in order from the airport 2 hours drive after 4 hours of flight was tiring arrived somewhere around 2210 but we were offered dinner.
for information, the hotel is divided into 2 parts. Beach is on the sea and Resort is behind the road, this was the first disappointment, because when choosing a hotel they looked exactly at living right on the sea, but we were settled behind the road. .
There are no Russian-speaking staff!! ! Russian-speaking vacationers, in principle, too, if the second one even pleased us, then the problems arose often with the first one))) but this is a conclusion for yourself, learn the language)))
The room is spacious with a view of the sea, but the water from under the sink flowed constantly and from the toilet, which also interfered with sleep a little! The air conditioner was noisy at night so as not to interfere, but sometimes they woke up and turned it on due to the heat. % of everything that happens in the corridor. One of the minuses is that at 5:30 the traffic began and the trucks worked like an alarm clock with their roar, but I just woke up at that time and went to the beach for training.
Swimming is only from the pier, so 240 m of the beach, as it is written, is only for wet feet. Swimming from the shore is prohibited, and swimming at the pier is not convenient for everyone. besides, because of the reef, there is a constant wave and sometimes a red flag is hung as on the first day and it is forbidden to swim at all !!!!!
and you can’t run into the second beach either, and of the amenities, only sun loungers and umbrellas are not enough for everyone. The playground is small and we generally concluded that it’s good that we didn’t go with children, since it’s inconvenient to swim and there’s especially nowhere to play except in the bossaine. This is me for general information. Now for the pros
The room is spacious and bright with a balcony. The bed is large and comfortable. Cleaning and replacement of towels and linen are cleaned quickly and well every day. The territory is very green and well-groomed. Almost all the photos on our camera are palm trees and flowers with cacti. Carals are super fish I saw a lot of stingray, octopus and moray eel on the second beach))) Even my wife is not a very swimmer wearing a mask and is delighted with so many fish and caral flowers.
More information near the hotel 3-4 souvenir shops one of the sellers understands Russian but is a rare asshole Offered papyrus 3 pieces for 120 ye when I said that I know the price for them, I began to swear and we didn’t approach them anymore. 7 km there is a city they take a bus 2 times a day, the cost is 3.5 ye per person, you can buy everything there at a normal price.
Yes, and the absence of Russian-speaking vacationers turned out to be even a plus, since no one booze and yelled))) so in general, REST turned out to be ignored. And the week was just great !!!! .
I liked the food - quite varied, dinner - the choice is generally excellent - and the grill, and vegetables such as artichokes, and a lot of fruits, and desserts, the cuisine is biased towards Italian.
Minuses:
- Bicycles are old, for example one of ours is broken
- Not a very large territory of the hotel (but nice and well-groomed)
- in general, there is no entertainment except for the hotel - the hotel is in the desert : )
- they strive to settle in a building that is across the road and demand an additional payment for relocation (everything is officially, by the way, like this is booked, and if you pay for the move, then this is not for the Arabs themselves, but for the hotel cashier)
- few people speak Russian in the hotel (it was good for us, but some Russians were worried)
There was an unpleasant incident - moreover, due to the mutual fault of the staff and us - when we came to the show in the evening with our beer (we knew that restaurants, bars, discos were not allowed, but somehow we didn’t think about the show... ). When we finished it, they wanted to fine it - but we didn’t agree, because we weren’t warned in advance, we didn’t know that it wasn’t allowed on the show either - and if we had been warned, we would certainly have poured it! - the disassembly of this incident went on for an incredibly long time, everyone, from the waiter to the manager, was persuaded to sign the check and pay, but we did not (they persuaded very correctly, by the way... politely negotiated, argued, we did too... ). Not because of money, but because of the principle - it is necessary to warn...
In general, I summarize - if as a relaxing holiday, with diving, snorkeling, lying by the sea, good food - this place is great!! ! If for a fun party - perhaps you need something else . . But for me, tired of the hustle and bustle - you can’t imagine better! : )
