HOTEL.
The area is green and blooming. The hotel is divided, as it were, into 2 parts, one part on the seashore, the other on the second line. There is a road between these parts, a passage for vacationers is dug under it, along which you can reach the sea. Walk to the sea from the reception no more than 3 minutes. Down the stairs, which reminds us of our Crimea. Mostly Italians live near the sea. However, they also have to constantly walk up the stairs to the restaurant, to the large pool, to the reception.

The food is good. Some say that they had nothing to eat. . . Well, I don't know.... You have to be SOOOOO picky. Breakfast: boiled eggs, scrambled eggs or potatoes, sausages, pancakes, cereals with milk, yoghurts, vegetables, cheese slices, feta cheese (in 3 types every day), sweets, tea / coffee, juice. Lunch: 2 types of rice (white and national red), potatoes, mashed soup, meat (cutlets, goose, chicken), stewed vegetables, salads, sweets, wine, beer, water. Dinner: 2 types of rice, pizza, meat, fried fish, pasta (cooked in front of you), grill (not every day), salads, wine, beer, juices, water. Once a week they have a national show and then all the food is in the national style for dinner, very tasty. Every day on a separate table there is red rice and some national dishes. Daily feta cheese, olives, dates, eggplant in different versions. Between meals in the main restaurant, drinks are available at the pool and beach bars. Beer, water, tea/coffee, rum-cola, vodka-sprite, juices.
The animation is honestly rather weak, but not intrusive : ). Charging in the morning, show in the evening. Every day a different show, a couple of times a week national dances with guest artists. It is very pleasant to sit down to drink coffee/tea/beer/cocktails and watch oriental dances.
Beach. The corals are very good. Colored, bright. A lot of fish. It is very interesting to dive in the afternoon at low tide, as those corals are exposed that were not visible at high tide. And in principle, it’s worth going to Tiran Island or Ras Mohamed just to unwind, since the corals there are no better.
Room service. Weak. Clean, but not enthusiastic. The dust is wiped, the floors are not washed. Towels are changed regularly daily, linen changed a couple of times. The quality of cleaning does not depend on the amount of money left as baksheesh.
Health. The hotel has a pharmacy, bath and sauna, massage, fitness center. Masseurs in the morning and afternoon roam the beach inviting for a massage. The cost of a massage lasting 1 hour is about $40.
On the territory there is a bank branch, souvenir shops.
I liked it there very much. Everything tastefully, without tension, smiling staff, magnificent sea, sun.......
Excursions: Ras Mohamed, Coral Islands, Diving "Secret of the Desert", Moto-safari in Nabq, show 1001 nights of Alf Leila Valeila.
It was really interesting to dive "Secret of the Desert". This includes quad biking and diving. Ras Mohamed and the Coral Islands were not impressed, as some 45 minutes are allotted for swimming (3 stops of 45 minutes each), there is no time to take a closer look at the living creatures. The show 1001 nights, to be honest, is more like a school amateur performance, but the territory itself is very beautiful, the national lunch is good.
