Were there for New Year 2018. We were lucky with the weather, as the warm sun and daytime temperature +26 allowed us to spend time on the beach sunbathing and admiring corals and fish. We arrived at about 17 in the evening, settled quickly, the room was on the territory of Fayrouz - around the pool, for a room with a sea view at the reception they offered to pay 42 USD. e. . We refused because our cheerful company does not need it. The room was a standard large one with a balcony, if you don't particularly care then moderately clean. Cleaning daily, change of towels, bottle of water, etc. The biggest plus of the hotel is its huge territory and of course the wonderful reef. Groups from other diving hotels are brought to this reef daily on boats for 30 c. u. e. and you have it all without limitation and each dive is new species of beautiful fish from coral to tuna, moray eels, etc. Mask and snorkel, and if you want to wander along the rocky shore, aquashoes are a must, but you can buy them on the territory or in the city. Everything else in the hotel, given the country's crisis, is satisfactory. . The food is monotonous but you will not be hungry, in the morning scrambled eggs porridge rice potatoes fresh vegetables and stewed buns sweets cheese and Egyptian sausages. Lunch is added to fish soups. Dinner chicken is sometimes grilled kobaski or beef. In general, everything is the same. But this does not apply to the New Year's dinner with crabs, shrimp, tuna, red fish, seafood, etc. It seemed that everyone was specially fed sparingly to set a good New Year's table. Service and animation for 3+. Bars are available up to 24 local spirits or whiskey vodka, for lovers of beer it is almost always not disappointing and the norm of 100 ml is all poured into disposable plastic. Representatives of the tour operator are not very informative, the prices for tours are too high; those who used their services in Israel are not very happy. A free trip was offered with trips to shops where prices are several times higher than in the market in the old town, where you can easily get there by car for 4-5 cu. e. by taxi or order a minibus 2 y. e. you will have approximately 3 hours there and back. In general, we were the first time and had a good rest, we had a wonderful company, a cheerful mood, we changed the situation, we saw a reef and the fish got tanned.
