Arrived at the hotel in the evening, settled quickly and sent for a late dinner. Standard room overlooking the beach and the sea. The advantages of the hotel, firstly, it is a beach, located in the Abu Dabbab bay, where turtles swim, you can swim with them all day long, there are corals and many fish, it is better to watch the fish closer to the Hilton hotel. Food is decent, fish day on Thursdays, grilled salmon, sushi, squid, salted fish. Every day fish, squid, chicken, beef, sometimes liver. Sweets are very diverse - both Egyptian, and with nuts in different variations, jellies, biscuits. Whole fruits were served - mango, pomegranate, figs, bananas, apple, grapes, guava, oranges.
A la carte restaurant on the beach - I strongly do not recommend visiting, because. this is the bottom of this hotel (no comments, there were continuous negative emotions)! Here the management just needs to work out the moment! The sea is certainly gorgeous, but constant winds and strong waves should be taken into account, so in winter it will be definitely uncomfortable, calm only in the mornings from 5 to 8, and even then not always, and once in the afternoon! There is a small water park on site. Wi-fi is free at the reception, it was enough to communicate via messengers and upload photos, the guide offers internet for $ 2.16 GB.
There is nowhere to go outside the hotel, for shopping lovers there is nothing to do here in Marsa Alam, everything is more expensive. There is a pharmacy on site, it is appropriate to bargain, the price is 2-5 times more expensive than in Hurghada or Sharm, it makes no sense to go to Port Ghalib, the prices are the same there, or even more expensive, plus a taxi from the hotel is not cheap, souvenirs (as well as teas and sweets), by the way, you can buy on the way back in duty free, prices are much cheaper than in hotels! Soap and shampoo are all in dispensers, so keep this in mind.
