I returned from this hotel just yesterday, I am writing this review from fresh memory especially for those who are going to go on vacation to Ramada, because. most of the reviews are already outdated and do not correspond to reality. Let's start with the fact that we got there at a very interesting time of change in Egypt. Friends and relatives dissuaded me from going to Egypt for a very long time, saying "there is war and life is more expensive. " but you won’t scare Russian tourists with anything)) In the end, everything went at the highest level. Let's start with sentimental stories about cockroaches, bedbugs, "small" numbers, lack of animation, etc. In 2010, the hotel was renovated, the owner changed (the current one is English). Since then, the situation has changed significantly for the better - these are not just words, I talked with the staff, they told me a lot of things)) Well, then everything is in order: we arrived at the hotel at about 10 am, settled not immediately, only around 14.00 (according to international According to the norms, check-in starts at 14.00, although I think they could have earlier). The expectation of settling was not in vain - we met the guys from St. Petersburg, went to the sea, had lunch. The room was nice, spacious and not much in the back of the hotel. Without any bribes. The food at the hotel is very good, varied no matter what anyone says. Special thanks to the confectioner - the cakes are divine. Everything is very tasty and satisfying. Rooms are cleaned regularly, of course, we didn’t spin the swans from towels, but for a small tip they were cleaned stably and every day. The room has a safe, although without it, nothing was lost from the room during the entire stay. In Ramada, there is simply a super-superb upper terrace, from which you can see the sea and mountains during the day, and at night Naama Bay, burning with lights. We spent most of our time there.
LOCATION
The location of the hotel is very good, a couple of hundred meters the only duty free shop in the city (! ), a small market, shops, and of course the main city street Naama Bay is just a few minutes walk from the hotel. All this more than compensates for the lack of its own territory at the hotel. All the most famous clubs are also within walking distance: Pacha, Hard Rock Cafe, Little Budda, Zaza. Entrance to the clubs is quite expensive, about $20-30, but if you show ingenuity you will get in for free. I would like to say thanks to Zhorik, thanks to whom we went to Pachu absolutely free in a campaign of 32 people )))

STAFF
Separately, I will say about the staff. Thank you guys for a great vacation. Especially for those who write about the rudeness of the staff - several times I witnessed a very unpleasant picture - our compatriot in a rude manner turned to the bartender "Hey, uh, quickly pour me a drink", constantly poked him with his finger, said that "he has everything inclusive and that he's not going to wait. " Really felt ashamed of how the Russians behave. Simple human advice - be human - say hello to them, say a simple thank you, smile! If you know English, talk to them - they are people too. And you will never have problems with the bar or anything else. And they will pour more, and the cocktails will be tastier))) Bartender Kotb in the upper bar likes to joke, Jimmy talks heart to heart, hookah Ali is generally a golden man)) The bartender in the lower bar seems a little gloomy, but this is only at first glance. Every evening at 21.30, the animators hold some kind of event (competitions, karaoke, minidisco time) where you can pass the evening. Russian girls animators are generally great, thanks to Ronnie, thanks to all of them for a good mood! The dance "Bomb" and "Lacalita" will forever remain in our hearts.
BARS
The hotel has 4 bars, 3 of them are free: downstairs near the restaurant, at the lower pool, and at the upper pool. 4th Piano Bar is paid. An interesting fact is that there are almost never people in it)) In all bars, after taking drinks, you need to sign the check and write the room number. And do not worry that you will be presented with an invoice upon check-out - if you are all inclusive, everything will be free anyway, and you need a check for reporting)
BEACH

You really need to get to the beach of the hotel for 15 minutes by bus. Walks quite regularly, but not very punctual. The sandy beach is cleared of corals, so you can do without special shoes. The bay is a bit like a lake, so if you want to look at the sea itself, go to the right along the beach for 500 meters and you will get to a wild beach with corals, sea urchins, etc. On the way from the beach, you can ask the bus to stop at the Old Market or walk to it;
POOLS
Both the upper and lower pools are quite cold (at least at this time of the year), although you can try playing volleyball in them.
TOTAL
The hotel pulls on strong 4 *. The contingent is mostly Russians, British, Arabs. The Russians understand it the most, so you feel at home. A lot of young people. In general, this hotel is better for companies of young people who come to combine lying on the beach with parties and shopping trips. If you come and hang out and sunbathe - then this is a very good choice. Ultimately, a lot depends on the campaign in which you come or with which you are vacationing. I do not advise to call in with children, as there will simply be nothing for them to do there. And so the hotel is mostly youth. Although we met people of a very advanced age. Yes, do not get tattoos in the hotel, otherwise they will try to shake you off 75 pounds when you check out. Of the unpleasant moments - on the 5th day of rest, severe diarrhea began, which has not gone away so far) I can’t say that this is the fault of the hotel’s chefs, but still I advise you to wash your hands more often, don’t even brush your teeth with tap water, take drinks too without ice. I wish you all a pleasant stay, I hope my review clarified something) Special thanks to the guys we met at the hotel - Alena, Borya, Anya, Seryoga, Clara, Marina - you are the best. Room 315))
