We went to Egypt in March, with a company, for the first time. With a ticket, we got there, the season began and prices rose, it turned out to be 420 USD per person for 8 days of breakfast and dinner. We went with Karia Tour. Vouchers were handed out on the day of departure and Oh! Horror! Instead of 8 days, it turned out to be 7. When the order was made, the flight was on the eighth day in the evening, but in fact it turned out on the eighth day at 6 in the morning, leaving the hotel. What is this 8 days??!!! ! In short, the day was stolen from us.
Well, here we are at the hotel. We arrived at 9 am, but check-in to the rooms after 12.00. 3 hours tired, sleepy, we hung out in the hotel lobby, simply because, according to the rules, only after 12.00. (I note that no one moved out, i. e. the rooms were free and in general the whole stay the hotel was half empty)
But the first day of stress is over and REST has begun!!!!! ! I draw your attention WE WERE GOING TO EGYPT, NOT TO A HOTEL!! ! Understand the difference. If you want to relax on the territory of the hotel, then this hotel is not for you. Because the territory is small, no, it's not like that - there is no territory at all and there is no animation either.

Now for those who went to Egypt. Do not read bad reviews - these are all "show-offs for visitors. " If you choose this hotel, then you are limited in budget, whoever does not like the hotel, let them choose five stars for 1000 USD. and do not command.
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU - a fumigator - at night there were mosquitoes, a boiler or a travel kettle (they don’t give you a drink for dinner), drinkers - take alcohol. (Information for reflection - you can easily push a bottle of vodka for $ 20) ALWAYS take a mask.
BEACH Normal beach, clean. Walking on the pontoon was not annoying, because. on the road in the ebb-tide zone (this is the same 150m shallow) you can see fish, corals. By the way, at low tide, walk on the water - what or who is not there. Running shells, sea urchins, some huge leeches, something round red with live tentacles, various corals. But then you went down from the pontoon, dived and..... HIGH!! ! What FISH! And small bright and huge. And looking down into the abyss of the sea - it takes your breath away from the feeling of flight. Representatives of the hotel health center are constantly walking on the beach, offering their services - bargain. Pinch your eyebrows with a thread from 5 c. u. traded up to 2 c. u. If you are tired, just tell them to leave you alone and they will evaporate. There are towels on the beach. you can not take from the hotel. Free bus every half hour. be careful with the sun, I have dark skin and I almost never get burned, but then I got burned right away and even peeled off.
FOOD, Dinner is ok, but there really is nothing for breakfast. No, well, they found something to eat, but without pleasure. The disadvantage was compensated by baking. Breakfast - flakes like Start 3 types, honey, yogurt, sour cream, jam; cheese, butter, sausage (garbage), tomatoes, peppers, milk soup, mashed potatoes, boiled eggs, stewed zucchini, fried sausages with vegetables, scrambled eggs. Dinner - several types of salads (mainly from tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage in different variations) 2 types of soup, rice, potatoes, pasta, fish, stewed vegetables, and meat is different each time (squid, chicken skewers, turkey, stewed beef, boiled beef, seafood). Always rolls and sweet pastries, for dinner - cakes and pastries. As for taking them to the room - when there was some shift - they took out cakes calmly on plates, through the main entrance, then they checked the bags of the aunts. We carried everything to the hotel without hiding it, and the woman was not allowed to bring water. Fruit bought a hundred meters from the hotel to the right (back to the hotel) shops. But exoticism and variety in the OLD market - 40 minutes by minibus 3 - a maximum of 5 pounds.

ROOM. For two normal, with a large bathroom. The room has air conditioning, TV with 2 Russian channels, refrigerator - everything worked. Bathroom - hair dryer, towels, shower gel, toilet paper (always had everything). Hot-cold water - faucets worked perfectly. The balcony (all hotel balconies) overlooks the pool. Housekeeping only made beds and folded towels (tips don't help). There were no cases of theft, but we tried not to leave valuables in sight, but put them in bags.
TOURS. The cheapest in the OLD market. Cairo - 40-45 cu must be submitted 3 days in advance) - 90-100 c. u. Quads - 20c. u. (pictures from quad bikes, which we did not order, wanted to sell us $5 each, in the end I gave them for 2 pounds apiece. ) But you don’t really run into the old city (it’s far away). We took from Walid - a hundred meters to the left of the hotel (back to the hotel). A little more expensive, but you have to bargain + free hookah and tea every time you come.
Local residents. There are different. From stupid Bedouins to educated Arabs. Always smile in the shops, talk to them - they love it. Trade, trade and trade again. designate for yourself the cost for which you can take the goods and do not give in. A striking example is a sandalwood box - the initial price is 50 USD. final 50 pounds. but check everything, they can sell leatherette like camel skin. Don't be fooled by the $1-$5 discount. Having bought something, ask for a gift (scarab beetles, small papyri, bracelets, even magnets will be given easily).
CONCLUSION. I liked everything, there are a lot of impressions, a satisfied smile has not left my face for a week, I would return to the hotel, but not for 600 USD, but for 200-350 USD. All girlfriends, as well as vacationers whom they met at the hotel (7 people) liked everything, there were no bores.
