We were at the hotel over the Christmas holidays. They settled us with a surcharge of $ 20 in a superior room in the second building (near the sea and the central restaurant of Marrakesh). The hotel is not new (the cost of a trip to this hotel is adequate), there were flaws in the room, but this did not affect our vacation in any way.
Weather. It is really windy and cool in Nabq in January. In the evening we went out in jeans, sweaters and leather jackets. Only on January 7 and 8 the wind died down and it became like in Paradise (+26)
Pantone. Walk at a normal pace to the end of the pantone - 4 minutes (absolutely not annoying). As long as there was wind, a red flag was always hung and it was forbidden to swim near the reef. When the weather improved on the last 2 days of our holiday and the yellow flag was raised - our pleasure knew no bounds - the reef and fish are amazing.

Attitude towards Russians and Ukrainians. Do not believe those reviews in which they write that the attitude towards us is boorish or it is somehow different from the attitude towards foreigners. The staff is smiling, 1000 times during one meal they will ask if you are okay, what will you drink, etc. The atmosphere on the ground floor in the Marrakech restaurant is created by an administrator named Banderas. Although, what is there in the restaurant, it creates the atmosphere for the whole rest !! ! When we appeared on the threshold of the restaurant, he always shouted with a smile: "UKRAINE! ", looked for a table or served a new one in 5 seconds. Also a huge thank you to the waiter Hanny and the other guys! Everyone is smiling and joking (this despite the fact that we left them gratitude in the form of a tip only upon departure! ).
Food. In Marrakesh, the food is very tasty and varied. There is always enough water, if it is not put up, you just need to ask the bartender and he will give it to you. We were in the Arabic and Chinese restaurants by appointment, as a result, after visiting them, we went to dinner in our native Marrakech.
The drinks. For our taste they have very good beer and white wine. The rest of the alcohol, for lovers of intoxicating rest, it is better to bring with you.
Tours. At the hotel, your operator will say that all tour desks outside the hotel are not licensed and will deceive you. Don't believe!! ! Our friends hurried up and bought an air tour to Cairo from a representative of the join up tour operator for $ 260 per person. After 10 minutes, we bought the same tour from an Arab named Maxim across the road for $ 195 with the same day of departure from Sharm as our friends (we saw these tours for $ 175). A few hours before the expected departure, our friends got a call from the representative of join up and said that the trip to Cairo was canceled without explanation. We flew away safely and had a great day in Cairo and Giza. Instead of Cairo and the pyramids, they tried to sell our friends Luxor for the same 260 dollars. They refused, the money was returned to them, however, and the next day they flew to Cairo from our Maxim for $195. Conclusions suggest themselves.
We also recommend a super moto safari tour.
Christmas dinner, for which even in Ukraine they demanded to pay 100 dollars per person without fail - NO. We were told that New Year's was even worse. Conclusion - go to rest after the 6th of January.
Territory. Amazing!! ! You will not see such a beautiful, green area and luxurious palm trees in any hotel in Sharm.
Animation. The hotel is very calm, without discos and special animation.
There were 5 of us and we all enjoyed our stay! With gratitude to the hotel, Julia and Alexey!
