Rested in this hotel 23.10-31.10. 08г. In general, the rest can be rated at "4", if you do not find fault with the conditions. Now in order: we arrived at the airport on time, the visa costs $ 15, things and check-in were quick (no problems). Arrived at the hotel at 11-30. Check-in at the hotel starts at 12:00. , but we were not made to wait: immediately issued and given a room (unlike other hotels, where people sit for 2-3 hours waiting). Room with pool view at no extra charge. In this hotel all rooms face either the sea or the pools. The room had a safe, telephone, refrigerator with 2 bottles of plain water (which no one needs, because food can not be taken out of the restaurant, there are managers at the exit and are not allowed to take food), LCD TV with 3 Russian channels (Nothing to watch!
), powerful air conditioning (we almost did not include it), the promised hair dryer is not (two holes in the wall), a lot of large mirrors, a couple of beds, wardrobe, table with 2 chairs, carpet, plastic table with 2 chairs on the balcony . Toilet + shower together (give toilet soap, shower gel, shampoo, waterproof shower cap, a set of threads with a needle, lots of towels, toilet paper). You can live, but the beds are hard! Bed linen and towels are changed daily. If drinking water ends up in the room, you change empty bottles for full ones in the restaurant, bar. Now about the food. A lot of food at first sight, especially pastries! Bread - just lick your fingers! Puree soups - two types: potatoes and potatoes + vegetables. In the morning you can eat milk soup with vermicelli. Potatoes, pasta, meat and fish dishes in variety. Local specific salads - we picked up a set of chopped vegetables (cabbage, cucumber, tomato, carrot) and drizzled with sauces.
For breakfast they make omelets to your taste, whatever you order to put in it, it will be (cheese, tomato, bell pepper, onion). You can just order fried eggs. Make small lean pancakes (you can pour hot chocolate, honey, sugar, etc. ). Lots of different vegetable stews. Very tasty chicken and deep-fried fish for dinner-fried right next to you. Delicious beef stew. The fruits were rarely very green melons, sometimes grapes withered, oranges every day, guava sometimes, watermelons were never given. You will not be hungry! Husband recovered by 1.5 kg in 9 days! Drinks (cola, fanta, sprite) and "juices" (karkade, mango, guava) in unlimited quantities in the restaurant and bar. There is no ice cream, although they promised! My child ate it for free once in a Chinese restaurant. Food in the bar near the pool and on the beach - coffee, tea, spirits, "juices", cola, fanta, sprite, there are sandwiches (bun with cucumber or sausage).
By the way, it is impossible to eat sausages and sausage! Very tasty cheese of 2 types for breakfast. There are even 3 types of muesli with milk for breakfast. Sweet pastries by the pool have never been, although they write that they give! Now about the most important thing - about the sea - it is not there, although the first line. Rather, it is there, if you walk on the water from the shore 800-1000m at the ankle (there is no pontoon, but it also will not save, a very long distance! ), Then a sharp depth with sea urchins at the bottom, so 1 km from the shore lie down on the water and swim carefully without touching the corals and hedgehogs). We went to the "wild" beach (or rather it is the beach of the new future hotel, entrance $ 3 per person (children under 10 free)). There are mushrooms on that beach, a couple of Arabs are sitting with a refrigerator with drinks and ice cream. There are garbage cans; Arabs clean the beach. The most important fish on this beach is just super, from the smallest to 1 m long, all colorful and beautiful. It is impossible to feed according to the law of the country!
But people are feeding, she saw how they gave bananas and rolls to fish under water, they are very voracious, they swim in huge shoals. I do not recommend touching them, 3 people bit me when they were feeding and did not remove their fingers in time. It is better to just watch them. To see the beautiful corals, it is better to go on a yacht to the sea - a tour to Ras Muhammad or Tirana. The company "TezTour" does not give full advice about the tour, it's a big "-". The trip takes a whole day. On the yacht they feed lunch and fruit. It is necessary to take money for all trips up to $ 100 in small bills, because there are many additional services (video and photo-shooting on and under water, various boats for rent, souvenirs with your photos inside), at the end of the trip on yachts accepted to give tips (tips) for the captain and sailors in the amount of $ 1 per person. If you take a diving trip, underwater photography costs $ 10 with your camera.
If you take flippers, a mask for rent - $ 5 each. Video recording of your entire trip on a montage yacht costs $ 27, the album costs $ 22 (two large photos on the background of Egypt + a porcelain plate with your photo inside. The staff is very friendly, everyone smiles. We are never rude. The rooms are cleaned well if Leave tips, you will receive a lot of extra towels, soap, shower gel and shampoo as a gift! We had one problem in the room with the light - the light bulb in the hallway burned out. We said this twice at the reception, but no one came. although we didn't need it! The phone is even in the toilet!?!
By the way, only warm and hot water flows in the taps. It is strictly forbidden to drink tap water. We even took water to rinse our teeth in the bar drinking in bottles. The hotel has two gorgeous pools and a children's frog pond. One deep-water pool with depth differences with islands (there are sunbeds) and small waterfalls. The water is very clean, there were enough sunbeds, towels were changed every day. There are two water slides not very high. My child skated (7 years). In the pools it is allowed to swim from 9-00 to 17-00, because it gets dark very early. There at 17-00h. there is complete darkness, even the moon is nowhere to be seen, lanterns are burning around, the pool lights are on. It gets cool in the evening, so you should dress warmer for dinner (if you don't drink hot drinks! ). Well, now about the animation. Well done girls! Hello big Veronica, Inna, Lena, Dasha, Ira, Nelle - the girls are trying very hard! Entertain from morning until evening.
A cool DJ from Italy who doesn't speak Russian is bad at English. The girls spend oriental dances, morning gymnastics, aqua aerobics, yoga, beach games (football, volleyball, "bocha" - a local game), are engaged in children (there is a small children's club). My husband and I went to the city a couple of times, and the child was left in their care without any problems! The girls-animators speak Russian, English and Italian. Before our departure, 2 more animators arrived from Italy (a very cool guy Enrique! ). In the evening, there are children's discos with club dances on the terrace near the main building, where there are tables with chairs. My daughter danced every day with pleasure, I even had to buy a CD with a children's disco from the DJ (we continue to dance club dances at home! ). Somewhere around 22-00h. adult entertainment begins: various games, competitions, shows (come! ), club dances.
Twice a week the animators take you to the disco by bus (23-20h to 2-45h) for free at NaamaBy! It is a very big problem to agree with transport drivers - there is simply no such insolence anywhere. We went to the Old Town to the center "Old Market" by minibus (which is very sorry! ) -The bargain was with the driver from $ 10 per person to $ 1 - more than an hour, although a taxi can be reached in 30 minutes. An official taxi can be taken for $ 8-10. When we went back we took a taxi without "checkers" on the roof. Bargained for $ 10, when we drove 300m, the driver said that $ 20 (we agreed, because our child stayed at the hotel, and it was getting dark). When we were brought to the hotel, the driver wanted a tip, and showed a police ID! The husband gave him another 5 pounds (local money). Our indignation knew no bounds! ! ! ! ! Only ordinary working people of Egypt ride minibuses! ! ! ! ! Don't sit in them at all! Take a taxi with "checkers" negotiate until you get in a taxi, squeeze the money only without surrender! ! ! !!
We had a case: tourists also went to the Old Town agreed with the taxi driver on the price, sat down the driver in the end refused to give a big surrender, it got into a fight. In such cases, we were warned to scare the police, then the taxi drivers calm down! Especially in the minibus. Don't worry about taxis in the car, don't pay attention to them! There are shops on site, everything is very expensive. It is better to leave the hotel, go across the road to the supermarket. It is better to drive 2-3 minutes. by taxi for $ 1 to the store "Metro" - all prices are written and recorded! Near the left of the "Metro" there is a very good children's store, I recommend. Across the street is the La Strada shopping center. There's a good jewelry store (the seller's name is Isaac), sports shops. You can buy things at a discount. Surprisingly, many Arabs speak a little Russian. The senior staff of the hotel is fluent in Russian.
Representatives of "TezTura" in Egypt also speak good Russian. Greetings to our representative at Hotel Badri! He speaks very good Russian, very courteous and attentive. When our child fell ill, we were not provided with insurance (because it is not provided), he personally gave his car and the second representative of the Hussein Hotel, who speaks Russian, her husband went with him to the bank, changed money, drove to pharmacy. Hussein explained in the apothecary in Arabic, agreed on everything. We were given the medicines we needed (for money). In two days the child passed everything! (I want to pay attention - try to take medicines from home, in Egypt they are very expensive! If you have special problems, take with you drugs that will help you. Many thanks to Badri and Hussein!
In conclusion, I want to write: if you need a quiet family vacation with sea air by the pool, a small hotel area, without loud music, if you are not demanding and not picky, then this hotel can be chosen for relaxation. Even retirees from Russia came there! If you want to see the SEA WITH FISH AND CORALS you need to go to another place, closer to the hotel "4 seasons" and "Grand Plaza", there is a magnificent sea with its small coves! Yes, the hotel is mostly visited by tourists from Poland (50%), Russia (30%), Ukraine (12%), Italy, Spain (3%), locals (5%). Personal rest to all! The hotel management promises that in a couple of years this hotel will become one of the 5 best hotels in the Nabk Sharm el-Sheikh district! They will build a pontoon for the winter, complete construction work on the hotel (which did not prevent us from resting! ), There will be a beauty salon, fitness center. But unfortunately, the SEA will not be!
I hope I have given detailed information for those wishing to stay at this hotel. Here's another thing: tour prices do not match the hotel service! For comparison: from Ukraine the cost of the tour (2 adults + 1 child) - $ 3.200, from Russia (2 adults + 1 child) - $ 1.450, from Poland (2 adults + 1 child) - $ 2.000. This is from the analysis of conversations with vacationers.
