The choice and especially the quality of the food was impressive.
There was something for everyone and very tasty. Be it in the main restaurant or on the beach.
1. Territory.
I liked the fact that the hotel is large enough or maybe there were not many people, but the crowd of people happened only at dinner and at the animation after dinner. On the territory there is a tennis court, table tennis by the pool, darts, in the neighboring hotel Solymar there is table football and billiards. There are playgrounds and Kids Club (you can leave children on the territory of other hotels). There are also hammocks where you can relax and enjoy the sea view.
2. Number.
We arrived at the hotel at about 11:00, settled in room 6415 after 30-40 minutes. The room is not bad, but there is no view from the balcony at all and it is far from the sea, but next to the restaurant and the pool. The room is good, nothing broken was noticed, the guy who does the cleaning almost constantly on the spot, it was possible to change the towels even several times a day, he also cleaned every day.
After 3 nights, we managed to move to the nearest building in room 2013 with an excellent view of the sea, for 4 nights we paid $ 60 extra, but it was worth it. It is very cool to wake up and see the sea, fall asleep to the sound of the sea, the balcony doors were almost always as open as possible. Everything in the room worked and nothing was broken. But the cleaning in this room was worse.
3. Nutrition.
The food is excellent, you can take the food yourself after wearing disposable gloves. There are no queues. The selection is good, especially the large selection of desserts. A lot of fruits. There were always enough tables inside, on the terrace everything is often busy. We did not skimp on tips, so we were always found a table on the terrace for three (the waiters take their phone or glasses of wine).
It is also possible to dine in 2 A La carte restaurants. We only had dinner at a restaurant on the beach, as the guide misinformed us and said that you can choose only one, 2 days before check-out, we decided to sign up anyway and we were told that it was possible and that we had dinner already on the beach is not a problem, but we were offered for the near future on 11/17/2021, and we have a flight on the 17th afternoon)) We liked the restaurant on the beach, we ate seafood with a gorgeous sea view. They say that the second restaurant is better in terms of tastes and service, but unfortunately I won’t write anything about it.
4. Sea.
We love to swim from the pontoon, there was almost always a green flag and there were no problems with this. There is a coral reef, more or less alive, nothing unusual was seen from the living creatures. We saw a stingray, someone on the pier said they saw a turtle, but we were not lucky with that. If you want to swim with turtles, then I advise you to take a boat trip to Marsa Mubarak, last year we saw several turtles and a sea cow, they filmed it, the emotions are chic.
In our hotel, the red flag was noticed only 1 time during the week, we swam in the lagoon. This is interesting in its own way, but you definitely need shoes, as there are hedgehogs.
5. Water park.
Open from 10:00 to 17:00 with a break from 12:00 to 13:00. During the break, you can eat right in the water park, burgers, snacks, etc.
The slides are cool, there are many of them, but some work all day, and some only in the afternoon. All slides are possible if the child is taller than 120 cm. Our child is 8 years old and 122 cm tall.
6. Service.
We gave tips in bars, to waiters in restaurants, so we always approached almost immediately and offered to bring drinks. The staff is friendly and trying, with any question you can approach the reception, resettlement, you need something in the room, you lost a thing (the child lost his jeans, the next day they took it to the reception). Any of our requests was not ignored!
7. Animation.
I won’t write much, since we only went to the evening animation. After dinner, aqua make-up for children, then a mini disco and after a show for adults. Animation also took place at the pool and beach, but we did not participate.
8. Cons.
Of the minuses, I can only note that the territory is already a little shabby and needs repair in many places, for example, the concrete paths are cracked and the paint has worn off, the facades of the buildings are painted with different shades of paint, the lawn is not the most beautiful, and in some places, to the right of the reception, closer to the sea not at all, just covered with sand.
Also, there is construction going on near building 20, spoiling the view.
That's why I'm taking off stars for this review.
I liked the hotel, but it was not included in the list of those that you must definitely return to.
Have a good holiday everyone!
Our flight was delayed, so we arrived at night, we were well fed and settled. The room is just a fairy tale, near the little sea, 5001, who knows, hello to you!
The territory is large, well-groomed, the pools are super, the sea was a red flag a couple of times, then yellow, so they swam and looked at the beauty.
The water park is also worth a visit.
The food is a huge plus of this hotel, delicious, varied and just super.
The minus, as for me, not the hotel, but Mars in general, is the prices in stores and pharmacies, who needs to take something from Egypt, this is not here. Everything is expensive, the cities are far away, it's just not Sharm or Hurghada.
And the hotel is 10 out of 10.
The hotel is not bad, the water park is cool, the children only hung out there. The seashore is not very, dangerous for children. The food is varied, tasty, BUT apparently not always fresh.
After a couple of hours we were settled, the rooms are not bad, the territory is well-groomed, the location of the buildings is good.
All the staff at the hotel are very pleasant.
In the restaurant and near the pools there are waiters who offer you different drinks.
Good animation, Bailey and Mario made our day varied.
Well done guys talked with vacationers joked, for the animation I will put 5+.
The restaurant was also pleased with the delicious varied food there were a lot of seafood (grilled shrimp, crabs, squid, fish).
There have always been many fruits (apples, bananas, grapes, pomegranates, mangoes, dates, pears, pineapple, etc. ).
Very tasty A la Carte restaurant with seafood, I advise you to visit.
At the AIRPORT we bought a SIM card for 15 Euros, and installed it there. Later, when leaving, they were looking for a paper clip to replace the SIM card in the phone. Do not throw away water bottles. Good for a hotel. The hotel is one of the closest to the airport, arrived quickly.
The check-in is fast, they took into account our request with a settlement on the second floor and, upon request, they gave a second key card to the room. A couple at e. and chocolate : ). Immediately bracelets and dinner. The staff took the suitcases to the door of our room.
NUMBER without any complaints. Even with a sea view. Slightly noisy air conditioner. But everything is in working order. The shower gel has a strange smell after a while. They used their resources.
SEA is beautiful.
A very windy resort, almost always waves, the red flag changed three times in a week to yellow and even once to green. Snorkeled near the hotel pier, not impressed. We went to the bay. A lovely walk along the coast past other Jazz hotels. Twenty minutes is not a fast walk, the breeze is refreshing, it's not hot to go. The bay has a pier and reefs. With any wind you can swim, there is something to see and get a lot of emotions. If the wave is not big, you can swim outside the bay, divers can wander just under you. Coming out of the water is cool, blowing.
The water park is quite big. True, there are no rivers with currents and waves. Just slides. But very impressive. Eight slides for descent in circles and about a dozen ordinary ones. Not all work at once. Some all day, and there are those that alternate before lunch and after. Not enough water supply. Walk to the water park 10-15 minutes. Again, no one runs in the heat, looking for paths in the shade along the fences.
NUTRITION as for the covid period is very good. Last year at Albatros Citadel they ate fast food. In Jaz Grand, the food is very tasty and varied. Desserts are delicious and beautifully presented. For fruits, the largest selection of all the hotels where we were: apples, pears, grapes, bananas, pomegranates - this is trite. But dates, guava, mangoes, figs are not served in every hotel. The restaurant is divided into sections, each served by a specific waiter. He orders drinks. We chose one place for ourselves, and on the third day of visiting the restaurant, while we were collecting our plate, drinks that we usually ordered were waiting on our table. A trifle, but nice. From such signs of attention there is a general impression of the hotel. The staff is not arrogant, no one looks into their pockets, but we always take chocolate, seeds, cigarettes as gifts.
ANIMATION is available for both children and adults. Who is more active and tenacious can dance and participate in competitions.
One minus - everything is sharpened for Europe. The resort was previously exclusively for Europeans, the Slavs rarely reached Marsa.
The a la carte RESTAURANT offers a choice of seafood or chicken. Sign up at the beach bar. They feed norms.
Natural coffee is also good in this bar. But it is necessary to control from which apparatus they will cook. I understand that they are just too lazy to bother with natural. It's easier to press a button and issue any of the machine.
Before leaving, we ordered a box of mangoes from the guide. When checking in for a flight, you need to see only one hand luggage up to 7 kg, they can make you pay extra.
In general, as 4 stars is very good. But the second time I have no desire.
The guys at the reception are very fast and good. They respond to the first request.
Ahmed, Ayman and Lisa from the reception - do everything we asked for (extra towels and iron in the room).
The cocktails at the lobby bar are great! Ahmed is a good guy at the bar.
We arrived in the morning but settled immediately until 10, as there were children sent immediately for breakfast.
They gave me a family room even though I had booked a regular room.
There are few people, so there are no queues anywhere.
Beach: it's big, but you need to go through corals, you need corals. Swimming is not particularly possible because there are hedgehogs all around, there are small lagoons, but they are too small.
The children were very afraid of hedgehogs, and they only came in for a while with a mask to look at the fish. There are a lot of fish, different, there is something to see.
Anyone who likes to splash in the sea with children will not like it here.
There is a pier, but with children it is scary and very deep.
But in the pool they flopped perfectly. They are here for any height.
Even in the heat they flopped under the bridge in the shade.
It’s a bit far to go to the water park, and the road is not very hot. The schedule is strange from 10 to 16, in the heat, so we burned down there (((but the water park itself is cool.
Food: different, tasty, always something new.
And the meat was good and the fish. And for the Vagans, a lot of steamed greens and soups.
In the evening, ice cream was in the dining room, and during the day from 10 to 17 at the bar by the pool.
Coffee is delicious only in a cafe near the beach, and then you need to beg for grain, in other places it's better.
We did not like alcoholic cocktails anywhere. ?? Non-alcoholic delicious but very sweet.
Red wine is delicious, beer is normal.
Water, drinks only in glasses and the waiter brings both in the dining room and at the bars. So everything needs to be asked.
No napkins or toothpicks.
The room is great, big, everything is great.
The mattresses are comfortable.
Cleaned well and brought water.
There is animation, great guys, they try very hard. There is also a kids club.
In general, I liked the hotel, only the lack of a full-fledged sea upset me. Because we went for it.
The hotel area is nice but little greenery and shade.
There is where to take a walk, behind the beach cafe from the neighboring hotel there is a 2 km path near the water, after dinner it's just fine.
Tip: take coral shorts, a long-sleeve shirt, a special jacket with UV protection for the water park.
Our holiday was a success.
