At the reception, no one really promised to settle before 15.00, but they put on bracelets and offered to drink and eat. Since we were with children (5 and 12 years old), and the youngest was completely tired, we put money in our passport and asked for 2 connected rooms. (By the way, in La Vita, a child is considered a child under 14). After 5 minutes we were already in the rooms. We lived in two adjacent standard rooms in a separate 2-storey building. The rooms were on the 1st floor, each room has its own terrace, so we visited each other with the children through the "window". There is a green lawn in front of the terrace, then a path, and a lot of the sea.

We lived just like in the Odessa dacha: opened your eyes in the morning, went out through the “window”, walked 20 meters and you were in the Red Sea. And they also sunbathed right in front of the windows on the green lawn. After a couple of days, we stopped going through the door at all, went out through the windows, it was more convenient, and, accordingly, our rooms were not closed. Nothing is missing.

Although there are safes in the rooms, and we still kept money with documents there. The rooms were cleaned perfectly, every day (unless we weighed a “do not disturb” sign) towels and linen were changed, washed, wiped, put a bottle of water. We always left a dollar in our room, with the children - as it turned out, this did not affect the quality of cleaning. The rooms are spacious, the room has two large beds, the furniture is new. Water and light have always been there. Everything worked. Repairs in the bathrooms, of course, do not even qualify for 3 stars, but dear compatriots, look into your home toilet and think about whether it is worth carving. The territory of the hotel and the pools are also normally cleaned.

Construction around the hotel is going on, but they didn’t build for a whole week of our stay, and the last days they began to move, but it didn’t bother me at all, the construction didn’t make much noise (the Arabs barely move there), although we lived at the very end of the hotel, just next to construction.
Airport noise is also not annoying. Apparently, it all depends on the direction of the wind, sometimes there really was a sound from landing planes, but so that it interfered, so no.

The sea is awesome. A beautiful reef with an insane amount of living creatures. We bought a prospectus in Naama with pictures of the inhabitants of the Red Sea. I think we saw almost everyone and everything. The hotel has 2 good short pontoons and a convenient entry from concrete slabs, it was just opposite our room, and we swam from it. It is very important that when in other hotels it was very windy on the beach (November after all) and people could not sunbathe and swim (for example, in the LTI Grand Azur), we were warm and calm.

The food is normal. Nobody got poisoned. The dishes were washed and it was enough. Everything is edible, although some dishes are simply unusual for us. Always delicious fish, delicious grill (chicken, beef (she chewed great! ), kebabs), lots of pastries, etc. Maybe we were lucky with the chef?
In any case, my men (in the amount of three) were not hungry. Local alcoholic drinks can also be consumed, most importantly in normal quantities. Although by the end of the stay, the food is still boring. So no one argues that home is better.


The animation is funny. The whole day of games, gymnastics, dancing, etc. We did not participate ourselves, but looked from the side, just like a free circus. Well done animators, they tried very hard. But if you want wild fun and until the morning, then you are not here. Special thanks to the children's animators - Italian Sonia and Lola from Sudan. They played well with the children in the kids club, and in the evenings both children danced with pleasure at the mini-disco.

Staff behavior is ok. And they helped move the trestle bed, and open the umbrella, and smiled. Flirted and familiarized only with children. And the differences between Russian speakers and Italians, who are many in the hotel, do not make either. You yourself do not need to be rude, and you will not hear anything bad in response.
And the fact that they deliver drinks to Italians themselves, etc. , will be brought to you if you give him some small change. I saw how the Italians gave Egyptian half a pound each, and for this money the waiters bowed and ran like soaped ones.
Maybe there were some disadvantages (at the end of our stay, they began to build another beach bar, just on the side of the hotel where we lived; well, they are builders worse than our Moldovans, they built it for a penny, ditched around the lawns and paths for a ruble, wheelbarrows with sand managed to carry on a tiled floor; but oh well, they practically did not make noise, they did not interfere with rest, and thanks for that), then you need to look at it with optimism. Drunk “Russians” (i. e. Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc. ) in large numbers is also a minus not for the hotel, but for us “Russians”.

In any case, the sea, sun, vacation and good mood outweigh.
Bottom line: we loved it.
Since, judging by the reviews, anything can happen in “cool” hotels, they don’t look for good from good, and next time we will most likely return to this hotel.
