Good afternoon. Just a couple of days ago we returned from Sharm and finally matured for a review. I read a lot about Rehan, both good and bad, there were some concerns, but in vain. Again, it’s worth saying that it’s the first time abroad, so there’s nothing to compare with , nevertheless, I will try to state everything objectively. In order not to consider the review as advertising, I will not mention the tour operator and the tour company. And now, point by point:
1) The flight went perfectly, almost without delay. We arrived at about 17-30. A representative of the company was waiting at the airport, approached him, checked in, said the bus number. constantly laughing, etc. After 15 minutes we were already at the hotel.
2) We stood in line for 5 minutes at the reception, filled out a questionnaire and were handed the keys to the room (935-6121), cards for towels and put on bracelets. They told us not to touch the bag, the porters themselves would bring it. We waited 30 minutes, then we decided to take a walk around the hotel . When we returned, the luggage was standing near the room. As for the room, overlooking the road, Rehanu 5 * and the sea. The bed was a double bed... and that suited us just fine, so we didn’t pay anything extra. The room itself was very well washed, sanitary equipment it shone, but the curtains were not ironed, dirty, the chairs were worn, the bed linen was also not quite ironed and had small stains. The towels were also not very new, but clean. And at the end of the rest, it was clear that the only thing we could really complain about was number. Well, actually, all of the above was not a problem for us, because. we spent 6 hours a day (sleep) in the room. The room was cleaned every day (they left a dollar each). A couple of times they sculpted all sorts of figures, apparently there wasn’t enough imagination for more. Towels are changed if they are thrown on the floor. This is actually written on the info sheet. They didn’t figure it out with the safe. Valuable things were kept in a suitcase, under lock and key. Nothing was missing) There were also 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator, which they successfully replenished from the cooler on the first floor. drain, after taking a shower, several centimeters of water were collected. According to the number, everything seems to be...

3) FOOD. On the first evening, they scored all sorts of nonsense, they didn’t repeat such mistakes again. From vegetables, you can only eat tomatoes and peppers, the rest is very fresh. There is a fairly large selection of vegetable salads, but again, not all are tasty. maybe. Also in the morning they give pancakes, melon salad / grapes, which can be poured over with yogurts. Sausage / cheese is also very bland, like soy sausages.
LUNCH. For lunch there is always a considerable amount of side dishes, various meats - chicken, liver, fish (not very pleasant), soups (did not try). DINNER. Here are the most pleasant memories associated with dinner - we constantly cooked several types of grilled meat, vegetables. Everything was very tasty. They gave crabs, but they tasted disgusting. Every evening there were watermelons. By the way, they gave fruit all the time: dates, bananas, melon, watermelon, it seems guava, peaches, figs, grapes. Like everything. Ice cream for lunch.
And now a separate story-SWEET. It's just fantastic. It's hard to describe, you can clearly see everything in the photo. on the 3rd-4th you understand that it is quite monotonous. If it weren’t for the sweet, I put no more than 5 points.
4) Now for alcoholic / non-alcoholic drinks. In the main restaurant in the morning - tea (4 types), coffee (5 types, automatic). Lunch and dinner - beer, wine, brandy, vodka, whiskey, tequila... and also cola , fanta, sprite, water. They make various cocktails in bars, but we personally didn’t particularly like them. Beer is poured from bottles at lunchtime, in the evening from a machine. The first couple of days they drank only it. Of course, it’s very weak, but you can drink. We didn’t get much pleasure. Next time we’ll take with us from Duty Free. We still really lacked normal juices. There’s only UPI. But this is a well-known fact.
5) The territory of the hotel is very green. And this is a fact. I can’t say that it’s very big, but it’s very beautiful thanks to the huge number of plants. we didn’t swim in the pools, we constantly went to the sea. Well, actually there’s nothing more to say about the territory. Everything is clear, this is one of the advantages of the hotel.

6) SERVICE. Quite normal. At least no one has ever been rude, as some wrote. But, of course, the attitude towards foreigners is completely different. With them, the waiters are more friendly, constantly greet, ask how are you, bring them alcohol to the table, the rest you have to stand in line. But this is not a problem. The queues disappear in literally 2 minutes, and if you give a dollar, they will wear you the same way in the evening. In the restaurant, they don’t snatch anything from your hands, they only take empty plates, they constantly wish you something pleasant. In short, claims no.
ANIMATION: went every day. From 22 to 23-00. Pretty interesting shows. Karaoke, fakir show, folk dances, the best couple of the hotel, etc. Funny, nice guys.
7) BEACH. Go to the beach about 5 minutes. at 8, it’s generally empty. Although in the middle of the day there are a lot of sunbeds free. You can refresh yourself with burgers and potatoes, or cocktails (alcoholic and without. ). There is a pontoon on the beach, 50 meters. As a rule, the red flag weighs up to 11, but who wants to swim, swim. By the way, there are quite a few moray eels, though small ones. Be sure to buy slippers, a mask and a snorkel.
8) We went on an excursion to Ras Mohammed. We decided to buy from a hotel guide, since the difference was not great (they started discounting prices quite well). If you don’t want to spend a lot of time on an excursion, it’s ideal. with a very beautiful reef. During the tour we swam 3 times. Then there was lunch with the Bedouins. Very tasty and interesting.
Conclusion: Pretty good hotel with a very green area, normal food. relax - then this hotel is for you.
