January 21 returned from vacation. It's time to write your thoughts.
We are tourists with some experience. There is little to compare with.
I will try to convey my feelings objectively.
TRANSFER.
We flew via Anex from Kyiv at a very attractive price of $ 1200 for three.
Flight, in the port of "Sinai only", meeting, 20-minute transfer to the hotel... and hello to the long-awaited Red Sea !!!!
Everything is like clockwork.
ACCOMMODATION.
At the reception, two chocolates "Alenka" and $ 20 were handed over, and they unobtrusively asked for a better number.
To which a charming hotel employee said with a smile that they have good rooms that cost 20 euros per day. But he will try to pick up a room with a sea view.
What kind of view we got from the room, see my video review.
ROOM.
Normal, with a safe, refrigerator, with a large bed. Plasma on the wall32.
Pretty spacious balcony.
The plumbing is all working, the air conditioner is fixed.
In a word, everything is standard, and there is nothing to write. )))

SERVICE.
There are no complaints about cleaning. Every day, and scrupulously.
Constantly twisted little animals on the bed.
It was not a pity to leave a buck.
NUTRITION.
Here, for some reason, I was unpleasantly surprised, having read reviews about almost impeccable nutrition, I did not find this.
In principle, everything was delicious, but the assortment is very small, there was very little meat in a week, mostly chicken and fish.
There are several types of salads and greens.
No desserts.
For breakfast the same thing every day, scrambled eggs, no sausages, pancakes, buns, greens.
I repeat . . in general, everything was delicious, but without variety. And it’s not that we are spoiled, no, because at home we don’t cook everything every day, but just like it or not, you compare food with trips to other hotels.
Another thing that personally bothered me a little was the dependence on the waiters, they don’t always come running at the first call, in such situations it’s easier for me to go to the bar and take what I need. And here zas, the bar of the restaurant, serves tourists only through waiters.
Now about a la carte restaurants, my personal rating is different from the generally accepted reviews.
I liked the Italian very much.
Both fish and meat menus.
Not bad Japanese, but if you discard their interesting show program for cooking in front of you, then there is nothing special there.
The Lebanese restaurant seemed to me just nonsense.
They brought a steamy brazier with bones....I don’t know....in general, for an amateur.
TERRITORY.
No complaints here.
Everything is green, beautiful, fragrant, the pools are clean and warm.
Everything is lit up at night.
ANIMATION.
The animation team is very good.
The guys plow to the fullest, but it is clear that the hotel, the animators are poorly financed.
Not a single artist came to the hotel for a week. Everything is invented and implemented by the animators themselves.
And a fire show and an evening of satire, and a belly dance, and more.

And it works out well for them.
BEACH AND SEA.
There are no complaints about the beach. Sunbeds, umbrellas, a lot. Everything is fine.
Towels are changed without problems.
But to the sea, as in other tourists, there are questions.
You can look at the corals only from the Pantone, where everyone is on top of each other.
Throughout the rest of the territory of the water parade ground, the depth is knee-deep, where it will be interesting only for children.
As it has already been said here, it is better to swim in the lagoon, which is located to the right of the hotel.
TRAVEL.
Went to town twice.
Once in the Old City. By taxi $15 both ways.
And once in Soho Square. Taxi $10 round trip.
Since we threw off two families in a taxi, it turned out to be for nothing. ))
Tourists who are not the first time in Egypt will not let you lie, when you go to Egypt not for the first time, there is absolutely nothing to buy on shopping.
As always, I was pleased with the strawberries for a kilo bucks purchased in the Old City.
So we brought it back home in the form of souvenirs.
Be sure to take the mango.
You will not find such a house, very tasty.
Soho Square, a one-time event. The singing fountain is weak, who was in Vinnitsa, for example, will agree with me.
There are also many beautiful copper statues of various fairy-tale characters and animals.
Contrary to the advice of the locals to go there in the evening, I advise you to go there in the afternoon.
You won’t lose much with the fountain, but it will be more interesting to look at and take pictures with all these statues during the day.
TOTAL.
If you look only at dry facts, then the Sea Life hotel is the most ordinary average hotel.
But if you look closely, there is something in it.
Despite some sides in the hotel and some shabby (after all, the hotel is not new), it feels harmony and coherence in everything. Rest passes without tension and peacefully.
Go to this hotel with confidence.
For those who are interested, I shot a short video review at the hotel.
