Hotel.
The hotel is small. The territory is green, well-groomed. From the sea on the first line, next to Shores Amphoras, opposite the Sharm Inn. Hadaba area.
The room stock has a shabby appearance. It is clear that the hotel is not new, but still it was possible to change something gradually. Built in separate buildings with 10 rooms. The farther from the sea, the larger the room number. I lived in room 4415, this is 4th line from the sea, 4th house on the line, 1st floor, 5th room on the floor. Most of the rooms have either a balcony or a terrace. I had a terrace with access to the utility building, although it is inconspicuous, lined with greenery, so it did not interfere. The standard room is small. The room has a creepy old TV that is not clear. Furniture classical for Egypt. Shower. There is liquid soap and shower gel. You may not take your own. There is a hair dryer, but it’s creepy, you can just dry your hair, but you can’t do the styling. On the terrace there is a table and 2 chairs. For some reason, electricity worked even without a key card, although it should not have.
Staff.
Upon check-in, they were treated to a cocktail and asked to wait. We waited for 30 minutes, there was a check-in of 10 people and simply did not have time. The noisy company was settled at the very end of the hotel, closer to the road and away from the vacationers. : ) Forgot to give bracelets, on the trail. the day had to be remembered. True, and without a bracelet, we dined in a restaurant. Only the guide drew our attention to their absence. Everyone, except Italians, is given orange bracelets. The Italians have their own club and yellow bracelets. When checking out, they blocked the door to the room from 11.40! Although the check-out hour is 12. I went to the reception, expressed dissatisfaction, they didn’t even apologize. Just asked if there were things left in the room. A trifle, but unpleasant. The cleaner cleaned every day, hinted at money, but did not insist. Towels were changed daily, they were washed, but far from white and not new.
Nutrition.
Average. You won't go hungry, but you won't experience much variety either. There was a lot (for Egypt) of fruit. Guava, apples, pears, mini bananas, fresh (green and pink) dates were every lunch/dinner. a couple of times there was a watermelon, often oranges. Once there was ice cream. There were green lettuce leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots from breakfast to dinner. For a side dish, potatoes or rice, pasta was cooked separately. The potatoes were tasteless. The meat was in the form of chicken, turkey, beef. Breakfast was one every day - eggs, sausage, cheese, toast / rolls, tea / coffee, milk breakfast. There was fish almost every day for lunch/dinner. Twice there were calamari.
It seems to have listed a lot, but somehow without a soul. On the first dinner, I was generally upset, because for some reason the beef (not bad) was stewed with sausage : ( for volume or something....Then the beef was made better. I adapted to eat more greens and take several types of meat. Because the side dish was tasteless. Potatoes are somehow undercooked, rice, on the contrary, is dry. Next to the meat there is always sauce, there is no side dish without it, so use it.
On the beach they gave white pizza (only cheese), greens and vegetables, cold pasta (salad with fish) and hot. Grilled wings a couple of times.
Beach.
Shared with Golden. Goldens can be seen on other towels and gold bracelets. Amforas beach cannot be used. The beach is spacious, there is enough space. The pontoon is stationary, small, two exits into the sea. The corals are semi-alive, but there is something to see. If it's your first time, you'll love it. I wanted better. The main color of the corals is yellow, in some places it comes across purple and a little blue. Standard fish (groupers, dascillas, lionfish, surgeons, heilins), a lot of small flocks, nothing special, but beautiful. On the last day we saw a beautiful big moray eel.
You need to sail towards Amforas. Between the Ritz-Carlton and Amforas there is a place where flute fish live.
Tours.
I took Vip-RasMohamed from TezTour. Well....Tezy completely unbelted. They are the largest and just "zazhralis" mine. I asked the guide how VIP differs from NEVIP, except for the price, he replied that the quality of service. I don’t know what I meant, because the bus is ordinary. Late by 40 minutes. We were taken to the lake of desires, to the mangrove, a break, 2 baths near the corals. The lake of desires and the so-called rift is a simple buffation. Landmarks sucked from the finger. The first swimming stop was average, the corals were half-dead, the second one was better, there was already more color, but also deeper. Although I expected more from the reserve. Maybe they just don’t take tourists to good places so as not to be trampled? Outraged that it says "drinks included" but in fact 0.5 water per person for the whole day. At the same time, before leaving Sharm, they were brought to a gas station, where a rental and a supermarket are three times more expensive than in the city. Water in the city costs 2 pounds, and here 25! Wow. Mask rental $5. I got the impression that the guides have a rollback, although all Tezovites hang out there. After the tour, lunch (at three o'clock in the afternoon) at the Old Market in the Red Fish Sea restaurant. Lunch was normal, they gave fish, squid, a couple of shrimp. After lunch, the guide took everyone by the hand and led them to his shop, this is called "shopping in the old city".
Findings.
The hotel is not bad, but for the same money you can relax better. Compare with Coral Beach Rotana Resort Montazah. It is also a four and the price category is the same, but it definitely wins in terms of food quality, service, and the beauty of the reef. Alohi's plus is the location, you can walk until 1001 nights, you can hit the road to the old city. Travel from the hotel to the Old Market - $ 3, to Naama Bay - $ 5. Bus to Naama from the hotel twice a day for free. A free lunch at the Amphora restaurant is bad, you should not go, you will remain hungry. It is worth going to the fruit market and taking a walk, opposite the fruit market there is a cafe where they make good fresh juice. From sugar cane 5 pounds. Go from the side of the entrance to the market straight to the fruit rows and the cafe will then be on the left.
