We stayed at the hotel for 11 days in October. First of all, I want to say thank you to Azur Airlines. Accurately and on time.
Now about the hotel.
Territory. Big, beautiful, well-groomed. Lots of shops and quiet corners. If you want - run, jump, have fun with the animators. If you want, find a secluded corner and sit yourself. Electric cars and two toyota hiaces drive around the territory, very convenient. There are two slides.
Animation. Great animation. Entertain all day long. My son enjoyed playing darts and bochu. Special thanks to Zhenya and Nastya from Ukraine.
Number. Good room, two large beds plus a sofa. Great view from the third floor. You can see the whole bay! You lie on the bed in the evening, and you see how the moon is reflected in the sea. Upon arrival, they found a bottle of wine and fruit in their room. It was a wedding anniversary, in the morning they brought breakfast to the room, plus again a bottle of wine)

Nutrition. There is no super huge variety, but we don’t need it. Everything is delicious. For example, I liked the Hungarian goulash soup more than in Budapest. Special thanks to the Italian restaurant on the beach. And if you say that you have a DR or a wedding anniversary, they cover it separately in a cabana on the beach.
Sea and beach. The beach is cleaned naturally every day. Crabs run along the beach in small shells. The sea is beautiful, we bought a mask and snorkel in a shop across the street. $20. What is the price in Kyiv, I do not know. If you are with children, you can move to the left to the beach of the neighboring hotel. There is a bit of entry into the sea on the sand. My son saw a stingray a couple of times, I didn't.
Alcohol. Alcohol is good. Good local rum, we liked it. Near the pool, bartenders don’t really take a steam bath and make gin and tonic, for example, 50/50. Bar by the sea - delicious Caesar salad and panini with tuna. About the Churchill bar is written in every review. Great bar, delicious cocktails. Beer is like beer. I don't particularly understand it. But it's always nice to get out of the Red Salt Sea and drink a glass (two) of beer)) There is vodka, gin, whiskey, tequila, but I haven't tried it either. Surprisingly, I liked the wine more on tap than in the bottle. Haven't tried red or pink.
Excursions and guides. Amir Fahim is an excellent guide. Unlike his colleague Muhammad. Well, it’s not given to a person to work with people...

I took an excursion to Israel / Palestine with a stop at the Jordan River. We arrived at the border with Israel at 23-45. Sat for over 4 hours under the immigration room. They didn't want to let go. Many people go there to work and never come back. And from Egypt the easiest way to get to Israel. I have an annual working Schengen, because of him they did not want to let me in. They rummaged through the whole bag, the phone book on the phone, sms, viber... They even asked me to show a photo from a vacation from Egypt. Be sure to take your voucher and return ticket. And take more pictures of the hotel) If they say that we pass the border for 15 minutes, do not believe it. The tour is interesting but exhausting. We left on Sunday at 19-40, arrived on Tue at 3-50 in the morning. You can buy from guides for $110, across the road for $85 (but without stopping at the Jordan River). Lunch is included in the article. Lunch is delicious. Potatoes, vermicelli, rice, a la barbecue, fish, chicken, salads. Be sure to take 1.5-2 liters of water with you. 0.5 water on the bus - $ 1. Upon arrival at the Dead Sea, you will first be dropped off at the store. Soap - $ 5, hand cream - 5 pieces - $ 20. After walking 30-40 meters soap - 5 shekels, cream - 5 shekels (1 pc). 1 dollar - 3.7 shekels. The same is true in Palestine. For example, 33 Bethlehem candles - $ 10, near the Church of the Nativity - $ 3.
General summary. In general, I liked the hotel. Especially the first 8 days. Few people, no queues, everything is decorous and excellent. Then a new arrival arrived and, plus, people from 3 hotels were moved to us. And then it began... redneck occupation of sunbeds on the beach early in the morning, flea market in the restaurant, queue at the bar. Towel stolen from the pool. I will not prevaricate, but we left home with pleasure.
There are shops across the road, buy Egyptian sweets there, they are not in the dutik, except for dates of a long time ago.
Smiling lifeguard on the beach, very fond of our seeds. Do not regret 20 UAH, buy and treat him.
If you have read this far, then my review was interesting to you. Have a nice rest!
