Не актуальный отзыв про Солимар Not an actual review about Solymar

Hotel Sol Y Mar Abu Dabbab (Sol and Mar Abu Dabbab) was renamed, but for me it remained exactly Solymar.
I can't understand (or remember) why I didn't write anything about this hotel. The impressions are the most pleasant. I don’t really remember the details, the main thing is that I don’t remember the discomfort!
Except for the strong wind, against which the fences on the beach did not help. It was cold, so they allocated funds for the rental of a wetsuit. In addition, it was a protection from some micro-jellyfish (I didn’t see them), which stung me a lot (then rescuers on the beach smeared me with cream). But, this is not the main thing!
The main thing is that the hotel is located in the bay-reserve of Abu Dabab! And this is happiness! And a great birthday present!

I wanted to go to this hotel when we were brought to the bay on an excursion from another hotel (Resta Reef) - the bay struck me and I was stunned by the diversity of the underwater world! And when a turtle pooped on me (I almost swept on it) - I wanted to live here! Very very! Daily snorkeling in paradise! OOO!
But, our tour guide guys said that our people are not allowed into Solymar, it is only for Western Europe. It angered me. And although the Hilton hotel is nearby, “personal hostility” to Paris : ) prevented me from considering this option (and it seemed to me that it was far from the center of the reserve, which is not at all true).
"Only Solymar" I nudela incessantly! It was the time, so to speak, of the “regime” : ), when citizens with an average income “had money” (already 1600 greenbacks! ). And when we found out - that it is possible in Solymar (more expensive than in the Hilton) - I said “take it”! I boiled and gurgled with happiness - the dream came true! True, now I can confidently say that I have never been to the famous Hilton hotel chain... and I’m unlikely to be (I forgave Paris : ), unlike her grandfather)... but this is the second question. Although it's a shame after years : ).
Of course, it’s far to get there....they didn’t fly to Marsa Alam from Kyiv....but where they flew from - now there is no airport and it will not be known whether... From Hurghada we went on small buses and I was sick (water with lemon just needed).
But, having arrived, we settled down with conveniences and there were only 4 people from the Russian-speaking people, not counting us. So everything was nice, because the German pensioners didn't get rowdy.
The most important thing is the SEA and the BEACH!
The beach is sandy and entry into the water is convenient. And right next to it, a wall of coral begins (on the right) and in a straight line - “fields” with algae where large turtles feed! Everything is very convenient - the depth is not immediately and not strong. The fish are just incredible!

And on the last day, we were still lucky: a dugong swam up and fed for a long time next to the turtles. Then he quickly turned in place in the sand to throw off the fish that stuck and disappeared at great speed. Now I tell everyone that I saw not a sea cow, but a mermaid! : ). It was not possible to take photographs of the dugong - the weather conditions in winter are still not very good, and the sand is cloudy. But, other living creatures of the photo are in abundance (not all of them are of good quality, but I chose a better one).
As a conclusion: more beautiful than the sea and more convenient than the beach in the complex, I have not yet met better.
Well, since the review is belated (much has been forgotten), I stop talking and invite you to admire the photos taken on this trip.
