Advantages:
1. Excellent sandy entrance to the sea, without stones, slabs, shells. The beach is located in a small lagoon, to the left of which there is a beautiful sandy peninsula for walking alone.
2. A gorgeous clean sea with few people. Sometimes it seems that you are resting alone.
3. Lifeguard on the beach from 8.00 to 21.00
4. Water sports away from the beach (very little used). There is surfing with an instructor for $ 40 / hour - my son liked it, it's safe.
5. The presence of beachboys who carry towels and move heavy wooden deck chairs.
6. The beach towels are good.
7. The territory is well maintained, beautiful, pleasing to the eye.
8. There is a wide promenade illuminated in the evening. The total length from the Marina to the pier with the reef is about 3-4 km. There are very few people on this promenade, which allows you to run almost alone in the morning and walk along the sea in the evening.
9. A free shuttle runs along the boardwalk, which takes you to the pier and back to the hotel.
10. The standard rooms are large and bright with very comfortable beds. We had separate wide beds, long pillows (2 each - you can adjust). We lived in the main building on the ground floor overlooking the garden. Not far from all the necessary facilities. Surprisingly, due to the location of the building, the room was never exposed to direct sunlight, so there was no need to turn on the air conditioner at night! During the day, you could turn it on and leave. The access system is old, it did not require finding the card in the key.
11. Our room cleaning was very good. I always leave a daily tip (1-2 $, 50 pounds). The towels were of 4 sizes and in sufficient quantity for everyone. I don't know how often the messenger was changed, because it was always as fresh. Bottled water was always in the room in large quantities and was constantly replenished.
12. There is a stationary mount in the shower with a good shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in large quantities. Lotion - small bottles.
13. Of the 7 lines of sunbeds, only 2 closest to the water were occupied. Therefore, you could come at any time and find a good place.
Minuses:
1. The furniture (crumbled) and plumbing in the rooms are old, well-worn, but kept clean. In some places, the walls of the common corridors look shabby and require painting.
2. I was surprised - there were no slippers and bathrobes at the time of check-in. They were brought upon request and changed 1 time a week. It was also strange in such a hotel that there was no set of cotton swabs and discs.
3. On the beach there are very old sunbeds, sometimes very good, sometimes partially broken. Well, the mattresses on them are a big disappointment and a depressing sight. There is cracked dermatin and holes in the leg part.
4. The beach bar is very modest, but waiters walk along the beach. Children could choose some cocktails like milk- coca, milk- juices, syrups, cola, etc. Beer and wine are the same. Chips and nuts, sometimes fruits on skewers. But with cocktails - a strange story, we did not fully understand - but there was no pinocolade.
5. The biggest disappointment is the restaurant. It seems that there is food, but it is almost the same and predictable every day. There were no porridges at all, soups were incomprehensible, something vegetable or dairy (at least the children managed to stuff them, they did not want to eat themselves). The pasta was bland and tasteless. There was no children's table in principle. The fish was in batter every day, and the tuna was grilled- but the taste was for an amateur. Although there was smoked salmon for breakfast (the children ate with great pleasure). In general, everything is very usual. We don't eat much, we wanted interesting dishes.... As for desserts, vegetables and fruits, they are all traditionally the same, fresh and generally delicious.
6. Waiters are strange, not observant and not worthy of tips. Although we tried to be friendly and look diligent. For example, the table seems to be set for five. But not everyone has glasses, three of them have the whole set of serving, the rest have something missing. And so often. Coffee/tea will be brought, there are no teaspoons. We order wine, hoping to consume it before the main meal, while they bring- eat half ..., the children ask for tea- while they wait, they will devour all the sweets. these little things sometimes infuriated. Not even sometimes, but often.
But the sun and the sea brightened everything up! By the way, when you rest for a week, you can go through a monotonous menu, and when you are with children for 2 weeks, the monotony becomes unbearable. This is the moment the hotel needs to reconsider!
About low tide- you can swim in the morning at low tide and in the evening, so you chose this place. If you walk 10 minutes, there will be a diving place for both children and adults!
And yet, just like 20 years ago in Egypt, there is dirt and debris on the sides of the road… It's so depressing and spoils the impression!
Everything is fine. We rested for 2 weeks. A large beautiful hotel with different buildings and a huge territory. A beautiful bay, convenient for swimming, the hotel is excellent. We had a Super ALL INCLUSIVE and there are no complaints about the food/service and the hotel itself. Very good service for a country like Egypt. The territory is well maintained, always clean and beautiful. Golfgar drives along the embankment along the street of our and the nearest hotels for free. There are show programs in the evenings. There are comfortable sun beds on the beach, waiters run around bringing drinks and snacks tirelessly. The rest was wonderful.
