Отель не обманул ожиданий The hotel did not disappoint

Rested at the hotel "Tiran Island" June 5-17.2010. Before that - 4 trips to Turkey, Germany, Spain and one visit to Egypt. Liked the hotel. The tour operator "Pegas-touristik" promptly met and saw off. The hotel guide Chingiz always visited the reception hall at one time. It is not far from the airport - it was appreciated when we arrived at night. Settled quickly in good rooms on the ground floor. With a view of the children's pool, bushes, palm trees. Even the sea peeped through them. They didn't pay anything. But acquaintances from Ukraine had to pay an extra $30 to be moved from a room with a view of the desert and planes. Here's how lucky anyone is. Room (1017) is one of the best that I got during my vacation. Everything is comfortable and stylish. A spacious room, a large bed, an ironing board (an iron is provided free of charge at the reception), not a shower, but a real bath. The water was always hot. You just need to make a strong pressure so that the shower does not switch. The door to the next room was, but closed and did not interfere. It was nice sometimes to sit on the terrace, enjoying the silence and the scenery. Mosquitoes did not get the first week. Then either they crept in from the street, or through the ventilation. The legs are still bitten. Large Egyptian cockroaches never appeared. And rare flies at the reception are exterminated by a man in white with something like a tennis racket (she beats them with a current).
They came to eat half an hour after the start of lunch or dinner. We always found places, even if we had to look closely. In addition, there is also a veranda and a second hall. Food. As already noted, a little economical and freshish, but quite enough. Simple, comes on quickly. 5 types of fruit were, unfortunately, watermelons were never given. Delicious pastries. In the mornings, they grabbed a couple of croissants or buns and then they had an afternoon snack on the beach. There was a fish, a couple of times - a small one of those that swim in the sea, and another fillet - like a sole. Beef is often harsh, cutlets were not fried, chicken was dry. Eggplants are indeed worthy of praise. Desserts are weak. After dinner, they gave chips (I tried it once - I didn’t like it), I didn’t take sandwiches even once, I didn’t like ice cream. Very tasty bottled beer. Wine - either heavily diluted, or powdered. Ugh. In the evenings, we drank cocktails with gin in the hookah bar - a very nice place. Hookah, however, costs $ 3, and is rather weak. In Naama they smoked better for a dollar. But it's nice to sit on the couch, climbing on it with legs, chatting to pleasant music. And if you regularly say “Good evening”, “Please” and “Thank you” to the bartender (and not only him), you hear “Thank you” in response. And two drinks in one hand are somehow given by themselves (but sometimes they are harmful). One bartender on the beach sometimes did not behave very hospitably, but he was soon transferred somewhere.
In general, if you do not find fault with trifles, positive is guaranteed. The area is very clean. Well-groomed. Greenery, though a new hotel, is. The pool is large, you can just swim up to the bar for a drink. Cool. There is a free gym and a paid massage center. I did seven massages - they do it pretty well, and if you bargain, you can get a good discount. The staff, if they see that you are going to the reception door, even if you have to wait, they will always wait for you and open it for you. Nicely. In general, the hall draws on 5. A wooden bridge, stylish vases, an inner garden, furniture, decoration - beautiful, tasteful. There is a place to sit, in the evenings - live music. But drinks in the lobby are for a fee. This zone is free for those who have "ultra all inclusive". There the Germans hang out mostly. Foreigners, by the way, were enough. Theirs too.

The second line of the hotel somehow did not bother. To the sea - after leaving the gate - I counted 650 of my steps. Often walked on foot, in the morning it is quite comfortable. It was also nice to ride on an open bus. True, it broke down later, and for some time a large closed minibus drove. The heat, if you do not climb out from 12 to 4 in the sun, is tolerated normally. The sea is generally comfortable, the pool, of course, was hot. They came at the beginning of the ninth to the beach and after four, they always found free places in the upper tier, it is closer to the pontoon, but there is also a lower one. Much has been written about the sea. The reef, the fish, the view of Tiran Island - everything is great. I saw a big turtle, right from the pontoon near the shore I photographed a sea cat twice - like a small speckled stingray, I saw a big one in the sea, I also saw a barracuda, a pipe fish, parrots and Napoleons and a lot of living creatures, whose names I don’t know yet. By the way, when we walked along the promenade, we fell in love with our beach and the hotel even more. And the pontoon is shorter, and the sea is calmer. Mattresses, by the way, do not have to wait. They are already in bed.
Animation. Basically, well done. There were six of them, along with the DJ, the seventh was on vacation. There is a girl from Ukraine, Tatyana, the rest speak a little Russian. With pleasure, in the mornings on the beach, I did exercises with them every day (thanks to Tanya, Amr and Ziko for not gaining kilograms). Evening shows at 21.45. About three - dance, on their own, in beautiful costumes, plus parodies of the stars, sketches, cabaret shows, karaoke evening. One imported show - belly dancing and so on. Always announce in Russian what will happen. Special thanks to Amru - awesome dancing tanoura, the famous dance in a skirt! After the show, I visited the amphitheater and a disco. But that's a strong word. 5-6 people danced for 20 minutes or a little longer, the animators who wanted to later were taken to a paid disco. Maybe that’s why they didn’t scatter forces on the hotel room. It's a pity.
On a hotel mini-bus, I recommend going to Soho Square in the evening - two euros or three dollars round trip. Take away at 9 pm. At 00.30 - back. During this time, you can take a walk, buy souvenirs in local shops, take pictures to your heart's content with all kinds of sculptures and without them, enjoy the inclusion of a color-musical fountain two or three times and sit in a hookah bar or eat ice cream.
In general, I give the hotel a solid four. I would love to go back there sometime.
