So ended 2 amazing weeks of vacation. And I really wanted to make a detailed report about our stay at the hotel, about excursions, and just share photos. There is not enough time and energy to tell everyone verbally in detail, so it’s easier to write once and give a link to this message to everyone interested.
I'll start over. The ticket was bought in advance in the company Tourskidki. RU. Period of stay May 12-May 26. Vim Avia flew back UT air there, both flights on a Boeing 757. The food on board was not tasty. But the flight is charter and it seems that one of the cheapest, in principle, we did not go hungry, we took chips with us : )
I was told how to behave upon arrival at work. All then went straight to the counters of their tour operators, they were selling a visa at a price "who is what much. " From our operator there were 2 counters, in one they sold a visa for $ 17, in the second for $ 22. And next to it, in the counter with the name Bank, airport employees sold the same thing for 15 bucks.
The meeting party was Anex Tour. Shit office is still the same. We were in Egypt for the first time, and before that we were in Turkey 6 times, and so that the accompanying guide does not go with his tourists to the hotel - this is the first time with me. Yes, and it was not a dipped beam to go - almost 250 km from Hurghada, almost 3 hours on the road. And there were about 10 of us on the bus, and everyone went to Egypt for the first time. The Arab driver did not speak Russian, and English was only at the level of "OK? " - "OK! " Therefore, we were shocked when things were tied to the roof of the minibus, and we were sent to who knows where, who knows who for the night looking. As a result, no one went to our Resta Reef Resort except my husband and I, the rest went on. Finally, before boarding the bus, we were given the phone number of the guide, who could be called in case of problems and be sure to call the day before departure so that they would not forget to pick us up. In such a state of shock, we drove on.
We arrived at the hotel at 22-50 local time and at 0-50 Moscow time.
I was pleased that there was a Russian girl Svetlana at the Reception, and I didn’t have to explain myself with her fingers. They were already waiting for us, they knew us by name, they asked us to leave our passport and luggage at the check-in desk and sent us to eat. Although dinner is officially until 22-30, they did not close the restaurant, because they knew that the tourists would arrive late. Then it turned out that the so-called La casa bar is still working nearby, where you can eat and drink on an all-inclusive basis until 24-00.
After dinner we were settled in room 2212, overlooking the garden. Room on the 3rd floor of a 3-storey building. As a result, there were 2 complaints about the room: the air conditioner was not charged, it worked only as a fan. But it was like that for almost everyone, they slept with an open balcony and did not break off. And then the sprayer at the shower broke down, and water flowed through the hose, but also did not steam. And so, without any money, they settled down very remarkably. The receptionist brought our bags to the room, chatted to us very politely in English.
He showed everything, even the Russian channel immediately turned on the TV, gave a piece of paper with a schedule of events on the all-inclusive system and bowed out. He did not squeeze tips, but we gave him 1 buck ourselves. He smiled, thanked and left.
The territory is well-groomed, the plants are watered around the clock. Everything is in bloom, cleanliness and order. Local birds resembling white herons roam the lawns importantly. Probably an Egyptian ibis
There will be pools in the pictures, I’ll immediately say that in one (which with a bar) the depth is 140cm, in the second (with a children’s area) 130cm, the children’s area is knee-deep for an adult. The temperature was 28 degrees in both pools, 27 in the sea. You can swim in the pool from 8 am to 20 pm, then they threw chemistry. There were enough people who liked to sit in the pool ...strange people ...when the Red Sea was nearby!
Let's go to the restaurant
There were 2 restaurants nearby, one main, the second - Lacasa bar where you could probably eat from 15 hours. It was open until 24 on an all-inclusive basis.
The first time I encountered the fact that the waiter himself brings alcohol. You sit down at the table, take food from the buffet, and they bring you drinks, making sure that the glass is not empty. It was really nice to get that kind of attention. The drinks were good as was the food. Everything was delicious, although locally produced. Bottled beer - Stella, opened in front of you. If you took a gin and tonic, then the tonic was Everves, they also opened a can of 0.33 in front of you. In general, I did not even expect this. This was not the case in Turkey.
The food was amazing. In the morning - a variety of pastries, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs from the chef who cooked for you. From fruits they gave: dates, apples, watermelons, melons, oranges, grapefruits, bananas. There has always been lime. There were cuts of cheeses and sausages, white cheese like brynza was especially tasty. In the mornings there were several types of yogurt, well, all sorts of mashed potatoes, fried and boiled vegetables, etc. There are no photos from lunch and dinner, so I will only show breakfast.
For lunch and dinner, the chef prepared spaghetti with various dressings for those who wished. Here it is necessary to make a note that the owner of the hotel is Italian. Therefore, everything is focused on Italy. The staff is fluent in English and Italian, a little worse in Russian. Without knowing the language, you can easily go there. The audience was - mostly elderly and aged Italians and Germans. There is nothing to do with children in this hotel, the beach is not for children. Young people will be bored, animation can be said no. Although the team is trying there, but 5 people from strength take part in their show.
There is also a bar on the beach, open from 10-30 to 18
It is better to stock up on cream at home, there is a shop on the territory of the hotel, but it is more expensive there and there are no quality products. It also makes sense to buy coral slippers, fins, a mask and a snorkel. Without this, there is nothing to catch there, and the prices are exorbitant - they want $ 35-50 for slippers, and we bought them in Moscow for 250 rubles. There are no markets nearby.
A one-way taxi to Hurghada costs $150, and figs you will find it again.
The weather was often windy, one day a white flag hangs = you can swim, the second day a red flag = a wave = swimming at your own responsibility, then 3 days a black flag = you can’t swim, the pier is closed
In any case, the coral reef is of such a design that you can swim in any weather, another thing is that the depth near the shore is chest-deep. But this is also great, because on the territory of the neighboring five there is no pier and the depth is ankle-deep. The people there either walked to us or cuckooed by the pool. There are a lot of animals in the sea. It was a pity that I did not have an aqua-box. Fotkala that can be seen without immersion in water. During my stay I saw 3 species of moray eels, 2 species of rays, sea turtles and probably at least 50 species of various fish.
Well, what else can be said about the hotel ...on the territory you can smoke a hookah - $ 4 is a pleasure, and if you give 5-6 bucks (that is, with a tip), then you will change tobacco 3 times.
We didn't have a hotel guide. The Anex tour pleased us here too, and there was not even a stand, and they didn’t even send a fax about our departure. It’s good that the phone was given the correct one, we called to remind ourselves and they didn’t forget to pick us up. I will write about the tour in a separate post. By the way, we bought it from Pegasus, they gladly arranged us as their guests and sold the tour to Luxor.
If the hotel had free Wi-Fi and if the air conditioner cooled, then it would be possible to put full 5+, otherwise only 5 points : )
