Rested from 04/11/13 to 04/18/13. TEZ-TOUR. This was the 7th trip to Egypt. There is no desire to go to this hotel for the second time. The territory is large, well-groomed. Stone winding paths, embankment over 500 meters. Convenient location on the peninsula: when the wind and strong waves blow on one side, you can safely swim on the other. One floating pontoon and concrete slabs (to enter the sea) approximately 40 meters each. At high tide, you can enter the sea in many places. Umbrellas and sunbeds at different levels, you can even retire to the cove on the shore. The reef is normal, there are a lot of fish and there are quite large ones. In addition, you can float to the neighboring hotels (to the right through an abandoned beach) there are coral columns behind the main reef. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, and 10 mattresses. for everyone. The pools are deep up to 2.6m. The staff is polite. Russian is practically not understood. (except for merchants who sell everything 3 times more expensive than in the "Old City")
From the animation, only 1 time was the "Egyptian show" - I liked it very much. For viewing, it is better to sit in the center of row 1. Animators (Italians) were seen only in the restaurant and in the coffee bar. There were no Russian speakers.
There are few vacationers.

The room (was in 405) is spacious with a private terrace with a sofa, a table and two chairs. The toilet (walls and countertop) is finished with marble and there is even a telephone near the toilet bowl.
Now about the unpleasant. There is a repair with the sounds of a perforator, grinder and the smell of paint. Water flowed normally only in the bidet. In order to wait for warm water in the shower or wait 10 minutes, or open the water in the bidet so that the glass is cold faster. Water flowed from the shower in a thin stream.
Before leaving, the light went out in the evening, they promised to solve it in 10 minutes, they left at 10 in the morning (more than 10 hours passed) - there was no light.
There are mosquitoes, in the room they fought with a fumigator.
In the morning we saw a worker with a live rat in a rat trap.
The biggest negative is the food in the restaurant. They fed the same way. Pasta was always present, always fish in different forms and either chicken or beef. (fish of the same breed is not tasty). Moreover, if for lunch there is fish in sauce, then for dinner, the same half-eaten fish in sauce sprinkled with breadcrumbs, and the next day it is in a salad. And so with many. Salads are half-eaten foods. But not everything about feeding is bad. There were always fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bananas, dates, oranges, melons and guava. From baked goods, mainly products made from frozen “supermaketovsky” puff pastry with fruit. Wine from packages. Beer was poured from bottles (beer is good). But there is another plus to the restaurant - no flies.
In the evening we went to IL Mercato (50 minutes one way), walked around the neighboring hotels. They weren't impressed. The fare to the old city is 15 pounds by taxi (you need to move 300 meters from the hotel, otherwise the only taxi driver will charge 5 dollars (35 pounds). It’s not a problem to get back for the same 15.
You don’t need to take a visa at the airport, write on the top of the SINAI card, and at passport control you will say “sinai”.
Have a good rest.
