Hotel ratings by criteria:
1. General information
The hotel is just huge. It looks very rich, a lot of greenery, the territory is large.
BUT - no repairs have been made for a long time, so something is worn out and somewhat spoils the view.
Located near the airport. Therefore, constantly (every 5 minutes) the roar of aircraft taking off.
The most unpleasant thing about this is the stink of jet fuel if the wind blows from the airport. Very tangible.
2. Settlement - numbers.
All Russian-speakers are immediately settled in slums. Therefore, immediately give $ 20 and DEMAND a room with a sea view.
Such numbers, for example, 16xx, 18xx
In room (1608): one room with a giant double bed (or 2 regular beds), TV with 2 Russian channels (RTR-Planet and P1 Germany), a small refrigerator, a table, a coffee table, wardrobes in the wall, air conditioning, a window on the whole wall overlooking the greenery, the sea and the island of Tiran.

Very good, consistent with the overall design. BUT - already worn out. If you make repairs - it will be excellent and cute. Bathroom, shower, toilet, bidet, washstand. True, there were annoying little things - the water in the toilet was hot and constantly leaked, cold from the tap in the morning did not flow, only hot, nailed 4 cm. cockroach. : )
3. The territory of the hotel. Very big and beautiful. It's nice to take a walk in the evening.
4. Entertainment in the hotel itself. THEY SIMPLY ARE NOT. Animation - 3-. Table tennis - 2 shabby tables, you can play for 5-15 minutes. Rackets are shabby. Small Gym - about 10 simulators, dumbbells, barbells. Billiards is paid.
The pool is central with a children's slide - I saw little that someone went there. She is small. An artificial wave is also a rarity.
5. Restaurants. 3 FREE. In the paid Indian, Chinese - the assortment did not inspire, they did not even go. Fishy somewhat scared off the price.
The rest of the food restaurants are a copy of the main one (TAHITI), only with a reduced assortment of food.
Food - 4-
First courses (which you can eat) - potatoes, rice. Meat garnish, chicken (after 4 days I didn’t want to eat it anymore), tuna fish (rare nonsense).
Salads - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, cabbage, carrots, beet). Everything else is beautiful - but inedible.
In the morning fruit cuts - oranges, grapefruits, melon, dates, apples, goava. Yoghurts.
Always Italian pasta with hot sauce (not very edible).
Baking - this is beautiful and tasty and a lot. But I don't like it, I just wanted to eat.
Drinks - juices - terrible chemistry!! ! Pinching tongue. Didn't take them after 1 day. Wanted tea.
Wine - you can not drink (especially red), beer - light, light.
There is a pizza restaurant for lunch. Pizza is worse than store bought. But it's worth a try.
All kinds of grilling is being done on the street:
in the morning omelettes with herbs are delicious. Grilled fish - burnt, bitter and tasteless.
Grilled liver - for an amateur. Grilled chicken too. All this burnt meat quickly bothers.
Well, as always - queues at restaurants.
Bar near the pool. Haven't tried alcohol - not a drinker. But there you can take REAL juice from bottles (goava is delicious). Ice cream ok.
Bars on beaches No. 1 and No. 3 are about the same.
6. BEACHES.

Looking at the former splendor of the hotel, I would never have thought that these beaches (loudly named - 5 pieces) belong to the hotel.
1. Entering the sea is extremely problematic, especially getting out. On 1 beach sand - as you want, just come in. It is difficult in fins - sand is stuffed into fins. On 2 - a pontoon, but it is not fixed, dangles, starts in the water, i. e. You won't get on it without getting your feet wet. There are no handrails, no steps to climb it either. It ends not at a depth, but on corals, where the water is waist-deep. Climbing back is difficult, because. you stand with one foot on the corals, and the pontoon either moves at you, pushing you into the depths, or goes to the shore... In general, I got hurt a couple of times because of this. 3 beach - like a track goes along the bottom. But there are hedgehogs between the plates, and the plates themselves are very slippery. No handrails, ends with corals. Climbing out is also difficult - it is slippery and the waves constantly strive to throw it into the depths - you can peel off your feet on corals. 4 and 5 - beaches - come in as you like.
2. You need to take a seat on the sunbeds in the morning. Otherwise, there are no places.
3. Almost no one watches the vacationers - people try to climb hedgehogs and corals with their bare feet out of ignorance. We have already warned visitors about this on the beach.
4. In principle, there is fish.
7. Guides are normal, they tell well and interestingly.
When traveling to Cairo, do not buy anything in gold and papyrus stores - prices are at least 4 times inflated. But listen carefully, how to distinguish a fake papyrus from a real one.
8. Water park - it's better to go with a teztour. Delivery, lunch and take back.
In general, I had a good rest, but I won’t go there again - and even for that kind of money...
