The hotel is perfect for lovers of a relaxing holiday and fans of snorkeling will not be disappointed. The territory is green and well-groomed, the rooms are large, pleasant and clean, the room has a safe, which is important. The special charm is that three hotels - Sea Club, Sea Life and Sea Garden have a common territory and infrastructure - that is, you can use the beaches, bars, pools and restaurants of all three hotels. What we actually did. Lunch and dinner went every day to different restaurants - it was interesting. The food is excellent, you won’t go hungry, on the contrary, there was a problem not to gain excess weight - after all, I wanted to try everything at least a little bit)))
I will not write about animation - it did not interest us, but I will say - it was, there were Russian animators, the program seemed to be rich with them.
We were interested in corals. I want to tell about them. The coastal strip is a shallow water to the waist, 150 meters, and then there is a cliff-coral wall, 20 meters deep. In shallow water there are fish, but the main beauty, of course, is if you snorkel along the coral wall. Fish not-me-rya-but! The strongest impression was when a meter-long Napoleon emerged from the blue, dispersed the fish, looked at me with an unkind squint (yes, the frost got through - the "baby" at that time was at a fairly pioneering distance, less than a meter) and decorously retired...

The biggest drawback is the very strong current. You can only swim from the pontoon to the right - against the current, and it often happened that you had enough strength to swim 20-30 meters, few people swam further - it is not easy to fight the current. It’s a pity that only on the last day I thought of the simplest thing - to enter the water opposite Sea Life (pontoon on the Sea Club beach, it is on the left edge of the general beach), go almost to the cliff, and then, having sailed over the obyvo to a depth, slowly drift to pontoon downstream. 300 meters of continuous pleasure and almost effortlessly))). I hope this information is useful to someone.
A few practical tips. Buses run from the hotel to Naama Bay and Old Town (Old Town). $6 per person round trip (return after 3 hours I think). We made it easier - we went out to the track and on any minibus we got anywhere for a dollar from the nose. Slippers "anti-coral", masks were bought in Naama Bay (the hotel is more expensive). Slippers were traded for 5 bucks, a mask with a snorkel - for 6. It is clear that they are made in China, but for beginner snorkelers it is quite suitable. Plastic fins could be bought for 8 dollars, better silicone fins - for 15. But you have to bargain, initially prices were 2-3 times higher for us.
