I join all the positive reviews. I won’t repeat myself and I’ll try briefly: we were in January, be prepared for weather surprises: either a strong wind and you don’t feel like swimming at all, then a baking sun and up to 30 and without wind, then the wind changes direction and becomes very pleasant. However, in no case does it carry sand.
We bought a deluxe room with a sea view, upon arrival at about 9-00 in the morning the rooms were already booked, who was in what (they gave a hot towel and a slightly chemical cocktail too). I really asked for a room in the main building (I wanted to live above the 3rd floor and overlook the pool). My request was fulfilled (for free) and settled on the 8th floor with a view not of the sea, but of the bay (which turned out to be even better for us. The balcony is separated from all the neighbors, so we didn’t see or hear them). The bungalow room in which they wanted to settle us somehow charred and then we went to see what was better (the bungalow turned out to be 108.1st floor on the third line. Maybe inside the room was somehow better or more, I don’t know, but there was no sea view exactly). The disadvantage of the 8th floor was the ventilation on the roof, which was very audible at night.
There are 3 beaches in the hotel (1 small one with steps in the rock), there were the least people (15 sunbeds) and far from the bar, since almost no one went there, but we liked it.
Waiters walk along the beach: they carry all coffee, beer, delicious cocktails, I liked Jamaica). They wear fruits on long skewers and yes! They rub their glasses too. Here is the service! Towels on the sunbeds are also brought and covered by themselves. True, be prepared, no one is against a small reward and the next day they will come to you first.
Reef: swam near the 2 (left) pontoon. Of course there is a reef, but for us non-professionals we didn’t really like it, since the depth is about 15 m, maybe more and not a very large selection of fish. No, of course there are a lot of them, but they are monotonous and on depth and it’s very difficult to see from above what kind of fish it is (we saw a flute, a lot of parrots of 2 species, we saw once at the bottom of a ramp driven by a couple of fish, a fish surgeon and Picasso (flashed a couple of times). It looked like this every day, almost some kind of fish "hung" in its place (depth and location) and if it decided to roll over, then it could be seen. For those who have not seen reefs at all, of course they will like it. In Taba, we liked the reef more.
The food in the restaurant is more Westernized and the Arabian spices are not very noticeable compared to other hotels. I somehow didn’t notice themed evenings in the kitchen, except for Sunday, when they gave sushi. And so there were spaghetti every day, different fish and meat. Everything is very tasty. and delicious, (and not from the same dough and cream, but of different shapes). The level of cooks and confectioners was felt. For breakfast there was oatmeal or vermicelli with milk, pancakes, or waffles and scrambled eggs, etc. A lot of vegetables, although there were also complex snacks (from 3 or more ingredients). Everything was on the menu at the beach bar: 3 types of pizzas, salads, second courses. You order and they bring it to you. gets dirty. These are my personal impressions. )
In the evening, a violinist or an electric guitar plays in the hall on the 7th floor, a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The waiters carry different drinks. There were really several times evening animations, generally average (such as amateur performances in a country club, although the animators did their best) (indoors, because for some reason everyone was afraid of the cold in the evenings) and karaoke in the disco (didn’t go, I don’t know) .
Wi-Fi worked fine in the room, but since I definitely needed to work, I went into the hall (where it worked better) and it was again more pleasant to the violin and hot chocolate. A guide from Coral, a standard one, since we didn’t need him, we didn’t really communicate. We were going on an excursion to Luxor with another company (we have been using their services for 3 years), but due to a referendum, the excursion was postponed (and the date of our transfer, Unfortunately, it didn't work).
The spa has a very good swimming pool - jacuzzi (large 50-60 meters), where in the evening you can relax in the open air in hot (38 degrees) water.
In general, the hotel fully met all expectations, it's a pity there were very few days.
Room tip: deluxe or lower with sea or bay view
