the rooms are about equally good (the view from the window, I mean), but also because even the usual standard is a one-story separate house. The room is big. Everything is as usual in a hotel. The style of the interior, I would say, is not for everyone, but overall it looks decent.
The air conditioner, for the first time I see this, does not hang from the ceiling, but is arranged under the table, and the air ducts are brought out through the table cover. Very convenient, especially with children, because it does not blow directly on you. The safe didn't work (forgot the code, poor fellow). Everything of value was eventually kept in a bag under lock and key. The refrigerator worked well. Stored water (bottles of 0.5 can be taken at the hotel almost everywhere in unlimited quantities), fruits (from the main restaurant for the child - no problem), children's yoghurts.
A horde of mosquitoes in the room, so small, Egyptian. The fumigator did not save! The child was bitten all over. So, dear tourists, stock up on all sorts of creams, etc.
Meals - 5
Tastes could not be discussed! Yes, monotonous, but ...delicious! Both my husband and I noted that for the first time in our 5 trips to the seas, we can say so. I note very tasty pancakes with hot chocolate in the morning. Surprised by the absence of dried fruits for breakfast. I liked the evening of oriental cuisine. Especially their sweets, although in Turkey they were not impressed.
But only this evening the sweet table was good, and on other days it was primitive and monotonous to the point of horror. But that's not the most important thing, is it? Many write that 100 types of pasta are cooked. Not true. One or two, and for dinner, plus something else Italian. But I did not notice any special excesses towards Italy.
For children for lunch and dinner, there are three dietary dishes (vegetable puree, rice or boiled potatoes and not quite, in my opinion, dietary sausages).
Beach, sea - 5
I do not agree with those who write that there is no sea in this hotel! Let's call a spade a spade. Crystal clear shallows knee-deep, waist-deep, and in some places above your head with a sandy bottom, mostly (in some places small algae grow) of a beautiful turquoise color a la the Maldives - not the sea? The first impression of the husband was also: “Is this the sea over there, where are the small figures of people? But his opinion changed during the rest.
It's just wonderful to bask in the rays of the setting sun, lying on a sandy spit, which is located a couple of tens of meters from the shore. Many people are interested in this activity. And who needs a blue abyss with fish and corals - you need, of course, to walk, you can swim in places. Before reaching the coral reef (in the area of a metal structure in the water), there are several islands of nondescript corals where you can see fish, but not many. I would say that in Laguna the sea is also for children (who, by the way, have not been seen, because all children “hang” in the pools), and for non-swimmers, and for divers. By the way, in neighboring hotels, for example, in Grand Azure, the sea is worse. The lagoon is very shallow and not sandy. The guests of these hotels can only go to the end of the pontoon.
The beach is good. Sunbeds were found free and at 10 am. Of course, already on the last line from the sea, but it is more comfortable there, because palm trees are planted.
Animation - 4
On the territory of Laguna Garden, the animation during the day is sluggish, quiet, so boring.
Sometimes in the evenings some performances in the amphitheater. I guess Beach is more fun. Plus - animation on the beach. For us, spending all the time on the beach, because the child liked it better there, it was important. In addition to the standard volleyball, boccia, etc. , there are cool dances every day: tropical or latino dance, cocktail game. Animators are groovy and noisy Italians. I even saw aqua gymnastics in the sea. For the first time I see such activity of animators on the beach.
Service - 4-
The service at the pool bar is decent - 5
In the main restaurant, it depends on the shift, i. e. , as always, the human factor works. In principle, they are in no hurry to ask what to bring to drink, or they are not suitable at all. Although, I remember, some waiters brought us water by default, apparently remembering that we only drink it. As a rule, they monitor the cleanliness on the tables, serving. - 5-
Housekeeping - average. I have seen this happen several times. Fluently. Easy wet cleaning.
Bed linen was not changed every day, partially.
Everything in the hotel is clean and tidy. The paths were washed like the floor in the room!
Didn't like the beach bar. Service is a little ironic. Incomprehensible quality Nestle ice cream for an extra charge. Do not buy! For unknown reasons, this bar does not serve bottled water! Only in a glass from a cooler. Drink and move on. Uncomfortable. We took bottled water from the hotel with us to the beach.
But there was an incident that spoiled the overall impression of the hotel. This happened on the very first evening, on the day of arrival. I won’t go into details, but the receptionist got nasty on the phone only for the fact that for the third time in a certain period of time I asked to open a faulty safe, because we were in a hurry to go to dinner (the child’s regimen), and the technical worker still didn’t came to our room. I was irritatedly repeated several times into the phone: “And what? ” And then again they promised to send a person. I was shocked.
I only nicely and politely asked (! ), but did not strain! In the morning, the staff at the reception changed, and the safe was opened after the first call in 10 minutes! In order to save our nerves and mood, we no longer used the safe, as I wrote above.
And now some lyrics. The overall impression of the hotel is extremely positive. At first it seemed a long way to go to the sea. In fact, when you already know the way, 10-15 minutes of walking among such beauty fly by like 5, even with a child. A huge plus is that you are almost an equal guest in Laguna Beach. In order not to return to dine in the Garden, we ate at a restaurant by the beach (some Way, it's called). I do not recommend. Yes, as an exception. The choice is less, there are a lot of people and repairs will not hurt. In general, Laguna Beach is noticeably older, of course, larger, but also even greener. We were satisfied with the choice of Garden. Outside the hotels - civilization, which is nice in Egypt (shopping promenade, banks, supermarket, cafes, etc. ).
I really liked the promenade, which stretches along several hotels. It's fun to ride quad bikes there. Against the background of all of the above, we have the impression of a civilized, comfortable stay. Overall rating of the hotel is 5 with a small minus. I will recommend to friends!
