Good hotel, everything is good, the food is good. Clear. Drinks are served at lunch and dinner by waiters. Tea and coffee only at breakfast, after - only in the bar, but around the clock + kettle in the room. The dinners are themed. There was enough room for everyone. Although the British pulled the blanket over themselves a bit. But there were more of them objectively. But ours are still cooler))) The animation is average, but the girls are trying, they gave us foam parties, and mango day, and the Olympics and other all sorts of different + darts and bocce, wonderful, who knows, he will understand. Everyone is distributed: foreigners 70% at the swimming pools, Russian speakers at sea. There are many stairs, but there are elevators and a minibus runs through the territory to the sea and back. In the dining room, the guys cooks and waiters understand Russian, everyone is friendly. The cleaning is normal, for a better tip. The hillocks are watching the maids (there are men there). The fish are just insanely beautiful, but with small children and those who can't swim, there's nothing to do there, because the sea is deep from the pier. But the underwater world is just a fairy tale! For those who do not swim, there are many pools. There is a small bazaar-shops across the street.. A free tour of the Charm. A huge plus for the hotel is EVERYONE
in the evening, a FREE transfer to different areas of Charm is organized for three hours, you can get acquainted, shop, buy mangoes. I could easily go there again, I recommend it! I liked it))).... Although I didn't want to go to Egypt, I wanted to go to Turkey))) I didn't regret going. And I've been driving for 17 years and I'm already moody. But I can keep a balance and separate what is important and what is not.
A good five with a small territory. Very attentive staff, excellent room and territory cleaning. Good food, meat and fish are eaten daily, once a week fish dinner, shrimp, etc. Seafood. There is ice cream every day. There are a lot of fruits in the restaurant. The beach is small, but there are enough sunbeds. The reef is "poor", there are not very many fish. A lot of crows arrive on the beach after lunch, shitting on sun beds and mattresses. Near the pools, sun beds and mattresses are washed, but on the beach they are still dirty, no one cares about them. And the beach is cleaned somehow. The animation is not bad, the animators are doing well, they are trying. We went to this hotel in early December and we were unlucky with the weather, it was cold and a strong cold wind (although this is not the first time in Egypt in December), even the locals said that it was abnormally cold. In general, the hotel is good, but I would not go a second time, because I love space and to have a good reef.
The hotel is not bad, but not 5 stars
Positive :
+Small area
+ Delicious food . They cook in a very diverse way . Crabs , mutton , fruits , etc.
+Cool and small pier, fish and corrals
+ quiet or lucky. The average age is 45 and above and there are few children (the hotel is not suitable for them for me )
+ good animators ( good-natured )
+ the staff is responsive and Russian-speaking
+ secure ( they left the phone in the room and did not disappear anywhere )
+ in the evening, the hotel takes you to different places by bus (old town, etc.) for free
+ 10 min from the airport (pick up last)
+ inexpensive in cost
What would you work on
- it's a little dirty (you can wash the walls in the dining room)
- rooms and reception require updates. Remove wood and replace old furniture everywhere (bars and restaurants)
- there are no juices for money and you can't buy fruits nearby
- the gym is small and in the basement. They're all old and there aren't even rugs
- at least a paid bathhouse or 1 time by appointment
- there are dirty sunbeds on the beach. In 11 days, the mattresses were washed 1 time and then when everyone came to sunbathe by 9.00 . And who will wash the dirty plasstmass ?
- the staff in the dining room drinks coffee in the morning at 7.00 with the guests. It 's not a pity , but everyone pays attention
- it's time to change the towels ) the view is not suitable for most in the room and on the beach
- hair dryer ) It's better to take your own here
In general, the impression is not bad, but there is something to compare it with. In Egypt.(Pcalbatros ).
And there, prosperity to the hotel and thank you for your hospitality!
A nice green hotel, one of the most beautiful living reefs with a large number of animals. The staff is very helpful, they clean the room every day, and they also leave unusual figures made of towels and flowers. A large selection of dishes and number of places to eat. Three bars + one in the pool, although the alcohol is local, but the wine and beer are quite decent. Of the minuses, this is a very small area and a large drop if you walk from the sea to the main building (30 degrees for sure, but you can also get there by car, which runs constantly), there are rather tubby sunbeds on the first line and the depth of the pools is very small.
We had a rest from 10.01 to 17.01.25. In general, everything was very pleasant! The sea is invigorating! We were swimming. The beach is well maintained, the territory too. The food is not monotonous, but delicious. There were seafood and fish, snacks are a little lame, so overall everything is fine! I really liked the attitude of the staff! Everyone is very smiling and talkative (Most people understand Russian), especially we would like to express our gratitude to the bartender at the pool, Yusuf! He is very sensitive, attentive, and nimble! He definitely has a good future. 😄👍
On the downside: sometimes the animation was a bit boring, the programs are repeated. And some of them didn't go in at all.
The food is very varied and delicious, the staff consists of men - they are always polite and smiling! The room was cleaned daily. I would like to note the atmosphere created by young girls and boys (animators) - entertainment from 10 a.m. to late at night - yoga, physical education, dancing and more! I took off 1 ball for the seashore - I read that the coral coast, but so far I felt it myself it was not very clear ((( You could only swim by walking along the pantone - there are deep and a lot of animals there. On the one hand, it takes my breath away from such beauty and diversity of marine life, and on the other hand, I feel uncomfortable.
The hotel is nice, the rooms are fresh and comfortable. The food is delicious, not very diverse, but you can always find something to eat.
Wi-Fi is weak and does not work throughout the territory sometimes. 2 times a week there was no Wi-Fi at all, they said that the problem was in all hotels.
The reef is not very rich, there is not much to look at.
Since the hotel is multi-level and the pools are distributed throughout the territory, you can always find a free sunbed in the pool, too, quite freely.
Don't believe the reviews about animation. The animator girls themselves are good, they try their best. But the DJ and the main animator are absolutely not interested in working. The reviews are very much asked to write by the animator girls themselves, apparently they need it for reporting, since they take pictures of the reviews. It seems that they work primarily on reviews, but no one is really interested in improving and changing the program. Because we gave our recommendations to the animators, which would be interesting to the guests.
The animation is quite mediocre. During the day there is water polo, a barrel, and sometimes darts. But all this is not very long in time. There is yoga, but in fact it is exercise.
Evening events like Miss and Mr. Hotel are not original. On karaoke nights, the hotel does not provide a projector so that everyone can sing. There is only a semi-working microphone. The evening program is terribly boring and uninteresting.
The DJ plays Arabic music most of the time, although there are very few Arabs in the hotel, mostly Europeans and Russian speakers. One day, the DJ was generally offended by the guests, took the laptop and left, and the karakoy evening ended there.
But in general, we were satisfied with the rest.
The hotel does not pull in 5 stars, strong 4.
The choice of food is small, but the food is delicious.
Snacks at the bar are normal.
With regard to the beach: all the sunbeds at 5.30 am are already occupied by particularly smart tourists, they left towels and left, returned to lunch.
As a result: you go and look for a place for yourself…
Citizens of Ukraine are openly sitting on the beach and shouting glory to Ukraine. They discuss political issues : that the Russian creatures are like that , they started a war with them .
You guys have come on vacation! Leave your opinion on politics elsewhere, everyone has come on vacation and everything is equal.
Animators : none , they walk like sleepy flies and create the appearance of activity. There are no show programs , 30 minutes and that's it. Then everyone is invited to the club for money to go .
The sea is clear, but there are very few fish... the reef is modest.
It has already been 9 times in Charm and there is something to compare it with.
The room is nice - cleaning every day.
Gym : very stuffy , the air conditioner is not working, there is no background music.
Great hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We are resting now! The territory is small, but there is a bus to the beach, which goes often and the driver is cheerful) all the staff are very friendly! Cleaning for 5! Water is always at 1.5 in the room, tea, coffee. A bathrobe and slippers are provided upon request. Bartenders even bring drinks on the beach. There are evening shuttles to Soho, Naama Bay, the market. It is better to take sunbeds by the sea from 7-8 hours.
The hotel is great, we wanted a quiet, relaxing stay, we got it, we wanted a little animation, it's here in moderation. The staff is great.very responsive, there were no problems with arrival, rest and departure.I liked everything .except for the beach itself, but we knew in advance that there is no beach, access to the sea is only from the pier, because of this, we will most likely return it for us, it turned out to be a minus, we liked everything else. The rooms were cleaned every day and tipped, but it's not a pity
A decent hotel. The territory is too small. The food is quite monotonous, there are few seafood for 5. Beef is perfectly cooked. Fruits are available. A reef with lots of fish. In the restaurant, you can take fruits, pastries and everything else with you. We moved into the 1st building, the Windows overlook the restaurant. 20S and the room is quiet. There are few children and this is +
Great hotel. Cosy. On the first coastline. The rooms are clean. The staff is polite and friendly. There are free buses to Naama Bay, Old Town, Soho Square. You only need to make an appointment in advance in the morning. The animation is weak. And so, in general, the norms! There is a coral reef, a lot of fish and all kinds of living creatures. Beautiful! Sometimes there are not enough sun beds.
The food is super, the service is good, the staff wants money as always) Family vacation, the rooms are cool, the territory is very small. The best animators in Charm!) Of the cons: there are sewage treatment plants behind the fence, it stinks of feces, the air freshener at the reception does not even help... A weak coral reef, because it is in the shade (when choosing a hotel, consider sunny beach!)
It's a great place. I did not expect this from Egypt. Let's start : kitchen-5 (the assortment is huge, delicious, a variety every day,...) animation - 3, (which is not interesting during the day or in the evening), service-4 (all staff are polite, smiling, responsive ..., except for the cleaners), rooms- 3.5 (renovation is needed), beach-4 (it will go), coral reef-5+ (the variety and number of fish is huge, the sea the most beautiful, the pier is only 30-40 meters). We were satisfied. Price - quality, a great option. I advise everyone.
Good afternoon, we were at this hotel from 07-17 September 2024. I really liked the hotel, the coral is very beautiful, the sea is gorgeous, the staff service is excellent, there is a diving center, thank you very much, the guys are great, especially Armando, special thanks, the rest is super, the chefs are at the highest level, thank you.
Good hotel, excellent cuisine, excellent service. I would like to say separately about the sea, corals and fish, this is a separate world. A very good diving center, the guys are very careful to help you go into a new experience. We also took a boat trip with diving, everything was also at the highest level
We rested here in December 2024. The hotel itself is tired, but the rooms are very comfortable. Comfortable mattresses and excellent pillows. The food at the hotel is very good, compared to most other hotels in Charm. And most importantly - a gorgeous coral reef with a very convenient descent into the water.
Overall, it is very cozy and atmospheric.
This is a great hotel!!!! Very good-natured staff, the food is just a bomb!High-quality alcohol. A separate song is the reef on the beach, very beautiful with a variety of fish. I will definitely come again!!!
A great hotel for those who really came to relax. The hotel has a small territory , but everything is there . There are several pools, so there's plenty of room for everyone, but we're more of a sea lover. The reef is beautiful , lively , there are many different fish, turtles constantly swam, stingrays and barracudas. The staff is very friendly, daily room cleaning.
We have been to Egypt 10 times already, we like it and hope that we will return to this hotel again, it has its own atmosphere. Most importantly, bring a good mood with you and your vacation will be great.
I was vacationing at the hotel with my family, I really liked everything, starting with the well-groomed and green area.
The service of this hotel is excellent, although this is Egypt. The sea and the pools were warm, they were heated
The food is delicious and different every day
The animation team works well every day of the event, I would like to highlight Lisa, a very pleasant and cheerful animator
We stayed with friends at this hotel in December 2024 from 14 to 24. There were very strong winds for several days, but the air temperature was 24-25° hot.
A small area is important to me, because there are several shops 300 m away from the boardwalk, but there is a bus from the hotel that takes you to Soho, Naama Bay and the Old Town.
But we need to register in the morning, on the day of departure, twice we had "jambs " with the record, we need to specify the room number and the number of people from the room, how many are traveling,
They gave us a list, we signed up, but they didn't explain the result of our departure, we only got two people.
The second time, the receptionist recorded us and also recorded only one room, and again, instead of four, two people were recorded, but in general, we went.
A 3-hour Soho trip, in principle, it seemed to us that there was nothing to do, we had to take a taxi back, a taxi for two dollars per person.
The reef is small but beautiful.
The beach is multi-tiered, there were enough places, beach towels are changed. There is a pool with warm water, there is a lobby bar. The beach and pools are open until 17:00, but already at 15:30, in principle, there is nothing to do on the beach at this time. The sun goes out and it gets cold, it's December.
The rooms are cleaned, there is drinking water, we did not have the declared bathrobes and slippers, we had to ask for a very long time, they brought a bathrobe only after 4 days, and then one to the room, they gave a dollar, they brought the second after 2 days, they also asked for a dollar.
The slippers were given on the first day. They also asked for it.
The restaurant is just 5+, the menu is varied, everything is delicious, the service is excellent, (I'm basically an unassuming tourist) the reception is also good, Pyaterochka
We arrived in the morning, checked in after 12:00 p.m., and at 10:30 a.m. we were given wristbands and could already drink coffee and have a snack at the bar.
There is animation. They're trying.
We got to see live music once, and a saxophone was playing in the lobby. Class.
My vacation was a success, it's been so long since I've had a vacation, somehow I love it more actively, but sometimes you probably need it that way when everything is for you.
I also want to say, when meeting with our guide, they said that we have an all inclusive and one free tour is included, and we decided to go on it .
But it was a trip to the shady places to an oil factory, to some kind of market, 2 mosques, in general, if you don't need it, don't go.
And so we went on safari excursions, which included a trip to the Bedouins for $ 100 and a boat trip on a yacht with diving .
And I also went up Mount Moses for $50.
Wonderful, friendly staff!
I would especially like to mention the animation group, they are just great, friendly, attentive, individual approach to guests, this is a rarity! Special thanks to Alina, Lisa and Julia!
A nice hotel with lots of entertainment, there are two restaurants, a football field, a small water park, many pools, everything was great, but the food is too fried, it's for my taste, so 4
The best reef! The food is of high quality, very tasty. The staff is polite, there are Russian speakers, the service is consistent
Only one moment I did not quite like, there is nothing to eat from 10 to 12:00 in theory))
I recommend the hotel. Delicious food, wonderful sea. What else is needed?
In addition to the coral beach, there is also a sandy beach, where the bus goes from the hotel. There at 9:30, back at 16:00.
In the evening, animation will not let you get bored.
I've already been to other hotels from this chain, but this one is definitely number 1.
Nice hotel. Very good food. However, there are very few fruits. Seafood and fish almost every day. As a disadvantage, there is no shallow water and a small pier. People are cramped to get into the sea and get out. There are a lot of pools. However, without heating.
I really liked the hotel, the food is excellent, the staff is friendly, everything is clean, the rooms are good, the reef is small and sparse, but it's not scary, the first time I want to return to the hotel!
We stayed at this hotel in September 2024. I really liked the hotel, everything is clean, the food is delicious, the staff is friendly, I liked everything, thank you very much! We are planning to go to this hotel again.
Not a bad hotel for Egypt, friendly staff. They allow you to take food from the buffet with you in any quantity)) the menu is quite diverse, although there is not enough fruit. The reef is excellent, two ladders for descent, the depth along the reef is around 7 meters. Freedive is incomparable))) by and large, they followed him. Rescuers don't bother with whistles, as in neighboring hotels, if you swim away behind a flannelette fence. If you want, swim.
A taxi using the InDrive app arrives in a few minutes, costs a penny.
In general, it turned out to be a wonderful vacation with a diver. But I repeat, for the sake of diving and the beauty of the underwater world of the Red Sea and went)
We had a rest with my husband at this hotel. From 12/13/2024-12/23/2024. Check-in after 14.00 is no longer like that, check-out before 12.00, but our card was already blocked at 11.00 so that we would not get into the room. Our building was in the middle, if you look at the photo of the hotel, you can understand the location. Wi-Fi was immediately provided for free with a username and password. But they offered to give me a room with a sea view for a fee. Even the beach is well connected to the Internet. There were no problems with him. Different cuisine every day. To be honest, I didn't like the cooking at all. On Tuesdays, the shrimps make a showcase with fish, but damn, it's like a dummy and that's it, and everyone takes pictures as if it were real. The only delicious food was meat and potatoes. In theory, the food in basically every hotel is almost the same, but the broccoli was always unfinished. It's cool that there's a bar on the beach and at 12.30 they roast chicken and French fries, and at the higher bar I took a Greek salad once, it was frozen. Somehow cucumbers and tomatoes are in the freezer somewhere. There are a lot of pensioners who go to this hotel 5 times and everything suits them. But when you have something to compare it with, you realize that you won't come to this hotel anymore. The reef and pantone are cool. There's no animation at all, they only came up to us in the last few days and offered to go to yoga or exercise. And the employees who offer excursions are not suitable at all, they are only suitable for Americans who will not bargain, but on the one hand they can be understood. When we were checked into the room, there were no towels in the room at all. We said we didn't have them and they brought them to us, but damn, they're all stained. And there was always a problem with towels. I don't wash towels at home every time, but they should be clean. In general, it's cool that the hotel itself takes you by bus to the old town, Soho and Naama Bay for free, as well as to the public beach, but we were there once, they feed us there and we have to be in the guardhouse. Until 00.00 at the reception bar you can drink gin, rum, vodka, juices, and there is also a coffee machine. Snacks can be taken at the same bar, but they are so scarce. When we talked with the animator, she said that there was a late dinner on the 3rd floor where the main bar was, but when we wanted to go up there at all, they wouldn't let us in. The pool is warm and it's fun to play ball. In general, everything seems to be nothing, but they still have some disadvantages. Even though people go there 5 times. Maybe we had a guy in the building who just doesn't change towels at all.... When we were in Saphira, of course, there were 4, but there was really a completely different level of everything. I give this hotel 3 stars, it doesn't even pull 4, to be honest.
I will write an honest review of the hotel, unlike everyone who sings the praises of this hotel. As a matter of fact, after reading them, they "bought" what is called live bait
I hope my review will be posted.
The hotel is not at 5, to be honest.
The room stock is old, well, God forbid, it seems like you can't live forever, but when the toilet is fucked up and everything is beaten up and there is no cleaning as such, except to tuck gray sheets with pellets inside the mattress, spread out smelly pillows and change some torn towels for others… It's just a disaster!
Food: kish-mish, tasteless and monotonous.
There is no beach at all, a narrow descent down a battered ladder, when one jumps, another goes out, the third comes in ... and then everyone splashes pop to pop within a radius of 5 meters and swim backwards with masks looking for fish and rejoicing at each individual😂
The beds are dead, sagging, it's scary to lie down
There are many places, but to each other like a sprat in a jar
There is no way animation, three fools are jumping, I'm sorry, like crazy, attracting a crowd, why embarrass yourself so much?
The hotel is for pensioners, there are flocks of them here , more than the promised fish 😂
God! We can't wait to get home soon
And you won't run away anywhere🤷♀️
I never recommend it to anyone
Great hotel, I really like everything.
The food is delicious and varied 10/10, too much and too tasty.
The staff is friendly.
The animators are at the highest level.
Who are these people who admire this hotel? There is no territory, only a narrow path along the fence. There is no beach, access to the water is 2x2. I arrived at 2 am, and check-in is from 12.00. if you want earlier, then pay. In cash from $ 60 to $20. (It depends on how early I arrived) There is no exchanger, money cannot be withdrawn anywhere. I sat at the reception until 10.00 am, waiting for check-in. I have a room with a sea view, and next to it there are 2 kilowatt speakers with a refrigerator in size and I can't get enough sleep. I'm not coming back anymore, it's still dirty. There is no disco!!!!
The hotel is amazing, small and at the same time very beautiful and atmospheric.
The staff here is nice, the animators too😍
The food is delicious and varied💓
I was vacationing with my husband this fall. The rest is definitely for 10/10!
The biggest plus that we noticed in this particular hotel is the responsive and kind staff! All employees are fluent in English, and we even got Russian speakers, which is very convenient)
Also, we would like to note the convenient location of the hotel. It is within walking distance from the beach. There is everything you need nearby: pharmacies, shops, restaurants.
On the territory of the hotel there is a gorgeous swimming pool with always clean and warm water, amazing vegetation, which, combined with the beautiful architecture of the building, gives aesthetic pleasure!
This event definitely gave me the most vivid emotions, we will definitely come back here again!
A wonderful hotel. The staff is very friendly and constantly keeps the hotel clean. Beautiful territory with several swimming pools. A good entry into the sea is a short pier, and not going into the horizon like other hotels. Feeds for slaughter, everyone will find what they like. The animators are trying very hard, there are always some activities.
I really liked the hotel. The territory is compact, but very convenient. The food is excellent, the sea is awesome. Everything you need for a good rest.
Well, that's...
6 kinds of cakes, they taste the same.
This phrase is the whole rest :) groundhog day.
1star for a cool reef
2 star for the Bass near building 12, where there were always few people
3 star gift.
The food sucks, I had to go to lunch and dinner without interest.
For breakfast, you could eat standard eggs with sausage.
I returned from this hotel yesterday, it was a great vacation!! Beautiful territory, albeit small. A living reef, I saw a lot of fish half a meter in size and more!! The food is delicious, varied, rolls with prunes, I will miss you. Friendly staff, even managed to make friends with some of them and walked in the city in the evenings. Very energetic animation, constantly active in different parts of the hotel.
I was in Egypt for the 10th time, so I can say with confidence that
pluses
Amazing coral reef in Sharks Bay
It is very convenient to descend the inclined steps from the Pier into the water directly above the coral reef
In the evening, the pier is illuminated, and a spotlight shines into the water, dangerous nocturnal fish are visible
The food in the small restaurant is very decent, there are always 2 types of beef, chicken, 1-2 types of fish
For breakfast, lunch and dinner at cook station (where the chefs are) 6 burners and even more to make amlet and pasta to order, the pasta is decent
The territory is small, but well maintained
medium
Room cleaning, you need a dollar and persuasion, so that there are 2 large, 2 small towels and 1 towel under your feet to get out of the shower, the boy just can't understand that this is so, but it's like that everywhere in Egypt, we are overeager tourists for them, and so it will do
The beach itself is not particularly clean, but it is small, and therefore the sun beds are all covered with mattresses on top, which they cannot do in the Russian Federation, therefore it is very comfortable, and all umbrellas are serviceable
minuses
The local alcohol that you can drink is
The beer is super hot and there is alcohol there. Believe me!!!
Dry white wine with ice in the restaurant is good
Rum is the only strong alcohol that you can drink
You can't drink the rest!!!
And I don't recommend a pseudo-Indian restaurant for money:
Overcooked rubber squid
Shrimp are not cooked in a shell, they are cleaned, both intestines are removed and fried for 30 seconds in oil with spices, and not over-dried, this crap is not worth $ 60 for two.
And for the rest, I highly recommend it, in the Russian Federation it will be 2 times more expensive and without a coral reef
A wonderful hotel for a family holiday. The service is excellent: very tasty varied food, good alcohol, daily room cleaning, the attitude of the staff towards the guests is beyond praise. Special thanks to the animators Dasha, Yana and Zhenya, you did not let us get bored.
The territory is small, but very well maintained and clean.
The reef is normal, there are a lot of fish.
Ten days flew by like one, THANKS for the rest!
The room is dirty: (floors, towels,) no slippers, but after several days of shouting, they still cleaned the room and brought everything they ordered, the buffet is meager, there is little choice, but only free booze on the beach saved, in general, solid 3 balls can be put but not 5 as stated, you can still note a bad one the Internet will disappear, then it will not ship
A good hotel, the staff are all well done (cleaning, bar staff, driver to the beach (with a mustache)! The kitchen is excellent, simple and delicious!
Animation for three, it was boring! We need to work in this direction!
A hotel with a compact territory, a fairly strong inclination of the territory to the sea. For people with poor health, including musculoskeletal system, I do not recommend it. Excellent service in the main restaurant, at 5* in Turkey it is often much worse. Nice reef, lots of different fish
The hotel has good food, housekeeping, bars, excellent Wi-Fi everywhere on the beach, in the room and on site. There are three different pools, both large and cozy small ones.. Cons there are stairs going up the hill to the dining room everywhere. The sea the first line of 25 steps down to the sea is not very convenient. The food is good, but everything is very spicy. You can order room service for free. Minibuses will take you to the dining room and the beach if necessary. The sea is excellent and clean, although in April it was 18 to 29, the sea was cold.
While the memories are fresh, I decided to share my impressions about the hotel. We had a rest at the end of March.
Arrival. We were at the hotel at 9 a.m. A standard with a view of the pool was paid for (although any room there will look at it, since the pools are located at each building)). For $ 10, a sea view was added, in the calm 11th building)). They offer it without hesitation. We even managed to bargain. The room is great, everything works. Great beds. The linen was once new (it did not change in 10 days),slippers, shampoo-shower gel,hair dryer,dryer on the balcony and in the bathroom,TV (3-4 Russian channels),safe,2 waters,tea and coffee. They are cleaned every day, thoroughly. For a dollar, elephant monkeys and someone else are attached to the cleaning....
Food. The main restaurant is excellent. There is always a choice of dishes, they do not end. A lot of meat-fish in breadcrumbs ((, they definitely fry something with meat in front of you, pasta with sauces and filling to choose from, chicken, a couple of soups, side dishes, vegetables, a selection of cheeses, buns, desserts (we went)), fruits (no frills)). Everything is fresh.Coffee machine,tea,water,powdered juices. At lunch and dinner, the waiters bring beer, wine, and spirits. There are no queues, the waiters work quickly, everyone is smiling, positive (hi, how are you?))). They chose the second hall for themselves, as a quieter one. There were always places.
The rest of the food places are less positive. Pizza, burgers, French fries-for an amateur, a couple of salads and that's it. I didn't like the a la carte restaurant at all (dishes brought from the main restaurant + chicken and grilled kebab. The buffet. Meaning?)
The beach. There's a different format here. It's small. Tiered. Naturally, everyone tends to take places closer to the sea, so there is a rush on the first tier, with the second and third tiers half-empty (a distance of 5-10 meters). On the first tier, well, just rolled-up sun beds (sometimes you have to put 2 mattresses each so as not to fall through), above-new, mattress-free ones. The entrance to the sea from a pontoon, there is also a 2*2m coral-free entrance from the shore (waist-high maximum). The place for swimming from the pontoon is fenced with buoys and there is sooo not much of it. With a large influx of willing people, the number of legs is equal to the number of fish that are not scared away before the end. There are also traffic jams at the entrance and exit. But, since the work of rescuers in the hotel is two-handed (they are almost never in place), the people smoothly spread out behind the buoys. The reef is beautiful, there are fish.sometimes. sometimes stingrays, huge napoleons, turtles, who do not know what is going on here, "fly in" and quickly retreat. After 5 pm and all night (the pontoon is illuminated)-the wing show)). There is a bar with an efficient bartender. All the drinks are there. Hotel sellers of massage and water activities walk along the beach. Everything is very tactful, they can't stand the brain.
In general, I would like to note the work of the staff. Well done, everyone. Everything is very friendly. Baksheesh is not extorted by anyone, it always remains at your discretion.
80 percent of the vacationers are Russian-speaking, no difference in attitude towards the guests was noticed.
But those who are not good are the animators. Absolutely not a clear job. English speakers (Russian level come on). Exercise (at 10), darts (2 times), bocce (as it turns out), yoga (at 16), aqua aerobics (not sure). Everything is somehow without enthusiasm, from under the stick or something... In general, there is a shortage with coastal activities. Apparently, because of the lack of space)). There is a table tennis table, a small fitness room and two uphill roads from the beach to the main building. They don't work with children. Evening "shows" are not level 5* in any way. There is no disco (hallelujah!).
Conclusion. A hotel for a calm, measured rest. Young people will be bored. It's hard with small children. We managed to have a full rest, reboot. Therefore, a credit and gratitude to the hotel.
And yes, there was a late check-out on the last day. No one cut off the bracelet at 12, did not turn off the WiFi, did not pull a piece out of his mouth)).
Although not a solid five, but the hotel is good, the reef is very good. I took pictures of a lot of fish, including a huge Napoleon. Nutrition is very good for me, I love spicy food. The drinks are also good, the cocktails are strong, the beer is soft, the espresso is not even paid, and the one that is "exclusive" is also very good. Ice cream from the vending machine is served in two bars by the pools, not constantly, but for some hours a day, mango, strawberry. The rooms are cleaned, but of course they are waiting for tips. If you give a dollar, they will smile and wrap towels. We had to unwrap towels, and we didn't want to strain the employee, there was an elderly uncle, so they tipped us for all the days on the day of departure. I screwed up a little bit with the sea view. I expected that for 20 dollars they would give a good view of the sea, but really a decent view of the sea only from the 8th building closest to the sea, there are horse prices. The view of the sea from all other buildings is already deteriorating due to the 8th building and the previous ones. Even from the 3rd floor is not very good, although for the 3rd floor you have to pay extra for 15 dollars per day.. This point is important to me, I was upset. But at least they settled in quickly, arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m., check-in at 2 p.m., but they took into account my 20 dollars and settled in at 10 a.m. The beach is not wide, like the whole territory, but the reef is unlimited. Although the rescue guys whistle their whistles, but you can get out, my husband and I eventually explored the entire bay. A nice street with shops where you can take a walk in the evening. The evening show was good a couple of times with competitions, and so the usual Egyptian dances, songs, will do. About half of Russians and half of foreigners are Italians and Americans. The attitude towards Russians is of course a little worse than towards foreigners, but in general, the staff is friendly, many people speak Russian. We went on a free trip to the Sandy beach - it's a complete dilution, there's nothing to do there, spend the whole day in the heat without lunch, a beach like an urban paddling pool. Therefore, everyone had to take a taxi back 8-10 dollars. I had an application with a taxi, so they called for $ 4, left there for their excellent reef. The pools are very good, for every taste. A small slide of the water park, my husband got stuck there, but you fly up to 55 kg perfectly. On the plane, they give you a free sandwich and a glass of tea and coffee. Everything on top is expensive, 400 rubles a pack of chips. The inspection is annoying, in three places exactly in Egypt, especially when we left. The journey from and to Kazan eventually took 12 hours with all transfers. Although he will only go for 5 hours.
