We stayed at the hotel at the end of March. I would like to immediately replace that at the end of March it is not hot, only at the beginning of April the weather returned to normal. The sea is cool. But they got burned. African sun. The hotel is located in the desert, a 20-minute walk from Naama Bay. For us, this is a plus. It felt like we were in Africa. There is a bus going to the sea, you need to sign up in advance. But who is responsible will always be on the beach. They take you to two beaches. On Terrazina (there are a lot of Italians and often hold foam discos, very cool) and El Kheima. This is also a virtue. Diversity. The road to the beach is beautiful. The driver is trying to drive on different roads. It turns out a mini-tour. The beaches are sandy with a convenient entrance. Those who love fish can see them near the piers and pontoons. In addition, large tunas swim in the buoy area. Many went to the city beach for $2 entry, we were very disappointed when we went there. First, walk 7 km.
and secondly, there is nothing special on this beach. You can buy a glass-bottom boat tour right on the beach. 10$. About 30 minutes you will be taken to the places where fish are found.
In addition, massages are available on the beach. General massage $25, back massage $15. Don't settle for more. You can bargain.

The hotel itself is good. They settle without money quickly and do not require tips. The hotel is brand new, recently built. I read in the reviews that there is construction going on and builders interfere with sleep. Not true. Everything has already been done, it remains to fill the 3rd pool with water. Before that, he was 3 *, he was bought by a new owner and improved. 2 swimming pools, a gym appeared, open until 16:00, table tennis, internet ($ 3 -hour), table hockey, billiards, an aqua park with two large slides and small ones for children. I want to note right away that for children, apart from the slides, there is no entertainment. The hotel rooms are divided by quality into two compartments.
In one, high-quality dark furniture, in the other, painted green. You may not be surprised that they can come to you and paint the front door on both sides. The smell is wonderful ...Thank God that they did not have time to reach us. The flight crew of Orienburg Airlines lives in the hotel. Their doors have been painted. They are less fortunate. Also, don't bother hanging "do not disturb" on the door. The staff doesn't pay attention to it. They knock to clean when they need to. Sometimes I had to ask for soap and shampoo. We took toilet paper in the common toilet, as they simply didn’t bring it to us.
But this was not the case for everyone. My girlfriend was regularly spun from towels of different animals. For this, it is worth leaving them $ 1. Do not repeat my mistakes, I left them a pound ($ 1-5 pounds). And I waited all 11 days, but they didn’t make anything for me. Towels and bed linen are changed daily.
Flies and mosquitoes were very annoying. There, of course, they are poisoned ...but there is.
But to be honest, these are small things.
It's like you don't pay much attention to it. The food is good, especially the sweets. Are able to do. The drinks are good too. Wine, beer and some cocktails (gin and tonic, rum-cola, six cocktail, consisting of 6 elements, ask the bartender, he will make).
The advantage of the hotel is in its shops located in the lobby. There, Russian-speaking Arab Alex at a good price (this is a fact, they compared! ) Will sell you leather and textile items, shoes, souvenirs, etc. ). If you wish, you can go to the old center ("old city"), the hotel bus takes you there. But there are sticky Arabs, more expensive prices and poor quality of both leather and scarves. We have personally verified this.


Regarding the animation: she is in the hotel every other day: an oriental show, an African show and a miss hotel. As for the latter, I do not recommend girls who come with their husbands and parents to participate in this competition. Striptease with a man is the most innocent thing in this competition.
Disco every day until 11.
The people entertained themselves with trips to the city. Girls! If you still want to see the night Charm, then take men with you (mother will not help). Go to Panorama, a very cool place. Admission is free, drinks are cheap, and there will be many interesting performances for you. There are also discos little budda, hard rock, etc. On the street, day and night, hookah with hashish is constantly offered. They also have a common joke to pour it into a hookah just for fun. So be careful. Another feature: taxi drivers do not know our hotel, like many others. We were taken to the wrong place several times, but they took the money. The average taxi in the city is $5.
I want to note that Alex, an employee of one of the hotel's shops, is very friendly and will not offend. If you wish, you can invite him to go to the city together. Everyone pays for drinks for himself, but we will be safe with him and you will not be shared. Without Alex, we were well treated in the cafe.
Egypt is very beautiful, though dirty. But the hardest thing for a young girl is the Arabs. Words, actions they do not understand. On the third day, I looked haunted and tried not to raise my eyes even in the dining room. In Turkey it was not like that at all. It seems that there are more staff in the hotel than tourists. They behave very impudently, they used the fact that my mother does not know English, they said vile things to me. If you refuse them, they are offended, their lips blow. In general, they feel like owners.

In general, everything is pretty good. Everywhere has its pros and cons. If you are going for a change of scenery and experience, then you will be satisfied. The atmosphere in the hotel is quite friendly due to vacationers.
