We rest in Egypt every year, there is nowhere better than the sea))) To be honest, this was not expected from this country - the hotel is just super. He was recommended to us by a client, he lives in Egypt, he said that if he goes on vacation - only there. Indeed, he didn't cheat. The main advantage is that the hotel is small, only about 60 rooms, respectively - both service and varied food, etc. Very interesting architecture, the hotel is built around a natural rock in the form of a liner, the doors from the rooms overlook the rock, inside there are a lot of passages, carved paths , there is a big beautiful grotto. On the first day, we barely found our way to the restaurant, some hotel worker saw us off. Everything is stylized as a ship - stairs with ropes, there is an upper and lower "deck" where a restaurant and a cafe are located. The rooms are clean, cleaned and changed towels every day.

The service is very personal - a tip was left only once - when we left!!!

Just on the 1st day they noticed that no one leaves them! They have an interesting system - the waiters are not fixed at the tables, but must serve all visitors when they see that something is needed - bring drinks, change the ashtray, etc. So it’s even impossible to determine who to leave a tip-). The difference in service between Russians and Europeans is just beginning to be felt (probably because there are few Russians in the hotel). The main restaurant has a large outdoor area, right above the sea on the pier, so the experience is unforgettable, especially in the evening, when the sea is lit up everywhere along the coast.

What struck me the most (especially in Egypt) was the food, just super!! ! A constant change of dishes, for a week, in my opinion, even potatoes were not prepared in the same way, every day different soups, salads, sweets. We just ate!
A lot of fruits - except for the standard oranges, apples (very good), melons, watermelons, dates, ate too many figs, grapes, bananas. Fresh juices are prepared for breakfast (if all incl) - usually melon, goava and some other, I don’t remember. Plus, they constantly "feed" during the day in cafes - either fries with something, or sweets. But we were unable to eat that much. A beach for all tastes - there is a shallow lagoon with sand for children, a normal entrance to the sea. There are piers from where you can go down the stairs into the sea. From one pier you can climb the stairs, or you can jump, it’s immediately deep there, it’s also convenient to go down in flippers.

There is only one drawback - there are no corals, there is a dying coral reef, around which there are a lot of different fish. In the evening, sunbeds are cleaned on the piers and tables are set up, another cafe is open. The beach is free, always a lot of free sunbeds. At the beach bar, the bartender prepares cocktails (again, for all inclusive - free of charge).
The bar on the upper deck prepares delicious coffee and cappuccino. True, I warn fans of cheerful noisy rest - we practically did not hear animation. We only saw a girl who offered a massage, that's all. In general, I repeat, everything is super. Now we are going to Egypt, most likely - again to the Lido!
