Hello! While the head is not crammed with work and home fuss, I decided to write a review while fresh. I want to say right away that I didn’t forget my excellent mood at home, but at the same time I am demanding for what I pay.
The transfer was at a decent level: they met me, they told me where my bus was, they took me. In short, standard procedure.
Here with the settlement there were some difficulties. I basically didn’t want to give baksheesh, because I know that I won’t get a better number on holidays (a large influx of people), and I didn’t burn to settle in a quick way. Therefore, I had to sit in the lobby on the sofas and wait for 14:00. After this time, settled in a pretty good room, so not always. e. guarantees a good settlement.
The food at the hotel does not differ in a wide variety, but you will not go hungry. If you eat with the goal of eating well, then it’s better to buy at a food store instead of a tour and stay at home. Rice, pasta and vegetable lovers, this is your hotel.

Here you will not have any claims to nutrition. If it’s still hard for someone to come to terms with the menu there, there is always the opportunity to go to the supermarket, which is located on the right side (if you exit from the main entrance) from the hotel territory (it takes 10-15 minutes to walk, constantly without turning anywhere in the main ). I want to add a few words about the main restaurant: 1- a lot of staggering tables; 2- there are not enough cutlery (but when you put a plate of food on the table, after a while the waiter brings the cutlery).
The sea is very clean and warm, but from the pontoon the depth is 8 meters. You can enter the sea from the shore, but in special shoes and max. the depth will be no more than 1.5 meters, after that a sharp break. The reef is VERY beautiful and with many varieties of fish and corals. I went on a tour package for diving to about. Tyrant, so there is nothing to see there, the reef is smaller and there are practically no fish, because.
many tourists are thrown there and they scare all the fish. By the way, I took the tour for 40 USD. e. (traded, starting price 45) from Maxim (Egyptian guy). His point at the supermarket is located, you will not be able to pass by, because if you do not see him, then he will certainly see you. When buying this excursion, he foamed at the mouth and claimed that the dive for one person was MINIMUM 20 minutes, in fact it turned out differently. The entire tour consists of three stops. The first stop for diving cost people 7-9 minutes under water, the second 10-12 (and then only because there were few people left to dive), the third only for snorkeling. I can’t say anything about the quality of the same excursion from the hotel guide, because there is nothing to compare with, but about quad bikes, I can advise from the guide, because it is longer and more interesting than in other places ( in the first place at Maxim).
And a few more words about excursions, it is worth ordering excursions on this site onetour-egypt. ru, because I personally checked it. Service, organization and quality at a very good level. By the way, the quadrics MAYbe here will be the same as those of the hotel guide, but I did not check it myself (the price is less than that of the guide).

Now about the numbers. The rooms are spacious and clean. Cleaning WOULD be done every day, but we hung a "do not disturb" sign, because we did not piggy where we live. Bed linen was never changed, beds were only made. Only towels were changed. The quality of cleaning does not depend on baksheesh.
Take currency seriously, because ANY currency that is not in the safe becomes a priori a tip. I had 50+ UAH in shorts in my pocket. they went for tea (although I don’t know where they will change them, because I didn’t see UAH being accepted at the airport, and this is, after all, a representative office of the national bank). There were cases that 150 English. feet went for tea.
They do not touch the technique, probably do not yet know that there are such sites as a "flea market".

The moral of this review is this: the hotel lives up to its EGYPTIAN stars, you can go here for diving and quads.
