Sabena Sabena

We rested in this hotel from 26.11. 09-29.11. 09.4 days and 3 nights - "Weekend Tour". We arrived at the airport at about 5 in the morning, got off at about 6, got on the bus, brought tourists to other hotels and arrived at our own at about 6.30. 10-15 minutes to the airport. After the 5 * hotels in which we brought tourists, the hotel seemed somehow not very... they promised to accommodate us no earlier than 12. But for $ 10 we agreed and our things were already in the room, all rooms have a view of the hotel's internal territory - in principle, not large, but very nice and beautiful. We came for a buffet breakfast, the choice is normal , but all the food at first glance seemed to me some kind of tasteless. They fry an omelette, you choose the ingredients yourself, I just ate it. There is nothing to drink at all, except for tea or coffee, juices are a nightmare, you can’t even call it a yuppie, as if paint and water for coloring eggs, well, there is still soda that is poured from bottles, beer is also normal. To the beach on foot for 5-7 minutes, we decided to take a walk, the wind is strong, it's cool in the morning. We got to the beach that belongs to our hotel, we decided not to stay there, and went to the Regency Plaza 5 * beach, it was nearby, especially since I wanted to go to this hotel in February (I chose it for a very long time, but I couldn’t go, but fate decreed that I ended up there anyway : )))). We had blue towels, they have white ones, but no one said anything. We went back through the territory of the Regency Plaza - large, beautiful, clean everywhere, music by the pool.
Came for lunch at our hotel, the choice is slightly larger than for breakfast. from fruits - melon, orange, sometimes guava and dates. The pool at the hotel is cold, but you can swim a little. The hotel has a disco (European music plays), there is a hookah-$3. Shop - everything is much cheaper in it than in NAAMA BAY. The next day in the evening we went to Naama Bay, the bus at 19.30 and 21.30, back at 22.30 and 24.00, we went back by taxi, because we came to the bus at 22.30, and he had already left, so you need to come in 10-15 minutes. Taxi-$10, but this is if you go out on the road, and if directly from Naama Bay street, the prices there are generally prohibitive. The prices there are high, for example, a mug of Egypt is $16, at a hotel it is $4. Hookah is also $3. McDonald's is also outrageous - hamburgers for 200-250 rubles, potatoes for more than 100 rubles... Seafood is basically acceptable.
The next day we went to the pier of the Coral Sea hotel (nearby). They swam there with a mask - the water is transparent turquoise, just a fairy tale, but you get out of it - the cold is terrible, because. the wind is very strong and northern. We saw fish. For dinner, there is a larger assortment, a lot of pastries, tastier than for breakfast and lunch. In general, one person said that he was resting not for the first time in Egypt, and was in many Fives, that the food there is worse, because. this is a problem in all Egypt but for this hotel the food is really VERY GOOD. But it was enough for me for 4 days, I don’t know how to continue, even I would probably get tired, although I’m not very picky. There was a show one evening. Fried on the street Meat and French fries. From booze, there is always the same assortment - 6 bottles to choose from (local gin, rum, whiskey... ) and EVERYTHING !! ! No syrups, no liquors, so they won’t make a cocktail for you there, and if you ask for a sweet cocktail (like me), they will add sugar to you and mix it . . ))))

I will say at once Such a Feeling that the hotel is NOT NEW!! ! Everything is shabby, the rooms also look like 10 years old, antique furniture. But it didn’t really bother me . . )) And when we showed a photo from I phone (we went on the Internet, there is free WiFi, and showed a photo of the hotel) to the person at the reception - rooms with a plasma TV, he seemed to be in shock, and said that this is not their hotel. I already thought that it was the Russians who were bred, that the hotel was new, but the taxi driver who drove us from Naama Bay did not even know where to go, and was shocked that the hotel was here, he said, he was completely new.
In principle, for a 4 * this is a normal hotel, and who does not bother much, or goes like us on the "Weekend Tour". But if financial resources allow, and you are traveling for more days, then add a little money and choose another hotel, for example, the same Regency Plaza 5 * costs a little more.
But most importantly, if you are traveling in a good mood, nothing will overshadow your vacation. I liked it all very much!
