Tour of the Domina Coral Bay Aquamarine Hotel building is Beach, buildings 42.43, 44 are located near the beach, to the Arena - evening shows, near the restaurant, all within walking distance.
Rested with friends, first we had a room in the 44th building, and friends in the 43rd. Asked to settle in one building, kindly agreed, without hints ...The staff is not intrusive, executive, nice. We knew where we were going and that most of it would be paid, but we also had enough free locations for All Inclusive!
We were taken to the hotel from the airport for 10 minutes, immediately put on bracelets and taken to the buildings, went to dinner, when evicted the room was vacated at 11.30 bracelets were not cut, we had lunch (perhaps because the first day missed lunch) Terminal 2, Duty Free is expensive compared to Boryspil and small.
WI-FI on the balcony, on the beach near the bar from the small pier and at the reception is normal, and throughout the territory - very weak.

We managed to correspond and send photos, but it took a long time to upload.
ROOM in the 43rd building on the 2nd floor 43104 and 43117, the quietest place, with beautiful sea views. Opened with a map, while the light was not blocked. Safe with key. Large cozy room, everything is working, clean. 3 cabinets with shelves, two of them with 12 trempels. Phone for communication with the reception and friends in the room when dialing the full number-43117. The room has a large bed and an additional sofa bed, several bedside tables, a small minibar on arrival filled free of charge 2 cans of beer (friends had juice in packets instead of beer), 2 drinks and 2 bottles of 0.6 water. In the following days we filled only two bottles with water - we had enough. Small TV with Russian and Ukrainian channels + local and Italian. The hair dryer, air conditioner worked quietly and well at minimum speed and exhibited t23.
I liked that there were many large mirrors (on all the doors to the bathroom, on the wall behind the TV and in the bathroom).
The bathroom has a shower behind the glass, bidet, toilet, countertop with sink. A day later they cleaned the room and replenished shampoo, soap, shower gel, changed towels and bed linen. Beach towels were also changed in the room, during the day you can always go to the cleaner and change to clean wrapped in cellophane. Balcony with 2 strong chairs and a table with an ashtray. The balcony has a closed door to the next room, we tied a rope to the door handle and chair, and dried swimsuits. A kettle is available in the room upon request. For cleaning left sweets, seeds, or $ 1, the cleaner performed his duties without it.
THE TERRITORY is very large, well-groomed. The territory is traveled often, with an interval of about 4 minutes Taf-tafi №2 on our side and near the Harem and №4 the other side Oasis, Prestige. Both leave the reception.

Elevator from the reception 4th floor to the 0th floor to the area where shops and the main restaurant Coral. The all-inclusive system included 3 restaurants - Coral, Il Giardino, Spices, and 3 bars - by the pool All Inclusive Bar, on the beach Main Beach Bar and above the main restaurant Coral, at the entrance there are stairs up to the roof 47 steps, there is a bar with strong drinks.
There are several volleyball courts and a tennis table.
There are many shops on the territory with normal prices for things and masks, 1 fruit shop (mango for $ 4, and in Naama Bay $ 1.5 per kilo), and only 1 pharmacy with high prices (Detralex $ 8 and Naama Bay $ 4.5).
We were allowed to use the spa for 1 day after a guided tour of the hotel, and 1 day for a high class beach, which did not impress us. Visually, the class, but in reality it is not ours, ordinary sunbeds are much more comfortable.
FOOD is prepared as usual in Egypt, for an amateur, we are not picky on vacation.
The choice has always been there, especially the variety of fruits — grapes, guava, figs, dates, oranges, apples, and more. There has always been chicken, beef, fish cooked in different ways. The next day at the entrance to the restaurant there was something for a barbecue. Once a week there was an Egyptian evening with dishes and sweets, once a fish evening with crabs, shrimp and soups were the theme of the evening. There was always pasta, potatoes in different variations, rice, vegetables and many ready-made salads. This time we all ate and drank in a row, there was no discomfort.
We had enough, there were almost no queues, no more than 5 people if something is tastier. Almost all the tables were occupied, but finding free was no problem. Beer and wine from bottles, strong drinks were also few and the strength was felt, the ice was never taken, even in cocktails. Cocktails are a weak choice.
We ate in the main restaurant Coral, once went to a restaurant near the spa and once in the Harem - here we liked the atmosphere, cozy, beautiful, compact and cocktails more familiar to ours. Tea and coffee from the machine could be taken with each meal, as much as you want, too, for free.

The beach and the sea are good. The beach has 2 pontoon pools above the coral reef (protected by nets) for those who like to walk on the bottom, and others to jump and swim to the depths. Water was +27, air +35, I swam a lot, although I love the water in the sea warmer closer to +30 for my personal comfort.
Very comfortable sunbeds by the pool and on the beach with adjustable visors overhead, as well as plastic sunbeds to relax at the water's edge.
There is another pier smaller and there are fewer people where we bathed more often.
Between the piers there is a cleared entrance from the shore for children and can not swim, but it is very narrow and did not like - the push and stones are all at the bottom, it is better on a large pier in the sea pool.
On the beach there is a shower, toilet, on the paths there are foot washers.
The all-inclusive beach bar is open from 10 am until sunset, there are all drinks and stronger and beer, water and snacks in the form of buns and slicing oranges, cocktails also made modest.
I did not like that very late they start swimming from 9 am in the sea. Breakfast from 7.30 at 8 we are already on the beach and marinate for an hour before lowering the ladder to the pontoon, from the shore, too, does not let-whistle until 9 am!
The wind was daily, but the red flag at noon twice. When the wave threw the man on the coral and he could not cope with the current, rescuers quickly took him on a boat on a pontoon. Well done always on the alert, the child jumped to the depths, the rescuer kept an eye on her!
Coral is poor, but there are islands and a wall. The fish had a variety, because we have been to Egypt many times, we did not seek to choose a hotel with a beautiful reef. We needed a little, and it worked!
ANIMATION was at the Arena every night with his band. Looked once from start to finish, the rest of the days in part. Tanura (the guy with the skirts) was waiting for the dance. Belly dancing was in the main restaurant during the Egyptian dinner.

We did not take excursions, because in Egypt we have been to different resorts up to 15 times. They went to Soho, to Naama Bay. I wanted to book a transfer to the Mango Market, but met your condition of purchase for $ 65. Transfer to the pharmacy El Izabi, too, with the condition of purchase for a certain amount, it seems $ 30. But I know that you can order delivery to the hotel by check. You can also order a free transfer from the guide to the pharmacy, but I do not know which one.
Free sightseeing tour - a waste of half a day with delivery to very expensive shops.
The flight was postponed to us 12 hours later, from 2 o'clock at night to 2 o'clock in the afternoon UIA (flight and landing perfectly), back was the Wind Rose at 18.30 Airbus, landing after 20 minutes and 3 attempts is unpleasant.
We understood the rules of crossing the border with Egypt. They had a certificate of vaccination without the Gr-code and the Action program, which works without the Internet, were ready to pay $ 30 for the tests upon arrival. As a result, after arrival passed through the 2nd terminal (dirt) no one checked anything from these documents, possibly through the evening passage. The guide from TUI told us that special control is only for the Kazakhs. Returning to Boryspil, we quickly passed the border control with certificates, who did not have them, installed the application Action at home and the queue slowed down.
Concerning liquids both there and back were not allowed.
I had packages of 100g missed.
Bottled water was given back and forth during the flight.
We enjoyed this hotel. Hotel city!
The administration has such a large complex with shops, and there are NO WEIGHTS FOR LUGGAGE! Please buy luggage scales, because everyone is shopping at home and is afraid of the benefits. They are usually in the luggage room or at the reception. And swimming in the sea from 8 to sunset would be great!
