It is very difficult to evaluate objectively, because this is my first holiday in Egypt. But paradise, as many wrote, I did not see there. Paradise is only the sea, corals and fish!! ! The hotel area is very beautiful, clean, there are many pools, but at this time in Egypt the temperature is not very high and the sun hides at 4 pm, so it was cool, and the water is heated in only one pool, and then for me it was cool, very warm in children's pools. The sea is cool, especially when there is no wind. The beach is located at the Sonesta Beach Hotel, about 10 minutes on foot, it didn’t bother us, but I concluded that the next time the hotel is only on the seashore, otherwise you come to the beach, all the places by the sea are occupied by five, and then they look at you if you suddenly managed to find a good place. In general, the beach is small and on it, in addition to 5 and 4, there are 2 more hotels. There were a lot of people! The water is cool, you go ashore the wind, it's still winter. There are a lot of beautiful fish, there are live corals. There is our bar on the beach, but I have never seen snacks there, although we came at 10 am and left for lunch, we did not have time to get hungry. The restaurant at the hotel is more like a dining room, fed normally, breakfasts are really rather weak, three types of scrambled eggs in 7 days are tired, and they have sausages and frankfurters! But lunches and dinners were plenty to choose from, different meats: lamb, chicken, partridges, beef, grilled meat, side dishes, salads, vegetables, all kinds of pastries, in short, you can’t try everything at a time. Of course, their food is specific, all with spices and vegetables, but my husband really liked it. Fruits: bananas, tangerines, oranges, dates, guava, melon. Sometimes there were no tables, plates, cups, small queues for some kind of dish, but it's not scary. The attitude at the hotel is normal, even too much, they are so annoying with their constant attention that sometimes you want to go unnoticed. The rooms are of course interesting, in the Nubian style, without windows, but with balconies. They immediately wanted to change, and then changed their minds. There are better rooms with a large window to the ground, but these rooms are immediately offered more expensive in tour agencies. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who writes reviews, at least some kind of reference to the hotel. The hotel seems to be good, but the second time I would not go there, I want something better. The price was high 1400 dollars for 7 days, because the holidays, now this hotel costs 900 bucks, this price is more suitable for him. Oh, and also, who wants to have fun, you don’t come here, it’s quiet, calm, the animators were only 2 times, it seemed like there was a disco. For children there are slides, a water park. Have a nice holiday everyone.
