We rested in the first week of April. We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, settled in the Preferred Front Area, we were immediately put on bracelets and given room 1702 on the first floor with a loggia and a terrace.
The hotel area is a snow-white two-story villas, in the middle of which there is an alley with flower beds, fountains, arches, along which electric cars drive and vacationers walk. Everything is surrounded by greenery, many palm trees, flowers, flowering bushes and trees, ornamental trees. The smell of the sea is mixed with the smell of flowering and you want to take this air with you to the metropolis! The hotel has three zones Preferred Front Area, Front Palm Area and Sport Area. Keep this in mind when buying a tour. The closest zone to the sea is the Preferred Front Area, up to 500 m long, it houses the reception, the main restaurant ORANGERIE (where you will have breakfast, lunch and dinner), 2 a la carte restaurants, a French restaurant, 3 bars, a spa and a swimming pool with fresh water. This is the most beautiful, greenest and most flourishing area. In the evening, beautiful illumination on palm trees, fountains and flower beds, like in a fairy tale. The Front Palm Area is located across the side of the road, on which cars do not drive, but goes to NAAMA BAY and is very noisy, there is no pool in the area, it has a gym and one of the a la carte restaurants, up to 500 m from the sea. Sport Zone Area is located on the second line across a busy road, it has a small pool with sea water, sports areas, a fish restaurant, a bar, a conference room, a casino, from the sea 700-800 m. they are in the Sport Area, across a busy road. At the exit from the hotel to the left in 50 meters begins NAAMA BAY, with many shops, restaurants, cafes, discos.
The beach is large, 5 rows of sunbeds at great distances from each other, plastic sunbeds with mattresses under the sun loungers, palm trees and flowers between the rows. Towels on the beach are issued on cards and only once a day... The sea is a fairy tale! Due to the bay, the water was a degree warmer than in the open sea and the wind was gentle and moderate. The entry into the sea is sandy, the bottom is completely cleaned of corals and stones. There is a small "home semi-dead coral reef" with fish, surrounded by buoys, you can come up and look at the fish. You can also watch the fish from the pontoon. For lovers of snorkeling, there is a place deeper where divers swim, with four coral patches, lots of fish, rays, even had the luck to swim with a huge sea turtle. Emotions were running high! The reefs are 70% alive, but we saw many new species of fish that you will not see even on live reefs, many of them were more than 10 kg.

The rooms are tired but relatively clean. Plumbing is new and working, there were no foreign smells in the room. The furniture is not new, the filling of the room is good, there was enough space for things. Lovely new mattresses, snow-white bedding and snow-white, good quality towels with the hotel logo. Were surprised by the lack of cosmetics in tubes. Dispensers with liquid soap and gel are provided, there are no shampoos at all, there is one shower cap, a sewing kit, napkins, toilet paper per room. There is a hair dryer, air conditioning and refrigerator worked quietly. Every day, when cleaning, 1.5 liters of water and 1 liter of Pepsi were replenished. Towels were changed every day, bedding on the 5th day.
Internet WI-FI was in the lobby, near the main pool, in the SEAGULL`S bar, sometimes even on the beach opposite the bar. The signal is weak, it was not always possible to connect, but sometimes it was even possible to talk on Viber.
Animation was on the beach and near the main pool. Aerobics, dance training.
In the SEAGULL`S bar in the evenings there were live music concerts and discos.
The staff is friendly, smiling, greeted, asked how you were doing (in English), but few Russian speakers. Nobody demanded a tip, but they were glad and grateful when they gave it. There are many security guards in the area.
Food for Egypt is normal. There was no seafood. Vegetables, fruit, meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, beef liver and tongue) and fish were plentiful. Coffee from the machine, tea bags, inedible juices, except for apple. Huge variety of pastries, pastries and cakes. Between the main meals in the bars there were snacks (french fries, sandwiches, sausage in dough, ice cream). A leaflet with the work of bars and restaurants is issued upon check-in at the reception. You won't be hungry. They drank beer, gin in cocktails and tequila with alcohol. Good quality. You can not visit a la carte restaurants (only by appointment day a day from 9 to 12 at the reception), in the main restaurant there is always a greater choice of food.
We had a wonderful holiday, we will definitely come back! Yes, there were shortcomings, but the advantages of the hotel and positive emotions were simply erased from memory. There is nothing ideal in this world. Smile and be sure to smile at you. With what mood you will go, so you will rest!
