I really liked the hotel. Located on the shores of the gentle and crystal clear Red Sea, it consists of two-story buildings. The territory is rather big and filled with many exotic flora, in the center and spreading closer to the sea, a pool more than a hundred meters long, near it there is a children's pool. There are fields for mini - football, volleyball, as well as a gym, tennis big and small.
The whole territory of the hotel is beautiful and unusual. As for the food, it is very varied and tasty, the only thing is that free juices did not impress me, they taste like yupi, but for $ 2 you can enjoy freshly squeezed juice, we were made from strawberries, guava or peach.
The hotel rooms are clean (cleaned every day, towels and bedding are changed), spacious but comfortable, with TV (from Russian channels-3), a free electronic safe, a hairdryer. Each room has a veranda.

I recommend everyone to settle on the second floor overlooking the sea, this can be solved at the reception and it cost me $ 30, after lowering the price from the duty officer from 75. Egypt is a country in which you can bargain everywhere, the Egyptians usually bend the initial price at 3, less often at 2 times higher. So feel free to say "ten" in response to the offered price of 75 and you will have many chances to negotiate for 30 currency units.
We ordered excursions in the city (the bus from the hotel can take you there 3 times a day and bring you free of charge). To the left of the USSR store, there is an excellent Ali Baba restaurant, ask Alex there, he speaks excellent Russian and has good prices for excursions. We went to Cairo with a visit to the pyramids, the national museum, a boat trip on the Nile. The guide costs $ 75, in the city 50, but for 6 people I agreed on 38 for each. visit the Ras Mohammed National Reserve on a yacht, where you can order scuba diving (it costs 45 dollars, I swam for 25 dollars) and in general for the Red Sea you need to have a mask, snorkel and flippers with you and you will get the opportunity to see its beautiful inhabitants who are not afraid of people, swim nearby. It is better to purchase inventory in Sharm el-Sheikh, 3 times cheaper than in Ukraine. In general, our vacation turned out to be great. I rate it 5. I recommend the Sea Club to everyone. Special thanks to Cortes manager Denis Morar for organizing the trip... »
