Очень достойный отель за свои деньги Very good hotel for the money

Very good hotel for the money! Everything was wonderful! And now I want to explain to tourists some of the nuances of the hotel. I want to remind you right away that in Egypt the “five” hotel is different for the “five”. "Continental" refers to the fives in a simpler way. Always compare prices by fives. If the tour operator sells you this hotel at an expensive price, this is not true. This hotel on the international booking portal is very inexpensive, so you should not expect "heavenly pretzels"! Again, I repeat: the biggest argument of this hotel is the price! And the biggest disappointment was the bad reviews of tourists on the portals. But we were looking for a very budget option, but a gorgeous sea and a coral reef, and therefore, we were mentally prepared. After reading the reviews, we think, well, that's it, we'll end up in the ghetto. The fifth time in Egypt, there is already something to compare with, there have always been “five”, but the prices are higher. And here the price for the tour is very pleasant ...I will immediately describe our calculations: our tour cost $ 1.100.
three for 10 days. December. That is, if you take away the tour operator's commission and the flight, then $ 20 per person remains for the hotel. So we got ready to relax on $20 a day.


And what was our surprise when we were very warmly welcomed, and immediately sent to dinner. We got ready to “fight for a piece” and saw a good restaurant with good upholstered furniture, a beautiful summer terrace overlooking the sea, we really liked it, we had breakfast and dinner there. The variety of food was excellent. I want to ask dissatisfied tourists - what do you eat if such a variety and quantity is “fififi” for you? 5 types of salads, all kinds of vegetables, pickles, olives, two types of rice, potatoes, spaghetti, stewed vegetables, baked vegetables, chicken, fish, beef and the obligatory "chef's dish". Yes, they gave out portions, but if you didn’t eat enough, or if you want more, feel free to come a second time. But you can't eat everything!
You can't even try everything at once! And I haven't mentioned sweets and cakes yet! Every day, a confectioner stood near the counter with sweets and analyzed what guests were choosing. Offered desserts. There were always fruits, 2 kinds. Oranges, melons, dates, bananas, apples, persimmons, sweets. All is well in terms of food.

Rooms. I'll tell you right away, read what is written in the tour. "Standart room" i. e. not suites, not two-room suites should not be expected. We handed a good expensive chocolate to the receptionist at the reception, and got a wonderful room on the second floor, overlooking the pool. Yes, in a distant building, but very nice. Quiet, no one, no drunken cheerful companies, no whining children, everything is decorously family. The room is large and spacious on the second floor. Premilenky balcony, with a table and chairs not plastic) on which it was nice to sit sipping tea, coffee. Remark.
Initially, there is no kettle in the room, but you can ask for it at the reception and they will immediately provide it to you with tea and coffee (instant) for free. Since we are seasoned tourists, we brought good brewed coffee with us and wonderfully brewed everything you need there, there is a TV, a beautiful bed, with good linen, 4 towels, a bed, a coffee table, a refrigerator, well, what can I list! For $20 a day, great! The bathroom has a bidet! Cleaning daily. Warmed up with a chocolate bar or a dollar (well, we are grateful tourists) will not decrease from us, but the employees are pleased. Everything is clean, tried hard.

The area is very well maintained. If we take into account that all this was created on sand and stones, you go and the eye rejoices! Remarque: I read in the reviews of one madam, “dirty, not cleaned, pieces of paper around the territory ....» WELL, NOT HOTEL EMPLOYEES scatter these pieces of paper, we are representatives of civilized European countries! Be human.

But I never saw the papers. All is clear. My husband was outraged by the incident in the men's room on the beach. (By the way, the toilets on the beach are very clean with paper, soap and towels). In the men's room, some lady put a small child, sorry, crap for the most part in a urinal - it's a shame! when my husband made a remark to her, she replied that she was so comfortable! This is a social disaster! In education! And then these same tourists write bad reviews for a good hotel!

The sea is a separate issue. Story. The beach is sandy. For children and pensioners, a beautiful and wide coastline for swimming. At neighboring hotels (I swam to neighbors, saw, talked with vacationers) there is only a descent to the water carved into the rock and a pontoon, and we have a pontoon and a large gentle shore. Remark. On the right, the hotel also belongs to the "continental", but it is being renovated now. But using their pontoon is not prohibited. Please, big iron pontoon. Not plastic.
It was difficult to walk on our pontoon, but why? The entire coastline of corals can be sailed, and then a fairy tale opens up to you ...depth and amazing marine life. I have seen ALL the fish in the red sea brochure. Except sharks, turtles and manatees. From tiny colored fish like caramels to a two-meter Napoleon fish. And needles, and groupers, and lionfish, and dragon fish, and moray eels, and tuna. The spectacle is amazing. There is nothing to go there without a snorkel mask and fins. Everyone with masks, even three-year-olds. I opened the beautiful underwater world to my child. Incredible emotions. Pleasure boats from all over Sharm al-Sheikh went to our reef. And we enjoyed this sea all day long. The hotel is located in a bay, so in December we had a very quiet and calm, and no storms. +28 every day. After all, it's a miracle when it snows in your city, and you enjoy a wonderful summer!

Bar on the beach.
Alcohol is free, as in all of Egypt - disgusting, everywhere. All the hotels we have been to. Therefore, we had no illusions. They took it in the duke. But there is always ice, soda, juices, tea and coffee.

And of course, gorgeous palm trees! Right on the beach. It is very comfortable in their shade.


I counted a lot of pools 4. And a separate water park 4 slides are quite cheerful. And there's a heated pool. A huge request, read what is written in the rules of the hotel! (yes, when you check in, they give out a sheet with the rules), it says the opening hours of the water park, pools and the beach.

As well as ethics in dressing in a restaurant. The hotel administration even upholstered the upholstered furniture in the restaurant, so that our TURists in wet swimsuits would not spoil the chairs!

Animation. The guys are trying. Misha is really handsome! Classic. Water aerobics, yoga. Gymnastics, volleyball...morning and afternoon. Children of animators adored. Who wanted to have fun, who wanted to lie on the beach and not move, watched.
In the evening (attention in the amphitheater near the beach) every day there is a disco for children, then a small show, and a disco for adults), but if the contingent of the hotel is “30 plus”, then there are few visitors. But the animators are trying.

Conclusion: if you came to “break away”, then you are not here. This is a very family run hotel. Serenely, nobly, quietly.
If you are aiming to drink from morning to evening and overeat, you are not here either.

But if you want to enjoy the sea, silence, pleasant emotions, then your choice will be the right one. And the main argument - this hotel, when choosing a tour, should not be expensive! This is his biggest advantage! It can't compete with other 5 star hotels, and if you're being charged a lot, don't believe it. This is the machinations of the tour operator. And we had a wonderful vacation on $20 a day! We, with our money, were miraculously “circled”, which is what we wish you! I hope my review was helpful, have a nice holiday!
