Не для активного сноркелинга! Not for active snorkelling!

We rested in Tamra in late May - early June. We were satisfied with all aspects of the holiday: beautiful territory, large and comfortable rooms. Good food by today's Egyptian standards, everyone cooks deliciously. Funny guys animators. It was a pleasure to interact with them and their leader Mido! BUT: we are lovers of active snorkeling, we are used to swimming a lot in the Red Sea without restrictions, but here we were not given the opportunity to swim almost at all. And it's not because of the unrest of the sea or currents. It is absolutely clear that a normal person will not climb into the sea in a storm on his own. In good weather and calm, the so-called "lifeguard" on the pier does not allow you to swim further than 20 meters along the reef either to the right or to the left of it. Whistle, swallowing the whistle, demands to return. At the same time, a diver from a local diving club dives with clients and into a storm, accompanies those who want to swim for money along the reef. Hence this "concern for the safety of vacationers. " One does not allow you to swim on your own, the other takes money for surface escort. A separate case is security on the beach. Begs vacationers for chocolate, cigarettes, cola. In general, all this beach mafia negates the efforts of dozens of people who want to make their stay at the hotel comfortable so that people return. As a result: if you like to swim actively and on your own, this hotel is not for you. I don’t know if the administration reads these reviews, but it is necessary to take action to correct the situation ! ! By the way, this is not just my opinion. We talked to many people in the hotel and found agreement on this issue.
