I'll start with the fact that in Egypt more than 20 times. She was in expensive fives and middle fours, Sharm, Marsa Alam, Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh. Zahabia became my first trio. The choice fell on her, as she went for a long time, looking for a budget option. Also, one of the reasons why I chose Zakhabia is the availability of two-room rooms in the hotel. Traveled with a 7 year old child and husband.
1. Territory - very beautiful, green, many flowering trees. Gardener's work 5 points! Enough pools. There are slides for children and adults.
2. Number. When I checked in, I asked for a two-room room, although the standard was booked. I was given a great room overlooking the pool. The room even had a kitchen - a stove, a refrigerator with a freezer, dishes (pots, a frying pan). Very large bathroom. Plasma TV.
Friends arrived later. They had a standard number. Pretty big room, everything is new. They had a direct view of the sea.

3. Food. The issue of food was very disturbing when planning a trip. But everything was great! I don't know what else is needed. Breakfast - milk porridge, potatoes, stewed vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, cheeses, croissants, pastries. Lunch - soup (always delicious), pasta, rice, potatoes, beef, chicken, fish, many different vegetables. Dinner - two types of soup, pasta, rice, potatoes, beef, chicken, fish, liver, and sometimes even duck, jacket, vegetables, many different desserts - cakes, cookies, pastries. For dinner, almost always something was fried on the grill. Everything is always fresh. The child was always something to feed. In terms of food, no complaints at all. Sometimes the food was spicy. But we just talked about this to the restaurant manager and the situation was corrected. Fruit bought in the markets, they are very cheap. There were always delicious oranges in the restaurant. They even gave me watermelon!
4. Sea. Walk 400 meters to the sea. For me it was a pleasure. It might be difficult in hot weather. Although in many first-line hotels you also have to walk to the sea, sometimes more. Towels were provided on the beach. As many have already written here, there are 2 beaches. One is sandy. Very beautiful, with turquoise color of the sea and warm water. The second is coral. The coral is alive, beautiful, there are many living creatures. It was on the reef of Zakhabia that I, a sophisticated snorkeler, met three huge eagle rays right on the surface of the sea at once !!! ! I swam with them for about 10 minutes a meter away from them, circling in circles like in a round dance. It was something! There were also giant moray eels and barracudas, a lot of species of butterfly fish, stingrays. In the evenings in shallow water we watched small eagle rays. In a word, the reef is excellent. There are two negative points along the beach - I would like to clean the sand and oldish mattresses on the sunbeds more often.
5. Animation. I don't usually write about her. But she didn't stay here. The boy animator was very talented. He himself held fire shows and shows with glasses and swords. Shows were every day, even when there were few people in the hotel. There was also a mini disco for the kids.
6. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and helpful.
Would I come back - for sure!!!! ! Of course, if you want a crowd of people, this is not the place for you. This is a hotel for total relaxation. Home, now my favorite hotel. Zahabia, wait for me. I will definitely be back.
