Summer in the middle of winter

Written: 31 may 2013
Travel time: 16 — 23 december 2012
We really wanted to get into the summer, and most importantly, swim in the sea, and the choice of the hotel was based on this. We were interested in the sea, food, the lack of discos under the windows and the price, but how could it be without it. And all our expectations were justified. So, the hotel is located on a mountain and there is a staircase to go down to Naama Bay, which is quite steep, but for two thirty-year-old people there were no problems, and even more so it’s nice to shake up after dinner, although for older people it can be difficult, but the plus is that that in the evenings and at night, music is very loud in Naama Bay (until 4-5 in the morning), and we are on our "mountain" in silence and with a beautiful view of the entire bay. If you want to walk and have fun, go down. The staff is very friendly, many speak Russian and all in English. There are not many Russians, mostly British, Slavic brothers, Germans. The food is excellent, no complaints, neither in quality nor in assortment, and also no stomach problems. You won't be left hungry. The hotel area is very small, clean, but, of course, restoration is required. Room, we had a double with a view of the bay, spacious, but also would not hurt repair. At first we were upset that the water in the shower flowed in a thin stream, but then we got used to it and the interruptions were not often. There were no smells or creatures. The room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed every day as well. We left a dollar tip to the cleaner and he did wonders for us with towels, as well as flowers, petals and so on. Pleasant, trifle, but pleasant. The safe was not used, nothing was stolen from the room and strangers are not allowed into the territory. Since we went for the sake of the sea, we got it as we wanted. The sea is clean, the beach is not cut down corals, that is, you need slippers. The descent into the sea along the stairs and from the bottom step is immediately deep, but if you turn to the rocks, then knee-deep. I would not advise with small children, but over 10 years old they swam and were completely delighted. And what kind of fish are there? . . no need to go on any excursions, put on a mask and go, they are all in front of you in their natural environment. This is amazing. I want to note that we are not so hot swimmers and I swam with a mask, in general, for the first time. Nearby was the hotel "Stella" *****, so they cut down all the corals and there was a pontoon, so one uncle sailed to us to watch the fish. Now about the rest in December in Egypt, at this time there is a season of winds, which we were warned about. The sun warmed perfectly, but when you get out of the water the wind is cold. It is ideal to go in November, it is not hot and there is no wind. Since this was our first trip, the impressions of the country are not spoiled and I would like to return to the Red Sea once again. I hope my review helps someone, the hotel is not very popular
