We returned yesterday.
Pros:
1. Furniture - normal. The beds are just super - my boyfriend and I are tall, but even for us the bed was long enough, wide and comfortable
2. Nutrition - quite varied. In general, I don’t really like local cuisine, but nevertheless, even I sometimes managed to overeat))) I would like to note that every evening in the restaurant was themed. That is, every dinner is the cuisine of a new country: today Egyptian, tomorrow Japanese, the day after tomorrow Mexican, and so on. The uniform of the staff corresponds to the theme set for this evening. A big plus is a live station, also themed. For example, on the evening of Japanese cuisine, rolls were made there)))
3. The beach is small, but there was always enough space for everyone.
4. Staff - kind of adequate (as far as Arabs can be. Although there was a not very pleasant story on the last night:

at five o'clock in the morning I woke up from the fact that someone was knocking on the next room and repeating: "Natasha! ", knock again, again: "Natasha. " And so for 10-15 minutes. At first I thought that I was beginning to understand why Russian tourists are so disliked in the world. "Tagil went over some thread, now his wife or girlfriend won't let him into the room, " I thought. What was my surprise when my MCH, upon returning, said that under the door was not a drunken Russian, but an Arab waiter. ))) Of course, I did not keep this information in myself and when I checked out of the hotel the next day reception about this incident. To which the receptionist, in a tone full of resentment and indignation, asked me the following question: “Why do you say with such confidence that it was a waiter? It could have been a guest in a shirt, like a waiter !!!
Of course, because EXACTLY the same shirts as the waiter's uniform are sold at every step, EVERYONE wears them)))
5. The contingent - there are very few Russians. Almost all families or couples. Quiet, calm.
Minuses:
1. The hookah in the hookah lounge in the hotel is really terrible. Tobacco is the cheapest. There is a certain assortment, however, no matter how hard I tried, I could not feel the difference between an apple and a cappuccino))))
Worth 3$. In Naama Bay you can buy for $1
2. A little advice: exchange dollars for local tugriks. Then paying in a cafe, buying souvenirs will be cheaper than paying in dollars. One dollar costs 6 tugriks, however, when we paid for, for example, a hookah in Egyptian money, which costs 15 units in Egyptian money, in dollars, it was gently rounded up to $ 3 . . and so on in everything. )))
3. Audibility - amazing!! ! The walls seem to be made of cardboard.
