We went together with my husband, a young couple, chose a hotel near Naama Bay and not expensive. This hotel can be called a budget 5 *. For families and holidays with children. They were satisfied with the rest, because self-sufficient and positive people found new friends, got tanned and surfed. Temperature during the day +27, in the evening +19. Water + 24 (very warm). The wind is cool. It is necessary to take windbreakers or leather jackets with you, then it will be comfortable.

Host of Coral travel. We flew in perfectly, it took 15 minutes to get to the hotel, we immediately settled in the "Russian Village" (I have never heard this name from the staff, but vacationers call it that among themselves) overlooking the entrance to the hotel. For $ 20 they changed the room, the distance from the main building didn’t really bother us, we would have the very first entrance.

What they write about the fact that they are constantly bred for money is true. Now there is not a season, there are few tourists. . the hotel is 40-50% full, and they always want to earn money. ))
Room: Room lived up to expectations, clean and nice. Of course, all the furniture is already scratched, dirty, beaten in places. Large bed, TV, spacious bath, there were no problems with hot water, towels were changed if we threw them on the floor, the bed was changed once, the floor was washed once upon request. Tipping was left 2 times. There were ants, they left an open jar of fanta for the night, in the morning guests were waiting for us) they asked us to poison them and we didn’t see them in such numbers, and of course we put everything in the refrigerator.

Territory: not very large, we easily walked around it, but very nice, white houses. . flowers, palm trees.

Beach and sea, swimming pools: The beach is located behind the main building, it is convenient to go there. There is an entrance from the shore and from the pontoon. The entrance from the shore to the high tide (somewhere before 15:00) is almost waist-deep sand, then corals begin. It was my first time snorkeling and I was delighted! ! ! the first two days came from the shore. .
there are a lot of fish even from the very edge, who is afraid of sharks or the depth will be very happy. It was possible to swim from the pontoon only with an instructor at certain hours, I swam 2 times, I saw enough beauty, it was breathtaking. We saw a huge moray eel and a small stingray) They were afraid of sharks, everyone on the beach is talking about it, the last attack was just not far away. But people swim without an instructor and far from the beach, who are brave or experienced)) There are two towers on the beach, observers always sat and even whistled. . if someone swam far away. ) One pool is heated (the temperature is like the sea), right next to the beach (it's very convenient). There was always low tide in the afternoon, so I swam in the pool.


Restaurants and bars: You can't call it restaurants, ordinary canteens, when we first moved in, there were 2 restaurants, but then one was closed and queues appeared at the entrance. The food is normal, delicious pasta, breakfasts and of course pastries.
You can order one dinner for the whole stay in the "restaurant" by the pool, we ordered a fish menu, we froze. . ate the same food as on the buffet) they say the Italian menu is tastier. . )
Of course, drinks are not very good, it is better to buy alcohol in duty free, rum-cola and whiskey-cola drink most, normal beer, apple juice from a cooler is bad.
On the second day, after breakfast, my husband had an upset, because of which they could not determine, they sinned on fresh. It is necessary to bart necessarily with itself tablets from disorders.

Staff: obsessively smiling, for a few $ they will clean your table, carry drinks and smile more carefully : )

Entertainment: There is no disco in the hotel. On the beach, the animators were playing volleyball, darts, water aerobics, dancing. Evenings in the lobby, on the terrace, children danced, then they turned on music for adults who wanted to could dance. There are few vacationers and especially no one wanted to have fun.
Animators begged to participate. Once they held the Miss Continental contest, "there was her Fire show. The hotel has water slides, the water is heated there, there are few rugs, but many rode anyway - it was fun.

Coral travel: there are no special complaints about the company, they flew with Ural Airlines, the plane was good and the staff really liked it. I was upset by the delay of 4 hours when we flew back and the fact that there is no Internet at the airport. There were complaints about the guide Mukhamed, not sociable, conflicting, disrespectful and even contemptuous of tourists, perhaps this is a character trait or just youth and ambition. He didn't seem to care much for his work.

Our recommendations:
Above all, be positive, treat everyone with respect and smile. )
If you need internet for work or personal, then this is not your hotel. There is wi-fi, but it turns out to be very expensive, it is better to overpay right away and buy a hotel with a free Internet.

We advise you to visit the restaurant in Old Markete, Fares. Very high quality fish cuisine, for little money. I also liked the American pub on the Naama Bay embankment, I don’t remember the name, it seems to be opposite the Hilton. Unobtrusive staff, free Internet, Arab, Chris Rea sings live, well, inexpensive local beer)
We didn’t go to local clubs, we have enough of them in Moscow, where it’s more like a disco. )
If you need something from the staff, ask several times, they don’t understand the first time) and if your request was fulfilled very quickly, of course, your right to thank $)
The photos provided in the presentations on the sites are completely true, I brought the same ones myself)

I wish you all a great holiday, we create our mood for ourselves! )
