Exactly a month ago, I was going on a long-awaited vacation and had no idea what it would be like. A week before choosing a hotel, I woke up and decided that the first one that came across would be mine. He was in the telegram mailing list - Tamra Beach Resort.
Reviews about Tamra were in unison with desires. Thanks to everyone who is not stingy to share. The main positive impression from viewing the photo was the room. Until I settled in, I could not believe that they really are so huge. Imagine a 55-meter standard with a huge bed, in addition to the doors to the balcony or terrace, there is also a window. Lots of space, lots of light, lots of room for things - two closets, separate shower and bath.
My room was a place to relax and cool off. Air conditioning saved from the August African heat. If you haven't been to Egypt in the summer, you don't know what the word "heat" means. : )
I see that I confidently moved from the opening speech to the deed. For the last month I have been in a hurry to return there at least in my thoughts).
In fact, my random choice turned out to be a hit in the top 10. And absolutely, it does not matter that the hotel is not even a 5-ka. It so happened that a week later my brother's family and I again went to Egypt, to Hurghada, in an excellent 5-ku. Water park, several a la carte restaurants, etc. , etc. For a family with small children, it was the right choice, but I missed Tamra. For the atmosphere that I found there.
Atmospheric hotel. Exactly.
But I'll try anyway.
We arrived around six in the morning. Arriving at five, I met the sunrise at the airport, and on the way in the bus I enjoyed the hot horizons of the morning African sky and desert.
The hotel told us to wait. A Russian-speaking receptionist will arrive at 8:30. Yes, check-in is standard at 14. But there was hope due to quarantine restrictions - the hotel was 50% occupied - to instantly overcome this obstacle. Unjustified expectations slightly blurred the first impression.
I am writing about this here, because I really had to worry for the first couple of hours, answering the question to myself - why not go to an already familiar place? (although, not the fact that in many other places it would be different). And yes, you will not find a chic hall in Tamra, and when we arrived, the one that was was not cooled. The heat was coming. I wanted to change clothes, eat and go to the sea. Also, first impressions can be deceiving. And so it happened.
The hotel was asleep, I went down the shady streets (those who have been to Italy, they say they have similarities) to the sea. There is really a lot of greenery there: date palms, flowers, cacti - in a word, beautiful.
Some of the new arrivals and resourceful have already opened champagne and quietly celebrated the beginning of the holiday on the beach. By the way, mostly Ukrainians rested here, half, if not more, flew in from Lviv. I heard more than once from local workers that they have already successfully learned a lot of Ukrainian words.
) But the staff mostly spoke English. So when I came to the bar and to my "Do you speak russian? ", I heard "A little bit" in response, I realized that I would have to remember English. At least a minimal knowledge of this language will help you. But you won’t get lost with Russian, even Ukrainian was understood by many, if you provide your wish with gestures. Italian will do too. ) After all, in pre-quarantine times, the hotel was designed specifically for the Italians. There were also Belarusians here - wonderful people.
In general, despite the all-inclusive, vacationers enjoyed their vacation in moderation - I did not notice any busts in a week. Unless, at the very end, some guys of 25 years old came and started playing their music. It was unpleasant, because they did it defiantly, we forgot about this behavior in a week.
But Mido - the master of the disco and our good mood, even managed to negotiate with these petty violators of the arrangement, and very diplomatically regained the rights of the owner of the parties, and for us peace and a sense of relaxation).
Mido is an animator from God. As he himself said, he did not have time to be born, but he already made both relatives and staff laugh. How exactly ask him yourself)). His family of lawyers did not resist the gift of his son, and now he has been doing his favorite job for many years, almost all his life. It was he who became one of the important creators of the atmosphere, which I have already mentioned more than once. Literally the day I arrived, I felt like part of the family. Only here everyone smiled at each other almost all the time.
Mido remembered my name on the second try and it didn't sound like him. His memory for names is a local highlight, in my opinion. But I liked the way he called me. Maybe the parents made a mistake once?
Mido is really, among other things, an excellent psychologist - he felt to whom, with what and when to approach. You can praise it for a long time, but when you are there, you will understand for yourself. God forbid you get bored, he will find you and cheer you up. But I note: not_obtrusively.
Separately, I simply have to mention the bar on the beach. It opened around 8:30. And they make real coffee! Espresso, latte and other cappuccino. And Abdul did them. He, like Mido, was the master, only of drinks. Abdul remembered my preferences instantly, and even if they changed depending on the time of day or mood, he did a great job with new inputs. Agree, on vacation, when the day consists mainly of swimming / sunbathing, diving into the underwater world, food and drinks, coffee occupies a very important place. And if it is made with a little bit of kindness and care, it has no price.
Returning to the settlement, I got a wonderful number 7105 - two steps to the sea and, again, a bar with coffee.
The restaurant and a large pool with a bar, where Wi-Fi is also not far away. Everything is nearby. The first hours of waiting and doubts soon disappeared and I didn’t think about them anymore.
The food was delicious, not as varied, of course, as we later had in Hurghada, but it wasn’t enough for me, almost every day I discovered some new dish for myself, deciding to experiment.
Discos, karaoke ...Well, you understand, Mido did not let you get bored. We all sang "Chervona Ruta" together, sang "My Belarus" to Belarusians. At a mango party, believe it or not, they ate mangoes. And they danced a lot to good music.
And in the morning I still woke up at dawn. Time stretched, slowed down and turned from an owl into a lark.
Finally. Diving lovers. There, as my new girlfriend said: "Nemo. "
We went on a boat to the sea, but, in my humble opinion, those coral reefs and underwater inhabitants that lived near Tamra are not only not inferior, they are much brighter than what we saw in special places.
Of the minuses, perhaps the lack of a traditional place to swim. The entrance to the open sea is only from the pontoon, but this is not very convenient. Yes, and in the morning almost always - a black flag hung, which meant dangerously - the wind. But this is the case almost everywhere in Sharm. You can go from the shore, swim, lie down on the pebbles, and it’s safe for children, because even at high tide there is no more than an adult’s waist.
Despite this nuance, I hope to return there. Just for myself now I know what's what.
Special thanks to the hotel management, their care and soul invested was felt even in small things. The chief manager was present everywhere, personally interested in almost everyone whether everything was fine. There was even a special party dedicated to the comfort of the guests.
Everything was really good. Thank you!
