22/10/08 returned from Egypt.
The hotel is quite right for Egyptian 5*. Not Hayat, of course, but the money you pay is worth it.
Arrival, accommodation - quickly without problems, they didn’t give money, room 2118 was normal, the view of the pool, sea and mountains at the same time, the location is very convenient. Cleaning daily, towels every day. Once they forgot to put water on, without reminders they brought it an hour later. The tip was 1 US rupee.
They check how the rooms are cleaned, the hotel manager came a couple of times, he was interested in how they clean the room.
Feeding, for me it’s normal, monotonous of course, you’ll get bored in a couple of weeks, but what’s stopping you from going to a restaurant)) On the third day, they scored on “all inclusive” and dined at normal restaurants. The prices are quite reasonable, the food is delicious. The service is wonderful.
The territory of the hotel is large. Not that there is little greenery, just mostly lawns) In the neighboring Hilton, from this point of view, it is better. The first week there were not many people, then the number of tourists increased sharply. There were no sunbeds on the beach for breakfast. You can find sun loungers by the pool at any time.
Beach - sand, much better than the Hilton. The reef is not big, next to the shore, it is convenient to swim for children and those who are not very good swimmers. Outside the territory of the hotel, do not care, if only in the evening you look at the line at the Israeli border and during the day at the camels rummaging through local garbage dumps)
Animation - it seems to be present, children are entertained, for adults they arrange something like themed evenings. Did not go.
Now what to do.
Diver, she's diving. Diving from RedSeeWaterworld. I paid in Moscow time, having bought into advertising, such as when paying in Moscow time, the price is in dollars, on the spot in euros, and there is a Russian-speaking instructor. But for a circle for the 4th dive of the day at the hotel, you could pay less) plus you wouldn’t have to dangle 25 minutes every day to Taba. The hotel and the Hilton have their own dive center with their own boats. Renting equipment seems to be cheaper... But I can’t say for sure. (I have my own)
Excursion to Jordan in Petra - great. Departure 6-00 return 23-00. The cost is 220 dollars.
In Petra itself from 12-00 to 18-00 the rest of the time is the road, the borders. Tip: Don't waste your time on a guided walk through the canyon all the way to Petra. Jump into the tarantary and gallop through the gorge with a local Schumacher. )
Firstly, you will get an unforgettable experience, and secondly, you will have much more time to explore Petra. Everything that the guide tells you can be read on the internet)) I advise you to "cooperate" with someone and go down on a cart in two. The price will be the same) about 30 bucks) By the way, for the same cart, but back, they will ask you 80 . . Bargain. For two, we paid 10 bucks down, 40 bucks up. You can get around Petra itself a) on foot, b) on a donkey, c) on a camel.
Advice. Take a boy with a donkey with you, he will accompany you throughout Petra. This will give you the opportunity to save time on the return. Or take a non-tourist route. The locals know the mountains well. And even if your physical form leaves much to be desired, he will drag you to the top on the same donkey))) (By the way, the same kind of drive)) Try it - you will understand) Accordingly, you can see much more than you will walk with a guide.
Personally, I managed to normally see almost twice as much as those from the group whom the guide drove saw. the price of such pleasure is 30 bucks for 5 hours. The boy asked for 15, but gave more, just out of respect for the work he had done.
Excursion to Israel - I didn’t go, but according to those who went, they spent about 2 hours at the border, since the hotel is nearby and you can walk to the room in 5 minutes. ) People like it. Especially for those who travel for two days. For one, it turns out galloping through souvenir shops...
In general, summing up.
The hotel is not for parties. (unless you came with a company) Calm measured rest. Ideal for families with children and if you want to travel to Jordan and Israel. The dive is worthy.
