Rested from 10-17.04. 2021. two adults and a child of 9.5 years. Bought a hot ticket.

We arrived early, settled "at the request" also by 8 am, gave room 5123 - a good room overlooking the pool - good, I mean for 4 * and, in principle, for Egypt. We are not particularly picky, and this is far from the first time in Egypt, and we know that even if this is a 5 * hotel of well-known chains, then in terms of quality, novelty of furniture, accuracy, etc. these are not the numbers that, for example, 5 * in Turkey. In this respect, Egypt is Egypt. People often write negative things about the broken rooms, but if the hotel is more than 10 years old, and even if there was a re-innovation, it still won’t become like new... then you need to initially choose hotels that are 2-3 years old... but, most likely, there will not be a beautiful green area. Our room was, as I wrote, with a view of the pool and the food court, music plays until the night, which is normal, given that vacationers need to be entertained, so if you like silence, ask for a quiet place : ). But everything suited us : ) When the door was closed, the music was heard, but it didn’t bother us to fall asleep : ).


The territory is green, beautiful, well-groomed - I love this very much!
The food is excellent, considering that now there is a crisis and a pandemic, this did not affect Rehana in any way, which made us very happy. At the same time, our agent was resting in Sharm in the Albatros network (we ourselves rested there more than once), which always had everything good with food, but she was shocked at how they were cut down)
From meat for lunch in Rehan, there is always chicken and beef cooked in different ways, and fish (telapia, but cooked deliciously), for dinner, one more type of meat was added to this variety - either duck, or liver, and in the first few days there were already two type of fish (I don’t remember the name of the second one, but it’s very tasty). Every day, seafood soup with crabs and fish (crabs, of course, for "fat" probably, or for entourage, because there is nothing in them, but they were, and it's great! ) baking is mostly indifferent, because it is always colorful, such as varied, but it all tastes the same. There are some really tasty options here. Enough fruits and vegetables. And yes, all the food is not spicy, which is important. Once we went to the children's room (it's not particularly important for us, but I was pleasantly surprised - there was boiled chicken fillet, fish balls, something else that is not from the general menu... usually in hotels in a children's restaurant everything is almost the same with menu for adults - there is still a small focus on children). I won’t list all the menus, but I’ll say that we are satisfied, there is something to compare with, and I’ll say even more that the menu at 4 * and at 5 * is exactly the same (I checked, I had lunch at 5 * twice; ).

Really good coffee at the reception! not a cheap robusta, but a normal one! . . we are coffee lovers, we know a lot. . . they even make ristretto if you want : ) Alcohol is the usual in Egypt. But I was pleased that the bottles with excise duty were opened in front of you.

The pools are not heated, but we were fine.

Sea. The road to the sea through the underpass. There is immediately a car that takes you to the sea and back. It takes 40 seconds (they counted; ) there are two of them, who drive towards each other. So you don't have to wait at all. You can also walk, through the territory of 5 *. You can walk at 5 *, but you can’t use water parks, bars (except for the beach) and main restaurants. The territory is also very beautiful, green. We walked occasionally and enjoyed ourselves. The line at the beach bar is long, of course, all the time... but this cannot be fixed... At lunchtime, the beach bar serves very decent food, there are even two types of soup... and fries, and kebab, and shawarma (like ), and pasta, and all vegetables and fruits. . . so if you like to spend the whole day on the beach, you don't have to worry about being hungry.
The reef in the sea is great! There are many kinds of fish, 30 for sure! but more of them in the evening, from 15-16 hours. The only thing to remember is that this is NABC, and in the windy season it is unlikely that you will be able to swim in the sea, because. there will be a red flag. We were in a non-windy time, that is, there was no wind in Sharm, but we had, especially the first three days.

Entertainment. Separate story. As much as I have always been indifferent to her, here she surprised me, hooked me and pleased me. I have never seen anything like this in any hotel. Every day is different. Animators are handsome! the whole team that was. And there was a foam party, and Mr. Hotel and Miss Hotel, and karaoke, and a guitarist (he played and sang very decently), and a show walking on glasses and not only, and a gum club and something else I don’t remember... and that’s all it was done by the animation team! in general, great guys were at the time of our stay (I understand that they change periodically).

Administrator Inna is a wonderful girl who attentively and not intrusively periodically asked if everything suits us, and very quickly corrected the nuances, if any. Therefore, if something happens to you, just immediately duplicate the application to her, and then you won’t have to wait. She is in the right place!
Not far from us (1.6 km) George Clooney store. The phone is not at hand now, if you are interested, type it in the internet, it is there. The owner is handsome - a few years ago he had a small ordinary shop, we remember him at the dawn of his "business" : ), and now it's just a supermarket! That's what properly tuned brains mean : ). In all the shops, poor sellers no longer know how to lure you into coming in and buying something . . and here, in the evening, there are 30 people in line at the checkout. I recommend that you come to the store not in the evening, so as not to stand in these lines. It starts working from 10 am, until 5 pm there are few people. Why does he have a queue? -because he really has cheaper prices than in all of Egypt for many positions, some are the same, but most are cheaper. Plus, you will be brought there for free from your hotel and will also be taken back to the hotel for free. Accepts cards, which is important, and any currency (hryvnia, rubles, etc. ). And yet, I highly recommend him or not him for fresh mangoes, guava, strawberries, pomegranates - 1 dollar 600 ml, 1 liter 2 dollars. It's sooo yummy! You can also dilute alcohol with them, which we did : )
In Rehan, as I wrote above, it was for the first time. Will I go back to it - yes, with pleasure! the main thing is to choose a non-windy time of the year, because. We often like to fly in December-January. . .
I wrote a lot, I hope my review will be useful to someone, since I always read reviews myself and then I make a decision.
