The same law clarifies that the information provided is confidential. The activities of organizations that register users without obtaining such consent is illegal.
Familiarize yourself with the law on the official website of the President of the Russian Federation Do you want a true comment on this hotel from experienced tourists? Then here he is.We go to Egypt up to four times a year. We have been in different hotels, there is something to compare with. So.
Pros:
The territory is large and quite green.
There are slides
Three pools
There are also huge rooms of 105 squares, three-room, and smaller, one-room, but quite normal
Animation at the hotel is present
Half an hour of free billiards and exercise equipment per room
The trainer is good
Near the highway to Naama and Old city
Oll is not bad
Drinks from 10 to 24 no problem
New pier on the beach.Sustainable. Wood.
Bay windless (almost) there are no waves
There is a toilet on the beach
Minuses:
Check-in to rooms only after 14.00 (though this is true in many hotels)
Check-out is strictly at 12.00 (otherwise they will rip off the grandmother almost hourly)
Breakfast on the first day will not be served and lunch and dinner on the last (current for money)
The rooms are shabby, with rather broken plumbing
Huge queues in the canteen (at the same time, crush and abuse from any nationality, by the way, there are a lot of Swedes)
There are no tablecloths on the tables, as well as cloth napkins
Toothpicks? Probably somewhere there, but, as in a joke, sorry, busy
The constant shortage of glasses, cups, spoons, salt shakers (pepper shakers in a shaft, like the old pepper shakers of any nation)
Few fruits
There are not enough places in the canteen, even with an additional floor
Any drinks - only one glass per person (ONLY ONE)
In bars, drinks are almost under the supervision of a bartender (only drink in a bar, you can’t even go to the pool)
Rude staff. To all nations. (there was even a fight between the bartender and some girl with pools of blood and the police, the bartender threw a glass glass at the girl)
The rooms are cleaned exactly at the moment when you are sleeping or doing something (and always at different times) And there are no signs like DO NOT DISTURB
Problem with delivery to and from the beach. The bus runs according to a schedule like every hour, but this schedule is rather conditional (inshaallah)
There are not enough seats on the buses (there are two of them). Accordingly, crush --- swearing --- fights (I'm not kidding)
The bus may not arrive for the beachgoers who did not get into the buses (then, in an hour or two, they will arrive, they themselves were waiting like that)
The beach is now a continuous construction site with mountains of garbage and sunbeds between these mountains
There are really not enough sunbeds, so sprint from the bus with all the same crushes --- swearing --- fights (I’ll keep silent about umbrellas)
Bay without fish and without coral (to the corals on the right on foot 15 minutes to break through the cordons of Coral Sea and Baron)
There are no entertainments on the beach, including aerobics-gymnastics-volleyballs-footballs-buchi-games-dances). There is nothing at all.
Animation stupidly no (may change). A constantly stoned (no matter what) Russian boy walks around and, sometimes, some kind of Arab crawls out. The biggest entertainment in the evenings is like Miss Hotel (very lousy, there is something to compare with) or cinema (cinema, maybe Arabic)
Slides are paid (4 bucks for a couple of hours on schedule).
That, perhaps, is all.
I will say right away that we did not take part in any swearing, crushes, fights (from the outside it looks more interesting). If the cons do not bother you, go boldly. True, according to any foreign sites, this hotel passes like a troika. So it should cost like a triple. We paid $502 for two for a week. This, essno, with a flight and on ALL.
Have a nice holiday!

We rested in late September - early October 2014 with my husband and two children (4 years and six months). The hotel was chosen carefully. After a few days of reading reviews and sifting through all the options, I realized that it was impossible to choose an ideal hotel within our budget, I determined the basic requirements for myself: good food, a beautiful sea with the opportunity to both admire corals (for adults) and splash around at the shore (for children), large hotel area for walking.… More ▾ We rested in late September - early October 2014 with my husband and two children (4 years and six months). The hotel was chosen carefully. After a few days of reading reviews and sifting through all the options, I realized that it was impossible to choose an ideal hotel within our budget, I determined the basic requirements for myself: good food, a beautiful sea with the opportunity to both admire corals (for adults) and splash around at the shore (for children), large hotel area for walking. We chose this hotel and did not regret it! Fully meets these requirements!
I want to make a point right now. This is a second line hotel a budget option. If YOU want the sea in two steps and the highest level of service, choose the more expensive option!!!
In order.
1. ACCOMMODATION AND HOTEL
Almost all hotels check-out at 12-00, check-in at 14-00. This is a normal practice even in Europe, do not be surprised! If you want to check in earlier - be prepared and pay extra for it. Spend 1000 and more dollars - and sit half a day at the reception for the sake of saving 10 dollars - you see, stupidity!
We arrived at the hotel at about midnight, settled us almost immediately. BUT! As we found out later, the hotel has this practice: they immediately put everyone in very bad, the most distant rooms and wait for tourists to come with a request to move them to another room. For this they ask 10 dollars. Be prepared for this.
We booked a Standard room. Even at check-in, we asked for a Family room with a surcharge, we promised to solve it the next day. The first number plunged us into despondency. Very sad. But the next day we moved to another room - 2 rooms, a balcony overlooking the pool, an entrance hall with a refrigerator, a decent bathroom, a wide bed in the bedroom, put extra bed for a child. The furniture is old, but everything is in good condition. Repair is far from wow, but everything is neat. We were satisfied. For such a replacement, they paid an additional $ 20.
I really liked the area of the hotel. Big and clean. I got up with the kids at 6 in the morning and watched how every morning they cleaned the territory. Quite green, but I would like more flowers. There are three pools, but everyone swims in two large ones. One of them has slides (the slides are open from 10 to 16), I rode with pleasure (I don’t advise you to ride indoors, no buzz - and I tore my elbows). There are no problems with sunbeds by the pool.
There is a small average playground.
The staff... You can't call him well-trained. They try to communicate with tourists, but it does not work out very well. But everyone says hello. We even had a nice chat with a few. Almost everyone understands Russian well. But we spoke in English.
2. INTERNET
Wi-fi is available, but very expensive. We bought our SIM card from the guide with very fast internet for 15 bucks, which was enough for us for 10 days on Viber and VKontakte. They say you can buy cheaper in the city.
3. SEA
Here is the most enjoyable! The beach is great! Pretty clean. There is a pontoon (not long!), a lot of corals and beautiful fish. And you can swim near the shore (although you are not allowed to go to the depth from the shore). Children swam near the shore (about 70 cm at high tide and 2 times less at low tide, but for our entire holiday the low tide was only 2 in the morning). You can walk to the nearby beach - it is sandy. We didn't go.
Lots of sunbeds, there are always free ones. There are free drinks on the beach - water, cola, fanta, sprite. But at the end of the beach, we were too lazy to walk every time.
Road to the beach. The first 3 days we thought that there were no problems at all with the road to the beach. The bus runs every hour (except, it seems, 12-00 and 14-00). But then sooo many tourists came to the hotel, and the bus was packed to capacity. Be aware that if there are a lot of tourists, the bus will return a second, and even a third time! We always asked if he would come back and waited 7 minutes. Peak hours - 9-00 and 13-00. If you go at 10, the bus will be half empty. Drive to the beach 5 min. Walk 20 min, but the road is unpleasant.
4. FOOD
Power on a solid 4. We are satisfied. Neither adults nor children had any stomach problems. The choice is quite large, but we didn't eat everything. What we chose was delicious and varied! Some people even got better during the holidays;) It's a problem with fruits. Melons, oranges and dates. But only dates are delicious. From vegetables, too, not everyone ate, but there is always plenty to choose from! Delicious pasta, potatoes. The meat is always in several versions, delicious chicken.
Drinks are worse. Tea and coffee (I tried coffee once, I didn’t want to again). Water. Upi in the morning, fanta, cola, sprite in the afternoon and evening (order from the bartender, which is not very convenient). We got out of the situation like this: we took a fresh lime and squeezed it into the water, tasty and healthy :)
The dining room (you can't exactly call it a restaurant) is too small for this hotel. At the time of the greatest influx of tourists (on weekends), you had to look for a free table and stand in line for drinks.
And yet. Drinks - in plastic disposable cups. And I'm almost sure that the cups are not disposable after all. It's very annoying, to be honest.
Separately about water. You want to drink very much, you don’t run into a bar. There is a drinks kiosk across the street from the hotel. 1.5 liters of water costs $1. We bought it, drank it in the room and took it to the beach with us.
I can’t say anything about alcohol, I didn’t drink. Husband once tasted beer and said "fi". I saw that there is wine, at the bar you can order cola with brandy and a cocktail (looking like "Sex on the Beach").
5. HOLIDAYERS
For the first three days we were glad that there were very few Russian-speaking tourists. But then they began to arrive in large numbers, and as a result, half of the tourists in the hotel turned out to be Russian speakers. A lot of locals came over the weekend. They did not bother me at all (it is not clear why many are outraged by this fact).
A large number of tourists is felt only at lunch and dinner. And on the bus during rush hour.
We were very pleased with our vacation! With the right approach, you can close your eyes to all the shortcomings! I repeat, those who like to grumble and complain should not even choose this hotel, but in general 4 stars and / or a budget hotel! Take 5 stars and more expensive. And if you are a happy owner of an easy character and a positive attitude - you will enjoy your stay in this hotel!
Have a nice vacation!
