Holidays in Pasadena

Written: 24 may 2010
Travel time: 27 april — 7 may 2010
the hotel is ok, overall impression is good. (were in Egypt for the 3rd time) but it depends on how much money you are going there: if you have a last-minute tour, then it’s very good, if you choose in advance, compare with other hotels. When you check in, they ask for 20 dollars, the difference is the type with a view of the road, and if you pay $ 20, then with a view of the sea. In fact, all numbers are the same. If you want with a view of the pool, you can pay)) We did not pay, and with a view of the road it turned out to be even more interesting, at least there is life outside the window))) There are mosquitoes ! ! ! Get some mosquito repellant and don't open the windows in the evening. Slept with air conditioning. And it is better to take fumitox from home. the points:
1) SEA: this is the main catch. To the beach (the beach with the hotel Zaura Beach3 *) walk for 10-15 minutes in a straight line across the road. BUT the sea is shallow to go 300 meters knee-deep, you definitely need coral slippers. There are few sunbeds and the beach is dirty.
BUT we found a WAY OUT: there is a bridge to the right facing the sea (visible immediately from the shore), we swam from it, it is immediately deeper there, you can swim with a mask and fins, there are fish. (bridge of the Coral Sea hotel). It is better to go to the bridge after lunch (after 15h), so as not to burn out, not to get a sunstroke and swim normally. If you have the desire and strength from the bus and the hotel beach to the right facing the sea along the beach, walk for about 15 minutes you will reach the Laguna Vista beach and the Pataya hotel. there is sand, few corals you can swim well. Do not get towels from the Pasadena hotel, then you can lie down calmly and on a sunbed and no one will pester you. We advise you to avoid contact with the Arabs of this hotel, as they may ask you to free the sunbed. And so we went swimming. If you want to see a lot of fish, we were told that people went to the Rehanna hotel on a minibus (1 dollar for two people), where they either paid a bribe to an Arab guard or somewhere there is a wild passage to the beach.

There was always low tide in the afternoon.
Mask and fins buy silicone, they are better, albeit more expensive. we had all silicone and mask and fins. (20dollars, you can bargain for a couple of dollars less if you take both the mask and fins at once) We decided to save on one mask and bought it cheaper and in vain. She's bad.
2) food: the food is good, adapted to Russian cuisine and habits. Potatoes in different forms, chicken, sometimes fish, rice, soup, vegetables, pastries (the choice is not very big, but everything is tasty and edible), oranges, melon, dates, there was a watermelon. I advise you to take white cheese "feta" (cut into white cubes. ) The food is basically the same every day, each as elsewhere in Egypt. Drinks on alcohol are not up to date, soda, ordinary juice from packages, Nescafe coffee.
3) the rooms are ordinary modest, nothing more, everything you need is there and works. In general, in order to come, wash and fall to sleep)))
No animation (show once a week). The staff is polite, no one bothers.
and it pleases, you can safely lie down and relax by the pool)))
There is a massage parlor, they did a mask and massage for me, the impression is good, I advise! )))
