This year, it was not possible to get into the beloved Mars. Looking for closer options. We needed a good reef with livestock, an adequate price and excellent conditions in the hotel - all this is in the Albatros Palace Resort Sharm El Sheikh 5 *.
Thanks to the operator Join Up. The only operator with flights to Marsa Alam Airport from Kyiv. If you go to this hotel through Hurghada, you lose almost 2 days of rest. It took 2.
I was looking for something equivalent to Marsa Alam, but that would not take so much time on the road. Stella Beach fully meets these criteria. Pleased Join up. Picked up good carriers (Wind Rose and UIA).
Briefly first pros 1. Transfer only 3 hours from the airport (for Mars this is very good) 2. Cheaper by $250 for similar conditions in other hotels 3. There is a water park (even people of age will like it) 4.
SELECTION CRITERIA - proximity to the border with Israel to visit the Holy places. Good underwater world. Small hotel. She refused the Hilton, as it is too dress-coded and the faceless box resembles city buildings, from which I wanted to take a break.
It was not possible to break out on vacation before November. There was a strong belief that in Egypt in November the water is cool (for me 24 degrees is cool, because I like to swim for hours).
Hotel of the highest European level. I did not even expect from Egypt. The main indicator of the hotel is the STAFF. In this hotel, the staff tries for you in everything.
1. Do not worry when arriving and departing at the airport when you are subjected to a thorough check. Such is their system. I was kept for 1.5 hours upon arrival. But on the other hand, they did not inspect at all during the departure.
Many thanks to Pegasus - this is the only tour operator that has not stopped flights to Egypt, despite the political games of governments and the threat of losses. The information will be especially useful for those who cannot swim.
Review and some details of the holiday THE ROAD THERE AND BACK. It is obligatory to have round-trip air tickets. In India, they will not let you into the airport without a return ticket.
FLIGHT There is no food or drink on the planes : -) If the departure from your city is delayed slightly (no more than an hour), then do not worry - when transferring to Dubai, the next plane will be delayed so that passengers have time.
Now in this hotel. Those who like to be nature in the hotel will not like it. The hotel has almost no territory. It is suitable for overnight stay only. The ocean is amazing, but swimming near the hotel is inconvenient.
I only write facts. I don't agree with the rave reviews or the bad ones. I was looking for - a sea with sand from the beach (I can't swim), a beautiful green area, relaxation, diving - my manager advised this hotel.
Cozy quiet hotel. The room has everything - a safe, a TV set, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a kettle, 6 bottles of water a day for free, free coffee, tea. Mini bar is paid.
