We flew through Coral Travel, arrived in the morning at 8, left the luggage at the entrance under the supervision of security, at the airport the luggage is treated with an antiseptic, it was taken away wet. Settled quickly. The bracelet was put on immediately, Russian-speaking Olga, she also writes to the A la Cart restaurant. We were given room 52, on the first floor, opposite the first pool. The windows are tinted, so that in the morning and during the day they are not visible, in the evening they closed the curtains, which is not very comfortable. The buildings are 2-storey, the rooms all have water 0.5 l, juice and waffles in the mini-bar are replenished every day, it also costs 1.5 l for tea, if you haven’t thrown the bottle into the trash, no one will change it for you, but you can find a cleaner and ask and water and juice.
The rooms are outdated, the TV sometimes works, the air conditioner works well, the safes are old, ours broke down - they called the master, they repaired them, the phones either do not work or there is no information on how and where to call. If you have any questions, you need to run to the reception, it is impossible to get through. There are 3 pools on the territory - 1 in front of the room, 1 behind the neighboring building and 1 main in the lower part of the hotel, this pool has three slides, they work in the morning and in the afternoon. Near each pool there is a bar, drinks are the same everywhere. We went to the lower pool and to the sea on foot, as the elevator broke down all the time and they tried to repair it.
A wooden pontoon, 30 meters, a metal staircase is also present, the entrance to the sea from the beach, however, is not far, but it’s enough for children to just lie in the water. The food is monotonous, fish, chicken for lunch and dinner cooked differently, as usual, everything that was not eaten was cooked for the next meal under some kind of sauce). On Saturday there was seafood on the grill, Tuesday-Thursday big tuna, the cook cut off pieces and they were fried on the grill, however, it turned out a bit dry, there was a delicious turkey and baked veal. There were also crabs. Zero variety, but you won't go hungry. We went to a restaurant, chose seafood, everything that is served is impossible to eat, but it was delicious.

There are not many excursions, diving from ships was banned, quad bikes were also closed. All that is left is a boat trip and snorkelling, visiting Ras Muhamed buses. Opposite the hotel there are a few shops, there are more shops on a parallel street, you can walk for 15 minutes to a whole alley of shops, there are also McDonald's and CFS, who remained hungry) We walked 45 minutes from the hotel to the Old Town, by taxi about 10 minutes, price 2-4 dollars, if you catch on the road. For relaxation, eating and doing nothing is not bad, but old-fashioned.
