In Egypt, many times I don’t even remember how many! Rested 2 families relatives and friends. We chose Siva Port Ghalib 5 * because we had not yet been to these places and, most importantly, because of the desire to visit Aswan Abu Simbel. We drove from Hurghada a little less than 3 hours. Regarding the hotel: they settled us immediately upon arrival. the rooms are good, although not brand new (I think that everything was great in the early years), food, service, solving any problems (for example, a sea urchin pricked) - ALL at the TOP LEVEL. The administrators are very nice and funny people. The contingent of vacationers is Europeans, and therefore the priority is English (for those who do not know, it is difficult to express themselves). The sea was disappointing at first, because it was stormy for 7 days and a red flag was hung on the pier, meaning swimming is prohibited, waves and currents - therefore, those who are afraid of the depth and swim poorly will not be comfortable. There is an entrance from the shore, but only in shoes: there are a lot of corals and stones, and at low tide (which is typical of this area) sea urchins and other living creatures are visible, which there is nothing to stumble upon (we got out of the situation - we were looking for lagoons in which we lay on the waves). When the wind stopped (on day 8) and it became calm, then of course, the reef conquers and all the negativity disappears: a few colored corals, fish, turtles, moray eels, etc. in the form of swaying ships going out to sea during the wind and waves, they themselves were stormy). In general, with a positive attitude, you try to turn the minuses into pluses, which we succeeded with honors. I also liked the fact that there is a promenade with cafes and shops (the prices are loyal, I support that it is better to change money for pounds, because enterprising Egyptians round everything in dollars and count in their favor, up to 20 dollars). Well, about the hotel animation - we saw this much better, although there seems to be a standard set of entertainment, the guys organize something, but somehow it didn’t catch on (beach parties are twice paid, there is no disco, it’s boring for young people, from 22.00 everyone hangs out at the bars, at the reception (wi-fi is excellent) or on sunbeds, because there is not enough space for everyone at the bars on the street - the hotel is very crowded with vacationers).
