Review:
I returned from the hotel 2 days ago. It turns out that I was there in the second half of November.
Sea of ​ ​ impressions and information too. Where to begin...
I went for 9 days, this is not enough, I still wanted to stay for another week) It so happened that I went alone and at first I was very afraid to go to an Arab country. Girls, there's nothing wrong with that. Arabs are like children, if you treat them politely and with respect, they are your friends.
ARRIVAL
I speak English well and had no problems checking in. For Russian-speaking guests at the reception there is Olga.

Please do not make a fuss at check-in if you have been asked to wait for check-in. These are international standards. I had a standard room under the contract, not a sea view. If you have too, then do not be surprised that the room will be without a sea view. By the way, the rest of the rooms do have a sea view, although this is the 2nd line.
NUTRITION
Someone wrote that it is not varied))) I beg you, do you really have more than 10 types of salads for lunch at home? )) Very tasty, amazing soups and desserts. Don't be afraid to try new things, you'll love it. For example, I refused to eat soup with beans, and then it turned out that it was with fried pasta and insanely delicious. The restaurant has a permanent counter, at which the chef prepares pasta with any ingredients to choose from, delicious.
CLEANING
I made friends with the person cleaning my room and he did such things to me.
Once he even played a prank on me by folding a baby out of towels and tuning the TV to a cartoon channel. I go into the room, turn on the electricity, and from the bed some kid screams in Japanese. ))) It was scary and funny) Find out the name of the person who is cleaning your house, ask how he is doing and then even without a tip he will do everything for the cleanliness and beauty of your room. And yet, the Arabs are very respectful of women, do not think about them do not understand what. There was a scandal in my hotel. The Russian couple did not find any part of the lingerie in the room and accused the guy of stealing it. The guy was on his nerves for 2 days, as they value their work very much. And that in the end, they found it under the balcony, and the couple remembered that they hung it out to dry. Funny, but not for everyone.
BEACH
The road to the beach takes 5 minutes on foot, by mini bus 3 minutes.

Sometimes he picks up people on the way, so I never waited for him, and if I passed by, sometimes I jumped into him) I got up early every day and by half the 8th I was already on the beach. At this time, it is empty and you can choose which sunbed you like. Mattresses on the sun lounger brings a guy-employee, but I went for them myself, they lie near the diver's house. If he is free, he will bring you himself and lay a towel) There are 2 pontoons on the beach, if you like to enter the water slowly from the shore, go along the left one, there are no pebbles. On the very first day I saw a huge blue fish, it seemed that there were no such fish and it was drawn) In general, after a yacht trip to Ras Mohammed, I realized that it was stupid to look for such fish in the sea near the hotel and not only ours. If you want an underwater world, take a tour.
ANIMATION
Let's be honest...
If you say that you didn’t like the animation, then most likely you like to sleep until 12, on the beach you don’t lift your butt off the striped mattress, and go to bed at 2.00. Then of course there is no animation.
But if you want to have fun, the entertainment team is always happy to see you. The animation team is about 4-6 guys (Arabs, Italian, Africans). These guys can do everything! Not only to exercise, water aerobics, yoga, stretching, belly dancing and Latino. They sing, play volleyball, do somersaults, tap dance, lie on windows, swallow swords, break dance and at the same time they pour so much positive into you! They are very open, sociable and hospitable. From 10 am, music is turned on on the beach (and what! aesthetes are right) and every hour some new type of activity begins. Go to each of them, try it, and then you will go to what you like best.
All this takes place right on the beach in the gazebo and, if you wish, you can not go into the shade, but sunbathe in the process.
In the evening, evening shows are held in the nearby Sol Sharm, where our animators surprise you with an even greater palette of their skills. Disco after the show. But most of all I loved the intermediate moment - the last dance of the show or the first disco is the Pacha dance (maybe Pasha). Its elements are taught every day on the beach, and in the evening the animators stand in front, 20-40 people behind and dance it all together, how great it is! You're just a member of the musical)
CITY
Buses run to Naama Bay 3 times a day, they cost 2 euros back and forth, and 3 euros to the Old Town. Naama has everything you need: photo studios, shops, hookahs, clubs, tour agencies and even McDonalds)) The old town is a market.

I went there with a guy of impressive size and still I wanted to finish this shopping as soon as possible, because the address like “Bro” or “Drugan” made my companion very nervous) Everywhere they try to divorce you, either with the price of the goods, or with the exchange rate, or with pronunciation)) They like to say thirty (30) very much, but keep in mind forty (40) Be careful. I liked shopping in Naama Bay more, it is somehow more civilized there and the prices are not so aching. I wanted to buy beads in Naama, they cost 12 dollars, they tried to sell me the same ones in the Old City for 150 pounds, which is almost 30 dollars. Nothing right? ) But when I bought myself a straw hat, they asked me for 8 euros and I didn’t bargain, well, I don’t know how. So he apparently felt bad for me so sorry that he brought me 3 euros in change)))
TOURS
I took an excursion to Ras Mohammed on a yacht. This is amazing!!
At 9 am you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the port, where you board a yacht and sail to the nature reserve. Three times in different places you snorkel in the sea and the Russian-speaking instructor tells and shows you the fish. Attention, buy an underwater disposable camera, it costs about 10 euros. I regretted not taking 2! In one film for 27 frames. If you have one, save the frames for the last dive, there is the most beauty. They provide food and drink on the yacht, if you need a life jacket, they are given free of charge. You will be brought back at 1.00. By the way, I took an excursion on our beach in the company Mr. Diver. Together with fins and a mask, she cost $ 40. And at my guide in Mostrevel it cost 55 dollars. But trust me, it's worth it.

Adviсe:
- smile at people, be open, this is very conducive to you staff
- on the second floor above the reception there are 3 computers, they can be safely used to download photos from the camera to a USB flash drive.
it's free and anytime. just don’t forget to delete the photo later, you don’t want to leave a memory of yourself there for years)
I brought my hair dryer. at the reception they give a hairdryer, but I don't know how powerful it is. you can also get an iron there.
- if you don't drink much, don't shop at duty free) the hotel has enough alcohol on the beach, in the restaurant, and in the bars. I didn’t finish my bottle of martini in 9 days)
- go to shows, participate in exercises and dances, it is very invigorating and saturates the rest.

Outcome! The hotel is great. Now I understand that there is still a lot and I didn’t see it at the hotel: I didn’t go to the gym, I didn’t go for light snacks at the La Gourmet restaurant, I didn’t hear how the Italian sings in the bar at the reception, and so on.
If you have any questions regarding the hotel or the city, write to us. I will be glad to answer!
