We are not the first time in Egypt, so there is something to compare this hotel with. Let's start with arrival: for the first time we arrived not late at night, but at lunchtime local time, so on the day of arrival it was possible to swim in the sea, but this is rather the merit of the carrier OrenAir. Settled without surcharges in a room on the 2nd floor, the lighthouse and a bit of the sea were visible from the balcony. The room was not cleaned very well and for some reason they came at 15-00 just when the youngest daughter had a quiet hour. I asked the guy who cleans to come before lunch, while we are at sea. The sea itself and the coral reef are, of course, magnificent, although on arrival for 2 days a very strong wind blew and swimming was prohibited. Regarding food: we didn’t go to overeat, but bask in the sun in winter, so we had enough, we weren’t hungry, and as for diversity, it’s necessary to go to Turkey in 5 *. Local alcohol sucks, but we chose a drink to our taste: vodka + sprite + menthol + ice. We recommend that you meet the bartender Ali, he works at the pool bar during the day, and in the evening at the Piazza Cafe, he made different cocktails for us, and in the evenings, when it was time for the younger one to sleep, we took the cocktails to the room, and then I came to him for more. As a sign of gratitude, he gave 1-2 dollars a day. The eldest daughter had a birthday, they decorated the table for dinner, brought a cake, sang songs, it was fun. After dinner, life in the hotel stops, tourists with red bracelets sit in the lobby bar, the rest probably sit in their rooms. Perhaps it was affected by the fact that it was cold in the evenings and it was not comfortable to sit in an open cafe. I didn’t like the hookah, some tobacco is not fragrant at all, though it costs only 3 dollars. On the day of departure, we had a plane at 18-00 local time, we were picked up from the hotel at 16-00, since check-out was at 12-00, we extended our stay for 15 euros per room for 3 hours. In general, the rest was a success, they came home tanned, rested from the hustle and bustle. Who needs a relaxing holiday, beautiful sea and corals, you are here. Who needs an abundance of food, sterile housekeeping, night discos, will be disappointed.
