We stayed at this hotel in the middle of June and were very satisfied. This hotel is great for a relaxing budget holiday. We chose the hotel primarily because of the beautiful reef. I must say right away that the ticket cost us $320 per person. so we didn't have any special expectations. There were very few people in the hotel, about 50 people by eye. - ours, Italians and Arabs. We were settled on a conditional 2nd line. The balcony windows overlooked the pool and restaurant. Yes, the rooms are not recently renovated, but we did not pay attention to this at all. The room has a safe, hair dryer, soap, shampoo. The hotel is divided into 2 parts by a road, under which a wide tunnel is made, along which we walked to the beach. We walked 5 minutes to the beach.
The staff at the autumn hotel are pleasant and friendly. When the chandelier broke in our room, after a call to the reception, the employee came immediately, which even surprised us. Knowing Egypt, we were already prepared to wait at least an hour.
In the afternoon, Wi-Fi caught even in the room on the balcony, which was surprising, because. we lived not so close to the reception.
The beach is large, spacious with good sand. Entry into the sea only from pantone. The pantone is quite long. In summer this is not a problem, but when a cold wind blows, then after the sea it will be unpleasant to say the least. In general, this place is quite windy. Almost every day the wind blew from the Nabq area, which created a slight side wave and current. Fortunately, the pantone was not closed in this case. During the week of our stay at the hotel, the sea was closed only once in the afternoon, when the wave came from the sea. The reef is good, especially the gorgeous reef and a lot of different fish between the neighboring Baron and Sensatori hotels. I swam there all the time, and there the depth is much less than that of our pantone. Due to the often occurring current, it is better to swim long distances with fins. But even swimming near our pantone, a friend saw Napoleons and rays, eagles and lionfish and stingrays, not to mention many other fish, the names of which I don’t even know. In a word, we were very pleased with the sea.
Nutrition. As for the price of our package, the food was excellent. Yes, the choice of dishes was more modest than in the big five, but we had more than enough. And most importantly, it was delicious. For lunch and dinner there was always beef, chicken, almost always fish, once they gave duck and quail. Plus vegetables of various preparations, potatoes, rice, sweets, fruits: oranges, melon, dates, grapefruit and peaches. A couple of times there was a watermelon. The wine was not tasty, but the beer was good (poured from bottles).
What is nearby. Near the hotel you can walk along the beach near the neighboring Baron. They are very beautiful there. Behind the Baron begins a street with shops. There are few of them and prices are high. After the shops, you will see the side entrance to the Baron Palms Hotel on the right. Entrance to that part of the hotel is free. By the way, somewhere around 9:30 pm, they have animation on the open stage. Entrance was free for all hotels. Their animators touted everyone passing by. There was no animation as such in our hotel. Rather, there were 3 Russian-speaking animators in the hotel, but because of such a small number of people, it was difficult for them to do something. On the beach sometimes there was volleyball, darts, aerobics in the pool, but in the evenings... In a word, it is better to go to Baron Palms for animation. As I already wrote, the entrance there is not through the reception, but only from the street of shops.
We also found a place where you could have a cheap fresh mango drink. To do this, you need to leave the hotel through the old non-working reception (the hotel used to have 2 receptions, now one is closed and there is no one except the guards in that part of the hotel). Coming out of there you will see another road, which, by the way, is used by local minibuses. You need to go to the right along the wasteland for 5-10 minutes towards the Siren Island Hotel. A little before reaching this hotel you will see a food store. Basem market, excursions and cafes. In this cafe, we drank cool fresh juices, and cheaper than in Naama. In Naama 35 pounds, and here it was 25 ($1.5). Money for pounds was changed at the hotel, there is an ATM at the reception.
Where can you go. The nearest place is Soho. It would probably be possible to get there on foot, but you will have to go through a wasteland with unfinished villas and hotels, it’s a long way to get around along the road. We took a taxi for $2 one way. On Soho, all the shops are expensive, it's better to go shopping in Naama. 4 people took a taxi to Naama. for $4. It's with a bargain. The main thing is that you have no change. It is better to catch a local minibus (white and blue buses) on the road near the old reception. There they go more often than in front of the current reception.
