There are no questions about the hotel. The rooms are spacious and overlook the pool. Pools 3: two for adults, one for children. The room has a refrigerator, TV - plasma, catches Russian channels, TNT. Beds are large and comfortable. If on the ground floor, then from the loggia you can immediately go to the pool. We were at the far pool, it was very calm there, no one was making noise, it was possible to sleep well. The only thing, mosquitoes, we were shocked, Egypt, heat and a cloud of mosquitoes in the room. Take some mosquito repellant with you.
Room cleaners are very clingy, they want tips. We hung a sign that the room did not need to be cleaned, so they stole it along the way and often knocked, offered to clean the room. The same annoying guy, he grabbed everything for the suitcase when they arrived. We took off the wheels for the airport, we didn’t put them back, so we refused to let him drag him, he would tear them, we carried them ourselves, so he tried many times to snatch this suitcase from his hands. When they came to the room, he turned on the TV and did not leave, well, they gave him a dollar. By the way, who arrived from the airport and was late for dinner, they give food, not much, but you can have a bite to eat. There are animators, mini discos in the evenings, darts games, there is a billiards on the second floor.
The food was very decent for a troika. Chicken, fried sausages, liver, fish a couple of times. I didn't like the fish, but that's my personal opinion. Sliced ​ ​ sausage and cheese, some kind of rubber, but in general you will not be hungry, you can find something tasty for yourself. Constantly several types of cakes and jelly. The chefs give them by the piece, but you can ask to add them and come again for them. They give a melon, a couple of times chopped apples and once a watermelon. Water in the dining room can be poured into bottles and taken with you. There is an oddity, sometimes at lunch or dinner there was no tea and coffee, you had to go to the bar for them. The bar is very friendly bartender, always smiling and pouring to the brim. Those who want to get drunk can do it at the bar, there are no restrictions. It offers two types of rum, majito, two types of tequila, gin, brandy, aniseed vodka (like Turkish rake, it looks very similar), Finlandia vodka (of course this is a fake), but everything is drunk normally, all bottles open with you - they click. Fanta, Coca-Cola, Sprite, coffee with milk are also on the bar.

The only huge MINUS is not near the sea, they take it twice a day, after breakfast at 9.30 and after dinner, then after a couple of hours they bring it back. It takes about 5 minutes to drive. If you walk, then it can take 30-35 minutes. Farsha Beach is excellent, the only negative is the stairs, 148 steps, but on the other hand you can enjoy the view from a height and it’s not boring to go down and up, there are cafes with all sorts of antiques around the stairs from different sides. I heard that many people specifically want to get to this particular beach, since it is unique, you can immediately go in and swim from the shore, you can go to the pontoon pier, there is immediately a depth of 15-20 meters, or you can walk near the stones and watch the fish. Lots of fish and coral - beautiful. Fish swim close, curious, not afraid. Be sure to take a mask with you or buy it - it will be a completely different experience. There is a swim where it is deep, you can sometimes see stingrays. There are beaches much closer to the hotel, but there is a fee, $ 3 per person.
A taxi costs $1 to anywhere in this area of ​ ​ Hadaba, even if you want to go to the old town, then stand your ground, it's only a dollar. Even if he refuses, the other will agree. Taxi drivers impose themselves and constantly honk, which is annoying. The Egyptians are even more clingy than the Turks. They may ask you to go to him just to leave a review about him. In fact, he does not need any feedback, he begins to impose his product. Many Egyptian sellers said that they do not like Ukrainians because they behave impudently. We are Belarusians, we were treated normally.
There is a beautiful mosque in the old city, prices in the market can be even higher than in a place near you.
I recommend going for a walk to another area of ​ ​ Naama Bay, where everything is more lively and interesting. If by minibus, then approximately one dollar for two, if by taxi, then from 2 dollars
and higher.
When you leave, they can check the suitcases at the reception, as they wish. They give a lunch box and 200 mm of juice with them. Juice will be picked up at the airport, so drink before you go through security or put it in your luggage, not in hand luggage. They check very thoroughly, for the first time I encountered such a thing that they even forced us to take off our shoes and in two places we went through scanners and things too.
Attention. According to Egyptian laws, it is impossible to export pebbles, shells, corals. If they find you, and they most likely will find, if you take it, then there will be huge problems.

In general, for the money, as a rule, not expensive - a very decent hotel for a triple. I heard a couple of dissatisfied people, so they are always dissatisfied with everything in general, they are in the top five, and even then, I think they will not be happy there either. We talked with several different people, so they go to this hotel every year, and in different months. They say that it is in this hotel and on this beach that you can go to relax and swim all year round.
Have a good rest everyone.
