Rehana Royal Beach Resort & Spa 5*
Egypt Sharm El Sheikh
November 2010
Perhaps you need to start with the fact that the trip was serviced by the travel company Pegas. Guys frankly do not modify. No, we were not forgotten anywhere, but only because we ourselves were actively trying not to forget ourselves anywhere, and so, it is unlikely that we would have been missed at all) well, that’s right, the preamble.
And so about the hotel:
We were told that the hotel is quite new (indeed, part of the hotel is still under construction), but despite the fact that it was built almost in 2008 (I could be wrong), a lot has already been shabby and fallen off. In general, the hotel is pleasant with a very well-groomed and green area, everything is constantly washed, cleaned, repainted, forged and screwed up. The staff works hard from the very morning until late at night, but, like everything made in Egypt (not counting the pyramids, they were certainly not built by the Egyptians, otherwise they would not have stood for 10 years))))) The efficiency of working hard is low. The territory of the hotel is not very big, heavily built up.
In the evening, everything is very beautifully illuminated. In short - the hotel is a solid 4.
Rooms:
The hotel rooms are all the same. 2 beds, bedside table, table, table, TV, a couple of armchairs. There are no rugs on the floor, the floor is stone, they don't give slippers, it's cold to walk barefoot. The room is quite spacious. There is a small safe in the closet. Cleaned in the room daily, not perfect, but quite tolerable. Linen is filled not new, but clean, with towels the same thing - not quite white and not quite soft. WiFi is only in the lobby and does not reach the nearest buildings much, but I do not recommend using it. The speed constantly jumps from 2 to 54 kbps. It is not possible to use programs such as Skype, for example. There are no balconies on the first floor, but there is a very nice terrace with a table and chairs. All rooms are higher with spacious balconies. In general - numbers get 4 with a minus.
Nutrition:
Here you can really put a solid 5.
With few exceptions, but nothing is perfect, after all) First, about the central, so to speak, free restaurant. For lunch, we counted 5 (! ) types of meat, of course, without pork, but the abundance of other equally tasty dishes more than compensates for this. There is always a choice of 2 types of soup (we highly recommend tomato soup), meat, fish, several types of side dishes, vegetables, both boiled and baked and fresh, a whole table of salads and snacks, a lot of types of pastries. For dessert, there are always fresh fruits, well, very tasty pomegranates, guava fruits that are not familiar to our taste (I hope it is written that way), citruses, bananas. Dates, a large selection of cakes and mousses. Sometimes jelly (not clear taste).
Under standard conditions (all inclusive) you can visit 2 restaurants: oriental and Italian. To be honest, we were not enthusiastic about Italian. The food is mediocre, even very. If you have ever been to a normal Italian restaurant, you will not be satisfied.
Everything in the oriental restaurant was delicious, not the usual spicy and smoky, but in general - you should like it. And yet, on the beach there is a fish restaurant. It is paid, but believe me - it costs $ 30 not a person. Very tasty soup, amazing shrimp, lobster (true half), a piece of squid, baked fish and delicious crumbly rice. And also a simple salad and a light fruit dessert. We liked it so much that we went there for the second time. By the way, you can also agree to drink beer with shrimp for $20.
Sea:
For lovers of sandy beaches, I can immediately say - you are not here! There is an entry into the sea, but from right along the corals. Sharp, uncomfortable and very small. But. If you love fish, then you are in the right place. Having entered the sea, everything is knee-deep (10-15 meters from the shore), just put on a mask, lie down on the water and look ...small, large, yellow, white, blue, mother-of-pearl, red, speckled ...there are hundreds of them! ! ! And they are insanely beautiful! ! !
For those who swim better than an ax, there is a pier from which it is easy to go down and swim along the reef. True, the sea is almost constantly stormy, the red flag is rarely lowered and only in the afternoon. One thing is annoying, sometimes it finds something on them and they don’t let you swim in the sea longer than 5-10 meters from the shore (a protected area or something like that).
Entertainment:
In the evenings at 22:00 at the central pool in the amphitheater, animators hold funny contests, dancers and fakirs perform. Later, at 12 o'clock the disco begins. (We weren't there. We can't say anything).
A VIP sea trip ($85 per person) is quite a worthy activity. Dive, watch the fish, dine on the deck of the boat - lovely.
Motorcycle safari ($30 per person) - agree, but only if check-out from the hotel will be no later than 15 hours. Otherwise, you will drive through the desert in complete darkness.
The result will be very dark, very dusty and very bumpy, if I may say so. As a super entertainment, we will not advise. But to dispel boredom - you can.
And so, I must warn: what you need to consider if you decide to go there:
1. Be sure to take insect repellant - otherwise - EAT (flies and mosquitoes).
2. Check-in to rooms from 14:00, if you want earlier, you will have to pay.
3. Be sure to take with you (or buy there - $ 5) swimming slippers (corals are very prickly, as well as hedgehogs, moray eels, etc. )
4. Don't touch fish and coral with your hands - some of them are not safe and some are seriously poisonous.
5. The best currency is dollars, the best language is, oddly enough, Russian.
6. Shampoos and gels barite with you - it is better not to use the ones that are provided at the hotel
7. Water - well, I think you already know that, drink only bottled water, it is advisable for her to brush her teeth.
Well, that's all ...have a good rest!
