Not for those who like to swim

Hotels are different. Paradise, in which Teztur settled us, is not the best, but not the worst, you can live if you went to breathe in the sea breeze and soak your feet in some water or, as some of those who wrote the review, "eat great cakes" and especially without pretensions. In this hotel, the entrance to the sea consists of a coral reef and a ton of urchins, and NO slippers will save you! SWIMMING normally IS IMPOSSIBLE, even if you go for one or two kilometers (we walked and searched, there is nothing else to do there)... Teztur did not warn about this.
I think that those who, like me, are not the first time on vacation in Egypt, go MAINLY to SWIMMING in the Red Sea. Personally, I, like five of my friends, managed to do this twice for very extra money: one a day trip from Hamata (port) on a boat (super), cost 70 bucks, and privately cooperating with Mademoiselle either Sasha or Ira for 20 bucks plus payment for equipment (as it turned out, an unobtrusive Russian business, but thanks to her for that too - everything ended well) somewhere not far away 10 km from Marsa Alam (the beach and reefs are super).
GIRLS TOURISTS, who are the same candy wrapper to the beauties of the Red Sea, find out if it is possible to swim directly from the beach in your hotel, so that there would be no such disappointment. Lovers of splashing in knee-deep water at the Paradise Hotel will not succeed either. By the way, how many stars are there, I never found out, it was promised 5... As far as I know, on the same coast where there is a similar situation with entering the sea (from conversations with tourists from other hotels on a trip from Hamata to the islands), bus trips were organized where for a fee, where for free, but the hotel administration (reception) and the representative of Teztur answered the vital question: the first ones do not speak Russian, and the second said, that this is not within his competence....Roulette gentlemen tourists...
