We went at the end of December for the first time abroad on vacation with my husband and teenage son. Initially, I only wanted to go there, after reading reviews, so I deliberately looked for a burning one and only in Leila.
Beginners, apparently, are really lucky: they were lucky with the weather, on the last day, or rather the night, they observed a thunderstorm, which is very rare for Egypt, but for us this is just a good sign.
We traveled by transfer from Moscow, thank God the weather disasters in Moscow did not affect us either, we got back without delays and tedious waiting at the airport.
We invested $ 10 at the reception and asked to be settled in a quiet place on the second floor without mosquitoes. Which we got. Overlooking the unheated pool, so during the day it was deserted.
In the room - silent refrigerator (for me it is important), hair dryer. In principle, we only came there to sleep and change clothes. They cleaned and changed the bed daily, discreetly and without baksheesh. Once at the end only a dollar was left on the floor. 12 bottles of water were placed in the refrigerator daily. Small bills left in the room on the table did not disappear on the shelf. In general, I have not heard from anyone that anything was missing in Leila.
Regarding the noise from aircraft, which I read about in the reviews of others, it did not bother me at all, especially at night. Two evenings, at the beginning of the rest and before the thunderstorm, there were mosquitoes on the street, they bit the reptile a little and the bites still itch, but we ourselves are to blame - there is nothing to sit naked on the street.
During the day, the son mostly spent time at the main warm pool, where he had a bunch of friends and they swam, then played golf, tennis and table football. In the evening, by the way, too, then tennis, then they will go to the animation. The main thing is to immediately find out where and how you can eat and refresh yourself between lunches and dinners. The children themselves went to take ice cream, then cocktails, then pizza. In general, we practically did not see our son. I really liked the food, there is always something to choose, in the evenings we liked to run between restaurants, take the dishes that we liked. We fell at the end either in a sinbad on the street, drinking cocktails, my husband - rum, or at a disco (I don’t even know the name of this place), it works until 2.
We were also on an evening safari (quad bikes are super), do not rush to immediately order from the Tez-tour, they are much more expensive, locals go to the beach, I recommend a local Negro named Akhmedushka. 2 times cheaper plus free arafatki. There is nothing terrible in this excursion, I got tremendous pleasure without driving experience. Interestingly and have bidouins. In addition, my husband went to Cairo, here we no longer saved and ordered from the Tez-tour. In general, he liked it, but the trip was tiring, we went to the nearby Jungle Hotel to the water park, went down on the bathyscaphe.
By the way, in Dana Beach, to the beach of which we belong, we swam in their pools with slides, played tennis, rode a ferry and catamarans, naturally for free.
I know that many of the vacationers from Leila do not know about it. I am sure that if I wanted to, I could eat and drink there without any problems.
What else is interesting: in Sinbad itself, a hookah (or shisha in their language) costs 3 dollars, but if you borrow, saying that you don’t have money with you, then you have to pay not at the reception, then less than 2 dollars.
They got to Hurghada on local minivans, you drive up to Dana in Leylov, ask them to stop at the gate, go to the road and vote. And it won’t take a minute for someone to stop, then bargain and go either to McDonald’s or to Karkusha (a local store with fixed prices for knitwear, towels, bedspreads. There is also a sea of shops nearby where you need to drop prices until you’re blue in the face, because there were no problems with the language: something in English, something in Russian, something on the fingers, you can understand each other if you wish.
There are many foreigners in the hotel: of course, most of all Germans, but there were also Italians and French. Which personally made me immensely happy. I've seen enough of the Russians breaking away, not knowing the measure in anything. It's a shame that because of these, there is a misconception among foreigners about the Slavs.
Separate greetings to the company of three families who got drunk even before leaving Minsk for Moscow, among them there was one couple whose names I remember: Zykina from Perm and Shashok from Minsk. who fought for 14 hours, cursed, tried to pee and burp in the aisle, etc. It's a shame that no one tried to stop them or throw them out of the bus.
In addition to mosquitoes and this company, not a single cloud marred our vacation. I recommend this hotel to everyone. And have a nice holiday!! !
