This year, we approached the planning of the vacation in earnest and 2 months in advance. I chose the country, and my husband another bay in Sharm el-Sheikh. The Red Sea fell in love with itself and did not want to let go. The absence of flights from Nizhny Novgorod to places other than Egypt (I don't travel to Turkey in April) also added a few weighty coins to the scales. In order to finally painlessly part with the dream of visiting Goa or Bali, I vividly imagined an endless flight, a child with an endless “Maam, and maam, well, maam, how much longer do we have to fly? Now, how much do we have left? " and her husband, sighing loudly and reproachfully for the whole plane.
Well, Egypt - my love, come on, tell me about the hotels. We chose, re-read a bunch of reviews, said that all this is garbage and crap, and people wrote it in delirium, but re-read a couple more heaps just in case. We decided - it is - and went to the travel agency. Illusions collapsed in an instant - and Pegasus does not work with him, and only he flies from the Lower. And in general - why do you need it for 140 thousand? Indeed, for 140 thousand, it didn’t really give up to me.
We decided to try to find a middle ground, such as price-quality. Good prices were found in Taba, as for the quality, we began a new stage of reading reviews. Taba pleased with the blue mountains in the pictures and upset by the lack of corals in most hotels. Corals, but not alone, but with a turtle, were found in Radisson Sas Taba. The turtle determined the final choice.
Well, then it’s standard - buying a ticket, collecting suitcases, transporting animals and, finally, the airport. Pegasus added a spoon (and what is there - splashed a ladle) of tar - a flight there in the evening, from there early in the morning. Total: minus two days. But the flight time was reduced - instead of 5 and a half hours, exactly one hour less. But on a carcass instead of a Boeing. Despite this change, they flew perfectly. Departed at 0 degrees, arrived at 25 in the evening.
I naively thought to Taboo, such a distance, we'll go alone. Be that as it may, there were almost a whole large bus full of people. We drove comfortably and just didn’t notice for 2.5 hours. On the way, we made a short stop in the mountains under the pretext of visiting the toilets, which was located in a small shop. Although I loudly called it a shop: a shed under a mountain selling slippers, fins, beer and an entrance to the toilet. To the delight of local sellers, all the tourists from our bus, except us, were in Egypt for the first time and, having heard from the guide “Take slippers here, the hotel will be 2 times more expensive”, they raced to take slippers. For 20 dollars. We managed to stop those running in the tail and enlighten them that even in a hotel in the middle of the desert they would not cost more than 10 dollars. The fastest slippers managed to stock up.
They were already waiting for us at the reception, they settled us in 5 minutes and took us to the room in a small autocar. The hotel buildings are very well planned and built, and it turns out that each room has a view of the sea, and with it the view of Jordan, which glows with hundreds of lights at night, and each room has a balcony. The room was large (about 40 sqm) with a bathroom separated by a corridor. The room has a safe, individual air conditioning, a kettle and tea and coffee sets, a hairdryer. There is a cooler with drinking water in the corridor. The baby bed was already in the room. We lived on the first floor, and right under the balcony we had a huge lawn, where in the evenings my daughter gathered a company of children and everyone played something there together. Nevertheless, at the reception they offered to move to the room of the first line of buildings - Marina Club for $ 150. We decided to first see what they would give, and if you didn’t like it, change. They did not change and subsequently did not regret it very much. The fact is that the first line is, of course, the closest to food and water (both the sea and the pool), but also all the music that plays on the pool almost all day, and in the evenings (late evenings I must say) in the amphitheater, which is located in the same place and is the venue for all sorts of evening shows and discos.
The hotel area is large and very green. In the background, the purple-gray-purple Sinai mountains.
The beach is large, no one had any problems with sun loungers or awnings. Towards the end of our stay, when the people arrived, many more sun loungers were brought. The sea at the entrance to it is sandy, just go one and a half meters of stones. But slippers are a must, there are a lot of hedgehogs. And in Sharm, I didn’t even see such huge hedgehogs . . Entrances to the sea from the left and right sides of the beach. It is better to go on the left, where you can calmly cross over large flat stones to the sand. There are also two reefs on the left, the first one is quite small, almost near the shore, at the level of the end of the Bedouin tent. The second is almost at the same level but 50 meters deep into the sea. At low tide, you can easily walk, the depth is a little more than 1.5 meters. On the right, although the entrance is lined with slabs, the entry is comfortable only at high tide, when you can swim right from the end of the slabs. At low tide, the entrance is inconvenient: a narrow passage between two heaps of stones, where a bunch of hedgehogs. But on the right is the most beautiful reef, however, it is far enough, 100 meters deep into the sea. This is where the turtle lives. Someone saw her, and someone even rode. If not lying. There are also enough fish, but they are a little shy, or rather not as impudent as in Sharm. We saw several fish, which, with all the variety and splendor of Sharmovsky, were not met there. They saw, moreover, filmed three moray eels. All three are different colors - pure white, spotted and gray. We saw a squid - an amazingly beautiful creature: absolutely transparent, golden in color with a large colored eye. We met a stingray, small, but enough to scare me a little. 15 minutes. In general, the sea, for my taste, is not bad. Slightly cool compared to last year's 28 degrees. But there are waves, small and pleasant to swing on them. By the way, at high tide you can just swim along the beach, there are also several corals there, I won’t call it a reef, because. there are few corals, they are rare and small.
Food is a separate feature of the hotel. I have probably never eaten so much meat in these one and a half weeks in my life. There was a lot of meat, different and very tasty. The fish was smaller, but also terribly tasty. Sometimes there were crabs and king prawns. There were different barbecues every evening. For children there were all sorts of cutlets, stewed meat in sauce and all sorts of casseroles. There are no restrictions on anyone and in anything: neither in food, nor in drinks, incl. and alcohol. Pastries are simply unrealistically many and unrealistically delicious. Fruit will not say that the blockage, but enough. The main thing was guava ) Juices in the restaurant are adjustable, but quite good. In bars, everything is the same, plus guava and mango from bags, and tomato from jars.
There are a lot of people in the hotel, judging by the fullness of the restaurant at rush hour, but this is noticeable only there. The beach is large, the territory is even larger - no one interfered with anyone. Russian about half. Large oriental families often come with their 7-8 children. One family went out to the beach early every morning, under the guidance of dad, they did exercises, and then dad and the boys played football and women and girls sat on the sand and sang songs. I also came early for a swim, and then dozed on a sun lounger, listened to their songs and met the rising sun.
I will praise the animation team separately. The morning began with a funny hotel song and an incendiary dance of the animators, into which they drew everyone. And then for all tastes - stretching, step, water aerobics, volleyball, water polo, football, Latin dances, belly dancing, Arabic lessons. In the evening, live music in one bar, entertainment shows or in the lobby, or in the open-air amphitheater or in a Bedouin tent on the very seashore. Well, of course, a children's disco. To the sports facilities I will add a good tennis court, table tennis tables, a gym and a jogging track around the entire hotel for 2 km.
I will also praise the staff separately - very friendly, welcoming, executive and unobtrusive. Not a single request was left without attention and its immediate implementation. A couple of episodes: day one, dinner. My daughter is standing in the middle of the restaurant with an empty plate, she did not like anything. One of the chefs comes out and in turn offers all the dishes one by one to her. Nothing to like again. “What does she want? ” he asks me. "French fries". "Unfortunately, she's not here today, but I'll ask the chef if he can cook especially for you. " We wait. After 5 minutes they bring us a plate of coveted potatoes. A trifle to cook, but nice. Episode two - mosquitoes were found in the room upon arrival. We call reception at 2 am (we arrived only at midnight), after 5 minutes a serious man in a white coat comes and for 40 minutes carefully processes every piece of the room. The mosquitoes fled in complete terror and never returned. No one extorts tips (I compare with last year's Hilton), but, of course, no one refuses.
The hotel area, as I mentioned, is large and very green. I am looking at photos and videos now, and I understand that the records do not convey how green the territory is. There is even a small vegetable garden and beds with herbs: mint, dill, basil. In the evening, half of the beds will be mowed, after a couple of days you can mow again. There are two pools: a central large one and a small one for children. The animation takes place on the pool, but the beach is nearby, just go down the stairs 4 steps, so the music is slightly audible even in a remote corner of the beach and you won’t miss the events. There are 3 restaurants, one of them Italian a la carte, one for daytime snacks and open-air dinners at night. There is a Bedouin tent on the beach, where, for a fee, they can also serve dinner on the seashore and you can just sit, listen to the sound of the sea and smoke a hookah. Bars 4: the reception is small, working in the evenings, there is also a plus on the balcony, where the singer Ahmed often sings in the evenings, a bar on the beach and a bar in the pool. Yes, I didn’t notice any difference for the nutrition of all and superall - I didn’t find any reason to overpay, no one wears bracelets.
I have already written a lot, the impressions are still very vivid. Most importantly, if they ask me if I will recommend this hotel to friends and acquaintances, I will say for sure - I will definitely.
