Hotel for 1 week, golf vacation *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AThe hotel unit and the rooms are very nice. We had a direct view of the golf course.
The golf course is very good for the low-moisture circumstances and through the winds and the impenetrable flowerbeds harder than one thinks.
The furniture of the room is o.k.; unfortunately, there were not enough tables available for the evening meals, one had to wait. 90% of the hotel is in the hands of the German/Swiss and Austrian, which based on the Russian tour guide, is a good thing. Overall, we would give the hotel 4 stars. We have taken many trips in the world and therefore can make such a judgment.
For a golfing vacation, it is fine.
Location
The hotel is located directly on the golf course; trips to el Gouna are quite possible; the neighboring hotels, that one can visit, are also interesting.
Aside from gastronomy, the service is very good; the personnel are very helpful. Linda, a German worker at the reception was very helpful and competent.
Gastronomy
The service is partially good, but it has to be bought. Things go very smoothly, but only with tips.
Perhaps that lies on the Arabic mentality. We have visited Arabic countries 2 times and that was extremely noticeable. That is why I will not vacation there again.
WE booked AL, so that we could also eat something small during the noon/afternoon.
The service is not too good at the pool bar and terrace. It takes a long time before you receive the food or drinks. It is SOMEWHAT faster during the evening time.
The food was good and diversified (just like in a 4 star hotel).
We missed things such as grilled fish or meat.
Sport & Entertainment
It was not so important for us as we played golf 3x a week.
Unfortunately, one can only go to the beach with a shuttle, even though there is sand at the lagoon I would not label it as a beach. The water was only around 20 degrees warm.
The pool is well heated.
During the evening there was not too much entertainment, the live music singers sing a couple of songs, but rather take recess. Therefore, one in search of entertainment should look for another hotel or go to El Gouna.
Room
We were very satisfied with our suitable 4 star hotel room.
Tips and recommendations
It is approximately 25 degrees warm, but the wind is very cold. You will need a jacket for the evening. The hotels in Soma Bay should be much better. But the golf course is not as nice and the hotels are more expensive. Starting the 2nd day we took preventatives for diarrhea, Tannacomp, which is harmless. It has always helped us on our trips, we've never had diarrhea.
