Hello!! ! And for those who are planning or are already going to this hotel, a special hello!! ! I want to thank everyone in advance for the truthfully written reviews, guided by which we went to this hotel. Like many tourists, we were interested in a good rest for a normal price. In principle, and in general, what we hoped for, we got. And already now, after three months, I understand how great it was there, despite some disadvantages, without which no one can do!!!
Just the thought that you are on another continent, in another country, there is a lot of sun around you, many flowers, the wonderful Red Sea beckoned us there. How can you not rejoice in all this. Well, I won’t torment, I’ll start my TRUE story about my vacation at the Rehana Sharm Resort 4 * hotel.
And so, we went for 7 days - from 13.11 to 20.11. from Anex tour. I want to say right away that the most optimal vacation period, as for me, and for all those leaving whom we met, is 10 days, no more, no less. Especially if you are planning to visit Cairo, the pyramids, experience extreme sports (and there is enough of it!!! ). So, if you want to have a great rest, travel on excursions, think again about how many days it is better to take a tour. The flight itself was very successful in every sense of the word. True, when they were already returning back, the flight was delayed for 4 hours. That's when a lot of discontent fell in the direction of our tour operator. As it turned out, there was a very heavy fog in Kyiv at that time and the plane that was supposed to take us back had not even left Kyiv yet.

Upon arrival, we were met and taken to our hotels. When checking in, of course, it was not without 20 bucks (it could have been 10). Well, what to do? - There, as it seems to me, so it is got already. If you don't want to pay - wait half a day at the reception and live in a room overlooking the construction site. Luggage is delivered by cute Arabs in a small car (of course, cute if you gave money! ).
The room is the most ordinary, the furniture is old, but the nice thing is that everywhere was clean. We lived in the 5th building, in the 539th room, on the second floor overlooking the bar and the pool, a very good view. As for cleaning every day, I'll be honest - if you leave a dollar, it will be cleaned. Surprisingly, everything worked in the room, however, they fiddled with the safe for a very long time, in the end they figured it out. There were no losses, no one touched things, everything was always in its place.
Territory and rich vegetation is the biggest advantage of this hotel, it was she who brightened up some of the errors. It didn't take long to think where to take a picture - after all, there are a lot of flowers (well-groomed!!! ), greenery, bushes, a lot of cacti, chic palm trees everywhere. It is noticeable in the photo. As for the pools, the water at that time was not quite warm, but not cold either, and most importantly - clean !! ! There are really a lot of pools that are connected by bridges. In general, the picture is very beautiful, one of the photos confirms this.
Food. . . I'll try to be sincere in this paragraph. Of course, they didn’t go hungry, but still, I, a “meat-fish eater”, was offended. But if you have a sweet tooth, don't worry - the food will please you. I don't know how you can eat this old wooden meat, this tasteless fish. I will not be very picky, once I came across a delicious fish and that's it. Vegetables are watery and tasteless (but by and large, where in the desert can you grow them? ), And almost no fruits were observed at all. The only thing I ate with pleasure was yum yum baked goods. Here are the masters, here are the good fellows! Thank you Arabs for this! Not bad made an omelet with the addition of meat and vegetables. There was always tea, coffee, local juices (UPI), and the machine in the bar gave out a delicious cappuccino. From the booze, they mainly took beer at the bar, by the way, not bad, you can drink it. In general, I advise you to take in duty free what you can drink with pleasure in a romantic setting (for couples) or what you can profit from in a fun company.

THE SEA. . . This is something that you can talk a lot about, remember. In fact, for the sake of the sea, the most beautiful underwater world, guys, you have to go there!! ! True, you can’t go to the sea without slippers, but it’s not scary, because in a shop near the entrance to the hotel you can buy them for $ 5 and order. Some wrote that there are no corals. Those people must have been joking, because there is a wonderful coral reef. Yes, it does not start from the very entrance by the sea, but when the reef passes into the depths, it is indescribably beautiful. There you can snorkel for hours and enjoy the underwater wonders. The fish are pleasing to the eye already at the entrance to the sea, especially when you walk along the pontoon. Yes, the pontoon is even nothing. The only negative is that the soft coating of the iron steps has already been wiped off and when you step on them with your feet, it hurts, but this is not critical. There were always enough sunbeds, the main thing is not to sleep for a long time. We were taken to the sea (driving 30 seconds) by a small bus, very comfortable.
The beach is clean, there is a bar on the beach where you can get french fries, hamburger, beer or a cocktail.
Excursions... They took it from their operator - it’s much more reliable, but the prices, of course, are noticeably more expensive than those of the locals. It is true what they say that a miser pays twice. So we didn't want to tempt fate. We also went on tour to the company “Gena and Cheburashka”, but these guys only scared us away with their answers to our questions.
We took 2 excursions: 1. Cairo + a walk along the Nile on a local boat + pyramids + a papyrus museum + a perfume oil factory, reef). The trip to Cairo and the pyramids was very tiring, but also very interesting. How is it to be in Egypt and not see the pyramids?? ? But to be honest, I won't go there again. Lunch was included in the cost of all excursions. They wrote the truth that lunch on excursions was tastier than at the hotel.
In general terms, described the most important aspects of the holiday. If anyone has any questions, please contact me, I will be happy to answer.
I wish you a pleasant and unforgettable vacation to all tourists, vacationers, who are going, and who have already gathered in Egypt! And yet, the most important factor for a good holiday is your excellent mood!! ! If you have it, then never and never allow yourself to have a bad rest and come dissatisfied!! ! So go ahead for new emotions, impressions and discoveries!! !
