* For me, the main advantages of the hotel were 2 beaches and, accordingly, the choice of the one you like best. Both had a restaurant and a bar, and you could dine on the beach, of course, the dinners were much more modest than at the hotel, but the choice of 2 hot dishes, and several side dishes. Those. overeating problem was solved. I chose Sandy Beach, because. there is a more convenient entry into the sea, if you just want to swim, and if you want to see the underwater world, you need to go to the right, past the dive shop, along the coast, there is the so-called wild beach. Sunset on corals, i. e. slippers are required, and you need to go out very carefully, but the underwater beauties that have opened up justify this. The minus of this beach is the presence of the local population on it, but if you send them, or pretend that you don’t see or hear them, they don’t bother you anymore.
It is also convenient that both beaches are located in different places on the coast, Sandy next to the Old Market, Quirosize in Ras um sid. There is an opportunity to travel along the coast, Sandy further, but at the same time I timed the time to reach a maximum of 15 minutes, this is provided that at that time the road surface was being repaired there.
* The hotel is located near Naama, for the sake of the promenade we walked - 15 minutes, but everyone honks, stops in general, they are tired, then we went by the hotel bus (free - schedule at the reception) and back and forth, just not to hear all this caxophony.

* The room got a good one, they didn’t pay extra and didn’t change anything, although at first there was such a desire, but then we realized how lucky we were, because. our terrace overlooked a completely deserted picturesque clearing, opposite 100 meters through the fence of the Sonesta Club hotel. Room (3015) was close to the restaurant, pool, bar, reception ie. the most visited hotel places, and at the same time no one yelled under the windows at night, there was no music, the neighbors were quiet Poles and Russians.
The only thing that failed in the room was the shower, we contacted the reception several times. sometimes the pressure is weak, sometimes the water is a little warm, they fixed everything quickly, but it didn’t last long. Obviously, something there was constantly clogged from this pressure and changed, but this did not spoil the general mood.
* Restaurant - we ate all the time in the main restaurant, there were no comments on service, but the truth was that they always gave their waiter a dollar tip at dinner in the evening. A nice guy - he made compliments, he didn’t get into stupid things, he always knew what to bring from drinks and how much. You can go for drinks yourself, but I once went and noticed that the waiter brings colder wine than when you pour it yourself.
The food is delicious, but without frills, something was fried all the time on the street: fish, chicken, some small birds, it looks like pigeons (I haven’t tried it), long cutlets (jacket) and so on.
* Animation is, but takes place by the pool, and since. we were always on the beach from morning to evening (we arrived at the sea !!! ) I don’t know what they do there, how they entertain, I just saw volleyball after 4 pm.
We went to the evening animation once, the animators danced there with the whole team some kind of Greek dance with several scenes, it seemed to me more like an Irish one, but obviously they have their own interpretation. I didn’t like it, some kind of amateur performance, maybe of course there were some competitions, but we didn’t go anymore.
Every day at breakfast, on the tables lay a program describing the activities that will take place in the hotel for the day, some activities are paid.

* We went on only one excursion to Jerusalem, if in a word, then GRAND!! ! The road there is difficult, the way back is somehow easier, probably overwhelmed with impressions. The tour was paid for when buying a ticket (tour operator Capital) 140 dollars. we planned to go there for sure, and did not lose, buying from a hotel operator would be $ 60 more expensive..... The hotel guide was very dissatisfied, he checked the payment for a long time, everyone was waiting for some kind of confirmation.
* There are many impressions, you can’t write everything, ask, I will answer with pleasure.
