I will be laconic. The arrival of the airline Kolavia - 5 points, the return of Transaero - also five. Delivered to the hotel, settled and at the end of the holiday was taken to the airport is also good - the operator Coral.
The territory of the hotel is large enough, beautiful, green. It is very unusually decorated in the ancient Egyptian style, with backlight - it looks unusually beautiful. Lots of space, pool in the middle. Two restaurants, a bar, a stake room, an internet cafe, a shop, a pharmacy, travel services, cosmetic services (massage).
The rooms, surprisingly, do not seem small, went around several rooms to choose from. Our room was with a balcony. A dome with stained-glass windows and windows with shutters (no glass in the windows - shutters with stained-glass windows). Clean well, linen is white and clean. Swans and hearts are molded without baksheesh.
The pool is cleaned every day. Towels at the pool and on the beach for free.

Fanara Beach. There are very few people in the hotels, so the beach is not crowded at all. Coral is great. They take you to the beach 2 times - at 9.15 and at 10.30, back at 13.15 and at 16.15. They did not take me back twice, but they returned the money for the taxi (10 pounds).
Safe only at the reception $ 2 per day. There are no additional buses to the city.
The staff is friendly, they will not understand Russian, they will understand English or on their fingers.
The food is good for a trio. In the morning: cereal with milk, vegetable salads, beans, stewed and grilled vegetables, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, 5-6 types of croissants and sweet buns, instant coffee of an unknown brand, terrible tea, albeit in bags, sugar, milk, completely inedible sausage and sausages with vegetables. Didn't take lunch. Dinner was served either at the restaurant or by the pool. I add points separately for serving and for the atmosphere of dinner by the pool. Despite the small number of guests, the tables were served like in a restaurant (two tablecloths, linen napkins, cutlery). After dinner by the pool, I didn’t want to leave - a very intimate and family atmosphere (I love small hotels for this). For dinner: be sure to have soup, flatbread, several dishes of fresh vegetables and vegetable salads (you can ask to cut vegetables right in front of you), stewed vegetables - eggplant , zucchini, cauliflower, a mixture of vegetables stewed in different sauces. Two or three types of side dish: always rice, potatoes, pasta. Meat of two types - chicken and lamb, in sauce or grill (by the way, well cooked and soft). Sometimes one kind of meat and fish. Once the puree turned sour, but in general, there were no complaints about the quality of the products. From the sweet in the evening - a big cake, cakes, sweet buns, Egyptian sweets, 2 types of sweet jelly, 2 types of fruit.
On the territory - a zoo: geese, goats and kids, a turkey with turkeys, chickens, roosters, ducks. We fed the goats and rejoiced like children. The zoo and the territory of the statues of ancient Egypt in miniature are connected, it is interesting to take pictures.

Animation: three times a week there were shows at the level of 5-star hotels - a fire show (breathtaking), belly dance and dance with a tanura skirt
(very professional). Children's break dance and opa-opa with animators - all the guests were crazy, they just became related, they didn’t want to leave.
For the weekend, families of Egyptians come, it becomes noisy, a lot of children. Shows are only on weekends, as there are many guests.
There were no shortcomings for the trio. Weak water pressure, old furniture, TV and refrigerator, in our opinion, are not shortcomings. The main thing is that everything worked.
The only thing was that it was hard in the heat to wait for a bus to the airport for 6 hours in the reception hall with the air conditioner not working. And, of course, after check-out it is better to pay for a room for at least half a day (we were offered to extend our stay for 20 dollars for 6 hours, we refused).
Do I recommend the hotel? Good for three stars.
I will answer questions.
I also note that there are few guests in hotels, but Naama Bay is noisy with discos and Soho has live music even on weekdays. The old market is very cheap, there are already a lot of fruits - strawberries 1 dollar, super mango 3 dollars, peaches 3 dollars, very fragrant small melons from half a dollar to a dollar. This time they took a water thermometer, as there were a lot of questions about the weather. For 7 days the air temperature rose to 36 in the shade and the water was very warm 29-31 degrees.
