Отличный отель, лучше многих пятерок в Египте Great hotel, better than many fives in Egypt

New Year was celebrated in this hotel and, as it turned out, it was the best decision. We flew through Hurghada and then a transfer of 3.5 hours from the airport to the hotel. The ride was comfortable and didn't feel long. There are direct flights to Marsa Alam from Kyiv, if it is still difficult for anyone. We checked into the hotel in the morning at 9 o'clock. We were settled immediately. The room is large, partly overlooking the sea (although the ticket was indicated on the garden). Everything worked, there were no comments, very clean, snow-white towels (cleaning and change of towels every day). When we checked in, we did not pay extra, there were no hints of money, as is often the case in Egypt. The staff is very friendly, warmly welcome, attentive to all questions and wishes of vacationers. The contingent of vacationers is mainly Europeans, but there were also Ukrainians.
As for the restaurant, the food was excellent, varied and tasty, and the New Year's Eve dinner was generally impressive with its range of dishes! For a week of rest, they cooked crabs on the grill 2 times, 2 times baked duck, quail once and every day beef, chicken and fish cooked in different ways. Since the owner of the hotel is Italian and many Italians were resting in the hotel, every day for lunch and dinner the Italian chef cooked pasta with different sauces. Also a wide variety of vegetables, salads, herbs. Of the fruits, there were guava, baby bananas, tangerines, strawberries, watermelons, dates, grapes, and even physalis, probably (we could not identify these yellow berries for sure). There was always enough food, even if you came to the restaurant half an hour before the end of lunch / dinner.
The sea is shallow right off the coast, so a long pontoon is installed. From the pontoon you immediately go down to a great depth and see the whole underwater world and unreal sea beauties. If you can't swim, you can use a life jacket for free. Also, those who wish are given free glasses and tubes. I recommend that you immediately stock up on a mask (with a built-in tube) for the whole face or buy it in a store there, it is much more convenient in such a mask. It is also advisable to take rag gloves with you from home, so that it is convenient to hold onto the ladder when descending into the water or be very careful (a lot of shells caught on and you can injure your hand). Mosquitoes were not seen at all. For such a low cost of the tour, we did not even expect that a vacation could be so good! In general, I recommend the hotel, there were only positive emotions from the rest, I want to return there again. I wish you the same!
