This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel, we stayed from 17.05 to 31.05. I will try to write as objectively as possible.
territory
Big, beautiful, green, well-groomed. You can take pictures on almost every corner. Wi-fi only works in the lobby, but you can buy a local SIM card with internet. Two swimming pools, water park for children and adults (three slides). The sunbeds were removed from the children's water park compared to last year, leaving only umbrellas and chairs. The swings were fixed in the playground. You can go to the beach and Nubian Island pools and even take towels there, only the bracelets on the bars do not work. There are a lot of mosquitoes, they are poisoned less this year. Last year they were poisoned every day, this year 4 times in 2 weeks. You can buy a fumigator and spray at a pharmacy or bring your own. A lot of lizards, we caught two (later released of course).
numbers
We took a family room, two rooms. We were put up in a Nubian Island bungalow. The furniture is old but in good condition. The main air conditioning is noisy, apparently it is in all rooms. Last time we also lived in a nubian island bungalow and it was also noisy. The second air conditioner is quiet but only cools one room.
nutrition
Breakfast is weak in my opinion and every day is the same. Dry breakfasts, fruit salad (apple + melon), cheese, sausage, fried pancakes and scrambled eggs, I asked for fried eggs. Say so, fried eggs, they understand. Waffles, sausages, pastries, bread, milk porridge for children, jams. Breakfast only in the main restaurant. There are almost always queues for waffles and scrambled eggs. Compared to last year, they put a second person to fry omelettes. It didn't bother me, I'm on vacation. My husband and I went for food in turn, the second one sits with the child, he also saved the tablet and the Internet. There were no problems with breakfast tables.
Lunch is available at the main restaurant and at the Colorado restaurant, which is located by the pool, near the beach. In the main restaurant for lunch it happened that there were not enough tables. Once we had to wait for a table. In a Colorado restaurant, the choice is smaller, there are fewer people, and it is more pleasant to dine. Everything we needed was there, from the room closer, we then went there.
Dinner is mainly in the main restaurant. They open places on the street in the evening, so I did not see any problems with tables. Once you can go to dinner in Colorado by appointment (we did not use this). As a gift for returning to the hotel, we were given one dinner at a fish restaurant. I heard that the price is $ 37 per adult, children are free. This is in the same Colorado, only on the street. Well, we just really, really liked it, chairs with a bow, beautiful serving, wine, insanely delicious food.
In general, food - food is good, but there are no special frills. There are few fruits. They gave melons, apples, peaches, bananas, dates, oranges. As a decoration on sweets, I came across kiwi, pineapple, plums, grapes. Watermelons were handed out by the pools in the afternoon, a tiny piece on a toothpick. Ice cream is given by the pools only in a waffle cup, during lunch from 12.30 to 14 they do not give ice cream.
beach and sea
There is a pier and there is a bathing place for children. In a bathing suit, when the tide is up to the neck of an adult, at low tide, an adult is knee-deep. The reef is very beautiful. There is a diving center, you can take diving from the hotel directly from the pier, I highly recommend it. Next time we will try to tie our trip to the moon. I don't know why it just dawned on me now. If you want to have a good tide in the swimsuit in the morning, capture the days before and after the new moon. We always found sunbeds. At 9 in the morning, finding a sunbed was not a particular problem, at 10 it was already, but it was possible. Plus, upstairs, above the volleyball field, it was always full of empty sunbeds, because everyone wants to be closer to the sea. You can also go to the island beach.
animation
I can tell she was. We didn't need her. With our daily routine, she worked at an inconvenient time, and we were not up to her. We only went to mini disco, and even then not always. All times there was the same repertoire of songs and movements. But the child just liked that one and the same thing. The mini club worked at an inconvenient time for us, only three hours a day, in the morning from 10.30 to 12 when we wanted to stay at the sea longer or ride the slides and in the afternoon when the child was sleeping. I can say that last year there was less animation.
purity
On three, as well as almost everywhere in Egypt. Floors washed, towels and sheets changed. There is dirt under the bed, not always washed under the washbasin. Swans were wound up 1 time in two weeks, although tips were left every day. Two days out of 14 could not be removed, because Came already at 15-16. It happened that poorly washed plates came across (I put it in, took another one), they wash the pans, of course, if breakfast is from 7 to 10 and the cook fries on it for all three hours, what will happen to it. The frying pans are slightly crumpled, the fryer is crumpled. Specially looked after the reviews, the glasses are taken with fingers inside.
Compared to last year, it seemed to me that the staff became friendlier. Some of the waiters recognized us. It was nice to see familiar faces, especially among the chefs, someone was promoted from the staff, it was also nice to realize. From the unpleasant, men's swimming trunks were stolen from us, which were dried on a chair near the room, while towels were dried nearby, children's swimming trunks and my swimsuit, only men's were taken. I don't think it's the staff, men's swimming trunks with stains from sun protection cream are unlikely to be needed. Most likely one of the vacationers. Of course, there are no cameras, the administration's answer is to dry things in the room. They just don't dry in the room.
We are satisfied with this hotel, good food, a beautiful reef, and for the child there is an entry into the sea and a children's water park. We hope to return here again.
Now let me tell you a little about the excursions. We drove from Tez Tour. This time there were too many of them. I'll start with the free ones, the most interesting I think.
Sightseeing tour.
Well, that's why they put it in the morning? Minus a day at sea, it's hot, it's hard for the child. Nevertheless, I liked the tour, but I don’t want to go on it a second time. They drove around the city, told. They came up with a fairy tale about the head of a dinosaur, which is removed, dressed at night (not dressed, we checked). Brought to the oil factory. On the way, they told me that checks would be needed when leaving, but only here they give checks. (they didn't ask us for any checks). Presentation, anointed with aloe gel and jojoba oil. We bought oils there, a nifertiti factory. I have never seen this factory for sale anywhere else. The hotel sells oils from the El Baraka factory and prices if you bargain below twice. I can say about nifertiti that the oils are definitely good (it's another matter if it makes sense to pay more, I'm still checking this). Aloe gel may not be better than panthenol, but it's no worse for sure. We opened it and smeared it when we burned. I have the same jojoba oil as I tried at the presentation. But strangely enough, we bought the freshest oils at the hotel (by date of manufacture), the quality has not yet been checked. Then there was a souvenir shop, the choice is huge, but the prices are lower at the hotel. Take only if something really appeals to you.
soho square
She was given to us as a gift. To be honest, it's hard to call it a tour. Do not buy it, just take a taxi, it will be cheaper, 3-4 dollars from our hotel, i. e. 8 dollars to go, not 15 or 10 per person. The area itself is beautiful, the child was delighted, we took well, just indecently a lot of photos. Well, otherwise there are cafes and shops, you can sit in a cafe or skimp. Or just take photos with each statue, which is what we did. But surprisingly, the child remembers this excursion most often. You have to go in the evening. The fountain turns on every hour and dances for 15 minutes.
Ras Mohammed Nature Reserve by Bus
If you love snorkeling I highly recommend this tour. I want to visit it again and again. Stunningly beautiful reefs, a lake of desires (thanks to the tour for a funny ritual). Take better from the tour operator. A comfortable bus is very important. I didn’t like that there were no tents on the beaches, no shower and not even toilets (everyone understands where someone pees). Preserve after all)).
crocodile show
Well, you can take a look. It makes no sense to take this tour from a tour operator, it is quite possible from a hotel or somewhere else. The child is happy and wants more. A show with cobras, a fire show (it was remembered by everyone the most), the crocodiles did not want to climb out. A photo with a monkey for money and a persistent offer to buy souvenirs. Passes in the evening.
Bathyscaphe
We liked. A kind of immersion for a child. The reef is beautiful.
Swimming with dolphins
We really enjoyed. Keep in mind that the water will be cold, dolphins should not be warm. After 15 minutes, the child was already trembling. You can’t shoot, then they offer photos for $ 4 apiece. But a photo of good quality, like a photo session, at least print a poster later.
