I will try to write an objective review. . Rested with a family 2vzr + teenager 14 years old c26.12. 12 to 5.01. 13 arrived early in the morning, the plane Orneir delivered on time, there were no problems on arrival, all passed very quickly because this is not the first time in Egypt.
At Sharma Airport near the conveyor with luggage there are trucks, they are absolutely free, people can easily leave them near the bus, there are "helpers" who cling to the cart and try to help you for $, feel free to sew them.
we got a small minibus with a PEGAS sign in which there was a guide and an Arab man who was taking luggage through the window of the minibus, it turns out this help costs a couple of $. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from the airport. During the trip, the PEGASA guide explained that our hotel time = Egyptian + 1 hour and told who and when to meet with hotel guides, we the next day after arrival at 9.00.
30 at the hotel time, as well as where you can still pack in a dutik in the city, but the best prices he said is the airport.
Placing
And so we were about 8 at the reception of the hotel domino harem, the reception was surprised by its attrition and a bunch of greasy sofas, low ceilings, no lobby bar, somehow not like the reception,
after reading the reviews were ready to wait a long time, but a little "green" was able to speed up the settlement, the Arab who inhabited us said he could not give us the nearest duplex as in armor, like everything is already busy and he already does us a favor. «. . you know how much I have to populate you! "(Breakfast was until 10.30 but we do not have it - bring snacks, chips, etc. ), said he would give the nearest number available, and until 10.30 we can go for bracelets.
a set of cards was received and we were taken by electric car with suitcases.
in the penultimate case of 61 duplexes (that's what you became friends with Kamchatka! -
"Closer") number got 61164. All rooms in this building 61 have a sea view, it starts as if from the pool and uphill.
Number
The general impression of the room seemed good, but if you look closely, you can see the whole age of the room.
The room had a very nice view - in the distance the sea and the island of Tirana, near the road and villas
Large two-storey room, beautiful tiled floor, safe, minibar, balcony, on the first floor a large bed on the first sofa bed, dressing room with old wardrobes, wrought iron railings on the 2nd floor, air conditioning, TV only on the ground floor (small old and for such a huge rooms 79 sq. m) are ru. TV and 3 more of our channels, 2 bathrooms with bidet, one with shower on the second floor.
On the second floor there was a large four-poster bed, next to it was a lamp on a leg framed with metal - barely shining, one name, I thought as if he had not fallen on someone all swaying loose, curtains saw the views and furniture and plumbing old - appliances good worked, handles in cabinets constantly fell off, they were screwed on screws, doors, handles, jambs smeared with grease, someone killed a mosquito on the wall - traces of blood (former residents tried), on the balcony furniture (table and sofas with upholstery) from time to time began to fade , the tree crumbles. Mosquitoes were present in the room, which was very stressful at night (they took a raptor with them because the room is huge, it did not help, and maybe their animals are impudent, everything was nothing), did not look under the beds, ants were also observed.
There were constant problems with water, then low pressure, then a little warm water from the hot tap, so using a shower with Jacuzzi was difficult, I did not want an hour to collect water. In the evening in the minibar there were a couple of bottles of water and 3 jars of 0.33 type Sprite, Fanta, Cola
Cleaning in the room was, but we can say so mediocre standard, no one gave us bottles and shampoos in the line, and clothes neatly folded, although the dollar was left. One man admitted that he left $ 5 to get better! ! ! It was interesting only to the Russians they settle in these rooms? It turned out later that some of the rooms at the nearest rooms are rented by them and are home to local traders from the orange zone.
After learning that the duplex number 61128 will be released (according to the information posted for tourists), we decided to change the room to another, contacting the reception, to which we were told that this room will be occupied by a person who visits this hotel every year and has privileges. Everything turned out to be nonsense, then we talked to this privileged man, he just gave us $ 25.
Nutrition. The food is normal, no one was poisoned - you can eat spices, do not regret it, but who likes it. Breakfasts are standard: cereals with milk, tea, coffee of various kinds from the machine, there are always scrambled eggs, omelets, sausages, jams, oils and toast. Baking on top is pancakes with chocolate syrup, full of pies and buns, especially liked freshly baked while still hot and the most delicious milk for breakfast. For lunch - dinner is always 2-3 kinds of meat, beef, chicken, lamb often, sometimes the meat was undercooked rubber.
The soups were different, dairy (a couple of vermicelli floated in them), tried to cook our borscht. Often there was a small roll of octopus, crabs, tuna and pangasius, sometimes squid, so to the amateur. White and yellow rice, potatoes, pasta-spaghetti-pasta 2 types - a large selection of additives of all kinds, stewed vegetables of all kinds, sauce. Vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce. You do not need to take pre-salads, often there is something that we did not milk yesterday. Fruits: bananas, guava, sweet dates, persimmons, citrus, sliced melons! But it was not the case that at your table someone secured in the hall oversaw and at your request brought drinks $ for the service, as was the case in other hotels ("fed" waiter shows you a table where you sit and rushes for a drink to you, so it was in another hotel), here everyone rushes, who for what and in search of places to sit. In the restaurant bar for lunch and dinner there is a wine of three kinds we took red.
Said, a ten-year-old bartender boy, worked there, and we thanked him in the book of reviews. There is always tea, we went to the restaurant coral hotel Aquamarine for interest, there is tea only for breakfast - what is written about tea is true)))
Guides. Our guides were two Catherines and Magdi. At the info-meeting, which lasted about an hour, the guide Catherine I quickly and amiably and correctly told everyone what we can and can not do some bars and how they work, where the orange zone (the area where all hotel events and trade usually take place), she said The main location of compatriots is Buhai bar, which is open from 10 to 00:00 Info-meeting gradually turned into advertising tours from Pegasus, through which many missed breakfast. By the way, later there were people who said that you should not go to the bathyscaphe + shopping in Dahab, it all came down to shopping and the prices there were not as cheap as the guide assured them. Call a guide from 646 - free.
Guest Relay - Anya call 61 from the number, if there are problems with the number, also free. It was possible to meet the guide with the whole family and not go, not to miss breakfast, the main goal is to register for the return flight!
The whole hotel is huge, well-groomed with lots of greenery, you move either on the taff taff or on foot, from the beach taff taff № 3 its long wait always went uphill on foot, especially stressful to stretch from the beach for lunch , whether construction, Italians do not bother to take cars and rent cars, they can be seen in the villas) their distance is also stressful, and those who live in prestige, call their reception and they are free from anywhere in the hotel electric car. In the evening it was noticed how the car drives on the hotel and disperses smoke clubs, "smokes" the territory from animals.
Early the second time, for some reason no one wrote before, you can wake up from the loud calls of the muezzin to the prayer rushing from the loudspeakers, heard throughout the district.
As for the bars, everything is well-painted before, beer and alcohol are local "nothing", ice cream-ice with water and sugar snack bars with french fries, and what they give from 15 to 17-dates with cake, I would not call a snack.
The hotel staff is friendly, if they say a few more words in Arabic so generally generally smile
Animation of the hotel Harem-was by the pool, animators-YANA, ALEXEY, SERGEY could play darts, water polo, aqua aerobics children walked, adult units and very sluggish. The music played quietly, say Italians from the villas complain, experienced tourists advised to go to the main pool (near the mosaic cafe) there is more fun animation and children like it there.
The evening animation took place in the center of the hotel in the orange zone near the Mosaic cafe and in the Arena there are various entertainment programs, concerts, competitions, contests such as MISS DOMINA, everything was done in Italian and dubbed in Russian, everything is clear. If you are late for the start, it will be very difficult to look through the heads of the crowd, sit for free and drink for a fee. Disco at Stargate Canvas. Information on hotel activities can be found at the exit of the Harem.
beach. Almost the entire coastline adjacent to the hotel belongs to the hotel; corals near the shore did not let-the guy rescuer whistled.
The harem has its own beach and a good pontoon.
Pontoons are solid (not long and there are no tides), but the central largest with an indoor pool is for everyone, along the pontoons stretched on a rope buoys along which my son and I sailed from the pontoon to the cut entrance to the sea from the shore, the sunbeds of the harem are red, the Italians from the villas and the prestige people were resting on the green sunbeds, if you look at the sea, they are on the right. We somehow went to the right to the end, noticed the Italians fences from the wind right next to the sunbeds on our beach did not put (((if you go further you can go to the beach of the Sheraton There are fish, but the same species, a heron flew to the beach, many cats at the hotel - some of them masterfully sleep right on the sunbeds.
As it was noticed, a lionfish (its sting is very dangerous for a person) swam through the cracks on the central pontoon in the inner pool.
The whole party was mostly near the central All Inclusive bar on the beach, so we had to run to the bar, there was also a beach animation, the animation is quite active compared to the animation by the harem pool, even the bartender danced. Animators walked along the beach between the sunbeds and unobtrusively tried to "pair" different tickets: Stargate discos for $ 17-30, or a spa in Ellisire for $ 32, a Zorro show + dinner in the desert for € 49. etc.
We went to the salt lake of the king's lake hotel - very beautiful, clean well-groomed beach, there was no great desire to swim there - we have enough lakes, sea fish and hedgehogs were seen in the water, and not for the owners of our bracelets.
It was quick to watch our compatriots with inverted bracelets, but I want to be a "king with a watering can" -TheY have a blue BLUE inscription COING on a white background! ! ! !!
Once we got tired of going up to lunch in Harem and we ordered pizza in Alibaba, make right there with you, really liked the big hearty cheese did not regret + seafood, still took french fries ate everything and in his pocket did not hit the harem hard 30% discount , it is worth going to dinner with seafood and tricks on the beach from the restaurant Sandy Lane - already includes good alcohol (wine Obelisk and beer from glass bottles). Sit at large round tables by candlelight in the evening on the beach, watch tricks to music and weave squid with shrimp.
New Year. I can describe for a long time I write briefly, we went to the Latin American carnival - it was fun but very quickly ended not at home until 5 am, NG
3 times noted: Moscow, hotel and Egyptian time, served by waiters, the party was a success, the animators tried, many tourists were in carnival costumes (prepared) there were various competitions, fireworks show everyone had fun, I remember someone won 7 days in Dominion salad with shrimp on a stick from a plastic wine glass seasoned with sweet syrup. Champagne was paid (the price of space), ours was not confused and carried with them! ! ! ! ! Many thanks to the entire Domina animation team, as well as to the professional dancers! !!
There are no water slides in Dominica, all 6 a la carte restaurants are paid
(Experienced tourists used to write for free in all restaurants) - from experience I remember in other hotels the first visit a la carte for free, no lobby bars,
snacking on the beach is also not, a large scattered area of the hotel is not always + it resembles a mini Adler in Egypt, far from Naami, there is no general atmosphere of the hotel everything is somehow different. All 7 hotels Domina oasis, aquamarine, sultan, prestige, elisir, king and harem - different in star rating from 3 * to 5 * room fund has declined sharply, positioning the whole complex as 5 *.
The owners of the hotel apparently decided that it is enough to have a good beach and the sea, the disadvantages can be ignored and so come.
Impressions of the holiday are mixed, I no longer want to go to such a "sly" All Inclusive, maybe someone is going for the first time, so I like it, and who has something to compare with, I think hardly.
