only 3 months have passed since I left this hotel (my previous review was not very flattering), but the changes have been colossal! Didn't want to leave! everything that was originally stated in the annotation for the hotel, now exists not only on paper. there is also big chess and kindr club (this is at no extra charge), and mini football, tennis, mini golf, big backgammon, computer games are for an additional fee.

Jacuzzi only exists in Beach Albatross. several shops appeared, but the goods in them are more expensive than in the old market and naami bay or 1001 nights (alev leila wa leila).

housekeeping has been quite decent before (unless of course you save on tips, 5 pounds daily and your room will shine.

the food is varied and quite tasty, every day there is meat (beef, veal, lamb) and fish and poultry (even turtledoves are served on the menu), vegetables are always in assortment, there are not enough fruits (bananas, oranges, tangerines are not always, dates, pomegranates, fresh figs, sometimes melon), there are always potatoes in two or three cooking options, rice (tricolor is very tasty), eggplant and, of course, pasta. Breakfast is monotonous, but there is a choice.

you can now drink and eat on the beach, and without any coupons in your own bar, drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are served from 10 am to 5 pm (this is on the beach) at the hotel until 00 pm, after for an additional fee (a glass of drink yuppies cost 6 pounds, cola and others like it 2 dollars), ice cream is free only for children from 10 am to 6 pm in the lagoon bar (to the left of the main restaurant), in general, you can eat all day in any of the cafes: breakfast from 7 to 10, lunch from 12.30 to 14.
30, midday snack in the "Iceland" bar (tea, drinks, sweets) or in the Salsa bar (pizza, burgers, pasta, etc. ) the same is free for hotel guests, dinner from 18.30 to 21 o'clock in the main restaurant, and also midnight soup in the lobby bar from 22 to 00 hours.

finally, the 2nd building was completed and 2 more bars appeared: the "cowboy bar" is open for free until 18:00, and the "house club" is open until 00:00. in general, whoever came to drink, eat and drink all this will receive in abundance.

the weather in December-January is like we have late spring, +25-27 on the sun, and 14-17 in the shade, but the wind is cold, so for the first 5 days we went to the beach, then they began to cough and decided to swim in the heated pool (heated unfortunately only the wave pool, so you have to borrow the beds from 7 a. m. I made it easier, gave 1 $ to the employee at the pool, and I always had 2 beds where I asked, plus I saved myself from running around with towels, he did it myself, so I advise those who like to sleep to do the same).
for children, in addition to the kinder club, there is also next to the reception, for a fee, riding mini cars and scooters. gondola rides are also free, but none of the boaters refused a 1 pound baksheesh, but it’s not that much money, but for the daughter it was a lot of fun!


upset and very attitude of our compatriots (Russians and Ukrainians) to the hotel. It was bittersweet to see the state of the playground! I got the impression that goblins were playing there, and not our children. why I say that it was our children who did all this, but because I saw with my own eyes how our children continue to destroy everything that is still whole, finish off the 3 remaining gnomes (there were 7 of them, as it should be), they tore off Mika’s hand with a hat and they broke off their ears, the poor scooby still holds on, does not allow himself to be torn off the support.
and poor thatched roofs of canopies and props for palm trees are scattered all over the district by night, thank God our miracle children do not burn them, but sorry, they pee under all the palm trees, although there are toilets throughout the hotel and not only in the rooms, but in everyone from bars or cafes, as well as at each mountain of the aqua park. somehow ashamed of our younger generation, perhaps we are missing something in their upbringing.

since I went on a New Year's tour, I want to share my impressions of the New Year's show. everything was thought out to the smallest detail, although of course there was a small overlay at the beginning of the evening. the program started at 19-00 pm with a light cocktail party in the "Iceland" bar, and then we were all smoothly escorted to a specially built tent, stylized as a casino.
the design of the room was very original and beautiful, but not everyone could notice it, since many were hungry (they didn’t feed us dinner, all the attendants were busy preparing the holiday) and, accordingly, when the time came to fill their plates with food, queues were organized around the perimeter of the tent, namely the size of the buffet, there was everything except red and black caviar. when all sorts of dishes appeared on each of the 200 tables and the waiters brought a sufficient amount of alcoholic beverages (champagne was for an additional charge - Egyptian: 110-260 pounds, imported 137 dollars, respectively, per bottle), so many perfectly met the new year to the sound of glasses of wine or stronger drinks, whatever you like.

the show program was great!

and the performance of a saxophonist who performed beautiful blues compositions at the beginning, then a wonderful singer who performed famous hits of the past and present took over the baton, all this smoothly turned into a New Year's lottery draw, and then into competitions. a pleasant surprise was a big performance of a variety show, after which a fakir appeared on the stage with an original program, and he was replaced by a magnificent dancer of beli dance (belly dance), and of course everything ended with an enchanting disco. It is impossible to describe everything that happens in words, you had to be there! but I don’t regret for a single minute that I decided to meet this New Year in Egypt!

guys! if you want to have a good rest, have fun on your vacation (and the animation team at the hotel is wonderful and international. there are Italians and Tunisians and a Russian girl Katya) come to the aqua park albatross!
but I’ll advise the season from April to mid-November, in winter it still blows, albeit not a strong, but very cold wind. in winter it is good for lovers of excursions to go, there is no tiring heat.

I wish you all a good holiday! if you have any questions, write, I will try to answer lerana07@mail. en
