This hotel and time of rest were chosen because of the rather low price. For 2 weeks they paid $ 1200 for two (at that time Russia had not yet flown). Therefore, all other shortcomings could be easily compensated for by a more than reasonable price.
At the airport, representatives of the annex made good money on the plane, selling 15 dollar visas at 17 dollars, taking advantage of the illiteracy of tourists. Visas are sold in the same arrivals hall at the counters at the entrance.
The stay at the hotel was excellent. At 11 o'clock in the morning everyone was already given numbers. The vast majority of the hotel staff were extremely polite, attentive and accommodating.
The first week was a bit spoiled by bad weather. It was quite windy, the air did not warm up above 24 degrees even in the afternoon. The sea was muddy and not very warm as for me (20 degrees). Few were swimming in the sea. But the second week pleased with good weather, warm windless sea.
About the sea. The sea is very shallow. To go waist-deep you have to walk 100-150 meters. But for small children it is +. Along the line of buoys there is a dead coral overgrown with algae, with separate bushes of live corals. At low tide, there is waist-deep, and even novice divers can swim with a mask. It is better to swim before high tide, in the first half of the day, when the water is not yet cloudy. Those who have been to Sharm will certainly be disappointed with the water world, but you can also see some of the inhabitants of the Red Sea here. Of those whom I know, I saw a fairly large white moray eel (up to 1 m), although it is not at all aggressive and hides in corals itself, constantly came across rays up to 0.5 m in diameter (usually sitting under a canopy of coral), butterfly fish (very poisonous fish), a very interesting cuttlefish and a lot of other small, not very diverse fish that constantly tried to bite when you were standing near their territory.
Anyone who knows how to swim can swim across to the spit, and if you swim at the sunset of the beach, then this is 100 meters of deep water, and if you go to the left, at the end of the beach, the swim will be significantly shortened, there is another intermediate wide spit, and you will have to swim meters along 10-15. By the way, there we saw a huge, more than 1.5 m in diameter, blue stingray that swam under us at a shallow depth. Both fascinating and scary at the same time.
Next comes a wide spit and not one, with knee-deep depth, which ends with quite beautiful corals with many fish. We saw blue angelfish there all the time. Several times we saw splashes of some huge fish obliquely, which was clearly hunting for small things, which did not give much enthusiasm in further diving and swimming (remembering last year's sharks in Sharm). We constantly found large trepangs (clams) weighing 10 kg each.
What I didn’t like on the beach: it was the constant pestering of boys-masseurs and guides, worse than annoying flies. I liked the trip on the yacht along the coral islands, BUT for two we paid $ 40 and it seems to me that it could be even lower - $ 35, do not overpay the extra money. Foreigners are bred for 30 euros for one. There is no fishing at all, feeding the Napoleon fish, which they show everyone in the photo and swimming with dolphins, too. This is all blatant deception. Do not give money in advance as a deposit, they will not be returned to you later. Otherwise, you can have a nice walk on a yacht. By the way, at the end of the beach, there is a small yacht, on which for $ 5 you will be transported by sea and local coral attractions for half a day. Go to the end of the beach and negotiate with the local guys there.
In hotel shops you can buy interesting wooden souvenirs (masks, figurines), beautiful carpets. By the way, they brought a 2 * 3m carpet home without any problems. He folded into a suitcase. Very pleased. But bargain everywhere. -50% of the price is easy.
The hotel was half empty at the time. Poles, Germans, Balts had a rest. The beach was free almost all the time. The beauty. Mostly people crowded around the pools. Why go to the Red Sea to sit by the pool? I do not understand.
I won’t say that the food is varied, but you can always find something. And especially in the spring, when we don’t have any vitamins, and there are all sorts of fresh salads. There were very tasty grapefruits. The rest of the fruits are the same. With food at that time, they frankly saved money, but this can be explained by the price that the hotel offered for their vacation. Weak were sweet dishes. Many hotels were closed, the neighboring Festival was closed, on the right, some azur served 10 tourists.
Wrote a lot, there will be questions, ready to answer.
Rest, as their hotel was satisfied
