Hello everyone who reads! I rarely write reviews, so don't be too hard on me. . .
To begin with, we rested with a company of three families, 9 people. Adults and one child. 5.11 - 12.11. 2016. In Egypt, the least, my wife and I - the 9th time. All the time hotels 5ki. There is something to compare with. I do not take Europe into account - Egyptian and Eurostars are different. Those who have been will agree. Conkingent - 90% Ukraine, 18% Russia and Belarus, 2% Europe, Arabs 2 families per hotel.
Will I return to this hotel - no. I want something new. Will I go to Egypt again - yes. Ideal option - in the summer to the Mediterranean, and in late autumn to the Red. December and March - skiing.
Are you satisfied with the rest - definitely "yes". Friends agree with me. There are no ideal concepts and things in the world. I'll start with the positive.

1. Staff - 5k. There are no comments. Ahmet received us at the reception. Just a nice and competent person. With him, and guides are not needed. Considering that half the bus was checking into the hotel at the same time, the check-in and check-in process is well thought out (not without an oriental trick). Arrived at the hotel at 9.00. immediately handed over passports and vouchers. Bracelets. And for breakfast. My wife and I took the ROH number. For 10 tanks a day we got a 3-seater with a sea view. Issued a receipt. Apparently legal. Everyone is happy. At 12.00 dismantling of suitcases and on the beach. Cleaning. - the boy Abdo worked qualitatively and sincerely. With daily wet cleaning and replacement of towels not thrown on the floor (we are used to changing them every two or three days in Europe). Always put 3 bottles of water in the minibar. Timely replenished cosmetic prichandaly. The room had a corner for tea drinking - a kettle, cups, a set of several varieties of tea, sugar and cream. Everything is always in sufficient quantity. The man is in his place. Bartenders and waiters. Fast, agile. Not a single request went unheeded. Definitely a "thank you". For that, the table is always in openwork and a tray of drinks, etc. Animators - they did not use their services, but they worked well. Barkers on the beach for a massage, hammam, excursions, photo sessions - not very intrusive. Suffice it to say that you are here for the 9th time and there was no more contact. Upon departure (departure from the hotel at 16.00), bracelets are not removed. We didn't wait for the bus to the airport. We told the guide and took a taxi (a minibus for 9 people) for $ 30 and arrived in 10 minutes. By the way. Free baggage packing. Overweight luggage is not relevant. Inspection as betahonom - real. Drinking water taken from the hotel was taken away at the entrance. Buy in a cafe $ 3 0.5 liters - business.
2. Number - tired, but not old. Spacious. Everything worked. Plumbing and appliances are new and worked without problems. The air conditioning is thoughtful, comfortable and quiet - offset. Bed and linen are good. TV with HDMI input, plugged in net and watched your favorite movies and TV shows (downloaded in the room). I got an additional keycard from the reception. It's more convenient. There are no comments on the number. And most importantly, the view from the room. Ideal. I will long remember morning coffee with a view of the sun rising from the sea. Beautyaaaa.
3. WiFi. Separate topic. I have never seen such a water hotel in Egypt. The entire area is covered (almost). The speed for the jump is 380. Just once every five days you need to take a password in the form of a receipt at the reception (free of charge). For each gadget separately (we had three). For 8 days, not a single hang or rally. We communicated with friends at the hotel via viber and whatsapp.
4. Nutrition. No problems or complaints. The food was tasty and varied. Seafood - squid fish crabs. There are enough fruits - persimmon, orange, grapefruit, guava, melon, dates of 2 varieties, grapes, apples, pomegranate. Wine is better to take white. I am not a foodie. But you can drink. The rest is swill like in Egypt. Before boarding, they took Danish in a dyutik - it was enough without busting.

5. Sea. Beaches for every taste. The beds are new. The pontoon is short. The fish reef is great. For small children, a pleasant entrance from the shore. Hotel in a semi-bay. For 8 days, not a single red flag. The waves are gentle, lulling. I lay on my back and almost fell asleep. Scared. A lifeguard is constantly on duty with a whistle and a circle. At a distance of 10 - 15 m from the reef, a rope with buoys is stretched parallel to the shore. Those who swim poorly and are tired - rest by the rope or, moving their hands along it, pull themselves up to the pontoon. Very comfortable, well thought out. We changed beach towels in the evening and took them to the room, because in the morning at 6.00 we are on the beach, and towels are issued from 10.00. beach bars open at 10.00. About the pools - not bad. With awnings over sun loungers. But since I came to the sea, I have never been to the pool. Chlorine is enough for me at home.
6. Territory - multi-level but not tense and well-groomed.
7. Water park - were not. But others think it's good.
8. Shops near the hotel. Everything is more expensive than in the ilmercato area. But every day we bought mangoes for $1 per kg and took them to the beach as a dessert. This is MANGO. What I always buy in our supermarkets is some other canoe. And in taste and size and aroma and color.
And now the cons. There are not many.
1. Restaurant... this is a canteen. Clean, poor and a slight smell of antiseptic. For 5ki - weak. I don’t advise you to go to alacarte - it’s worse than in the main ones. On the 2nd day they stopped noticing. We dined mostly on the terrace. Still a view of the sea and fresh air.
2. Mosquitoes. Bring a fumigator with you and the issue is resolved. There are not many of them and the staff regularly fights with them.
3. Men on the beach - strain. But according to experienced people, this is a seasonal misfortune - there is a month and two are not. Who gets it. I think the 2nd and 3rd points can be combined.

4. The main scourge is the individual individuals of our compatriots. For me, Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians are compatriots. Quiet horror. If a person on an airplane yells to a flight attendant “pour booze - I have olinclusive”, then what to say in a hotel? I was morally killed by uncles with crosses and chains up to the pubis (you can plant a dzhulbars). They sit in the bar all day long, eating beer with bacon brought from home. Others peel the seeds, spitting the husks under their feet on the beach in the sand. For - it is impossible to spit in Vologda? Friends! Do not look for happiness in the swill. Get mad at home. Do not disgrace your countries and nations. Do not be rude to people and you will be treated like a human being. In a restaurant, do not take more food than you eat - this is redneck and squalor. Let's not forget the 33rd? Do not touch cakes and fruits with your hands - there are devices nearby for this. Don't be savages. I deeply on . . t, what is the opinion of you natives. Just watching all this is a miserable joke. Sometimes it seems that there was an open day in the durke or there is a full full and they no longer accept customers. I recall the expression: you can take a girl out of the village, but the village will not work out of it. It is not for nothing that there are more and more questions on the forums about Egi - “advise a hotel where there are no Arabs and our brother among the vacationers”, oh, not in vain...
