Despite the fact that we were dissuaded from going in the summer, we nevertheless decided and did not regret it. It was +37, but the temperature is not felt near the water, and there are powerful air conditioners in the rooms and in the buses. But the sea is of indescribable beauty. Water temperature +27+30.

We arrived at the hotel at 21.30 (by bus from the airport 15 minutes). Settled in 10 minutes (paid extra for a view of the pool and the sea $ 30). The luggage was already in the room.

The hotel is very picturesque, the staff is always sweeping something, planting. On the territory there is a swimming pool, an artificial lake, a lobby bar, two bars - near the pool and on the beach (and everywhere they feed for free, if everything is included), there are paid restaurants (but we didn’t get there due to lack of hunger), playground. The complex includes three hotels: “Sea life”, “Sea Club”, “Sea Garden”. You can use the beaches, pools and main restaurants at your discretion.


The room is small, but we only slept in it (the air conditioner worked properly).
The room is cleaned, bed linen and towels are changed every day (you need to read the instructions on the bathroom mirror so that the change of towels is at your request). Left on the bed a dollar for the cleaner. So he brought us bathrobes, which was very convenient. There are 3 Russian channels and music. Hairdryer in the bathroom (stationary). Some Italians expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that there is no shower cabin (there is a shower).

Main restaurant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were held for 3 hours, which is very convenient. If you don’t like to have breakfast at 7, then you can pull yourself up to 10. I really liked the fact that if you came together, you sat down at a table for two and no champing old man would sit next to you. The food is normal. You should pay attention to sweets - this is something - try to choose from 10-15 varieties of cakes and cakes. I can’t say that there was no meat or side dish, but we limited ourselves to dishes that were close to our stomach.
Take ftalazol or levamycetin with you (take a more serious first-aid kit with you, we took from hydrogen peroxide to inhalipt). Local drinks are also included (this was enough, they took fresh, but it is very thick). It is not clear why a watermelon is 2 euros for a discount?


Sea. There is a reef near the hotel, so if you like to swim in the sea, then you are not here. You can normally swim only from a pontoon, but the depth is amazing - 25 meters. When we went into the sea and saw that everywhere the maximum was only waist-deep, we were very upset (be sure to buy swimming slippers, we asked for a guide and he brought it from the city for 6 bucks). Then we looked closely that people were not standing there, but only their fifth points were visible, bought a mask and realized how beautiful the Red Sea is. Surprisingly bright and colorful fish, there are also sea urchins (they are poisonous, for this you need slippers). Therefore, we are on the sea before lunch - after lunch by the pool.
Animation - if you are an active person, then you will like everything, my advice, take part in water aerobics, body tonic, stretch, dancing. No one is pulled by force. The contingent is mostly foreigners, so it was quiet and calm (although they have enough fools).

If there is a desire to visit the city, then a free bus runs twice a day at 9.30 and at 16.00. At other times you have to pay. There is a lot to buy in the city, a lot of souvenirs and gold for $6.5 per gram. Bargaining is a must (I bought a tunic for $5, although the starting price was $17). Do not forget that you need to bring down the price gradually, if immediately, they say “why is Madame so greedy? and the auction is stopped.

Yes, and at the expense of the rudeness of the staff - this is very exaggerated. Do not forget that the Arabs are a very proud people, even if they are service personnel. If you take their jokes not as an insult, then you can find new friends.
I will gladly answer all questions. Have a nice holiday.
