We went to Egypt for the first time, we wanted a good rest and service! After reading reviews of hotels, I realized that it would be a problem to choose. Either the rooms are miserable, or the food Horror! The travel agency offered many options, but we stopped at Domina Coral Bay, King Hotel. We traveled with my family, two children (5 and 2.8), for two weeks and the salt lake that is located near the hotel was a big plus! When booking this hotel, you get only breakfasts, and lunch and dinner for money, since there are about a dozen restaurants on the territory. I searched for a very long time before the holidays for information on prices in restaurants, but it is nowhere to be found. Accordingly, all drinks in bars are paid, it's not all inclusive!
And here we are in Domina! Very large area, clean and beautiful! The bus delivers already inside the hotels. At the reception, everything was done quickly and we were taken to the hotel on a club typewriter (they use these for playing golf). On call, this car with a driver comes to you and takes you wherever you want. The room is clean and comfortable, with a balcony, lake view! No cockroaches or insects!
The lake is a fairy tale! Artificial, water comes from the sea through pipes, fish swim in the lake. The children were fed every day. Finding a photo of the lake is not a problem. Sun loungers, umbrellas are good, you don’t need to take a seat, because not many people can relax there. Toys (for sand, balls, cars) were left at the sun loungers, they didn’t take them home for all 13 days, not a single thing was lost. In windy weather, there is no wind on the lake, the buildings are closed, it is very windy on the beach by the sea.

Meals - breakfasts are held in the restaurant of the Prestige Hotel, you call the reception and after 2 minutes a golf car arrives for you, brings and takes you (2 minutes to go), we ourselves returned to the lake along the seashore two days later. The breakfast is excellent, the waiters carry the menu, there are several types of omelettes, scrambled eggs, pancakes. A large selection of yoghurts (without additives and with them), cheeses, sausages, pastries, fresh juices (two types: orange and guava or instead of guava, melon). Everything is at a high level! Now about restaurants A LA CARD! There are many for different tastes, the menu is excellent.
PRICES - on average per person, this is a salad $ 10-15, a second $ 15-20, a dessert $ 8, without drinks! It's lunch and it's dinner! In the dining room, where people who have all-inclusive eat, we were offered $ 50 for a family. Therefore, when checking into King at the reception, they offered to buy a full package - 40 Euros per family, for one day, lunch and dinner at any restaurant on the territory of Domina Coral. Having checked that we would spend about $ 150-170 on food per day for a family of four, we took advantage the next day and bought this package for the whole vacation.
I went to check for lunch in Coral, already free on the card, so I took a chance (this is a canteen where people who have all-inclusive eat) !! ! I understand after this food reviews! Everything tasteless!!! ! You have to be a vegetarian, meat, and this is terrible lamb and dry turkey. You can eat vegetables and side dishes (rice is delicious). Only sweets are normal. Without children, if you go, you can go hungry! Well, in the Restaurants everything is very tasty, fresh, a completely different level! Accordingly, the service is excellent, All the waiters play with the children, they joke!
Bazaar - inside the complex there is a market, you can buy anything you want. The Egyptians do not grab the hand, do not become impudent!
Animations and disco - evening children's disco, 10-15 minutes, singing Italian songs and dancing. Very fun and playful! Then, in the arena, a performance for adults and children (sometimes it’s good, sometimes you don’t want to watch it). Well, after that everyone goes to the central cafe and there the animators organize so-called flash mobs to the music! Very fun and outrageous! Then we sleep with the children, how life is at night Unknown!!!!!!
The people in the Domino complex are 50% Russian, 50% Italian. There is no tension, everything is in a friendly atmosphere. Drunken festivities, disputes, fights, showdowns were not noticed !! ! Guards are everywhere.

Tuf Tuf is super fun for kids!!! ! Buses without doors and windows run throughout the hotel, 4 different routes! They deliver people from the sea to the hotel, if they are located far away. My children and I rode them every day, before dinner, before lunch. Video taf taf can be found everywhere.
Conclusion ------ in order for the vacation to be wonderful and not to write bad reviews about food and rooms, you must live in the Prestige Hotel or King! And you will be great! But they are expensive compared to Oasis, Sultan, Aquamarine! And people pay less and want to live like in a palace! Everything corresponds to its price and quality.
Golf cars can be rented for $10 an hour or $65 a day. You can buy a ticket to any hotel, and upon arrival pay extra and you will be accommodated in another hotel, a class higher. But you will go to your place to eat, where the hotel originally arrived! There is no big difference between the food in the Coral Dining Room and the dining rooms of the Sultan Hotel, Elizir, I went to check it.
Only one problem got us - it's mosquitoes! We bought a fumigator, a racket for insects and everything is super. But they managed to bite us and the children!
