I chose a hotel for our family, based on economic considerations and requirements for the beauties of the sea. I went through all the fours (the fives did not fit into the budget), chose the dates of the minimum prices, and the flight program - early arrival-late departure. The hotel is located next to the paid GORGEOUS Reef Beach - entry $ 1, but the underwater world is incredible! I even saw a couple of small sharks when I sailed a couple of pontoons further.

Its free beach, where there is a shuttle bus, is also excellent. There is a bar on the beach - purely conditionally, the drinks are either over or not yet delivered, but in principle they are. Snacks there - once I saw one saucer with a lonely bun. Animator Chris is the soul of beach activities, as well as an active participant in hotel life. It performs excellent exercises, and masseurs-divers-excursions-cocktailers and other people who earn money from you will not let you get bored.


The hotel itself is fully consistent with the pictures.
A separate plus for the cleanliness of towels and bedding is a snow-white crispy-creaking realm of comfort. The rooms are quite clean, regular cleaning with intricate stacking of towels and bedspreads. The absence of a brush in the toilet did not please the cleaners themselves, so the next day it just appeared on its own. Take your own shampoo gels, there is only soap, but it is very good at washing baby clothes. The safe is free - very pleased.

For 5-10 dollars and a chocolate bar they will settle before the protocol 14:00 (if you arrive early). will be evicted strictly at the appointed time or - if desired - early. We checked out at 9:00 and went to the beach until the evening, so as not to return and not fiddle with the delivery of cards and towels.
On a separate personal request, I will mention the reception staff - Ayman, Hosem, Mohammed - I can’t find fault with anything, polite and helpful people in everything.

Nutrition.
One thing is for sure - you won’t starve, but you can also lose weight; ), on such and such grubs and even active marine activity! Avoid sausage and cheese. Desserts are different variations of biscuits. Tea, coffee are just names, juices are better than in the fours of Turkey, but not much. Coffee is one that you can at least drink, and even that is instant, only at the bar at the reception and by the pool. Meat - chicken, duck. Fish, scrambled eggs. Soups, milk porridges, boiled and fresh vegetables - you can find a couple of everything. fruits were seasonal - dates, oranges, tangerines, pomegranates. Cleanliness in a restaurant is also just a name. Therefore, do not touch the window sills and diligently tear off the slippers from the floor (a joke, but there is only a fraction of a joke in it).

Alcoholic drinks - whiskey, gin, vodka, rum - do not differ much from each other in color or smell, and the bartenders do a favor by pouring you something. I don't care, but after the Turkish service it is very noticeable.

The bartender Mohammed (again! ) is the only one who even smiles and says hello.

The animation team is the main value of the hotel! Three people make a holiday - fun, interesting and always unexpected. There are more of them, just the main instigators of all the disgrace - Chris, Zaire and Katya - this is the soul of a motley audience. The hotel was mostly rested by Ukrainians, Belarusians and Danes - a little. Everything is peaceful and calm.

The downside is the lack of Wi-Fi. Comrades Egyptians, the 21st century is in the yard, the Internet should no longer be an option, this is already a necessary condition! You can buy something in a hookah bar - and you will be given a Wi-Fi password. maybe for an evening, maybe for two ...Or immediately an ORANGE local communication card at the airport - $ 2. We rested, breaking away from civilization and communication - we like it more.
Bottom line: if you do not compare the Egyptian service with any other, then the hotel fully justifies the title of 4 * (but still without a plus), the location of the hotel is excellent, and the main treasure - the Red Sea - is represented here in the best way. Not far from the Old Market, Il Mercato, Phanar Beach - the best in Egypt (honestly, all the shops, markets and sellers are the same - the range of goods, prices, and service. They can shout in the back that you are a miser, not a tourist, if didn’t buy - but they can give something just like that). On this coast it is better - only fives, at a price twice as expensive. And the main thing in the Egyptian exotic is snorkeling, so let it be cheap - but beautiful!
