Чудо-отдых!!!!! Wonder vacation!!!!!

This was our first trip to Egypt, and, just as newcomers are lucky in a casino, we were really lucky from boarding the first Rostov-Moscow plane and returning home in the evening under the sunset of the warm Sun accompanying us from Egypt itself. At first, we were very worried about what kind of hotel we would get, what we would do if living conditions were terrible, a whole swarm of thoughts in a taxi, airport, plane, bus did not allow us to relax until the key was turned in the lock of our hotel room. Exhausted, at 10 pm we drove into the front arch of the Sea Group Hotel. Even in the dark and with the dim illumination of night garden lamps, one could see the manicured lawns, the flowering alleys of our hotel... the marble step... the entrance to the door... and in front of us was a marble hall flooded with light, tall columns, sofas, a long reception and a string of fussy pomaded, as is customary now to call, the receptionist in the same ties and vests the color of coffee with milk. We approached, filled out a questionnaire, everyone crowded around, looking for their names in the lists, we found ours, then some kind of pause, they gave us an envelope with all sorts of important things and the whole crowd of Russian tourists concerned about the fate of their vacation, we move down the stairs, then along the dark alleys of the hotel in groups we wander around our buildings... while waiting, I feel the warm African wind, the smell of flowers and cut grass... fatigue has already rolled up to my neck, but here we are walking along the corridor and stopping near our door with the inscription "2220"... Good number  it was the second sign for me , the first one was like this - I, as the heroine of Audrey Tautou, thought of "if we get on a plane, and it will be good, for example, a Boeing, then the rest will be good. "
Our room was exactly what a room on the sea and in Africa should be - tiles on the floor, all made of natural materials, wood, marble, cotton, pastel paints, discreet, marble table, marble countertop in the bathroom, wooden floor lamp, mirrors everywhere , a snow-white bed with a thick mattress, an aquarium window to the terrace to the floor, a light cream curtain, a small terrace, no roof in it, a window carved in the Arabic style with a crescent moon and . . Oh God! Through the lawn and the wind in the palm trees, we have before our eyes the splashing magnificent Red Sea at night))))) Indescribable delight! This day ended in a feeling of calmness and reverent thought “now we can jump out of our wheel and relax, our vacation has begun…”)))…
And note - we did not pay extra to anyone : -)

The morning came through the open window, along with the wind and the sun, and was not at all related to the morning that has been meeting us for 5 months in Russia. In a hurry, we changed into our rumpled clothes, hastily washed and went to breakfast. The restaurant was in the same building as the reception. We went inside, and in the hall we were met by a smiling Egyptian woman, in intricate, but quite clear Russian, congratulated us on Easter and escorted us to a free table. I realized that the concept of the interior was sustained from and to, because the table was set as it should be with glass and porcelain dishes, an ironed peach tablecloth and thick cotton napkins, and again wood and marble. A smiling waiter flew up to us and offered coffee with milk . . I looked around - waiters and cooks were scurrying everywhere; dishes amazed with their variety - fresh lettuce, vegetables, about 6 types of excellent quality cheeses, morning casseroles, omelettes that the chefs made right there and put them on your plate, several types of sweet pastries and crispy bread for every taste, hot delicious milk and cane sugar, chocolate-covered corn flakes for fastidious sleepy kids, sliced ​ ​ beef ham, and a lot of other stuff I can't remember. After breakfast, we sat on the terrace in bamboo-wicker chairs, basking in the sun, drinking a couple of alcoholic local cocktails. They turned out to be quite good. We went to the city, Old Market. Bought masks and fins. I didn’t like it in the city - annoying barkers in tunics vying with each other shouted “Bro... Hello... how are you... come and see. " All this reminded me of Hollywood action films where Asia is portrayed as narrow stalls of a large dusty and stuffy market and many gloomy gloomy places where something illegal is probably being sold . .
And then something happened that makes it worth returning to Egypt hundreds of times - we went into the sea and could not believe our eyes. Fish were already swimming under our feet, and there were so many of them, as if we were on the set of the “underwater odyssey of the Cousteau team” - they were yellow, blue, green, purple, square, triangular, almond-shaped, like chips, toothy, curious, pale , in flocks, loners; octopuses, terrifying sea urchins like sea nuclear bombs, fish pretending to be a piece of reef. An amazing sight, but of course, even more amazing was when we went to the end of the pontoon on the beach and dived there - I have never seen sea water of this color - indigo! And under water - the world that existed before me, exists independently of me and exists now when I write this, which is amazing and completely difficult to comprehend... Under the blue-blue water, a reef descending into the depths, schools of fish, tiny and red, like scurrying lights along it, big fat fish of wild lush colors living here every day, they are both in the water column and in the pits of corals, and sway with the current synchronously in a flock... and all this could be touched and all this happened in real time before our eyes and separated from this other, “fishy” civilization, only with a thin wall of plexiglass of our masks... our bustling city life for a moment seemed meaningless and ridiculous...
Returning to our petty life, I want to note that we were pleased with the level of service and its promptness, the quality of drinks, food, evening dinners, room cleaning, everything up to the soft mattresses under the sunbed on the beach was at its best. For the entire period of our holiday, no one deceived us, no one cheated in the restaurant, no one insulted or offended us. On the beach, we constantly left money under the towel, the key and could go away for a long time, but returned and everything was the same. and everything else.
We strongly recommend visiting the Sea Club Resort to all those who travel from Russia with a positive attitude and want to relax on another continent, and not later grumble about how boring the animation was or how badly the food was and how rarely they gave alcohol in the bar.

In view of the fact that there are a lot of reviews written about this hotel, and if you are going to go here, you will probably try to read them all, then in order to see the whole picture, I don’t go deep into the technical aspects of the rest and will be happy to answer all your questions separately. The purpose of my review was to convey the atmosphere and energy from the rest in this hotel this season, I hope that I succeeded.
