We rested in Kalimera for 10 days from September 26 to October 5. For its 4 stars the hotel is good. Of course there are cons, but there are many more pluses. First of all, Kalimera struck with a huge number of plants. For Egypt, just a stunningly green hotel, a real botanical garden. But, as you know, in Egypt, in many hotels, plants are watered with purified sewage water. Kalimera is no exception. In short, there is an unpleasant smell. In the beginning, when I got to the territory, I was somewhat shocked by the smell, but then I got used to it over time and somehow didn’t notice it.
I will write about the sea. Yes, the sea is problematic. Small fry 300 meters, which is completely exposed at low tide. Entry to relative depth from the pontoon. I can’t say that all this was very stressful. At first, it was even interesting that the sea is so different - either tides, then ebbs, that is, water, then it is not. You can swim both in the shallows and in the depths, there are some corals. My friend snorkeled every day and didn't complain about the lack of corals. So the underwater world is present in Kalimera.
Number fund. As you know, in Kalimera rooms are provided in bungalows, villas and the main building. To get a good room in a bungalow, close to the sea, we paid 20 bucks to the reception. We were given two rooms to choose from. One on the left side on the second floor, the other on the right side on the first floor. We chose the right side of the first floor, because. the right side is less sunny. The room was good, with a balcony, everything worked. The furniture is a little old, but not critical. Great corner bathroom! There is no shampoo, there is only liquid soap in dispensers, the same for both hands and body.
About food. The food in Kalimera is generally good. But breakfasts are monotonous: vegetables, eggs in various variations, buns, cheese, cottage cheese, porridge, toasts, jams, tea, coffee. Sometimes there are pancakes and waffles. No fruit for breakfast. For lunch and dinner there are always meat, fish and chicken. Side dishes include rice and french fries. Completely edible salads, delicious sauces for them. There are normal mayonnaise and ketchup. Of the fruits were: green melon (not very tasty), small bananas, dates, grapes (bad, in bulk, we did not eat it), grapefruits, guava, figs and persimmons (not every day). Unfortunately, not once in 10 days did they give a watermelon. It's even strange, in September-October there should be watermelons. I liked that in Kalimera they give ice cream without restrictions to both adults and children. There are several types of it, the taste is quite natural. I really liked the mango (yellow) and strawberry (pink). The main restaurant has coffee and tea only for breakfast. But you can take coffee and tea in the Obelisk bar (in the hotel lobby). We used to take a cappuccino (very tasty).
As for beach towels. They can be taken on a deposit of $ 8 for one towel. On the last day, you hand over the cards and the money is returned. You can change towels for clean ones only once every three days. It is not very convenient that you have to carry towels to the room every time. But in Kalimera there is such a system, they save water.
About water. Bottled water is not brought to the room. Water must be taken from the cooler, which is located in the common corridor, the room even has a special water tank.
About animation. Kalimera has an excellent theater (the building itself), it is well equipped, it has a sufficient number of seats. But terrible, just no animation team. This is the worst thing I've seen, they don't even try, the impression is that they just came to hang out. In general, animation for two points.
Information for those with a late flight. Bracelets in Kalimera are not cut off. At 12 you vacate the room, hand over the keys, and the bracelets are left for you, and you can use all the services of the hotel. There is no particular point in extending the number, because. the hotel provides another room (for about an hour) so you can shower and change before you leave.
In general, despite the shortcomings, the hotel made a good impression. If we compare it with Palm Beach (they are on the same level), then Kalimera seemed to me warmer in terms of atmosphere. Kalimera - she is so homely and cozy, and all her shortcomings are not critical.
