I don’t know what will happen next with Egi, but we decided to go, and not just anywhere, but where we were - to compare. I have already written a detailed report on this hotel. The service suits us perfectly. In general, little has changed (even the old staff recognized us). Unless, the paths to the beach have already completely fallen into disrepair. They don’t check into rooms No. 4 (like they are renovating), but they check into new rooms No. 14 . . (I liked it very much! ), At the other end of the Diving Center, but on the way to the restaurant. The hotel is expanding…
But, these are all the details, the main impression is that the hotel is still beautiful, cozy, pleasant and the beaches are still extensive, and more corals have grown!
The kitchen is a German chef! There was almost no Arabic flavor left - even on the day of Arabic cuisine there were no honey sweets! But everything else is great! German meticulousness and thoroughness showed itself to the fullest. The chief did not hesitate to run out into the hall and constantly check whether everything was in order, controlled the process of “feeding”. The good news is that they started to cook the fish well! Something like a pangasius, without a vile smell and bones. All dishes (both meat and side dishes) were very well prepared. There were scrambled eggs and fried eggs. My favorite "pink" sauce also remained (only in this hotel - I recommend it! ). Balsamic vinegar and olive oil appeared (maybe it was before, but I didn’t notice). For dessert, not only cakes, but also wonderful mousses! Sweet rice porridge with candied fruit and raisins is a waste. It seems like a banal dish, but try it! And try "tyuryu" for the day of Arabic cuisine. "Tyurya" is, of course, not the national name of an Arab dish, in Russian cuisine in the old days there was something similar: like a bun in milk - sweet. Don't spit - it's unexpectedly delicious! Highly! There are not enough fruits (mostly fruit salads and guava), but somehow I didn’t feel like it... I caught up with dates (all sorts: fresh and dried).

There are no complaints about the kitchen, but there are some for myself - 3 kg was added. It hurts their bread is delicious and potatoes.
The main thing! BEACH and CORALS! Everything is in place! Even the nudist beach "Cleoptara" works. As I already noted - there are more corals - many small ones have grown over 4 years, almost to the very beach near the Diving Center. Therefore, there were no stingrays that used to lie on the sand near the surf line. And everything else is great!
All sorts of corals - and small "caps" in the shallows, and large "caps" and labyrinths and sheer walls! Different depth, which pleases. There is everything your heart desires! Sharm is resting.
And a lot of fish! Pantone has a bunch of "flutes", there were up to 30 pieces in one place! Huge! A lot of schooling fish - Red Sea telosurs, "kakul" (well, I don't know what, someone's young, from above like sharks - kakul, but harmless, voracious to the rolls), a lot of "surgeons" (Arabian, rhinos) - even rare ones (shy " orange-spiked hornbill fish)! Pleased me on the last day and my favorite magical blue color - "brown pseudobalicht". Aratrons, fish "butterflies" and angels, parrots are always full there! The young growth "bitten" me again by the ring! Gluttons. I will attach a photo of "spearfishing"! For snorkeling - perfect!
One "but" - it was very cold. The coldest run. Many vacationers got sick. It's hot in the sun - it's unbearably cold in the shade, just like on a pontoon - you crawl out after a 40-minute swim - the wind is crazy, "goosebumps" on the skin from a good hedgehog! Brrr. There was a red flag all the time. Before us, people said - there was a black one. Stormy. Only one day was without wind and the sea was perfectly smooth. In the evening - only in a warm jacket or windbreaker: it is cold after sunset. In general, after resting with uncontrollable swimming, I “rested” for another week on “sick leave” with bronchitis. People, remember that this will be the case until the summer - take care of your body, take a first aid kit.

But in general, of course, I don’t regret anything - I came off on the “spearfishing” to the fullest, got my “piece of happiness”, saw Egi (still I hope not for the last time) and I’m completely satisfied with everything! I recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday (all the entertainment, unfortunately, started at 22-00, and we were already sleeping, as we went swimming at 6 in the morning). I love this hotel. For swimming with a mask and an underwater camera - super!
