We stayed at this hotel as a family with a 6 year old child. In Yegi 4 times.
Check-in - arrived early in the morning, at 8.00 were at the hotel, immediately put on bracelets, sent for breakfast, settled at 9-00. Everything is fine, building 4, pool view, the room is large, comfortable, but everything is old.
The hotel - the impression is that the hotel was cool 5-7 years ago. From now on, everything that breaks, wears out, remains as it is. The elevator from the pools to the restaurant is broken, the second one works on schedule! ), a lot of broken and shabby, large (adult) slides are closed, in general, they save on everything. In contrast - a well-groomed green area and a bunch of staff, polite and smiling loafers. Room cleaning daily, neatly, with figurines and petals - everything is ok.
There is no internet in the hotel. They give a one-time password for a weak WIFI. We bought an Etisalat card, it worked perfectly everywhere.

The food - in a word - not tasty. I didn’t think that I would ever write with such hackneyed words, but monotonous, to be more precise, tasteless. But thanks to fresh vegetables and minimal fruits, as well as rare but pleased with bright flashes of the cook's mood, the confectioner does not feel hungry. To the delight of children (pleasantly surprised) food court: 3-4 types of ice cream, popcorn, cotton candy, pancakes and donuts. THE DRINKS! - there is nothing to drink in the hotel, it also applies to drinks and alcohol. There is no alcohol at all, what is poured has nothing to do with the declared drinks. Juices are full of chemistry, coffee is not coffee)) But there is a secret salvation - pure water into which you squeeze lime, orange, grape juice. It was the family's favorite drink for the entire stay.
The sea is great here, the beach is large, the sun loungers are old and worn, but I don’t care), but the reef is excellent, bright, lively, interesting. The pontoon is amazing. wooden with drawers for things and a bench with holes for towels. Descent into the sea on a rusty ladder. BUT you need to remember that we are in Nabq, which means wind, waves, low tides. We have 2 red flags in 7 days.
Excursions - this time the guide from Aneks was not too intrusive, lagged behind in five minutes). Within walking distance are two proven desks - Gena and Cheburashka and Masha with a bear. We went with Masha (Mido), rode quads ($15 each), individual rides and jeeps to the colored canyon and the blue lagoon ($20 each). From the second there are nuances, who are interested in signing in detail.
Shopping and walking - the hotel is well located for walking. You can walk along the hotels and shops. Trading here is fine. The price level and the ability to knock down at the level of the Oldmarket. Those who do not like to haggle can drop in on George Clooney (strawberries - 3 packages $ 2, tea 100 grams - $ 1, arafatki 3 for 2, etc. ). For medicines only in the state pharmacy El Azabi (it is further down the street, behind McDonalds opposite the Hard Rock Cafe). In a pharmacy it is better to pay in pounds, since the price is indicated in them, but dollars are also taken. The price is 2-5 times lower than at our house. The quality of the drugs is excellent.
Transport - a minibus rides along the street, travel around the place is 3 pounds (they charge 5 from tourists), to Oldmarket 6. Those who disdain or are afraid - taxi - Soho-3-4 $, Naama - $ 5, Oldmarket (old town) $ 8 .
We were satisfied with the holiday. About the hotel impressions are not unambiguous))
