I will say the first impression: coronavirus? -No, I haven't heard! It was unbelievable that you can walk without masks. Masks could be used to identify people who arrived today: ) Staff every other time in masks or beards. However, there were days when the inspector went to the restaurant, perhaps a manager. Then everyone was very good at teaching, wiping and everyone was wearing masks.
The area is shared with the hotels Brayka bay and Royal brayka
The contingent is 80% Ukrainians. In the neighborhood, more foreigners. Mostly Czechs, because Marsa Alam has as many as 4 flights from different cities in the Czech Republic. We flew to Hurghada because the difference in price between Hurghada and a direct flight to Mars is $ 900.
The language is mostly English. Some service sellers are quite good at speaking Russian. It's very nice.
SETTLEMENT. We had a night flight, so we arrived at the hotel at 8:30 am. Paid $ 25 for early check-in.
TERRITORY. The infrastructure of the hotel does not pull 5 *. Everything is quite shabby. The hall is tiny, not air conditioned.
Wi-Fi in the lobby only, and it almost did not work. We always buy the cheapest SIM cards for water at the airport, then call the operator and order additional gigabytes (they are interested and offer more for less money than the package MB in the application).
But all this is offset by the efforts of staff. Everything is clean, absolutely perfect lawns, flowering shrubs and cacti, green palm trees.
There are ramps everywhere, which is relevant for families with toddlers in wheelchairs, as well as for people with disabilities.
Half of the hotel is uninhabited, one of the 4 descent pools, but there is a small water park with 3 slides.
It is better to use the pool for the youngest children in Brayka bay, because there is somehow cleaner and more water. And from the pool for schoolchildren, great, there were always a lot of children. A smooth event with marks up to 116 cm deep, it seems. Although, with such a perfect sunset at sea, I personally do not understand spending time in the pool. But everyone has their own.
NUMBER.
As far as I could tell, families with children were given rooms on the ground floor. It is very prudent and pleasant. Especially for those whose babies are still in strollers.
All standard. A full bed was delivered for a 3-year-old child. Although our friends put a little baby. There is very little space. There are very few bedside tables in the room. Everything from the suitcases could not be decomposed, there was constant chaos. Hangers pieces 10. From hygiene products-soap and shower gel in dispensers on the wall. There were 2 body lotions in tubes. I read about this nuance in the reviews took everything with me.
As for cleaning, the first week the guy cleaned Yasser, tried very hard, over the tip twisted elephant swans and gave extra water. However, she wiped the gunpowder from the tables every day, perhaps, if you pay attention, they would do the same. The next week the cleaner changed, for some reason he cleaned at 14-15 years old when his son was asleep. Therefore, all this was limited to throwing garbage and changing towels.
In fact, the room was not cleaned for the second week.
FOOD. Impressions are twofold. Everything was always fresh, almost no processed food from the previous meal. But how they managed to turn the veal on the slipper, dry the chicken and burn the grilled fish on the coals, I do not know. Perhaps they were afraid of undercooking, and therefore overdid it.
Of the disadvantages, the lack of water in small bottles. They only poured into glasses, which were sometimes poorly washed or dried and smelled.
I liked that the devices were packed in bags with a dry and wet wipe. And everyone was lined with paper plate holders.
It was impossible to eat for breakfast and lunch on the terrace of the restaurant due to the dominance of sparrows and crows. They did not hesitate to eat from plates when you just turn away. I do not know if this problem can be solved. However, in the evening the sparrows were gone, because the tables were busy and the whole terrace was crowded with people.
In the morning, the restaurant made fresh fruit for 2 €.
Every evening, a lady cooked on a stone palyanitsa with various Arabic spreads. The guys cooked stewed vegetables, risotto, grilled vegetables, in short, there was something new on the grill every day.
Hardware coffee in the morning and at the beach bar is quite unobtrusive. I didn't even take my own out of the suitcase, because I always take it with me. At lunch, however, the devices were not included and some kind of jug was poured.
Pasta, almost aldente, quite decent. Delicious cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, 3 different sauces, hot peppers, onions, tomatoes. You can choose from a wide variety of fillings.
Salads and individual products, and already mixed. There were always a choice of 4-6 sauces for every taste. Very tasty pasty feta cheese (sometimes with basil), incredibly fragrant tomatoes, just like our Kherson in August.
Always served potatoes in different forms (puree, however, was only twice, but I took the roast and crumpled with a fork for a child, asked for a piece of oil on the Pasta corner)
In the afternoon, french fries with ketchup. We went to take on Brayka bay, although it is not allowed to use the bars and restaurants of various hotels. I saw how our bar did not want to serve tourists from Brayka. But on the 2nd floor above the restaurant there was also a snack bar, just walk far from the beach.
In short, the choice is good, as for Egypt.
Sweet and normal, I was too nauseous, a little monotonous. But for dinner there were always fresh shortbread and butter cookies, as well as baklava. In the morning, fresh halva and croissants.
A big plus, absolutely all seasonal fruits were served: honey melons, watermelons, dates, physalis, bananas, oranges, grapefruits, pamelo.
Beach. SEA.
This is an almost perfect place. Ebbs occur, for 14 days were before noon, and after, and at night. But there is still water in the lagoon. Perfect floodplain for children.
However, in the evening the water was quite muddy, because a lot of people from both hotels. With pontoon-class reef. In principle, the reef began almost from the lagoon, but already half-dead, the closer to the pontoon and further, the more alive and beautiful. It's just a hobby. There are few fish, but very diverse. For the first time in 6 times in Egypt I saw a giant turtle and a 2-meter moray eel. Sea of stingrays, lionfish, many other predatory and peaceful fish species. Is it a thrill? ? ? ?
Even in the storm they did not hang a red flag, in the Nabq bay hotels in Sharm half of the rest at the same waves hung a red flag and swimming from the pontoon was not allowed.
On the beach, rolled up sunbeds, but the mattresses are beautiful foam, towels are brand new, give cleaners.
We occupied the most ideal place on the beach under the palm trees. Occupied at 5:30-6:00 in the morning. Although there is enough space, there were always free sunbeds, but a lot of people from Brayka bay went to our beach.
One night there was a paid disco for $ 5.
However, in order to gather people, they postponed it for 4 days. There was a fire show, a foam party. It is worth leaving, everyone was happy as children with that foam, including kids.
PERSONNEL. They try very hard. After the shower, the hose was replaced within an hour. Locked safe, quickly repaired, replaced batteries. The castle swayed in the balcony door, repaired during the day.
However, they didn't really want to help with recharging the phone. As a result, we asked masseur Ahmed to top up our phone, because for some reason we couldn't do it, and the sellers in the store asked for $ 55 instead of the real $ 30. In general, prices are much higher than in Sharm or Hurghada. Massages can be traded.
SERVICES. I advise you to take a hammam at the Brayka Bay Hotel. There, the wellness center is cleaner and nicer.
We went to Marsa Alam to buy for $ 5 in both directions. There he met us a la guide and took us to his retractable shops and pharmacies.
Only there to go even further, because through the territory of Brayka Bay. There's snow-white sand.
We found huge shells, dragged them to us on the beach, everyone ate where you can buy them) We went there early in the morning, when it was a little gloomy. Because there is a desert, terrible heat. Sometimes, Bedouins sell bracelets there. It is worth taking something from food, because those children are so unhappy (
In short, the hotel approx. We are aiming for a few more hotels, otherwise we would definitely come back here.
