The hotel is 4 *, and this is quite true. The downsides are that it doesn’t have its own beach, and everything is not quite convenient there with buses, in fact, in winter it was not bad for us, it wasn’t stressful, but it’s hard to imagine what’s going on in summer. And you can’t walk on foot - in the sun, past construction sites - a dubious pleasure. but not 40 minutes to go - we slowly reached the Old Market in 30 minutes. 10 minutes somewhere or 15. But in winter, I repeat, this is not a problem, and the bus is freer. Although you can, in principle, take a taxi for a dollar...
The second minus is the state of EVERYTHING. In the rooms everything was still all right (although I didn’t see this in Turkey, it’s more like “unpretentious” Europe), then in the game room everything is so worn out and broken that, for example, we ourselves repaired table football players with toothpicks! )) And in the gym, neither the treadmill nor the orbitrek work . . And they look at least 6-7 years old. This is a shame, because further - solid pluses !! ! The staff is just amazing. I heard a lot that the Arabs are much worse in terms of service compared to the Turks. but this hotel is not like that! always asking if you need help. there are very nice guys in the restaurant, the elders are always standing and watching, coordinating, correcting. They can help in choosing buffet dishes, as the food is not always familiar and understandable - but everything is (practically) very, very tasty, pastries are fantastic, morning buns - mmmm! desserts!! ! With brewed (instead of disgusted instant) coffee!! ! and french toast with a piece of insanely delicious feta (I even bought feta at home - 10 pounds 0.5 kg, this is the price in the hotel store) And the rice is simply unsurpassed! Although it looks like ordinary white rice, without additives, it is the most delicious! I also bought rice at home - it is cheaper there than here, and the quality is excellent - 4-7 pounds per kg. (rate - 1 dollar = 5.5 pounds)
the lobby in the bar has the nicest guys, and I did not observe discrimination with foreigners, everyone takes turns. And one guy remembered me and poured me out of line, I was even uncomfortable!
And what a delicious cappuccino they make!! ! both on the lobby and on the beach - real, with foam!
Animation team - great fellows, in the morning on the beach, an Aormanian Irma did exercises / stretching / yoga, then games, then aerobics with the charming Egyptian Mado, then competitions, the winner - a free massage. I won 2 times! )) After lunch, the animation moved to the pool, because the beach was no longer swimming, it was cold. including some events were held for children - a Russian animator girl - I saw a couple of times. before dinner, the whole animation team stands in front of the restaurant and invites you to the evening show. and these shows are very cool - dances, skits, guest artists... A lot of fun! Then there is a disco at the hotel, or for money they are taken to a disco in Naama Bay. I saw a lot of stewards who made sure that at the evening show everyone got a seat, asked to sit down, others hung out in the lobby, followed the work of the staff. one of them asked if everything was ok with housekeeping. the restaurant several times clarified whether everything is to your liking. In general, a lot of things hold on to the good attitude of people, if only they could make repairs and renew property in some places!
By the way, the warm pool is really warm, I swam!
Guide Mukhamed - all qualitatively told, interesting and informative. Excursions by turtesses (like any tour operator) are of course more expensive, there are enough local travel agencies, it's all safe. but the only thing, if the tour involves a guide, a cat. will tell something, that is, there is a chance that you will not learn anything. we were not lucky when we climbed Mount Moses - our guide was with us on the bus, but even during this time he practically did not tell anything. a nice guy went upstairs with us, who, unfortunately, spoke English with difficulty, I just keep quiet about Russian. and when we had to go to the monastery, the Russian speakers were attached to another guide, so he was a super professional! Although the Egyptian, he told everything so excitingly that I didn’t want to part with him when the time came! and he gave his tourists an excursion on the bus and there on the spot in the mountains. here. The tour is awesome, by the way. if you are active and energetic, love to learn new things. The mountains are gorgeous, it's indescribable, you have to see and love it!
Why does no one write about such a wonderful phenomenon as strawberries for a dollar per kg? ! I ate it! it's so cool to lie on the beach and eat fragrant strawberries, realizing that January is on the calendar! ))) But mangoes were expensive for some reason. . . Papaya turned out to be a rare muck. . . The market is just a cool place there, especially in the Old Market. just do not dress too provocatively, walk more, look around carefully, then buy. prices are sometimes very different. Beautiful big heavy bronze or steel hookahs cost $35! (if you bargain) magnets $0.5/1/2 depending on the material. metal is more expensive. very cool shawls and scarves, I paid 60 pounds for a completely unusual and very warm as it turned out, albeit thin. I guess it could have been cheaper. . .
smile more, people love it very much, for a good attitude towards them they are ready to make a discount and give a gift.
By the way, the best prices for excursions turned out to be at the agency near our hotel, and not in Naama Bay, and not at Roma the Single (Sisi agency opposite Fantasia on the way to the Old Market). Quad bikes $35 for 2 pieces, although everywhere the last price was $40 and $60 for 2 for Mount Moses. There are only 2 managers there. one with greasy hair, does not give a discount. the second is handsome, married to a Ukrainian. immediately gave us a good price.
By the way, our room was 223, but we did not change it - the view was on a quiet courtyard, close to the exit - we got out through the balcony! ))
in general, the holiday was a success! The hotel is good, although when we went on excursions, people were taken from very luxurious hotels, but the prices there are completely different! so you choose. Have a good rest! ))
