Late check-in and check-out and where is the best place to buy a snorkel boat
Hello!
We are going to Dana in the middle of January.
Arrival VERY late (at night) and departure VERY late (in the evening).
What is the best way to deal with this situation? Is it possible at the reception to agree upon arrival to replace the lunch-dinner lost during the check-in with the same but at the end of the check-out and is it worth paying for it? Or give baksheesh? Heard there is an official fee - like $25?
And the second part of the question.
I heard that there are no corals. We plan to ride a boat and walk along the coast for snorkeling. Where do you advise? Of course, in order not to be taken to the shark's lair with a scattering of carcasses of rams (in the form of Rousseau tourist) for feeding.

We had a departure at 20:00, the room must be taken at 12:00. The night before, we asked the receptionist to extend the number for us, no problem, we paid an additional 20.00 euros and until 18:00 the number was extended, while they give 1 more electronic key to the room for the duration of the extension. Actually, we didn’t need to until 18:00, because the bus to the airport picked us up at 16:45. Nobody cuts bracelets, you can use all AL. Our buddies did not renew the room, all things were moved to our room and they also used all AL.
Well, somehow you put it this way: a lost lunch-dinner, which means lost, if you have a late arrival, then there is, as it were, no lunch-dinner at all. You start using all the services of the hotel only when you arrive at it, and no matter how early.
And on the day of departure, do not worry, you will use everything until you board the bus.
Well, yes, the reef there, of course, is rather poor. Take an excursion to the Sharm el Naga reserve, there is an amazing place and fish .... the sea.

Thank you.
And where else can you go for fish besides Sharm el Naga? it would be ideal to go 5 times - in principle, you can repeat one place 2 times.

Sellers of various excursions will walk along the beach, see what they have. The hotel's aqua center also has various excursions, we took a boat trip: 4 reefs + a paradise island. Bargained for 35.00 euros per person. Walk for the whole day, along with lunch.
And we took the Sharm el Naga tour 3 times.
See what you tour.about. will offer...
We took another tour with dolphins, + 3 reefs, one of them in the blue lagoon.

Thank you. As I understand it, the hotel prefers euros (last year in Sharm they preferred dollars)?

hessen, a question for you: how much does an excursion to this reserve cost and how long does it take to get to it from Dana? What is a Dolphin Tour?

An excursion to the reserve costs 25.00 euros from a local company, but in German. BUT! When we were there for the first time, at first we were alone there, then another group of our Russian speakers arrived, I don’t know exactly where they took this excursion, well, you can probably find out somehow, somewhere already answered this question.
We were picked up from the hotel in a small bus, like a minibus, to go for 30-40 minutes, first along a good road, and then a little bit over gravel, but it's not so scary.
We took the Dolphin Tour there. This is a trip to the sea, first to the reefs, then to the dolphins. Initially, 4 reefs were planned, but there was not enough time for everything.
In order: having made 2 stops and reefs, we swam to the dolphins, it was great! We, the tourists, were asked what we want more: to watch the dolphins or swim to the reefs, everyone answered that it was better to stay with the dolphins, and so it was done. Well, then at the end, we swam to the 3rd reef.

I understand that you did not swim with dolphins, but only watched them? Did you also look at the reefs from the boat?

You understood correctly, I didn’t swim with dolphins, other tourists, experienced and with instructors, swam. This is not for beginners like me. Dolphins do not stand still and do not wait for me to swim up to them.
On the reefs of the stop, you can swim with an instructor and a group, or you can just watch the fish near the boat without swimming far. Here is option 2 - it was my option and for a couple of people who put on a mask for the "first" time in their lives.
