1. General impression.
We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel!
I really liked the hotel. Beautiful, atmospheric, interestingly zoned, well-groomed.
We settled for a long time (4 hours). But formally there is nothing to complain about - initially we were supposed to have a check-in just for settling in (after 14:00), but then the departure (charter) was moved to a late night. Accordingly, we arrived at the hotel at 6 or 7 in the morning ...and patiently waited for check-in (there was no desire to speed up the issue with scandals or money).
The room was given a good, "central" (basic, lobby, bars, restaurants, beach - everything is close).
The number is fine. Normal high-quality number of a good "five".
I have no complaints about food/service. Yes, the food is better in Turkish fives, but I didn’t come here to overeat, but ...
... behind a clear transparent sea.
Because I swim in a sporty way (with glasses, head in the water) and I am very picky about the transparency of the water.
Swimming in mud from suspended clay (as in Moscow reservoirs) or in jellyfish jelly (as in Sochi) doesn't make me smile at all.
So, the sea is just a "bomb".
When I dived from the pontoon (150 m) on the first day, my brain could not believe my eyes. It felt like diving into a Disney cartoon about the fish Nemo or the Mermaid - the purest, most transparent turquoise water, colorful corals and myriads of colorful fish around me.
The coral reef near the hotel is very cool and beautiful. Especially if you sail not to the permitted (by buoys) zone to the left of the pontoon, but to the right.
We took a boat trip on Pirate Boat 1 to Ras Mohammed...basically just to make sure both snorkel stops had worse reefs (I'd say "just none" compared to this hotel's reef).
Downstream at the pontoon - in principle, everything is fine.
By default, it goes from left to right (that is, south) and is not strong (sometimes it is not there at all or it is not noticeable).
Therefore, if you swim to the zone allowed by the buoys to the left, then back - just in the course of a leisurely corpse (joke) will convey to the pontoon.
But one day the current changed direction and very noticeably carried away to the left of the pontoon beyond the buoys. So poor swimmers (girls) or swimmers without fins had to decently flounder in order to return to the pontoon.
2. Nuances, cons, suggestions.
1) By number:
The main disadvantage, and this is not only the trouble of our room and not only this hotel, but quite a frequent occurrence - VERY noisy air conditioning. Even on low it is very noisy. Therefore, the only way out that I found was to put it on automatic mode so that it would make noise at least not constantly, but at some intervals. Because for people who do not fall asleep well and sleep lightly (like me) - this is a problem ...
Water. Periodically, boiling water came out of the faucet / shower, no matter how you twist the knobs.
As I understand it, this is because there is no centralized water supply, and the hotel's boiler system, apparently, did not always regulate the water temperature correctly.
In the room (in fact, in the summer, in the heat) two bathrobes hang. Why are they? It would be much better if there were two pairs of cotton slippers instead. Because walking in the heat with bare/wet feet on cold tiles is not very comfortable.
2) By hotel:
The administration needs to pay attention to the condition of the pools. They are shabby in places. Somewhere the tile has fallen off, somewhere there is rubbish at the bottom, which no one seems to clean up or does not clean up as often as the hotel guests would like.
I liked the pool in the Adult Only zone the most. It is large, the least worn, there were almost never people around it.
The shower/foot wash columns are located in an incomprehensible way.
From the beach from the sea there are two main passages to the main building - and it would be logical to place columns near these passages, where people could wash the sand off their feet. But instead, the speakers are located somewhere in the sides.
As a result, either I had to carry the sand on my feet to the hotel room or make a small detour to reach the column.
Air conditioners in the Piano Bar beat from the heart. Therefore, it is constantly severely cold there and there has never been a desire to sit there.
The administration tortured its employees with a stick / recall system. As a result, animators and waiters are forced to constantly pester guests with a request to leave a review or fill out a questionnaire with ratings, and all this several times during the rest. Or, for example, before each game of darts, they took a general photo of the participants for a report to the administration.
Hello! I came to rest! Instead of filling out your questionnaires and participating in your reporting indicators!
Well, a little about Egyptian slovenliness ...
At the entrance to the main restaurant, a girl constantly stood and measured the temperature of the incoming people. Well done. Good.
Only now a little to the left - there were TWO MORE ENTRANCES to the restaurant! )))))))) Through which you could safely enter without this procedure. Brilliant! ))))))
3) By sea:
Despite my enthusiastic review of the sea, it also has nuances:
1) very often it becomes cloudy. Moreover, it is completely unpredictable (I did not find patterns). Once dived - transparent, after an hour dived - muddy turbidity. Yes, the water is still clearer than anywhere else, but swimming and watching the reef is not so pleasant and interesting.
2) fairy tales about a half-kilometer sandy beach are good, but in fact the extreme 1/3 of the beach on the left and right are deserted. Because all the main life is seething in the central zone near the pontoon.
Comrades, if you need a smooth sandy entry into the water for normal swimming in the sea - this is not about this hotel!
To the left of the pontoon is generally a dead zone (not for swimming). To the right of the pontoon - INTO THE TIDES! you can go into the water up to your waist and flounder a little, but we are not talking about full-fledged swimming. Or you can lie on the sandbar a little further from the coast
(at low tides there is a paradise for children - a sandbox).
3) since, as I said, the most beautiful reef goes on the right side of the pontoon, the solution is very obvious - remove boats / boats from the pontoon, build a second pontoon 100-200 meters to the right of the main one, and this would be an excellent route for snorkeling guests - from one pontoon to another.
Or, at least, in the absence of a second pontoon, also remove boats / boats and make an additional area for navigation to the right of the pontoon. Because the existing permitted zone (to the left of the pontoon) is frankly not enough!
On this, perhaps, everything.
Thank you for your attention.
