The sea at this time was not very warm and there were a lot of jellyfish, because not all the children swam there.
Really large beautiful territory. Beautiful view from the number. An interesting water park for children is interesting, although with too hot water on big slides. The food is diverse, for some reason all the milk porridge is not tasty, but in general you could choose something. Constant large lines in a restaurant and finding a place where to sit down. The sun loungers took towels from 6 in the morning, at 7:30 there were no longer there, or 1 somewhere on the very edge. The rooms are poorly removed, in 10 days the towels were changed 1 time, the bed is never. A lot of mosquitoes in the room!
The worst of all in this hotel are rooms, cleaning and some administrators. Upon arrival, late in the evening was settled in the room with a view of the garden, where the wall is peeling, to the leatherette on the bed, dirty. They asked to replace, they said "tomorrow. " There was a very unpleasant situation with a replacement.
They offered a room with a view of the pool, a little restored, I agreed what she said on the recipe. On the recipe, administrators often change, they did not record this. During the way she collected and endured the laid out things, this number was already offered to someone else, although things have already been postponed. The administrator, who gave me a card, was very shouted at me on the phone, because he did not know that I would transfer things. After paying a lot of money for the tour, at that moment I did not understand what I was doing there at all. There would be no such situation at the hotel of a higher level.
Everyone chooses a hotel for himself, but it is better to pay my opinion a little or even for the same money to find something better.
Settlement: recipe personnel were served professionally, efficiently in early settlement, without surcharges wonderful Mr. Saiew and Mr. YouSSEF - Reception Staff, throughout the rest they constantly consulted and helped on all rest issues, for which I am very grateful to them !! !
Of particular gratitude from myself and from many other guests of the hotel, I want to express the festival of the hotel-rimm, a sweet, wonderful girl, and an excellent professional in her field: Reem USAMA-GUEST RELATION !! !
Every day, from morning to late in the evening, she is the best assistant at the hotel, for all guests, on all issues !! !
The territory of the hotel-140000M2- is very large and very well-groomed, similar to the Garden of Paradise, everywhere flowers, greens. Palm trees and perfect cleanliness !!!
The staff is friendly and is always ready to help, which creates a pleasant atmosphere.
Transport: for those who want to go to Naam Bay, the old city, Soho Square - in the evening. Every day there are convenient beads there and back.
Nutrition: in the hotel: 2 restaurants in the main building, 2 A La Carte: Italian- Bella Vista, East, both free for all, 7 nights and many bars. The food is very tasty, diverse, all the birthday people for the birthday- cake as a gift and congratulations from the restaurant chief himself: Mr. Mohamed Rashed, the best of many professionals !! !
The rooms are a little old, but the categories of 4 stars are quite consistent. Everything is clean, comfortable and functional. Cleaning the room is always of high quality with all the jewelry !! ! Special gratitude to an excellent professional: Mohamed - Housekeeping - Room No. 7232 and a very kind and good person !!! !
Beach: ! Pure, well -groomed, with transparent water, which literally attracts to plunge.
The reef next to the beach is simply amazing - colorful fish, beautiful corals, a real underwater kingdom! Recently, new tropical umbrellas were installed on the hotel beach, new sand was bombarded, a new pontoon was made, an additional number of sun loungers, which are still not enough, will soon be imported, and all this is decided by the director of the beach and pools: Mr. Arafa is a wonderful leader and a very kind, responsive person !! ! Special gratitude to you from all guests !!! !
Animation: fun, music, drive, happiness, joy - constantly in the hotel, thanks to the group of animators, and the best of them Svetlana !! ! It will always help everyone, answer all questions, she is the organizer of competitions, training, various shows for adults and children !! ! In the evening in the amphitheater there were bright show programs, dancing and discos. Animators are real professionals that charge of the stress and positive of all guests.
I was very pleased with the vacation and I will definitely return here more than once.
Thanks to Continental Plaza Beach Resort for the great impressions! Great rest - I recommend a hotel !! ! .
from 1.03 24 to 2.03 24 at the Continental Plaza Beach Resort hotel
After reading some not very good reviews, it was a little scary, someone wrote that they didn't want to check in earlier, some didn't like the food and the number of rooms, but we chose this hotel because there is a very beautiful coral reef there and we didn't regret it, it's something incredible. who likes to swim and you will like the underwater world!
We arrived at the hotel at 9:30
We checked in immediately for a small present in a good room, and at 10 we put on a bracelet and we went to the sea. We were in the main building to the sea in five minutes along a very beautiful alley. The territory is very beautiful and well-kept, it was also important for us that there were no steep descents to the sea, as there are many hotels with endless steps.
We didn't really like the food on the first day, but already on the second day, when we tried more or less everything and chose what suited us, everything was delicious until the end of the vacation. Of course, if someone wants "high" cuisine, then this is not the place for you.
The room was standard nothing special cleaning every day
Everything is clean
In general, I really liked the rest, the weather was very comfortable, 28-31 degrees Celsius, there was no wind
I really liked the spa massage procedures, I highly recommend it
There was also animation and an aqua park, but we didn't get there, but it's great for those with children
Conclusion: the hotel fully meets the price-quality ratio
I also forgot to say that all the staff are very friendly, so I recommend the Continental Plaza hotel
On the recommendation of Scandia Tour
Great hotel for a budget holiday in Egypt!
Pros:
*first line,
*a large well-groomed area surrounded by greenery: palm trees, grass, shrubs and everywhere full of colorful flowers (! ) A feast for the eyes!
*a wide, spacious sandy beach, and everything with it: a bar with tables (water, juices, beer, snacks - French fries, salad burgers, after lunch - pancakes...and for a fee there is ice cream, natural juices) toilet, locker room, summer shower, towels issued by card, and always places available!
*relatively short pontoon, 20 meters
*expanse for snorkelers plus an interesting house reef, and you can see the bottom behind the coral crust, and not a frightening abyss like in other hotels.
I didn’t notice any downsides to the hotel for its price category.
The rooms are all standard, wide, everything works: air conditioning, plumbing, TV (who watches that? ), refrigerator (without drinks), there is hot water.
The rooms are cleaned daily, the bed and towels are white and clean. From cosmetics: soap, shampoo and shower gel in plastic mini bottles that are replenished as used.
The cuisine is standard Egyptian. There will always be something to eat until you're full. Everything is! Eggs, meat, fish, rice, potatoes, beans, pasta, vegetables, fruits, baked goods, yogurt, always 2 types of soups, tea, coffee, drinks and much more...
There are 2 bars with drinks on the reception floor.
Not far from the entrance to the main building there are shops where you can buy goods (bargain!!! ), but the prices will be twice as high as in the Old Market, so I advise upon arrival at the hotel on the first evening to take a taxi to the Old Town (Old Market) and buy everything you need: masks for snorkeling, corals, Mangoes, aromatic teas, oils, medicines, etc. etc...for example, the hotel will ask for $10 for corrals, negotiate down to $7, but in the Old Market they cost $5.
Round-trip taxis can be found for $15 per car.
If your company consists of 3-4 people, then it is definitely more profitable to go to Old Market.
About excursions...The guide will offer them at an expensive price. There will be people offering excursions on the beach...be careful not to fall for the expensive pleasure.
Find the website Empire Tourism in Egypt on the Internet and study the names of excursions and prices for them, and compare...they have the most realistic prices. Or find the travel agency NEMO on Instagram - very pleasant communication and low prices. With NEMO we swam to Rass Mohamed for $17 per person, and our friends had previously been scammed on the same excursion for $35 per person - they bought it from an Arab on the beach. We paid $20 for a photo + video underwater when diving with a diver, and our friends paid $40, and the quality of their photos is much worse...
Speaking of the reef...We went with the NEMO travel agency to Rass Mohamed...
The only thing I liked was swimming on a boat; there were 2 stops for an hour, we snorkeled around a coral island while those who wanted to dived - I’ll tell you that Continental’s snorkeling is much more interesting and varied, so you shouldn’t expect anything better.
Be sure to take mosquito repellent with you, otherwise you will have sleepless nights.
If you are looking for a more interesting reef, swim to the right until you reach the shore of the Rark Regency Hotel (formerly Hyatt) - you need to swim past 2 pontoons and further; and to the left, sail past the Grand Plaza and to the Reef Oasis Blue Bay - then it’s not so interesting, and you can feel the current. The most interesting direction is to the right to Hayat.
Buy a massage course at a local spa - they charge $25 for one procedure, and if you decide to do 5 procedures, it costs $20...I recommend Ulshat or Maya among the masseuses - they do their job conscientiously.
The Internet is much better than in 21, you can catch it not only at the reception, but also on the territory, near the beach...
but the quality is inconsistent, so buy a SIM card at the airport and you will have problem-free Internet.
The holiday was a success, I recommend this hotel!
No matter how long I stay in them, only spending the night is therefore not very important, but if you have a fad about this, then you are definitely not here. It was cool at night, but the air conditioner does not work for heating, you can not even try to turn it on, it gives an E4 error. Rooms on the first floor are warmer. We had one room on the second floor and two on the first. The bed was changed 1 time, the towels, in principle, did not understand, they were changed or simply hung to dry, soap and shampoos were added 1 time. Next is the meeting with the guide. They picked us up and took us to the conference room. thank God that he told information about the departure, for beginners it is important, he said about the hotel you will figure it out yourself and started selling excursions, it was a very unpleasant moment for those who did not take excursions. We had to fill out a questionnaire and give it to the guide. So, if you do not buy a tour, then you can give the questionnaire only from 12-00.
People wanted to just give up and go sunbathing, but they were literally told that he was busy, come after 12-00 and not earlier. On excursions, we took the panoramic, Soho, Mount Moses and the Bomba. I will say in general terms, they are more expensive, there is 2 times less information, it is very dangerous on the mountain, there was a hurricane wind, some girls were knocked down, our guide disappeared at the most dangerous section. We climbed the mountain and we don’t understand this is the end point or somewhere else we need to go. As a result, we saw the dawn and turned back. I don’t know about the season, but at this time this excursion is a survival game. The bomb was canceled due to a storm in Dahab, they replaced it with a VIP yacht. A VIP yacht is not a question of a yacht, as it turned out. The most ordinary yacht stood nearby and steeper. VIP this applies to the program, as the guide explained to us. I want to note that we really liked lunch on the yacht, but everything else was wasted money, since at this time there is a very cold wind.
I was able to get into the water only at the first stop, my son had diving, he, chattering his teeth, climbed into a wet suit at the second stop, at the third there was a sandy island, we didn’t go to it, it was very cold. Conclusion at this time of the year there is no point in taking such excursions. Now back to the hotel again. Restaurant, you will not die of hunger, but if someone is used to diversity, then again you are not here. Although, in principle, everything was fish and meat, rice, pasta, potatoes, grilled vegetables are standard, but get ready for the fact that the brightest dishes will be served to you in portions, defiantly refusing to add anything. on the last day at the restaurant there were wild queues for food, apparently a lot of vacationers arrived. The beach bar is something. I managed to try the hamburger once in all the time. That is, a certain amount of food is given out, if you did not have time to take it, then you are out of luck. I'm used to you lying down, sunbathing.
Hungry, I went to take myself either a potato or a hamburger, in any case, this was the case in past hotels. If you don’t want to leave the beach, you ate fast food at the bar and continue sunbathing. This number will not work here. If you want to try seize the moment and stand in line in the hope that you have enough. forgot to write about the bar. I found out about the fact that in the bar from 7-00 to 10-00 you can get free grain coffee quite by accident, although if you look very closely it is written on the price plate below, and the girl who went on an excursion with me, this coffee for two days in a row sold in the morning. I must say right away that for a dollar, coffee is made much tastier. About animation, it is, Pilates on the beach, jumbo and water gymnastics, in the evening a children's disco and a show program, I did not notice any competitions or games. On the territory of the hotel is quite large and beautiful, but dirty. tables are not wiped, and the floors are dirtier than in Soho Square.
The conclusion is that the hotel is most likely given 4 stars because of the large territory, and so it hardly reaches the top three.
Everything is quite good in the hotel:
- the room is clean, a little dark in the evening, some sockets did not work, but this did not upset us, the mattresses are new and comfortable;
- food is quite diverse, many baked vegetables, beef, chicken, fish, porridge, potatoes, soups, fresh vegetables, several times squid, crabs, shrimps. Fruits: orange, grapefruit, tangerine, melon, watermelon, persimmon, physalis, pomegranate, dates, all in turn. They do not hesitate to pour alcohol in the restaurant and bar.
- the territory of the hotel is very beautiful, large, green, respect to the hotel employees;
- the best, of course, is the sea, corals and fish, here the rating is 10+. A beautiful sandy beach, we swam into the sea through corals, we did not use a pontoon. The pontoon needs to be repaired.
A very nice beach for children, you can swim near the shore, the bottom is sandy, corals are not particularly necessary.
They were in December, there were no winds, very comfortable weather for winter, water +24-25.
In last year's reviews, they wrote about fallen sunbeds and torn mattresses, this situation has been corrected, the mattresses are new on the beach, not so near the water park, towels are 50/50.
In the main restaurant, the furniture has been updated, there is no point in going to a la carte restaurants.
We had a late departure, the bracelets were not cut off, we had lunch and dinner on the day of departure, thanks to the hotel's policy.
Conclusion: we had a great rest, we didn't pay attention to minor flaws, we understood that we were not going to Rixos.
