Having decided to go to Egypt in mid-December and celebrate a birthday there, the choice of the hotel fell on Cleopatra Luxury Resort 5 *. We chose the hotel solely on the basis of photos and reviews on the Internet. At the time of leaving for vacation, I seemed to be ready for both the positive and negative aspects of the hotel, which many considered the location, the Nabq area, weather conditions in December, a dead reef and strong low tides.

The trip was organized by tour operator Turtess. Many tourists are not satisfied with the quality of services of this company, for my part I want to say thank you for the well-organized transfer, flight and rest. No delays, delays or inconvenience.

Impressions about the hotel, for better readability, I'll try to break it down into micro-topics.

ACCOMMODATION. The arrival at the hotel was late - the beginning of the eighth evening. The check-in procedure took about 10 minutes, and then, only by the fact that they filled out cards of vacationers.

The room was given 1117, this is the main building, the second floor, the view of both the sea and the pool, in general, the entire hotel. They did not pay extra for the room and did not change it to another, because the room turned out to be excellent - large, clean, comfortable and in the very center of the hotel with a beautiful view from the window, in fact, everything we wanted. The decor in the room is nice, the furniture, of course, is not only brought from the store and has already been used by vacationers, but the feeling of shabby, old and worn out not only doesn’t arise, but it’s just ridiculous to say so. For three years of operation of the hotel, this is an excellent piece of furniture, which is fully consistent with the photographs presented on the official website of Cleopatra Luxury. The only downside is the broken hair dryer. After contacting Anna's guesthouse, a new hair dryer was installed in the room during the day (tip number 1 - for all questions, contact the reception or Anna's hospitality, do not terrorize your guide - he will not help you in hotel matters).
NUTRITION. Very good selection of dishes and food - ranging from oatmeal to grilled crabs. It’s simply not possible to leave hungry, you get tired so tasty and often eat). Sweet and pastry lovers, this is just heaven for you. Delicious melons, bananas and pomegranates, apples, grilled fish or meat every evening, unsurpassed pancakes, which long before the end of breakfast were sorted out by lovers of delicious. And cocoa .....I still remember cocoa). Lots of fresh vegetables, two types of juice: lemon and pineapple, delicious coffee and very good chocolate ice cream on the beach. For those who like to read criticism, I note, persimmon ...it was green.

A la carte restaurants: there are two of them - Fellini and Fish restaurant. Appointment the day before the visit at Anna's gestrelation. I put Fellini 5, Rybny-4, but again, everything is subjective and not for everybody. And most importantly, in all this abundance of dishes and pastries, there were no problems with digestion throughout the rest).

SERVICE.
Everyone is kind, polite and smiling. The whole hotel is like a big bee that wakes up early and immediately gets to work. Everyone is doing something all day long: washing, cleaning, cleaning. If you are friendly and polite, everyone will sympathize with you, from the cleaners to the restaurant administrator). I did not feel racial discrimination, they brought me drinks at the same speed as the German at the next table. My only little advice number 2 is that knowing English for the Slavs has never been superfluous.

Room cleaning was excellent. Our $1 cleaner was ready to move mountains and weave the most intricate crocodiles). Yes, and ask for bathrobes at the reception, they will not refuse you. Beach towels are clean and changed regularly.

For birthdays, a birthday cake and congratulations in the room are provided.

The hotel has a Spa-salon on the beach, did a good Egyptian massage. $80 for two, 50 min. Also, through the hotel agency, they ordered a boat trip to about.

Tyrant on a yacht, all day, $40 per person (up to 25 people on a yacht). Everyone was satisfied. Tip number 3 - if the offers of massage therapists, hotel photographers, newspaper men and excursion sellers seem very intrusive to you, take the "Do not disturb" sign by the pool - and no one dares to disturb you).

ENTERTAINMENT. I consider myself a vacationer who loves to lounge on a sun lounger, cruise between the pools to a light lounge, sip a cocktail and relax. So loud animation, dancing and participating in various competitions are not for me. The infinity pool was my favorite place to sunbathe. The water in this pool is, frankly, invigorating. Near the heated pool, the main activities took place: aqua aerobics, water polo, fitness, darts, yoga. True, darts and yoga were still on the beach, and beach volleyball, of course.
There is a tennis court and a fitness room: two small rooms, but very worthy simulators. In the evenings from 21:30 entertainment program: our hotel animators or visiting artists. In the hall, in the central building, jazz was played in the evenings and there was mulled wine, and, of course, free Wi-Fi. For three nights in a row, the animators arranged a trip to the best nightclubs in Sharm: Dolce vita, Pacha and Space Sharm. In general, every vacationer could find entertainment according to their taste and age). For children there is a children's room. Animators English, Russian and Italian speaking, very nice and friendly.

SEA. Weather, sea, corals, fish - everything was wonderful. For eight days a yellow flag hung on our pier, for four days in a row it was completely calm, the sea was +24-fairy tale. The hotel reef impressed me. Even after boat trips on about. Tyrant, I was happy to return to our beach, to cute fish and sea urchins. Snorkeling was a real pleasure.
Of the minuses, this is the low tide, which was a couple of times, after four days, exposed the coast with a not very beautiful landscape, but since by five in the evening the tanning time was over, this view did not overshadow the rest.

TERRITORY. Big, beautiful and well maintained. Flowers and trimmed lawns, clean pools. A beautiful beach infrastructure is offered - gazebos for relaxation, comfortable sun loungers and mattresses. Lobby bar overlooking the sea.


P. S. The hotel is 50% Italian, 10% Russian, 10% Arab, 30% German and English. At the time of our stay, the hotel was 60% full. The location near the airport and occasionally flying planes did not affect the quality of the stay at the hotel. Our vacation went off without a hitch. There were no worries and disappointments. The hotel showed itself from the best side. The charge of positive emotions for the New Year was received in full). Thanks to everyone who read*
