We arrived at the airport at about half past six in the morning. At first, it was not clear how to fill out the paperwork at customs and how and where to glue the visa. We figured it out, while the border guard almost stuck a second visa on one passport : -)
We got our luggage pretty quickly, got on the bus and went to the hotel. Ours turned out to be the last one, while they took everyone away, looked at the resort, listened to the guide's useful information (tez tour).
Upon arrival at the hotel at the reception, they said that they would be settled in "rooms" only after two in the afternoon, so we had breakfast, changed clothes, left things on the street at the reception "under protection" of local security guards (we were assured that nothing would be lost) and went to beach.

What I didn’t like on the beach later was that sunbeds in the SHADOW had to be borrowed from 6-7 in the morning, so by that time there was only a “place in the sun”. Despite the precautions, on the first day my wife and I had burnt shoulders, which somewhat overshadowed the rest of the rest.
In my opinion, the beach is beautiful. Its location is good. At this place, the line of hotels (beaches) almost ends and a beautiful, almost reserved place begins on the sea. Very beautiful underwater world, a huge variety of corals, fish and other living creatures. Swimming with a mask and fins is a pleasure. A little further away, glass-bottomed boats constantly ply from all over Naama Bay.
As it was already correctly written here, if without fins, then you must definitely swim in special slippers. You can buy them directly at the hotel in a shop for 10 bucks, or in a supermarket opposite for 8.
The bar is open on the beach from 10 to 18. You can take refreshments and alcoholic drinks. Local beer Sakara is so-so. I liked the Mai-Tai cocktail (it seems to be called that) - I recommend it. It quenches thirst well, there are no ingredients with gases like Coca-Cola. Contains some rum and juice. Just keep in mind, in one hand, let's say "that bir" will not be given.
The staff does not understand Russian well, so sometimes there are misunderstandings, but where did ours go?! ? We found a common language.
The hotel has a lot of Italians resting, a rather noisy audience. In my opinion, they are served better, they are accommodated in new buildings, I called it the "Italian Quarter". True, it is far from the beach and closer to the road, but there is peace and quiet in the evening.

We ate at the Citadel restaurant. Everything that I previously knew about local food was confirmed. With a fairly large variety of dishes, by the end of the holiday we settled on several items. Meat dishes are tasteless. I liked only Lyulya-kebab-type shish kebab. The fish was several times - like mackerel-for an amateur. In my opinion, Arabs do not know how to cook vegetable dishes, with the exception of two or three, they only translate products. For example, I love eggplant, but there they are somehow undercooked, undercooked, tasteless. The same goes for first courses. Soups ONLY TWO TYPES of burda type. In the morning only milk soup and something like pea. I didn't see the cash. But they cook delicious scrambled eggs right in front of you. There are a lot of all kinds of pastries and sweets, puddings, jelly, pastries. Very tasty bread. Although we did not lean on sweets, I gained 3 kg in 10 days. What I didn't like was that if you order "that red wine" from the waiter at the beginning of the dinner, you will get it in the best case in the middle of the meal. They had to be reminded and encouraged. I don't like to drink on a full stomach.
We didn't like the local booze. Some type of carbonated wine, with foam, they are probably waiting for it to settle. Local vodka is disgusting, whiskey is better, but we sometimes used French cognac from duty-free, so after tasting strong drinks, we didn’t order anymore.
From fruits daily apples, oranges, bananas, dates. One time unripe sour apricots. Looks like it's not in season yet.
Tried to have dinner at the exclusive restaurant "Casablanca". Long wait - tasteless - not recommended.
We liked the room - 214. Near the pool, the beach for 100-150 meters.
They did not give any money, only once they left 2 bucks for the cleaner.
The spacious room has two wide beds, the third!? ! single. Air conditioning, TV (2 Russian-language programs), exit to the terrace.
Of the minuses, there are ants and small nasty mosquitoes, so take your medications with you. Harsh beds and uncomfortable pillows, some puffy.
Cleaned thoroughly, linen changed regularly.
The hotel is clean and beautiful.
Did the Cleopatra massage. really expensive -70 bucks per person, but I recommend it. Inexpressible feelings : -)
There are many impressions, but I end here.
Overall, I liked the stay and the hotel. We had a great time.
I highly recommend to go for TWO days in Israel to the holy places. Super!!!
I would be glad if someone could help me decide.
