I had a vacation in October 2024, alone.
I am very happy with the hotel, although I have read some negative reviews, but in my opinion they are not entirely realistic.
Rooms.
The rooms are very tired, I don't think this is the main thing. The plumbing is working, the electrics are working too. The only thing that really pissed me off was the air conditioner built into the wall, which blows directly onto the bed. In other words, you're lying in bed, and the wind is blowing in your face and there's no getting away from it. The next morning is guaranteed: throat, snot, cough and herpes. Who mounted it is a damned "genius ". How did you get out of the situation?! I turned off the air conditioner at night and opened the window, not to say that it refreshed the room much, but it's better than a cold.
Cleaning.
Every day, but very mediocre. They were spinning swans.
Towels were changed 1 time in 8 days. The only thing I have left in question is whether these towels and bed linen are washed in powder or just thrown into the washing machine and it all just spun in the water.
When I stopped by, the type of clean towels were all stained, which were perfectly washed with simple soap!!! When the towels were changed, the story was the same. There were stains and they could be washed off. Someone will say, how did you know that they were changed? But I easily understood. By the very spots that I spotted and remembered. There weren't any on the changed towels somewhere, where there were, but others. And one more thing - when you wash a thing, it smells like powder. And in the hotel, neither on the day of arrival nor afterwards - neither towels nor even bed linen had any smell at all. By the way, about the bed linen - on the day of arrival, I got confused - I checked the bed and threw some black hair off the sheet (I'm blonde). To be honest, at 3 a.m. I didn't really want to do swearing and find out something. So I just relaxed and scored. Because I can't prove all this, and I don't want to. If people in the hotel had picked up something, this information would have spread very quickly and we all knew about it. Word of mouth is working!
Meal.
I didn't go to lunch.
The breakfasts are normal.
The dinners are great.
I was well-fed and satisfied.
Among the disadvantages are sausages, sausages and cheeses like cotton wool. It's not very tasty. Even local cats don't eat them, and cats know a lot about food :):) :)
No poisoning has been detected.
Staff.
It's just something on an unreal level. Everyone is polite, smiling, regardless of whether you gave them a dollar or not. The dishes are brought and taken away instantly. Mohammed the bartender at the bar near the restaurant is a handsome man. Kind, pleasant. I even left him 5 bucks at the end of my trip. He's too much
customer-oriented. By the way, you need a life hack - if you have $ 100 in one bill and you need small money - do not skimp, buy a cocktail from Muhammad for $ 3 and he will bring change in dollars and small ones. Bartenders can always solve any issue.
The guests.
There are a lot of Italians and mostly Russian pensioners and families with children. If you are looking for a romantic dating, you are not here.
Beach.
The hotel is on line 2, there is a shuttle service to the Amforas Blue hotel, through which we go to the beach. I've never used it, how much do you have to be a lazy ass not to walk for an extra 10 minutes?! I walked.
There are plenty of sun beds.
There are always places.
By the way, they cook delicious pizza there.
Weather.
I was from October 20 to October 29, there was a strong wind, and because of it strong waves, a red flag often hung, which means that you can not swim.
It ruined the rest a bit. Because the beach is in the form of a cliff and you will not be able to sit quietly in the water. By the way, there is nothing to do with small children there. Before you go, watch the video reviews about the hotel and rate the beach.
There is a reef, they say it's dead, but I haven't seen anything else, so it's fine. There are plenty of fish.
Excursions.
I took only one to Dahab canyon + quadrics. I took it from albatross Travel. Everything is clear. The guys are popular.
Neighbourhood.
Open the map, see what's nearby. I walked around the area, I even found something like an alley with shopping malls and bars. I walked there. You can take a taxi to the old town and Naama Bay, I didn't go, I didn't have to.
Overall, I am satisfied with the hotel. I'm even ready to come back again if I have to.
And finally - people! Be kinder, smile and don't forget about politeness!
The hotel is generally good, solid 4, the food is acceptable, in the evening there is always a grill for 10 days they gave grilled crabs for dinner once, and so there is always fish, grilled chicken for dinner. The territory is excellent, the rooms are restored, the furniture is of course tired, we lived in the 27th building opposite the main pool with slides, the only minus is that those who love silence will not fit, from 10 to 17.30 music, room cleaning every day, in general, if you are courteous, say hello and smile, then the staff is also excellent to It applies to you! The sea is excellent, the reef is normal, descent from the pontoon, line 2 go slowly to explore for 5-7 minutes , the beach at the blue hotel
For the first time we were on a beach holiday in general and in Egypt in particular.
- The biggest disadvantage of the hotel is the food. There is an assortment of dishes to choose from. But the cooking quality is worse than I've ever tried. (I usually eat at budget cafes or at home, not restaurant requests) Of all the presented items, you could only eat rice, spaghetti, 1-2 salads and sweets. More pizza on the beach and pancakes. I tried everything else once and put it aside. An ordinary mashed potato with lumps, not baked to the end. The fish is disgusting.
