Hello everyone! Rested in this hotel with a friend. The overall impression of the hotel itself is good. Settled as expected at 14-00. True, one of the most recent. Every 10 minutes asking to wait. But, those who gave money received the keys to the room immediately. I don't mind $20. I just think that you should be grateful for the service already received. As I understand it, for Egypt, it is a common thing to extort tips. We got a good room, after renovation. There are no bad rooms at all in this hotel. The room has air conditioning, a kettle and tea accessories (tea, coffee, milk powder), which are replenished daily. By the way, the beds are very comfortable, wide, with a good mattress, you can easily sleep together. There is a shower gel, shampoo and body cream. Replenished regularly. The territory of the hotel is huge and very beautiful. She is just immersed in greenery. Lots of cacti, palm trees, flowers. The gardeners are just great. They touch every leaf with such love. The sea is awesome, lots of fish right next to the shore. The water is clear and warm, despite December. Entrance to the sea from the pontoon, There are also 3 concrete paths laid along the corals. You can also splash along the coast. Depth 1m-1.20. There is sand at the bottom, then there are corals. A rope is stretched before the corals. It is very convenient for small children and for those who cannot swim. True, we were in the midst of a shark attack on people. And the hotel is located just in the shark bay, so no one was allowed into the sea, even on a pontoon. Well, at least you could splash in the sea to the rope. In other hotels they did not let you into the water at all. So, we can say we are still lucky. The beach is large and sandy. There is even a relax beach for those who want privacy. There are practically no people and no music is heard. There is a wild beach nearby. A new hotel is being built there and you can swim safely. By the way, there were plenty of people who wanted extreme sports. Nobody is kicked out of the water. Animators entertain people all day. Conduct aqua aerobics, yoga, step aerobics, dancing by the pool and on the beach. They play volleyball, bochu. In general, do not get bored. Various shows are held in the evening. The truth is vulgar, depicting something like a sexual intercourse. And they represent 2 men. And the animators are dancing at the disco in a strange way. It felt like I was at a gay party. This is apparently due to the lack of women. True, I really liked the Michael Jackson show and when they chose the Mr. Hotel. There are many small children in the hotel. The animator Irina is working with them. She loves children very much. They are crazy about her. The main contingent of the hotel is 50% British. 30% Russian, there are French, Germans. Foreigners are treated much better than Russians. They literally lick them, and without a tip. I observed a picture in the main restaurant: How an English family first came to dinner. The waiter immediately rushed over to them. Offered a free table. He asked what their names were, where they were from and what they would order? And without any tip, he brought them everything. Russians serve themselves. Only our own carried coffee and alcohol. They rarely approached ours, even if they saw a dollar. The food is excellent. Always in the presence of beef, chicken, often there was a lamb, very tasty. Lots of vegetables and herbs. From fruits: oranges, tangerines, dates, bananas, guava, persimmon, gray fruit, grapes. And what are the desserts? . Just a fairy tale. Chefs are great. The only thing missing was our soups and dumplings. In Egypt, there were mostly mashed soups. Food was plentiful and always fresh. . Nobody got sick. There are 6 bars on the territory of the hotel: 2 in the reception building, 4 on the territory of the hotel. From alcohol normal only beer, wine. The rest is impossible to drink. By the way, on the beach, next to the towel exchange point, there is a small inconspicuous bar in the form of a barn: called Tiran Beach Bar. Only in this bar bottled beer is poured, in others only draft beer. It has good rum. And the waiters are not greedy. So it's not a sin to give a tip. Every day from 15-17 free ice cream for all 4 varieties. Coffee lovers, I advise you to try it in the bar at the reception. I liked the espresso at the bar on the 2nd floor. There are fewer people there. Evenings at the hotel are boring. After 23-00 boring stuff. People either drink in bars or take a taxi and go to have fun in Naama Bay or in the Old Town. The hotel has free discos, but no one goes to them, although there are a lot of young people in the hotel. Music or acid or rap. People come to dance, but after sitting for 15 minutes and listening to music, they leave. Many times they approached the DJ and asked for money to put on normal music, but he either pretends not to slander or says it’s not allowed. Animators are actively offering to go to Naama Bay to a nightclub for $ 40, alcohol included. For 11 days of our stay at the hotel there was only one normal disco, when there was a change of animators. There was good music and a lot of people. Outside the hotel there is a desert and several shops. From the excursions I took only Israel for 2 days and Mount Moses. Both excursions at Pegasus. The tour operator is not happy with this. There was simply no other choice. But that's not what we're talking about. To whom it will be interesting why: they will ask me separately. Who will take Mount Moses, dress warmly. When we climbed it there was snow, an icy wind and a temperature of -15. I regretted not wearing winter boots. The mittens were very helpful. And don't forget to take a first aid kit with you. The descent from the mountain is very steep and slippery. You can easily fall. When I was going down the mountain with me, several people were injured. And one flew into the crevice. Therefore, wear non-slip shoes. Heart patients and hypertensive patients should definitely take the medicines that they regularly take. When you climb to the top of the mountain it is very difficult to breathe because of the thinness of the air. . If you have any questions write me and I will answer everyone.
