We were in the spring and decided to go in the fall for two reasons: for us personally it was a convenient flight and the best is the enemy of the good : ) The nuances of the settlement: they settle really quickly (up to 7-10 minutes) and while they are making out - the waiters respond quickly and offer drinks. But personally, they mixed up our passports with other people, and it’s good that we discovered this when we went diving (they need documents for diving), otherwise there could have been problems with the return flight. They found people on the beach themselves, changed their documents themselves. They made surprised eyes at the reception when they said this and did not offer anything as compensation (I asked for a discount on a romantic dinner at a table near the sea), as a result they sent an unwashed plate of fruit, and the same ones that are in the main restaurant for free ( for money they have mango, pineapple, kiwi available and this is not included in AI, also fresh juices are not included in AI - only for money, and not sickly: a glass of minced orange - $ 3.75).
As for food: the choice, in principle, is normal. There is something for vegetables, salads, snacks to choose (we personally took fresh vegetables and herbs), there are also a lot of side dishes and there are very interesting ones (with beans, for example). Seafood is not as much as we would like, but there are always 2-3 types of fish (fried, baked, in sauces with spices), eats squid in one form or another (but those that I took were not very cooked: a lot of oil , very fatty or slightly overcooked). There are more than enough meat dishes, but you need to be prepared for the fact that they can add oriental pepper to some : ) There are a lot of cakes and pastries, as well as sweets. Compared to spring, there are fewer fatty cakes and more natural sweets. The choice of fruit is limited in the restaurant (otherwise they will not sell normal fruits), the grapes were tasty, but poorly washed. Drinks (even those for money) are only local, and if imported, then the cheapest. We don’t drink in principle (except perhaps a glass of wine a day, and even then not always), but such crap, even if we were paid, they wouldn’t drink.
Service as for Egypt - very much even nothing, sometimes they forget, but, fortunately, there are a lot of waiters and they will bring it quickly. On the beach, even with a heavy load of the hotel, you can find a place in the area you need. However, to score fat places, you must arrive no later than 7.15. They give you as many towels and pillows as you want (we took a couple more to dry off), open umbrellas and lay towels. Drinks and food from the beach bar are brought to the beach. The waiters are quick and all friendly, but if you give $ 1, you will be the king of the beach. On the beach, smokers are enraged and when paid services are imposed. You can’t do anything with smokers, since non-smokers are in the minority, and if you turn out to be from services a couple of times, they will remember you and won’t come up - they will just say hello.
The territory is small, but well-groomed. You can even play football on the lawn, if you promise not to knock the ball on the flowers : ) A la carte in restaurants, if you order a menu not for AI: tasteless and expensive - just show-offs. If you want to really eat delicious seafood, then go to the Fares restaurant chain. The hit of the season, when in a la carte they sell you the same wine as on AI, but at the price of heroin : ) Animation, as for me, is normal: unobtrusively and everyone can find what they are interested in. Liked the stretch. In the evening, a very cool man-orchestra plays live music in the lobby: piano, synthesizer, violin. Very cool, for those who are in the subject.
They clean very well, it was not a pity to leave $ 1 each, in addition they collect different figures from towels. With shampoos, slippers, soap, etc. no problem. Televisions and hair dryers in the rooms are not the first freshness, but we did not use them, so it's all the same. The decoration in the rooms was done, apparently, by the locals: the lamps are not up to par, the quality of the putty leaves much to be desired, the putty of the joints in the tiles is shit-smeared, but this is Egypt, baby: ) Clean - and that's enough. Faucets and showers work fine, the bathroom is also fine. By the way, there is no brush in the bathroom. Probably, the management tells the cleaners their level on the social ladder in this way : ) If you open the windows, turn on the light and do not tightly curtain the door to the balcony, there is a chance to launch mosquitoes. They are few here, but they are there.
The reef is average: there are both more interesting and poorer ones in terms of fauna. You can, if you try, see stingrays, lionfish, moorren and even barracuda, tuna and crocodile fish. It's great that there is a diving center right on the territory of the hotel: they will teach and show the beauty of the sea from under the water. All instructors are Russian-speaking, you can bargain at the price of services. We received certificates, it was even possible to get an international plastic certificate, but we simply did not see the point. Will we go again: we need to seriously think.
