I am writing a review because the advice in the reviews from this site helped my wife and me a lot in choosing a hotel and during our stay there.
Good hotel but with some minor reservations. The tour to Rehanu Sharm was sold to us as a tour to Rehana Prima Life. These are two different hotels with a combined territory, Prima Life is a little better - more and better bars, closer to the sea, that's the whole difference. I don’t know how they fed in Prime Life, but I really liked the food in Rehan Sharm, there is always a choice, but sweets are a separate story altogether!
Tez Tour - well done - meeting, departure, everything is clear. Guide Muhamed done well, Roberto apparently has not settled yet.
From drinks you can drink Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, beer and mineral water. We bought bottled water of 1.5 liters in the supermarket (as you leave the hotel - 400 meters to the left) costs 3 pounds, and Coca-Cola makes you even more thirsty. It is impossible to drink water in the hotel, drinks like Jupi too. Sell the hotel as 5 stars. In fact, this is a very good three or a weak four. In the pool every evening they chlorinate the water by pouring buckets of chlorine concentrate with a terrible smell into it. Therefore, I spent the whole vacation swimming in the sea, and I couldn’t find a place near the pool during the day, but we didn’t want to go there.
The staff speaks English, although most of the guests are ours. If there are problems with English, it will be difficult to explain. Guide Mohammed well done, explained everything, about everything, thanks to him!
I didn’t notice animation there - there was some kind of small devil selling trips to a disco “where it’s fun” for 40 bucks. They did not try to make “it was fun with us”, only for the kids. Dancers came twice a week, and they had fun.
An interesting take on the All Inclusive package is that when you want to use something that is not included in the package, the Hotel Employee comes up and says the phrase “IT’S NOT FREE!!! ” They are sure that we are visiting them for free, and what is included in the AI package is they tear it straight from the heart and give us FOR FREE !! ! This mood did not spoil us, but be prepared.
The territory of the Prima Life and Rehana Sharm hotels is compact, but very, very beautiful, especially in the evening. It is something! Were visiting Domina Aquamarine 5 stars - did not like it! Then we went to Hilton Sharks Bay - it's more beautiful there than in Rehan.
There are cheap taxis in Egypt - which also stop near you, whether you like it or not, and even honk and the drivers shout. The wife was scared on the first day
So, to Naama Bay, 5 dollars - although they ask for 15, while the driver looks at you as if you offered him to buy his car for these 5 dollars, but then you're lucky! if they don’t want to, wait for the next car – there are a lot of them, don’t spoil the taxi driversJ. Yes! It is better to ride all the same in legal taxis, white and blue. Yes, just in case. Minibuses there are cramped, although we have never traveled - they are too crowded. During the trip, the taxi driver will ask if this is your first time in Egypt, if so, he will turn on Arabic music, dance and clap his hands, amusing you.
There is nothing special to do in Naama Bay and the Arabs are clingy, discos are like discos, a lot of bars, in general, everything is normal. We arrived there in Panorama (someone wrote that it was a super place, probably from the outback), when we found it, we laughed and went back to the hotel.
I recommend this hotel to those who like to swim with a mask and snorkel - there are a lot of fish, categorically you can’t go to people who swim poorly - there is a sharp cliff, and the edge of the reef is sharp. On the evening of June 10.100 meters from the shore, many people saw a big shark several times. There are many small moray eels in the shallows, several times I passed 20 cm near such a creature with an open mouth - be careful. And without slippers in the sea in any case! Slippers bought for 3 dollars in a shopping center. The shop at the hotel is very expensive and hardly traded. I bought a snorkel mask and flippers for 28 dollars, but in Naama Bay there is a company store with Mares equipment with fixed prices. I swam to my heart's content! Whom did not see! The wife does not know how to swim, she “swimmed” in knee-deep pits.
The beach is 10 meters long and very littered. It is more convenient to enter the sea for swimming from a pontoon, but a pontoon 50 meters from our beach is alien! And near the entrance to it sits a security guard, whose only job is not to let anyone in except the guests of the Eden Village hotel. You also need to go another 300 meters to a worse pontoon - here it is ours! And swim with it. The lower steps of the pontoon are broken.
The hotel's own beach (see photo), I repeat, is very small and littered - a la Koblevo. The beds are right next to each other! If we talk with my wife, our conversation is clearly heard by 4 more neighbors. Someone's legs are resting near your head. Someone's head is at your feet. We solved this issue simply - we moved to the free half of the beach, which belongs to the Tamra Beach Hotel, paying the security guard 5 pounds a day. The rest of the guests of Rehana Prima Life and Sharm stubbornly condensed, occupying the best sunbeds in the morning.
Having read here that they steal from a safe in Rehan, 2 days before departure I began to carry money with me, and on the last day they found that the safe was open, and everything was dug up there. Lucky because I had quite a bit of money with me. Take note!
When checking into a hotel, check the serviceability and integrity of EVERYTHING in the room. When you leave, you may be forced to pay for something that someone else broke earlier.
When you check in, do not give more than 5-10 dollars! We gave 5 dollars - they gave us an excellent number, our friends gave 15 - and they didn’t take it from them, apparently this is more than usual. At first they gave a bad number, then they changed it.
Excursions are long and tiring, for example, it’s better for me to fly to Israel for a week than to kill a day and spend 3 hours in Jerusalem. And about the pyramids and St. Catherine - it's not worth it at all. Don't believe me - try it. We took a motorcycle safari - 15-20 km / h, with a deviation of 1 meter from the column, the Arab starts yelling something at you, obviously not compliments. We arrived at the disguised Bedouins, they silently served us warm Coca-Cola on trays, and when we drank, they asked us to pay, we didn’t have any money with us, they started yelling at me. (In general, the next day I talked about this with the manager of the company El Sheriff and went on a free excursion on a boat with a transparent bottom. Learn English J) On the way back on ATVs, we revved up to the limit in a straight line - 40-50 km / h no more !! ! Due to the fact that you drive strictly one after another without deviations, you eat plenty of dust. Do not give your room number to non-hotel staff unless you sign receipts!
Never buy anything in the first store, no matter how the shopkeeper keeps you!! ! Walk around and bargain with a few. If you go to a store with purchases from another store - they will tell you that they are 2 times cheaper - this is a psychological trick to sell something else.
We really liked the rest, if you take into account ALL THESE nuances and do not pay dearly for this hotel, then you will be satisfied, like us.
And the last. In Egypt, if you do not want to be greatly deceived (you will always be fooled a little in the hotel itself) - swim in the sea and enjoy the beauty of the hotel! If you have been cheated too much, write a report to the police (there is no way without English here) In the city, English is not needed - everyone speaks Russian, but there is nothing to climb in the city, you won’t see the color, only blatant cunning tradesmen-swindlers... Friendly only those Egyptians who have received or expect to receive something from you. The Egyptians themselves say - Sharm el-Sheikh is not Egypt! 99% of souvenirs are from China, even if it says Made in Egypt. In the hotel for staff we are Sir and Madam, and in the city for traders Bro (Countryman, etc. ) and Girlfriend (Beauty, etc. ). I knew this in advance, but decided to check it myself. I confirm.
