Отдохнули великолепно, даже несмотря на карантин We had a great rest, even despite the quarantine

Once again I want to express my gratitude and gratitude to the Continental Plaza Beach & Aqua Park Resort, it just so happened that schools were quarantined due to the coronavirus, we suddenly decided to isolate ourselves in Egypt! It was a very smart price, it was a sin not to take advantage of the situation! Well, quite a ball. $180 per person for 7 days! With a flight. How much does the tour operator pay the hotel? $15 a day? For this money we must be very grateful to the hotel. Despite the horror stories about border closures, we still flew and did not regret a bit! Yes, we flew in masks, yes, we had our temperature taken upon arrival. But this is Egypt! And let the whole pandemic wait! This time we flew via Anex Tour. Special thanks to. Carrier "Azur" is excellent. The plane is large, three-row, comfortable. Without delay.

Right at the reception we were greeted "like relatives".

Apparently, our names are in the database, and we also brought a company with us, so we were accommodated without any additional payments in superior rooms in one wing, in the central building, overlooking the sea.

I want to express my gratitude to the hotel administration, all the staff, until the closing of the hotel on March 22, all the staff did their job well. On our arrival, on March 15, there were few people in the hotel, well, maybe 150 people. Every day, tourists left a little, and new ones did not come, but ALL the staff were in their places, from cleaners and gardeners to the chef, to the main administrator of the hotel . Until March 22, and we were the penultimate ones, there were 8 people left in the hotel.

Everything was as always.
A lot of food, quite tasty cooked compared to neighboring hotels (from the experience of the 6th time in Egypt, the set of products for all hotels is the same), all bars worked, animators worked, towels were given out as always, the diving center worked, beach rangers, everyone was in their places, very attentive to the guests. Thank them very much.

Separate admiration for the sea. It is worth going to this area of ​ ​ Sharma and to this hotel because of the sea. Those who are in love with the underwater world will appreciate it. Along the entire reef you can see different beauties, I swam to neighboring hotels, both on the right and on the left. Delight. But for such trips, fins are needed. The first time I didn't have fins, we rented them from a diving center for $2 a day. Due to the small number of people, special specimens sailed to the shore. And flocks of sardines, and stingrays, and a giant parrot fish, and manta rays! Huge black manta ray! And barracudas.
And a huge Napoleon fish that lives in these reefs and loves the company of tourists very much. Its godlike!


Despite the nervousness of relatives from our homeland, we had a great rest, even despite the quarantine. Returned without problems at the right time without delay. Thanks again Anex Tour. Upon arrival, the guide immediately said that he did not offer excursions, quarantine. They picked us up with no problems, on time. So this time the rest is wonderful, thanks again to the hotel! Look forward to seeing us next year in March!

Remarochka. Since March, this hotel, as it is located in a bay and protected by mountains, has had very comfortable weather. No currents, no winds, sea 22 degrees, air 28.

Spoiler. I was in a nearby hotel on the left in January, also a claim to a 5 star, but much worse service. But the air temperature is 24, the water is 21. So in this part of Sharma (Pasha Bay) it is good all year round.
