When I was going on vacation, I naturally re-read all the reviews about this hotel here, I was surprised and upset that they were so negative. Since we really liked the location of the hotel, the lack of panton and a small number of rooms (about 220 and, accordingly, people) in the hotel. Even in the agency, when buying a tour, we were stubbornly dissuaded from this place. They said that there is nothing to eat and there is no territory. They advised me to choose another hotel, but the price for the rest of the normal 5s started at $1.600. Even the nearby Pyramisa Dessole cost $1.650 already. The tour was bought from Pegasus, it turned out for 9 days for two a regular room, all inclusive, 1505 dollars. 3rd time in Egypt.
The requirements that we presented to the hotel and to the rest:
- quiet hotel, preferably less children
- good sea with at least some coral to see the fish
- a beach with enough sun loungers
- a small number of Russian tourists
- maximum 1500 dollars : )
So, what happened on a 10-point scale:
1. Territory 8, location 10, rooms 10
The hotel is located 30 minutes from the airport and 40 minutes from the city. Fully meets its 5 stars for Egypt, the first line, the territory is not huge, but there is where to wander. To the left of the hotel there is a wonderful alley with fountains and if you go further along the Sahl Hasheesh embankment. Not a lot of greenery, palm trees and flowers. But we were interested in the beach, the sea and the cocktail. I didn't feel like walking and walking. Clean, neat, calm. When a bus brought us from the airport and only three couples got off at our hotel, all the other tourists looked with surprise at what a beautiful hotel! Inside, everything is generally just gorgeous and pompous! The main building is in the form of the letter U, and half of this building is closed for internal repairs. There are no external manifestations of this repair. The only evidence that the hotel has only 100 rooms and 200 is that everywhere there was enough for everyone and there was no feeling of a boarding house. Few people - and I really liked it. We lived in room 1357 overlooking the hotel next to the left. At the reception we asked for a room with a king size bed. They didn't give money. When we entered the room, we were stunned! Compared to what we had previously seen in Egypt, it really was a palace Room with new furniture, clean, snow-white sheets, air conditioning of course, large TV, excellent bathroom, in marble. Photos are attached. In the room, 1.5 liters of water per person daily, tea and coffee in the room for free! The room was cleaned daily, we left a tip every day for a couple of dollars, while not particularly dirty, but we still noticed dust in the corners.
On the territory of the hotel there are shops with hospitable and unobtrusive Arabs. Prices in these stores are about the same as in the city and in the airport. $1-$3 magnets, $7-10 T-shirts, $7-20 scarves, $7-15 mugs. etc.
Attention, construction work is underway on the territory of the hotel, it is practically not noticeable, everything is fenced with a white fence, there is no construction noise.
2. Entertainment 7
Good animation, not imposing, exercises every day, water aerobics (generally super - I highly recommend visiting! ), volleyball, a show near the bar, a disco for children every day. Separate greetings to Kasper, the main animator. On the first day on the beach, 10 Arabs will come up to you with various offers: safari, fishing, wind surfing, trips to the pyramids, massage. This is the main thing to endure : )) they will still offer. There is no disco promised on the site. There is live music in the hall twice a week, football matches are broadcast on the street near the bar. There is Wi-Fi, but I decided to take a break from the Internet.
3. Sea 9
The Red Sea is the best sea in the world! The water temperature is +28, the beach is open until sunset. The beach is clean, fine sand, there are 2 small corals, but there are a lot of fish there, the water is of course very clean, no Mediterranean Sea can compare! The entry into the sea is smooth, to a depth of 7 meters from the shore. When entering the sea, there are literally half a meter of stones, so we purchased special shoes. The cost of such slippers is from 10 to 15 dollars. And one more thing that confused me - small algae, starting from a depth of 1.6 m. The shower and toilet are not on the beach, but by the pool, walk exactly 30 meters from the beach. There is windsurfing, kitesurfing, boats for hire with a driver and tons of water excursions! For those who like to take sunbeds at 6 in the morning: you don’t need to do this here, there are a lot of them and enough for everyone. And even at 8-9 in the morning you can have time to take a sun lounger on the first line right next to the sea! And if the tourists left something from the evening under an umbrella, then the beach staff cleaned it all up. Every day at 6 am, lifeguards with rakes cleaned the beach from large stones. We collected each trash can by hand - so everything is ok with cleanliness there! Very large swimming pool, up to 1.90 m deep.
4. Weather 10
Not a cloud! Light sea breeze and dry warm air, we were afraid that it would be hot - it was great! In Ukraine, +35 in the city is worse than in Egypt +40! and in Turkey, it’s generally +30 - there’s nothing to breathe, the humidity is crazy, the towel doesn’t dry out overnight, you walk around wet all day with sweat on your forehead! Right there in Egypt it was not very hot and good for sunbathing and swimming
5. Food 10
Lots of food and all kinds of food. If someone says that there is nothing to eat in this hotel, don't believe it! What kind of a glutton do you have to be so that THIS food supply is not enough ?? ? In the end, for the most fastidious, there is a fish restaurant where there are crabs, king prawns, lobsters, barracuda, you can even order a shark - they will bring it to you. And in this restaurant you pay only for fish - french fries, pizza, Caesar salads, drinks and ice cream you get for free! In the general restaurant, the ration is as follows
Breakfast - they make an omelette, scrambled eggs, eat boiled eggs, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, two types of peppers, pickled onions, olives, black olives, various Egyptian salads), cereals, milk, sweet puffs, croissants, oriental sweets sea! Fruits: apple-melon salad, oranges, grapefruits, dates of course, three types of cheese, feta, two types of sausage, sausages, etc. Very tasty bread, I don’t eat at all, but I couldn’t resist
Lunch - two or three types of soups, as a side dish - mashed potatoes, baked or fried, two types of rice, pasta or pasta, meat - goulash, meatballs, chicken (it was always every day! ) Either grilled or deep-fried fried, fish fried or steamed, squid with vegetables, vegetables (delicious tomatoes, cucumbers, three types of lettuce, beets, two types of peppers, pickled onions, green onions, olives, olives, various salads). The best bread and many sweets that you can't try them all!
Dinner - soup, garnish - mashed potatoes, boiled, baked or fried, two types of rice, pasta or pasta, grilled vegetables, meat - veal with watering, goulash, cutlets, chicken (it was always every day! ) or grilled on the street, or deep-fried fried, fried or steamed fish, squid with vegetables, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, three types of lettuce, zucchini, beets, two types of peppers, pickled onions, green onions, olives, olives, various salads). Great bread! 20 types of sweets (cakes, pies, pastries, puffs, etc. )
If someone didn’t eat these, then I don’t even know what to say....
Crockery (plates and cups) was always there! There was enough for everyone.
Drinks as usual are local alcoholic, good wine, delicious coffee, Sakara beer was very pleasant. Ice cream is free every day from 16-00 to 18-00 in the pool bar.
6. Personnel - 10
Very friendly and benevolent people, everyone will greet you and wish you a good rest and bon appetit. The main thing is also to be friendly and you don’t need to pretend that you are the king and god here and everyone should run after you. How you behave is how you will be treated! Some Arabs even speak Russian, but mostly you will need English. Russians at the reception.
In general, the hotel left a very good impression. Rest here is calm, there are many families with small children, there are no young people. Despite what we were told, it seems like there are no Russians in the hotel - it’s not true, mostly Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, there were also Arabs, Germans, Croats and Italians.
Here we rested from the city problems and fuss. In general, the holiday is very LIKE!!!
