Египет Egypt

Good afternoon.
We rested in Sharm El Sheikh from 09/15/2011 to 09/22/2011 at the NUBIAN ISLAND hotel number 902. We arrived from the airport to the hotel at about 10 am. Officially settled from 14 o'clock, but for $ 20 settled immediately. Breakfast at the hotel from 7 to 10.30, so we also had breakfast. They put us in a bungalow. A very good room, consisting of one large (20 meters) room with a large double bed, a small corridor and a large bath with shower.
Bath and toilet in the same room. The furniture in the room is not new, but solid and makes a good impression. The room has air conditioning, TV with 2 or 3 Russian channels. We were very worried about food and drinks. I must confess, but the reality exceeded our expectations. For breakfast, they give 4-5 kinds of yoghurt, cheeses, sausages, frankfurters, fried scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs. There are vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, salads. Fruits - apples, pears, bananas, dates. A lot of sweets - various buns, kurosans, honey, jam. For lunch, 2-3 types of soups, 2-3 types of rice, salads, cucumbers, tomatoes, 2-3 types of potatoes, spaghetti, cheeses, fish, a variety of meats, fruits. I am also glad that no matter what time you come for breakfast, lunch or dinner, there are always empty seats in the restaurant, there are dishes, and there are no problems with anything. The best dishes are prepared for dinner. Fried fish, squid, octopus, crabs, sushi, cheeses, salads, vegetables, fruits (grapes, dates, watermelons are added to the fruits listed above) and of course 3-4 varieties of meat. Steaks, turkey, chicken. . In general, very good. The wait staff is polite, they ask what we will drink and carry it to the tables. We drank red, white wine, beer, cola. Out of 7 days, 2 times for dinner we had a barbecue. After dinner we went up to the lobby bar and drank wine. The bar is free until 24:00. The bar has excellent coffee - cappuccino, espresso. There are various alcoholic, non-alcoholic cocktails, wines, spirits. The staff are friendly and serve drinks to tables. If you wish, you can go for drinks and yourself.

The territory of the hotel is green. Lots of beautiful trees. Everything is tastefully done. It is felt that the owner is Italian.
Liked the beach too. There are no problems with sunbeds, towels. Pontoon - 150 meters. Entry from the pontoon directly into the sea. There are a lot of various fish, so swimming along the corals is interesting. Corals are common. Mostly dead, but some are alive. This does not greatly affect the diversity of fish and the impression of what they see.
Excursions are best taken in the city. To the old city by taxi, we paid $ 10 one way. Probably can be negotiated and cheaper. In the hotel, all excursions are 20 percent more expensive. If you bought a tour in the city - no problem. A bus arrives at the reception and takes you on an excursion, and then brings you back to the reception. I will quote prices for excursions. Be sure to go to the Ras Mohammed reserve. Really beautiful. Lots of variety of live corals. But I did not see a variety of fish there. If diving, it is also better in Ras Mohammed. I didn't like traveling on a 4-deck yacht. Expensive - $90 and nothing special. I do not recommend.
It makes no sense to give $ 1 for cleaning the room. It is better to give the staff at the bar, or at the restaurant, who delivers drinks. Figures were not molded from towels. Not only that - you have to be careful with the cleaners. Money, valuables must be put in a safe. It is in every room. If you do not know how to use - you can ask and be sure to learn. We had an open bottle of martini in the fridge, so half of it was drunk by the cleaners. Even during the eviction, they wanted to breed. In the plastic shower stall, there was an old small crack on the side wall. The cleaner, to whom we always left $1, took great pleasure in showing this crack to the hotel manager, trying to get money. In general, of all the proletarians, the most vile are the cleaners. True, they managed to prove their case, but this did not add health. When you check in, carefully look at the room and if something is broken, torn... be sure to contact the manager at the reception.

And, in general, the impression of the hotel is excellent. A lot of Italians have a rest. There are Germans, Swiss and a lot of our brother. I put the hotel NUBIAN ISLAND- 9. Have a nice holiday.
