We had a rest from January 5 to January 13, 25.
1. The weather is warm in the afternoon, cool in the evening, sometimes windy. It is better to take more warm clothes.
2. The sea is gorgeous. The entrance is shallow, sandy, and even in January you can swim.
3. The hotel is, in my opinion, one of the best Rixos (before that, we were in 4 of them in different directions).
4. The room was lovely - pool villa;
5. Spa - an excellent massage is done by a woman from Thailand named Kantana (I would compare her technique to a professional piano playing by a pianist, only with your muscles). And it's better to get a Thai massage right away.
Also, we bought spa treatments at a nearby salon from a tour operator for $ 45 per person. I highly do not recommend it. There is no feeling of relaxation at all, some kind of race in the cycle of procedures. Well, a terrible skin reaction, I don't know what, apparently they overdid it with a washcloth.
6. And of course, people. The staff is all very friendly. From receptionists, waiters to maids.
7. Special thanks to Dr. Mohamed. It just so happened that the children got sick. We didn't bother with insurance, we used the services of a doctor from the hotel. And they didn't regret it! The hotel administrators were constantly calling, asking for the condition, and trying their best to help.
I definitely recommend this hotel for a vacation. For people with English difficulties, all events are held in several languages, there are a lot of Russian-speaking staff, in general, there are no language barriers.
Well, the food, in my opinion, is also excellent.
The only fly in the ointment is the Biblio Globe. The most important thing for the hotel guide was to sell us guided tours. He didn't help us with any questions. Riksos staff helped solve all the issues. We took a guided tour to Luxor. We had a wonderful guide, Jamal, who spoke very interestingly. Luxor is certainly worth a visit. It's not a close road, but it's worth it. The only thing is, the food on the tour is bad. They asked me to replace lunch at the restaurant with another place for an additional fee. We also had a private transfer and a fast track. You need to bargain or buy online for a fast track. Upon leaving the hotel, the guide, who came for us 45 minutes ahead of time, started calling the room, hurrying, talking emotionally, as a result, we were going to be in a stressful situation. The hotel guide, Said, apparently did not provide information about the transfer of an individual transfer. The accompanying guide spoke rudely at the meeting, even with the Riksos staff he had a conflict situation. This man, as if from a bazaar, screams and creates a fuss. It feels like he was trading at an Egyptian bazaar in Istanbul, and I think that's where he belongs, but definitely not in tourism. Next time, obviously, the choice will not be in favor of the Biblio Globus company.
