The room did not have a heated towel rail, air conditioning, no slippers and bathrobes, and walking barefoot on the marble floor in the bathroom was below average pleasure. Breakfasts are poor, scrambled eggs of dubious quality and chicken sausages, in which a piece of polythene was found, only pastries are good. There are no fresh fruits, not even traditional apples, not to mention freshly squeezed juices.
Settled exactly as we wanted: the main view of the pool + a piece of the sea.
The beach is excellent, if you wish, you can roll on the sand at the shore, warm your ass and sunbathe... if you snort, wellcome, two pontoons. There were no problems with "lying down" places, even though the hotel was almost 100% loaded, at 11 in the morning it was possible to calmly settle down even in the shade. Water sports for all tastes. Animation was present, but not a lot: volleyball, water aerobics, darts, but not very active, although, on the other hand, not intrusive, which is good news.
The gym is small, but quite decently equipped (two treadmills, two ellipticals, two bikes, well, all sorts of strength training equipment). I won’t say about the SPA, we didn’t get there, but judging by the hype, everything is okay.
Cafes, restaurants - at any time you can have a bite. In the evening (if pre-ordered in the afternoon) restaurants of Italian, international cuisine, a fish restaurant (I was pleasantly surprised that they cook there separately, obviously not a beautifully laid out buffet, as is usually the case in a la carte restaurants). The only food establishment that was frankly disappointing is an Asian restaurant. The fact that it is paid is not scary, but everything that was ordered - rolls, sushi, soups - it was impossible to eat, it does not even remotely resemble at least a yakitoria... although, in principle, this could be expected.
After dinner, you could retire to the Cave (an institution stylized as stalactite mines, surrounded by a waterfall) and smoke a hookah (only 15 pounds, despite the fact that in the city the pleasure is 12 pounds... about 3 dollars).
I was very pleased with the Safari bar (lobby) - there is both an open terrace and a closed part, good drinks, excellent service and live music (I really liked going to listen to a Filipino group, well, my aunt sang amazingly, and even danced).
At night - Caligula's disco. . . the music is wow, with the people it was tight at times (probably not the season).
The audience at the hotel is absolutely diverse - there are also Polish grannies about 80 years old, sunbathing topless, small children, always screaming (though not in very large numbers), married couples, and, of course, a large number of young people (very pleased), and mostly Russian and British origin.
In short, we rested for 10 points out of 5 possible! 15 days, but I didn’t feel like going home at all! Bring it back! If next time to Egypt, then only to Savoy. (compared with Ritz and Grand Rotana)
