I’ll note right away that despite the nuances of the hotel, my vacation was a success. I always tune in to the positive on vacation, but for my rest, the main thing is not the perfect room, perfect cleaning, and super food.
Therefore, I will note the undoubted advantages of the hotel:
- large territory
- a lot of palm trees, greenery, flowers, which are looked after
- many pools
- pleasant music by the pools, on the beach, in the restaurant creates an excellent atmosphere of relaxation
- there is an entry into the sea from the shore (but in slippers! ), waist-deep, you can swim, and swim among the fish. But there are ebbs and flows. Nabq Bay is windy, so it is not always possible to swim from the pontoon, especially in the morning. The reef is not the most diverse, but there is something to see.
- huge rooms with a terrace on the 1st floor or a large balcony on the second
- beach towels without cards
- espresso and hibiscus all day at the bars

- no need to occupy places on the beach and pools - well, this is possible due to the occupancy of the hotel by 50% due to quarantine
- a separate respect to the cook, who in the morning in the restaurant on omelettes, in the afternoon on pizza in the bar - FELLOW LOVE!!!
- the bartender at the beach bar is very attentive, excellent visual memory
- Internet is normal - available at the reception, at the pool bar, at the beach bar, catches on the beach, but not everywhere
- antiseptics are everywhere on the territory
Of the nuances that are important to someone and can ruin the rest:
1. The main disadvantage of the hotel is the restaurant. The food is rather poor, even by Egyptian standards.
There is no fruit for breakfast, except for a dubious apple and melon fruit salad.
For lunch and dinner in a restaurant from alcohol only beer and red wine (there is no white even in bars! ).
- You might not get watermelon for lunch. At the same time, the cook, cutting it, cuts out all the middles of watermelons right in front of the vacationers and puts them inside the table. To my remark, why there is no watermelon for vacationers, but the middle ones in the table, they pretended (including the chef! ) that they did not understand me. I said I would write about it, which I do. Hotel shambles!
- Because of the quarantine, the cooks impose dishes - I asked for a salad not two spoons, but three, and it feels like they are deducting it from the chef's salary. The poor men also seemed to beg for pieces of meat - not very pleasant, given that there is nothing to choose from.
- Buy belts in trousers for waiters - they constantly pull them up
2. Beer at the bar on the beach very often ended unexpectedly. Of course the men were shocked!
3. Room cleaning 1 time in 3 days. I don't care. Someone was surprised. At the same time, the floors and tables are always dirty - they do not teach to wash the floors.
4. The furniture in the rooms is sooo old, in places there are drawers without handles
5. Sunbeds on the beach like folding beds, without mattresses

6. The deck chairs by the pools are wooden, decrepit, the mattresses are old, they are dried out
7. Towels in the room and beach towels are old, the threads are hanging
8. The staff speaks very little Russian, because it used to be designed for Italians. But the staff tries, they teach, which causes respect.
9. The territory is not designed for baby carriages - paved tiles are everywhere. There is no children's animation, except for 1h in the evening. Children also have problems with nutrition.
In general, you can relax wonderfully, if these features of the hotel are not important to someone.
Gorgeous photos guaranteed!
But something needs to be done about the restaurant. . .
