Rested from 11.12 to 20.12. 2017. The ticket was taken through "Let's go with us", tour operator - ANEX Tour.
They flew from Kyiv, "on the Turks", the company Onur Air, Airbus A321. There and back - an hour delay. There - in Russian, not a word at all, back - they tried to translate. No food, water, tea, instant coffee included. There is not enough space between the rows, like in a minibus. Fly 3.5 hours. A laptop with movies and a pair of headphones helped pass the time.
Upon arrival, in the hall, meets the guide from ANEX Tour. If you are flying with a company of 2 or more, to save time, if there are a lot of people, one person with vouchers - in line for migration cards, the other - in line for passport control. Cards can be filled out quickly, literally "on the knee". The guide will tell you the bus number from ANEX Tour, he delivers to the hotels. Drive to the hotel about 30 minutes.

The ticket was not expensive, so the departure time was: there - 14.15, back - 09.15. 2 days lost. But pluses with settlement and eviction. We were at the hotel around 8pm. They didn’t expect anything, they didn’t pay extra, they photocopied passports at the reception, put on bracelets and gave envelopes with a room key card and cards for beach towels. The staff speaks English, Russian is not very good. The porter carried the luggage to the room, the Van Dolar did not beg. The hotel is occupied by 15 percent, in addition to Bulbash were Germans, Austrians, Italians and a couple of Arab families. Hotel FOR QUIET REST.
The room is not bad, with a balcony, a large bathroom and a shower room, we had a large, comfortable double bed and a single one for a married couple. Dust under the bed and a couple of stains on the tulle did not interfere with our rest. A flat-screen TV with a couple of Russian channels, an empty refrigerator, a safe, a wardrobe, a table, chairs. There is no overhead light in the room, only a floor lamp and lamps on the bedside tables and table. The bathroom has a set of towels, hair dryer, liquid soap and toilet paper. Nothing else. The air conditioner was not included. Mosquitoes are poisoned, but if the balcony is open, they arrive. Helped "Raptor". By the way - the holes on all sockets are located VERTICALLY. There is a bottle of water in the room. They give you one, then you either draw from a cooler in a restaurant or lobby bar, or $ 2 for a bottle. The Internet costs the same for a day, so either buy a local SIM card, or there is Internet "on the ball" on the beach, you will find out the password from the beach animators.
In the morning we had breakfast and gathered for a meeting with the hotel guide from ANEX Tour, about which we were warned when we were taken by bus to the hotel. We came 8 people. He lays everything smoothly, everything is for you, only the last two days of the discount... And he is trying with all his might to sell excursions at prices at least 2 times higher than you can buy yourself. My wife politely sent him - offended, angry. Was sent a second time and rolled off. My opinion - if you go far (Cairo, Israel), it is probably better from the company. Everything local - they will offer both on the beach and in the city, and then how to bargain. In general, all the tales about insurance, which works only for a specific tour operator, about questionnaires that must be filled out - garbage. It was possible not to meet with the hotel guide at all. Need - he will find. There is his phone on the stand - you can call from the reception. And so the bus that carries to the coral beach was late. The bus runs like clockwork - 2 minutes late - you can only see it from behind. You need to sign up for the beach the day before, as well as for evening excursions, at the reception. In the same morning, take coupons for lunch. And maybe take beach towels with you. We had first on the beach took towels on the cards, and then they said to take with us from the hotel.
Thus, on the first day we got to the sandy beach, in a closed bay. In short - garbage, except for children. Knee-deep water and sand. Food at the beach restaurant on the "3" with a minus. We didn't go there anymore. The second beach with a coral reef, a renovated pier on stilts and a restaurant with food is already at “4” with a minus. The bus ride takes 6 minutes.

In the evening, the bus takes you to the city for 2 hours. You can do it yourself, by bus or taxi. You can get there by minibus for 10 pounds, a taxi 1-1.5 dollars or at the rate (18).
The sellers are clingy, and the prices are exorbitant. Do not rush to buy, chat with those who arrived earlier, take a closer look, and then bargain.
Alcohol is local - a gin and tonic cocktail and you can try beer. Everything else is bullshit. But this is my opinion. I took with me in my luggage. . .
I recommend taking with you, in addition to the first aid kit, wet and dry wipes, 10-20 bags of “T-shirts”, you can take a couple of small sealed vessels. Masks and snorkels can be purchased here. Definitely coral slippers. Fins - only if you dive, the water holds perfectly, you don't drown, even if you don't move at all.
All tired. Once again - the hotel is RECOMMENDED. I'll go myself again.
ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!! !
