We stayed at this hotel from 05/02/2019 to 05/11/2019.
In general, I liked the rest, a good, solid hotel with well-functioning service, clean rooms, well-groomed beautiful territory, good restaurants with a large selection, many pools, interesting leisure activities.
Now in more detail:
1. Numbers. We went with two companies. At first we were settled in noisy rooms, our room faced the entrance to the hotel (831), i. е. I had to meet buses with tourists entering the hotel all night, and the number of friends was under the bridge, along which the same buses passed from above, it was not possible to sleep...
On the trail. day, after long walks at the reception, we changed rooms for $ 20 per room. Claims to new numbers - no. Convenient location overlooking the central pool, restaurants, sea view (1404.1406), 2 large single beds + a bed for a child, 3rd floor, balcony, furniture not fresh but in good condition, shower, room is spacious, clean.
Cleaning every day. There are RF channels around 6. Channel 12 STS watched children's programs and cartoons in the morning while waking up at 7.30.
2. WiFi- catches badly. Only at the reception, in the room, and in some places on the territory. It's better to buy a 4G card in the city for $10 and not suffer.
3. Nutrition. 4 restaurants Italian, Turkish, German and Fast Food and a cafe near the beach. The choice is large, everyone will find something to their liking. Grill - quail, chicken, fish, lulakebab, meatballs, etc. , shrimp once a week, a lot of fish, squid. Fruits are scarce (bananas, apples, orange, melon, grapefruit, date, guava).
Cold cuts - horror, it is not clear from whom or what it is made of)
The children's menu is terrible, it's better not to try it, the floors are tasteless and smellless. For children, they chose from the adult menu. Oatmeal, omelets, milk porridge and muesli with milk. Soups suck, yushka. It is better to come for the soup early, otherwise you will have to sip one water, the thick is chosen first. You can drink orange juice in the morning, from bags in separate containers, more or less similar to natural. At lunchtime and in the evening, juice diluted like yupi: orange, apple, pineapple . . the chemistry is still the same.
With alcohol - a bit scarce, 3 types of wine (we liked dry pink most of all), rum, whiskey, gin - local spill, rather weak, but you can drink. Beer is average.
Ice cream - in two places: on the veranda near the main building and in Columbus on the 3rd floor from 10 to 17.00, the quality is not very good.
4. Leisure. In the morning gymnastics on the lawn, oriental dances, water aerobics, volleyball. In the evening, an entertainment program, first for children, then for adults (2 points opposite the central restaurant and near the sea), live music, contests, circus performances, dancing, etc. Fine
5. Children's leisure. There is a kids club. But that's just a name. I would say children's room. Very small and shabby with questionable toilet facilities. They don’t do anything special, the children are left to their own devices. Constructors, make crafts, face painting. They didn't even let the kids drink. Works from 10:00 to 16:30. It is very inconvenient that at 16:30 it is already closed, since the children at this time only wake up after a daytime sleep.
In the evening on the big screen - cartoons.
In front of the center building there is a children's disco.
6. Pools. There are many pools. For every taste and depth. Children's 2 large with different slides and bells and whistles. There are heated pools. A huge minus - all the pools close at 17-17.30. Later swimming is prohibited. Very uncomfortable. We woke up with the children at 16:30 and ran running to swim in the pool at least a little. As the heat subsided and it was very comfortable, but alas.
7. Sea. This is the biggest disappointment. Swimming from the shore into the sea is not realistic. Very shallow, the bottom is rocky, hard. During high tide - knee-deep, at low tide - bone-deep, and so on for 1 km from the coast, no matter how much you go into the sea, everything is fine.
Bought corals - $ 3.50 in the market near the hotel. Walking along the bottom is not very comfortable, there are sharp stones and corals.
To swim - you need to walk along the bridge for 1 km (10 minutes), there are 5 slopes with different depths, but there is nothing special to see there - dead colorless corals, and some fish. At the very end of the bridge there is a descent to the depth, it is more interesting there, beautiful corals and many bright fish.
But the pleasure of walking 1 km in the heat with things to go down the iron stairs is not enough. That's not mine.
Bought a diving mask on the market prices from 8 to 25 dollars, depending on the quality. (for example, a friend bought the same from us for $ 30, where it costs $ 8), so buy there.
It took me 5 times to swim with a mask to enjoy this business and that's it.
I wanted to plunge into the sea from the beach and calmly swim on the waves . . but Alas, I realized that everywhere on the Red Sea... we will look for a more interesting sea.
At 18:00 the pier closes, it quickly got dark after 18:00 the sun began to set, after sunset you can’t be on the beach.
8. Weather. We're out of luck. Half of the rest was a cold cyclone with strong winds. There was a storm on the sea, it was impossible to swim, only after 14:00 the excitement and the wind subsided a little. Evenings were also windy. In the sea, the water was 18-20 degrees, not comfortable. From the pool without a towel to get out - not really, the ants ran in herds. The locals said that even in February it was not so cold.
9. Water park - 5 slides. Go 2 times.
The hotel positions itself as a family hotel, but the children's menu and the kids' club are very weak and the closing of the children's pools at 17:00 is a mockery.
Although our children were happy.
There are no big complaints about the hotel. More to the sea and weather)
