We stayed at this hotel just in time for New Years. We flew from Zaporozhye via Anex Tour (in Egypt it is Odeon tours). There will be a lot of letters!!! )))
Departure:
I repeat, we flew from Zaporozhye, everything was on schedule, but the Zaporizhzhya airport itself is something with something, as if we had returned to the 70s. But the main thing is that they did not stay there for long. By the way, who wants to leave the car in the parking lot, then this should be done in the city and go to the airport by taxi.
Flight:
Everything went well and on schedule, we flew from UIA on a Boeing 737-400. We sat down the first time, not like with the Rose of the Winds on the third attempt.
Airport and customs:
They didn’t take a visa, they wrote Sinai only to the customs office, the customs officer, without even raising his head, slammed the Sinai stamp and everyone rushed for things. We got things and went to the representatives of the tour operators, who told us which bus to take. We found our van without any problems and plunged into it.
Arrival and check-in at the hotel:
We arrived at the hotel at 18-30 and asked at the reception to be accommodated together (we traveled in two couples) and in a normal room, they seemed to understand and asked to fill out a questionnaire and treated us to a cocktail. We filled out the forms and we were handed the keys to the rooms and began to smile sweetly and ask for money with our eyes; ) but, it wasn’t there, we asked to show us the rooms, to which the guy at the reception said that the rooms were good and nearby, but who believes them) )) Let's go look at the numbers that were really close (145 and 148). Of course, the room stock is worn out: old plumbing, shabby furniture, an old TV set (3 Russian channels), but everything was within the normal range and I had to give $ 10 per couple and went to settle.
Hotel territory:
Since the hotel itself is not very large, the territory is also not large, but everywhere is clean and tidy. There really isn't much greenery! There are 4 pools, one heated (but not very warm), two slides, a pool bar, a bar in the main building. I won’t add anything else, because. all hotels in Egypt are almost standard in terms of territory. There are several shops on the territory: a supermarket, papyri, knitwear, silver, which, as always, are overpriced, but the water there costs $ 1 per 1.5 liters. Strawberries $2 per pack (on the market $1).
Nutrition:
Meals are standard for Egypt, namely:
- breakfast: fried eggs, potatoes, two types of tasteless sausages (beef and chicken), vegetables or salads from yesterday's vegetables; ), several types of muesli, fried pancakes, a lot of pastries, you make coffee and tea yourself.
- lunch: two types of soups, which are quite edible and took something every time, as well as several types of rice, baked vegetables, potatoes, pasta is made with different sauces, chicken, beef, sometimes fish, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes etc. ), delicious pastries, you can take brewed coffee from the machine at the bar, there is a machine with juices like Jupi, I took it a couple of times for testing.
- dinner: the same as lunch, only cooked differently, only something else is always fried on the street on the grill. Fruits: tangerines, chopped melon, dates. There is a dietary menu: steamed vegetables, potatoes, chicken wings, etc. . .
Nobody was hungry and always fell out of the restaurant!
They did not drink alcohol, because we do not drink, but the people actively drank beer, wine, etc. , did not hear any complaints.
We fed one waiter in the restaurant, so we didn’t have time to sit down at the table and he always brought what we drink (cola, coffee) and always ran up several times and brought new portions. People, do not be stingy to give a few times a dollar!!!
Beach:
Well, I think it’s not necessary to describe the Red Sea, because because of it everyone goes here !!!
The beach of the Iceland View hotel and a shuttle rides every 15 minutes, but you need to take tickets at the reception in the morning. By the way, towels should also be taken from the hotel. on the beach is not issued.
The beach area is quite large and if you go for breakfast at 8 am and immediately go to the sea, you can take normal places.
There are two pantones, about 25 meters long. At first, the first 2-3 days it was good to swim, because. the hotels were little filled, but then a lot of our people came and by 11 hours it was no longer possible to swim, because. already reminiscent of Kirillovka))) Well, in general, everyone was happy, especially when they managed to see a two-meter Napoleon in the morning!
There is a bar on the beach, which starts serving drinks at 10 o'clock, and from 12 they give fast food, which is quite edible.
Entertainment:
The animation team always invited to a disco in the city, etc. Animation is also standard: darts, exercises, volleyball, etc. . .
In the evening we either went to SOHO to smoke a hookah ($5) or went to the Old Town to the market, don't pay more than $6. And now I'll tell you how they tried to divorce us! The second time we went to the old city, already at the exit from the bazaar, a boy runs up and says: what hotel? looks at the bracelet and says: five dollars, well, of course we agreed. We got into his car (not a taxi, but an ordinary Lanos), we go, we talk to him and he drives us to some hotel and says: get out, this is your hotel and give us 5 dollars... Well, we were indignant and said that this is not our hotel and he read the bracelet again and says: 15 dollars and starts driving. Well, I, like a real crest, did not let myself be bred and argued with him all the way, saying that he should stand at the police and we would go out, but then we agreed on 7 dollars. We arrived at the hotel, threw him $ 6 and went without listening to what he was lamenting there. So be careful and take only normal taxis (blue and white), and avoid private traders!! ! Well, a little distracted from the topic, let's continue about entertainment. We were at the Fores restaurant in the old town, they took seafood soup, boiled and grilled squid, boiled crabs, grilled mix (small lobster, crabs and squid). They didn’t eat everything and wrapped the rest in a bag for us. We washed everything down with good hibiscus and paid the bill for 67 dollars for 4 people.
I'll go back to the market and remind everyone that you need to bargain hard: divide the price in half))) We are already understood even there, because. not the first time we rest and our people here are known by sight; )
Tours:
- we went on a motorcycle safari from a guide, so we were lucky, because We rode only four + accompanying person and there were very good Honda quads with mileage of 5-6 thousand. Here, too, everything is standard: Bedouin tea, offers to drink a jar of cola for $ 4, a photo on papyrus for $ 7.
- we went to the Colored Canyon... well, here you can talk for a long time, especially about the stone under which you climb (who was he will understand) and climb the hill, but it’s very cool and for a change it will do. I also deceived the guide, who promised a check-in to a white sand beach in Dahab, but in fact we drove to some kind of hazy city beach where divers with a bunch of sea urchins dive and where the accompanying guide wanted to sell fins and suits for rent. This is the only negative from the trip, if you do not take into account the shaking in a cramped jeep for 2.5 hours one way and 30-40 minutes in the desert. I also want to warn you that when entering the canyon, passports are taken away from those who have a Sinai champ!!!
Also in front of the central pool there is a billiards table, three Sony pistas, slot machines for money and there is also a cooler with water that you can fill in your bottles and not buy for a dollar for 1.5 liters.
Staff:
I repeat, if you smile at them and speak politely, thank you, then they will treat you in the same way! And when the bartender at the pool bar heard that we didn’t drink, the attitude changed altogether)))
Cleaning is like cleaning, the floors are not washed and the bed is not changed, but the towels are changed.
Departure and departure:
The departure was early (at 8-45) and had to be evicted at 6 in the morning. The bus picked up and brought everyone to the airport. We handed over things, filled out migration cards and went to customs. The flight was on schedule, the flight was also normal. We flew to Zaporizhia and we were greeted by snow and homely weather))) It was also pinned that things from the plane were loaded into a GAZ-53, brought to the airport building and put on the floor by hand and everyone went looking for his Chumadan)))
It seems that he described everything, the hotel is so-so, I got off at once, although I spat on the first day (before that I only rested in fives), but then I got used to it and just rested. For my money, and it cost $ 1.300 + $ 200 for a New Year's Eve dinner for two for 7 days, plus if you consider that in NG all hotels were 20-30% more expensive, then the hotel will go for once and friends who want to go on vacation economically, I can recommend him.
In the next report I will post pictures and write a report on the celebration of the Egyptian New Year. If you're interested, ask.
