So, the Naama Bay Promenade Mountain Resort 5* hotel. (second line)
Benefits that are unconditional:
- Internet. Coverage is available on the entire territory of hotels of the 1st and 2nd lines and near the sea. You don't need to buy a sim. A small message from the hotel guide - do not buy sim at the airport, there is a very high chance that you will be scammed. By the way, we had the opportunity to make sure of this. Our neighbor became an unfortunate example of this.
- Walking distance to cent, restaurants, pharmacies, fixed price shops (Mango, Fixed prices). Minibuses to any point of the city. Much cheaper than a taxi.
- a wonderful beach for children and those for whom the reef is not the main attraction.
Next, for those who appreciate a quiet, peaceful vacation - couples with small children, elderly people and just lovers of silence.
All activities take place in the hotel on 1 line, and after returning to your room, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of relaxation and peace.
Therefore, in the evening, you can relax at the bar in the middle of the pool or go to the 1 line and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of drive and music.
In my opinion, this is wonderful - everyone can choose what he likes. There are no restrictions on movement between lines 1 and 2.
Now specifically about my vacation and why I will return here more than once.
My friends and I got to the hotel at 8:45 p. m. We were put on bracelets and immediately sent to dinner. In the restaurant, they tried to feed us everything that was available, they offered us all the dishes, and we only had time to refuse. We ate until 9:30 p. m. and no one made it clear with a word or facial expression that dinner was only until 9 p. m. and we were detaining the waiters and cooks. There are only smiles and wishes for a good rest on the faces.
The smile of the staff accompanied us throughout the rest. Never, anywhere did we feel unnecessary or redundant. They always came to our aid, always cheered us up and wished us a good rest.
Animation. At exactly 10:00 a. m. the boys and girls started their work. You could check the clocks on them. Charging, yoga, aqua aerobics, volleyball, darts and a lot of other things. They invited everyone, but were not intrusive, which was important to me. They politely invited, told about the whole program for the day, but treated with respect if you just wanted to lie down, swim and sunbathe.
Food. Comrade is not everyone's color and taste. But always 2 types of chicken, 2 types of fish, beef, lamb, fresh vegetables, pastries, fresh fruits, vegetables. Shrimp, squid, grill. It was more than enough for us. Many thanks to all the restaurant staff. If you don't have enough of something, then you are really gluttonous. I'm on a diet at home, because I brought extra kilograms. It was impossible to give up some dishes.
Cleaning. Linen and towels were changed every day. Shampoo, soap and shower gel were also added. I did not wipe all surfaces with a white handkerchief to look for dust.
I didn't come to rest for that.
I am grateful to the employees who cleaned, cooked, washed and did everything for me that my vacation was wonderful.
You can form your own impression only after visiting this beautiful hotel.
I hope you like it as much as I do. If not, I won't be disappointed, because I plan to come again in October with my friends and again enjoy the beautiful hotel and talk to the wonderful people, Naama Bay Promenade (Mountain Resort 5*), I look forward to the next meeting.
1) None of the pools work, there is no heating, the water is cold!
2) The dining room is dirty! No normal dishes! No food!
3) The internet in the rooms is weak and often disappears!
4) Employees from the massage parlor constantly walk on the beach and pester tourists! They beg to give them a massage!
5) There is no warm water in the bathroom
water!
6) On a positive note - excellent entry into the sea! Well done animation team!
After reading different reviews and having seen enough of different reviews, we still dared to come here.
The hotel is tired, yes! But I'll tell you honestly - the whole of Egypt is very, very tired. The locals shamelessly squeeze all the juice out of the country, in principle, like ours from Odessa and Yalta.
So if you need a beautiful picture - you definitely do not come here.
The territory is old, the furniture in the rooms is also very old, the curtains are torn, the plumbing is in the same condition.
But there is always hot water, clean bedding, and good Wi-Fi throughout.
Cleaned every day, if you ask them not to do it, they don't do it. The only thing is - take flypapers for flies from home.
The food is homemade. Don't expect lobsters with shrimp here. You definitely won't leave hungry.
The staff and I were very friendly, once again thank you please do not be lazy to say. Accordingly, the attitude towards us was exactly the same.
To the sea exactly 3 minutes. The beach is relatively clean, for me, as a non-swimmer, a smooth entry into the sea was a priority.
The sun beds are very old, and there are not enough of them for everyone (if you don’t take it in the morning).
On the first line there is a gym and a free sauna (until 15:00)
10 minutes walk to Naama Bay market. Local nai . . fishing as always at the highest level)))
If possible, enter trades in local currency, and pay by card - it will be much cheaper. Divide the prices by two at once - and you will be happy.
Their stuff is really high quality. T-shirts, tracksuits, shoes, bedding - all this can be bought at a good price.
They cook seafood in their spices, and accordingly you feel the taste of spices, and not the usual shrimp.
So immediately ask to be boiled in ordinary salted water, as we are used to.
The minibus to the old town runs every minute. Travel for two so as not to bother one dollar.
Soho Square is the same, just in the other direction.
I highly recommend visiting the Dolphinarium. Swimming with dolphins cost us $140 for two for 30 minutes each. (You can compare with home prices). We decided not to go to the show.
A video recording on a flash drive in local currency cost us $35, although initially the price was $41. Photos were not taken ($ 5 for 1 photo) - the quality is not the best.
In general, if you are traveling in a good mood and with good company, you will not pay attention to the shortcomings of the hotel.
Suddenly there will be questions - I will answer with pleasure) akishin. official Instagram page.
1. Hotel: not bad, the area is green, quiet. Unobtrusive music plays throughout the day.
2. Number: 542. First floor, pool view. Clean, comfortable, spacious enough.
3. Nutrition: varied. Every day there is fish, meat, different side dishes, two soups to choose from, super pastries, fruits - bananas, oranges, tangerines, pomegranates, etc. Well, in general, in 6 full days, I gained a few kilograms.
4. Swimming pool: heated.
5. Entrance to the sea: the beach is sandy, you can enter the sea without special shoes.
One minus - the coral is more dead than alive.
Towels began to be issued at half past ten in the morning, when some people were already leaving the beach. Then they began to give out at 9. Towels are not changed during the day.
Water is provided on the beach from 10 am. There is only one bottle in the room upon check-in.
Next, be careful when checking in. Promenade Mountain is a hotel on the second line across the road, a Beach on the first. There were cases when people come to Beach, and they were settled in Mountain. The Beach hotel is more expensive, the food is better there, and tourists who want to move from Mountain to Beach are charged an additional $ 40 per day.
Food is a separate issue. A meager choice on the second line, no one heard about the devices that need to be packed during the covid times. There were cases of poisoning. If you do not drink alcohol, then you can eat in this hotel mainly pastries. Maybe the food gets to the kitchen fresh, but what do you understand, the kitchen in the Mountain is a shack knocked down from the boards near the hotel. It’s hellish hell there and most likely the products just quickly become unusable.
Also, in the mornings near the reception, Promenade Mountain smells strongly of burnt food from the dining room, if you are sensitive to smells, you will experience discomfort.
The only thing I can say about Mountain is that the rooms are decent if you're lucky.
We didn't even have mosquitoes, although other tourists complained.
The staff is trying very hard. It may not always work out within the rules of the hotel, but at least they try.
Another plus is a good entry into the sea, but this is certainly not the merit of the hotel.
In general, before the trip, I advise you to read the reviews and weigh for yourself all the minuses and pluses.
Room overlooking the garden right next to the pool (everything as requested). Beautiful reception))) Waterfalls ...a stream - eyes rejoice))
In terms of food, everything is as usual for Egypt, without frills (but if you want to eat well, then you need to go to Rihsos, etc. ).
Grilled vegetables, salads, potatoes, pasta. always two kinds of soups. Always two types of meat and fish. Melons, watermelons, dates, dried apricots. Lots of delicious and beautiful desserts and cakes.
We were always fed and satisfied.
The bar was open on the beach from 11 am to 10 pm. It's a bit inconvenient that you can only get water at this bar, and you should always take care in the evening to have it in the morning. Give bottled water 0.5.
I was very pleased that the hotel works without bracelets and cards for towels. Not once during the entire vacation was there not enough towels somewhere, I came to the beach and took it, and when I left I gave it away. and also at the pool...
very comfortably.
Animation was) Charging and water aerobics every morning and evening near the bar on the beach Miss hotel, mister, karaoke.
Thanks to the gastronation girl Nastya, she is smart, she always communicates with guests and solves everything ...both mini-problems and more))))
We were afraid that due to CoViD -19 the rest would not be very good, but no, everything went perfectly.
The location of the hotel on naama, in the evening you can walk.
The sandy beach is wide, there are a lot of sunbeds. Corals are not needed)
There is no reef on this beach, but if you want, you can swim to the right or left and enjoy snorkeling.
Hotel recommend)
The territory is very well-groomed, it seems that a gardener is sitting under each bush. A lot of flowers, bushes, palm trees - everything blooms and pleases the eye. The cuisine is not bad, you will not be hungry, the chefs are trying to diversify the menu in moderation. Internet catches throughout the hotel. The main problem with this hotel is the management, or rather the lack of it. The three of us went, on the third attempt we were settled in a room for three. The first and second times they brought us to a double room, we had to return to the reception, and since we were in the second line, it was not very convenient, especially at 22-30 to run across the road.
Another problem on Saturday, Sunday, local youth come to buzz and if you are not lucky, you will be without sleep for a couple of nights. Although it is not entirely clear why to accommodate such vacationers nearby, when the hotel in the second line is loaded by 15 percent, and besides, to carry out renovation in the settlement area. And one more cant - vacationers of two hotels are served in one catering point and situations arise from time to time when there are no empty seats or they had to have dinner at 21-30. It’s somehow not very pleasant to watch two adult men butt heads at a table so that their family can have dinner.
And in the second line, if you walk along the perimeter, the implementation of protection raises a big question. If you are not scrupulous, go here, you will get a lot of pleasure.
