Review of the holiday in Shores Golden in October 2008

Tour operator TEZ TOUR - did a great job, met, saw off. Guides speak good Russian

The hotel is well located: about 4-5 km from Nayama Bay. Near 1001 nights and El Mercato. Not very far from the Old Market. There is a highway next to the hotel, you raised your hand and you are already on your way. Hotel - 2nd line, cozy, large and green area. There are two large swimming pools on site.

Food is the weak point of the hotel. The food is not varied and, to be honest, not very tasty. Dinner, more or less. Fruits: melon (sweet) Pomegranate, apples, oranges. Not bad baked goods. And almost always poorly washed dishes (which is difficult to wash properly) and apparently not new


Drinks - cola, fanta and all that you can drink completely. LUXOR beer is poured from cans - not disgusting, normal, however, they are poured little by little. Strong alcohol is impossible to drink. Take it with you if you like to drink. What surprised me was that for every alcoholic drink, including beer, you have to sign.
You don't have to pay for it, but the idiocy is terrible

Rooms are large and clean. Cleaned up every day. No complaints. The air conditioner works great. A clean, not old refrigerator, a hairdryer in the room, a TV, a large balcony (if the room has a balcony, and most of them)

The staff - you can’t say for sure, friendly, but your problems are not in a hurry to solve.

Tourists are 90% Italians, the rest are Poles, Russians, Englishmen, etc. If you want to communicate with someone, then this is a problem. And the Italians come to big companies and keep apart

Animation - none and all in Italian. In general, only Italians can perceive it, they have fun. I didn’t understand anything, but there is no show at all. There is our animator, but he can not be found, I saw him twice a week. Overall a hotel for Italians. In general, there is no entertainment in the hotel in the evening, you need to go to Nayama Bay. You can really smoke a hookah at night $ 3

Beach - 900 steps (about 500 meters).
There is a bus during the day, but I didn't use it. The beach is very clean. Belongs to another hotel in the Shores chain. Beach tennis, volleyball on the beach. During the day you can have a snack: pizza, french fries, water: Pepsi, Fanta, etc. No beer or alcohol.


The sea is gorgeous. Pontoon entry. Very beautiful reef: many fish swim and a variety of corals grow. You can swim to the left and right of the beach and enjoy the underwater world. The beauty! I was in the Ras Mohammed reserve, I watched the underwater world, it’s very beautiful of course, but I didn’t see something fundamentally new that our hotel doesn’t have. In the reserve, everything depends on the place - there are very beautiful places, there are simpler ones. The depth is large - there is no exact data, during the day in the sun, 15 meters is easily visible in depth, they say about 40 meters near the coast. There is a moray eel burrow near the pontoon. Well, in general, the underwater world is very rich, you swim like in an aquarium.
Not suitable for families with small children, as it is very deep

The hotel has a currency exchange
The hotel has internet (computer). Heard there is WIFI on the beach. Didn't check

In general, I can say that the rest was wonderful, the hotel is really not bad, it resembles a simplified copy of the five, you can probably give it four stars. But I must say he has oddities (for example, food is so-so, the need to sign for every drink on All inclusive, Italians have bracelets of a different color - green, etc. )

I post photos. I hope they will help you to form a preliminary opinion about the hotel.
Ladies and gentlemen! To all, a huge request to write reviews, at least a little, at least a few words and leave a photo. It always helps when choosing. In general, the facts that people write about are always confirmed. Of course, if you write only the owl “like” and “dislike”, then it’s certainly difficult to draw conclusions

Good luck everyone!
