Вобщем очень даже понравилось, но нюансы, конечно есть) In general, I really liked it, but of course there are nuances)

Came back with a friend just a couple of days ago. The overall impression is very favorable from the hotel. But, as elsewhere, there are nuances, of course. We arrived at the hotel around one o'clock. We were immediately put on all-ink bracelets and sent to the lobby bar to wait quite a bit. 20 minutes drank pop and smoked. After that, we were seated immediately. Room 216 from the first second fascinated by the view from the window of the pool - it (the view) is simply gorgeous! Although, as it turned out on closer inspection, there were rooms opposite us across the pool in the buildings and with small balconies, which would be better for smokers like us. For smoking in the room, of course, you can, but it’s rather problematic to ventilate later. Because there was practically no wind, at least when we were there, and smoking at night is a sacred thing. Then just ventilate for a long time)))
The room itself with two single beds (was with a friend) is also quite satisfied. Flat TV, small refrigerator, furniture not new, but quite decent, local phone (the guide called us a couple of times, but the truth is that the children from neighboring rooms also sometimes indulged in dialing the number. Once even at 2 am, but that's it : ) ) The teapot that was promised was not there. Maybe we should have just asked, but we didn't. We looked into the bathroom, it seemed that everything was ok too. Well, they stayed. True, in the evening they realized that there were problems with the bathroom. Firstly, the water in the shower came out very slowly. One of us took a shower - there is already a pool. Therefore, the second one is already included in it and adds its own. Water sometimes came out on the floor, not without it. Washing was even more difficult. Not only did she not let out water at all, but only half of it went into the pipes. The rest is also on the floor. In general, in the bathroom we had such a mini-pool all the time. Three days politely and discreetly asked the reception to influence the problem. As a result, they didn’t do anything with the shower, but the sink was fixed on the penultimate day) Small soaps in the package are given out every time the room is cleaned, but there is no gel in the shower cabin in the built-in dispenser.
They always cleaned the room when they hung a sign by the calling party for this. But the cleaning is so-so - our flood was cleaned in the bathroom, the floor in the room was swept, swans were twisted from towels and all sorts of other patterns. But this is on the one hand. On the other hand, they did not wipe the dust off the surfaces very well, which was evident from the TV stand) Yes, and the bed was changed, I suspect, only once. By the time we returned, the beds were beautifully made and we thought they were changing them. Only on the fourth day, somewhere to the upper sheets, they gave us a blanket (at first they thought it was a joke or decided that non-locals could freeze, then they decided that apparently these blankets were some kind of slightly cold, probably, although not for us), so on the duvet cover of this blanket, which I sent under my back, there was a small but quite noticeable speck of red nail polish. So from that day on, it didn’t go anywhere until our departure. Hence the conclusion - the beds were beautifully made, but not changed. And with towels there were suspicions. I mean, they didn’t go anywhere, but whether they were erased is a question) girlfriend got her little one a little dirty with sand from the beach. And it is brown and leaves noticeable traces on white. So then I saw these traces, only maybe not so bright, I often saw them on it. Although maybe they just washed it badly and ours was returned to us - it’s hard to say)))) But our towels didn’t go anywhere, as I read in previous reviews, everything was ok with the presence) There were problems with the batteries in the TV set, but at the request of the reception they were changed and we watched it a couple of times in the evenings. There are 28 channels in total. From the bottom 3 are Russian-speaking.

The air conditioner worked poorly, the first night I personally felt too stuffy, but then I got used to it. Maybe it is better, otherwise it would be possible to catch a cold on such temperature contrasts. There is no way to regulate it yourself. There is a remote control on the wall, but apparently it is disabled. A small refrigerator is built into the dressing table against the wall. We had enough, it froze well. We didn't have a minibar. The hair dryer was very hot, but it quickly dried the hair, which, of course, always got wet either in the sea or in the pool.
Yes, there's more. The guide forbade drinking water from the tap categorically. Even brush her teeth. Because it is desalinated, but not disinfected. Therefore, it is normal to wash and wash in it, but to drink, no, no. Collected in a bottle from the cooler in the canteen. The local workers, of course, were vigilant that there would be a little, half a bottle, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough for everyone. But we seem to have had enough)
The pool is cool, a lot of small places, which for me, a bad swimmer, was a plus. With all-in, they give out cards for towels. Also on these cards you can take the same towels to the beach. In the bar by the pool, only free fizz (orange, sprite, cola), beer - van dollar, alcohol in such heat by the pool was not interested. Everything around the pool is also very beautiful - pebbles, palm trees, in general I really liked the pool. My friend and I got into the habit of going there in the mornings, when there are still no masses of children, screams and splashes. And then on the first day I hit the head with a ball a couple of times, thanks for being inflatable, when we went after dinner)))
In the lobby, the air conditioner works great - a place for refreshment) But it turns on only at 10 am) There are good Russian-speaking and understanding employees at the reception, but there are almost none at all. I realized this when I complained about the sink for the second time. And then I realized that my tirade (restrained, calm, but a minute and a half long), the guy, apparently, simply did not understand) Therefore, at first it is better to clarify whether the person you are going to address there understands Russian.

The all-ink lobby bar has a lot of free stuff: pop, beer, coffee, multi-colored cocktails with a little rum and vodka, just rum. We did not get into special queues, everything that we asked for was always given immediately. You can ask to pour a drink into a plastic cup, then after drinking it, you can drag it to your room, or wherever you need it))) If you don’t need to, sit on the terrace, smoke, chat. True, during the day it is zhaaarko. There is a fan working, but it is of little use in the open air.
The food was good and quite satisfying. True, on the third day, Russian-speaking tourists were told that there were too many people, and we were transferred from the general canteen to a separate one. It was cooler there - which is a plus, but there were no juices, which is a minus for me. We went to a separate place for breakfast and dinner. In general - for lunch. The menu is quite varied. The first couple of days, of course, I wanted to try everything, because the glutton was notable. But then it was hard in the heat. Therefore, we tried not to overeat much. The fish is chic, the meat too: the chicken is delicious, the liver, the beef, although not often. For side dishes - puree with a delicious baked crust, fries, vermicelli with seasonings, rice with them, baked vegetables, and steamed. Lots of salads. Of course, I wanted to try their unusual salads, but for me they turned out to be very peppery. Of the fruits, we had melons, grapes, red and yellow dates, and also such a round yellow thing, the name of which I always forget))) I didn’t like it, but my friend, on the contrary, was delighted with her. I personally really liked their date honey. I watered it with everything that was sweet. Oh yes, and there were soups. A friend took it. For dessert, there are all kinds of cakes. Only there is practically no cream in them, only the top glaze, and, well, for my taste, a biscuit without cream is a bit dry. But still, it’s not that you don’t stay hungry, it was possible to burst from gluttony there, which we were very close to))) Drinks: coffee, tea, pops, juices (we had orange, grape, pineapple, but only in general canteen).
Sea! Very, very salty! We never made it to the nearby beach. Therefore, I will not say what is there and how. We heard that you can’t take water with you there, you can only buy it there. And yes, buy everything there. And you also need to have time to buy a ticket there at the reception in the morning - it will be $ 2 per person. I didn’t have time - buy it for 3 or 4, I don’t remember. We went for free. Picked up the bus at 9 am, 10 minutes drive. They bring you directly to the "compartment" of your hotel. Entrance through a metal detector, which surprised))) We had enough sunbeds. In the bar on the beach, pop is free, beer is one dollar, and more, I suspect, there was nothing. On the beach, Adam will come to you on the very first day - he offers a massage. Agreed - well, no - every time you visit, it will take out the brain many times passing by you))) There is a shop there. Very nice and not intrusive owner Isaac (a big hello to him! ), A very nice and helpful guy, speaks Russian very well, you can bargain with him well. Renting life jackets for non-swimmers. For half a day - one and a half dollars. If you are planning to go to the beach before the heat - only a taxi or on foot, but very far, we have not tried. Back, if you plan to get for lunch, it is better at 12.30 or 12.45. Then at 14.10 only. In the afternoon there at 14, back at 16 and at 17. Although at 16 they canceled a couple of times. Volleyball court near the beach. Where it is shallow on the beach - the water is transparent grayish, you can see colorful fish. But there are a lot of corals, so coral slippers are a must. You can buy at the hotel from the same cute seller Misha (a big hello to him too! ) And everything for the pool and the beach from him too. And on the shallow part of the beach is very shallow. With my height a little more than one and a half meters, I was not even waist-deep. It’s only for very young children to walk in slippers or swim in inflatable circles . . it is problematic for an adult even of small stature to swim, you run the risk of getting your hands on the corals, and they are sharp. It turns out squat bathing. It's funny, but then my legs hurt. It’s better from the pontoon, although a lot of people always sit on the steps, so going down and up can be problematic. It's better to snorkel there, they say it's beautiful underwater: corals and fish too. For bad swimmers, there is a circle tied on a string))) They won’t let you swim far, vigilant lifeguards immediately whistle) Yes, they also offer excursions on the beach, but we took a guide from the hotel (I later regretted) because we weren’t interested in prices.
What else? And so already "War and Peace" navaya. And here. I read in the comments that there are a lot of mosquitoes. Maybe we were not in their season, but having collected a bunch of sprayers and fumigators in the room, we successfully took them home. There were no mosquitoes. For four, nothing just did not fly. Then flies appeared a little, but not particularly intrusive)))

There were animators. A nice Russian girl Katya came a couple of times to the beach and invited me to the evening. The animators Zai ran around the hotel and... I forgot how the second one with a ponytail is called. They are Egyptians, but they speak Russian more or less. We went to this animation. Contests are interesting to watch at first, but they are all pretty similar, so the second or third time is already boring. But we also went there in the evening to see Mr. Tanura - this is worth a look. At first, a pretty girl danced in a costume with a local flavor belly dance. And then this Mr. Tanura twisted his skirts. Already breathtaking, very colorful and, I suspect, physically hard. So Tanura - respect, will be remembered for a long time. These animations were not far from our room, because they were afraid that they would interfere with sleep. No, by 22, everything was usually over, so everything is fine.
And last but not least, excursions. Our guide Mukhamed (for all my loyalty to people, he is NOT hello! ) offered us a few of them. To Israel for $ 100 per nose (a friend at first wanted, but then she decided that it would be too tiring, but I didn’t want to initially), on ATVs in the desert for $ 25 per nose (I had to go, I wanted to, but I was afraid, that I would have to go alone, and my friend wanted a sea excursion, so I refused, and then I heard only positive and enthusiastic reviews from people) and that's actually a sea excursion. Because I have trouble with swimming, I took it only on a bathyscaphe. By the way, they write on their Facebook page that it costs $ 30 (I saw it on my return), he knocked 35 off me. So the friend will definitely not offend himself, but you - as you please. I, it turns out, allowed (((My friend took a full marine for $ 75. Plus, in addition to the bathyscaphe, there is also a walk on a yacht and swimming from it with fins and a mask and diving. She liked it. Only the same Mukhamed promised that we would be together on the bathyscaphe , but on the night before the departure it turned out that we would not be together. She was taken at 8 am, me - separately with my group at 9.30. My friend still wanted to give up the yacht and diving, because the pressure had jumped the day before, he said it was too late, it was necessary though No, well, if you don't want to, don't go, but they won't return the money. You will be given a piece of paper with the schedule of excursions and prices - READ IT CAREFULLY. And they write there: if you refuse more than a day in advance, they will return HALF of the money and less - you can’t go, but money bye-bye. Mohammed could have warned us about this in words. He could, but he didn’t. Such is the human factor. That’s why I didn’t like the guide.
There were three more free tours from the hotel. I liked it around the city in the morning, but I didn’t know that it’s better not to buy anything where you are taken by a guide - it’s more expensive than if you go to the city yourself. And they hardly trade. In it - to the oil factory. They tell, give to try, sell. They also sell tea and coffee. I just fell in love with Habibi's scent. But expensive: for 20 ml -20 dollars. Bought from Isaac on the beach much cheaper. Yes, not a child, I understand that a fake, but okay. But the savings are three times! ))) Another taxi in the evening to a clothing and accessories store - everything is very beautiful there, but unrealistically expensive. A friend really bought a belt for her husband, but that's all. The rest they tried on, stared at themselves, licked their lips and left) And in the evening an excursion to Soho - a district of shops and entertainment. It's sooooo crowded, there are beautiful statues everywhere for photos. These shops are expensive, although they are traded, but not really. So what we blew and didn’t do was to take a taxi ourselves and go to the city for shopping. They say it's much cheaper!
Well, everything seems to be))) But just do my girlfriend and I really liked everything! We were in a good mood and the rest was great. What do you wish!
