Неплохой отель для Египта Good hotel for Egypt

We rested in this hotel from 02/23/15 to 03/03/15 with children 4.5 and 3 years old. The trip was organized spontaneously, so when Domina appeared among the top five cheapest 5 * hotels, they didn’t really think about it, because. A few years ago, for some reason, we couldn't afford it. Now, of course, it's also expensive, but that's a completely different story))). We chose a little in which hotel of this chain to stay. Choose Sultan:
We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon. They settled immediately, building 47. We did not encounter extortion and rudeness. The room was ready, freshly washed, my small requests were taken into account, which I wrote to the hotel's e-mail, which is nice. The room is spacious, the four of us were not cramped at all, but old, well, very old....Beautiful decoration of doors, furniture, but everything is so shabby, some kind of fading beauty. But the next morning we did not pay any attention to it at all, especially when the entire living space was quickly filled with circles, armlets, masks, etc. ))))))
There were problems with plumbing, they immediately fixed everything on a call. Only on the 3rd or 4th day did they realize that the drinks in the refrigerator were not cold, because it was not hot outside, but the refrigerator was not working)))))))))))))))))), instantly replaced. TV worked. About the hair dryer: if you just dry your hair, then it's faster outside; If you need to lay down even a little, then take it with you. The air conditioner was not turned on, after all, it was winter, and the nights were cool. Bring mosquito repellent with you! They are atrocious. Processing is regularly carried out on the territory, specific aromas are felt in the evenings, but it is better to play it safe in the room. The bar replenished regularly. The room was cleaned perfectly, the cleaner Mohammed did a great job.

The next room was undergoing renovations with all the resulting noise effects. During the day we were in the room only a couple of times, and it didn’t bother the children at all (which we adults like to refer to), they slept, as they say, in a dead sleep. Adults have more sensitive sleep. The husband, of course, called, was indignant, well, this is such a harmful character))). We must pay tribute to the girls Guest relation, they tried in every possible way to smooth out the unpleasant moments. If we had come for two weeks, and not for one, I would have insisted on changing the room, I think, already on the second day. And so…. As she imagined that collecting and disassembling junk, settling down... yes, well, him...
The food at the hotel suited me. Without any special culinary delights, a little monotonous, but everything is edible. The monotony was just enough for a week, they would have rested longer - I was indignant. She always found the right food for the kids. As such, I did not see a children's table. I liked eating at El Wadi better, small in size, but there is no feeling of an enclosed space due to glass walls (or display windows, I don’t know how to put it right). We dined at Coral several times, as I understand it, this is the central restaurant of the Domina Coral Bay hotels, it is more spacious there. For some reason, drinks in plastic cups (((, although this, it seems, is not a beach bar, where it is provided for by safety measures. Once, in this restaurant there was meat in vessels, well, completely raw. The husband, due to his nature, could not remain silent (like most men, he loves to eat), went to the chef, was indignant and left. I don’t know how, but in this huge hall they found our table and served personally cooked meat, nice. But, anyway, it was tasteless))) .
About drinks and alcohol: of course, there are not enough packaged juices, I don’t think they are so expensive, and the hotel cannot afford them. Those who prefer strong alcohol - take it with you.
Animation: we are lazy and do not participate in events. We saw that something was happening all the time. For active people, it is better to choose Aquamarine and Oasis, because all events take place near the central pool and on the central beach. And the arena, where evening shows are held, is also by the central pool. We no longer attended evening events, because. the children by that time were simply falling asleep in our arms. They say it was fun.

Separately, I will dwell on children's animation, because. For us, this is the most important point when choosing a hotel. I liked it very much. We first found a kids club by the central pool, organized directly by the hotel. A very rich program, but, in my opinion, for children from 7-8 years old. Kids 4-6 years old can not cope, do not have time. The room itself is dark. But guys, Elvina and Dima, well done! And what incendiary mini-disco they hold!! ! A few days later, we were told that there is a mini-club from the Coraltravel tour operator directly in our Sultan, near building 57. My little one liked it better here. And the room is more fun, the toys are newer... The children forgot about the sea-pool, I could not lure them even with Coca-Cola))). We brought half a suitcase of their crafts and drawings to Moscow. Thanks again Natalie! And in the evenings we already visited two children's discos: at 20.30 in one club, then at 21.00 in another, and sleep in parental hands))).
The territory of the hotel is huge, there is where to walk. But constantly plying cars, mopeds, clubcars, etc. , strain, just like in the city. Great beach, everything is clean. I really liked the multifunctional sunbeds, comfortable. On the central beach and by the pools I did not find changing cabins, very inconvenient. Maybe they are, of course, there are... There are definitely some on the Sultan's beach.
Outcome. Once again, I am convinced that the impressions of the hotel are 99% dependent on the general mood and mood. We spent a wonderful week of summer in the middle of winter in this hotel. Moreover, we were very lucky with the weather: +26 +30, water +24, a couple of days without wind at all, to be honest, we did not count on such a luxury. Very good hotel for Egypt. If they ask me where to go in Egypt, I cannot say that only in DominaCoral Bay Sultan and only here. There are better hotels. But if they tell me that they bought a tour to this hotel, I will answer - a good choice.
I hope my review will help you decide whether to choose this hotel or not.
