Pharaoh Azur Beach Resort

"Pros - Friendly staff (almost all). Beautiful territory. - Spacious beach with sunbeds, umbrellas, and wind screens. Entry into the sea is only via the ramp. Sea depth from acceptable to good depending on tides. Rescuers don't let you go very far. There are few bright fish and corals compared to Sharm el-Sheikh. Accommodation. Cleanliness in the rooms (thanks a lot to the housekeeping), good bed. There is a kettle, tea, and instant coffee. Enough water. There is a balcony. It is nicer to stay in a bungalow closer to the center of the area (it's quieter and closer to the sea). The bungalows are very pleasant inside, especially the wooden furniture. If you like to be closer to the restaurant and entertainment, then it is better to stay in the dormitories. - On the territory of 4 restaurants (1 buffet (plus it is also on the beach for lunch) and 3 à la carte, if booked in advance). The main plus is the beach lunches. The food is mostly tasty. I especially liked the Farfasha oriental restaurant (only really missing tea with the sweets). - The most pleasant non-alcoholic drink is hibiscus, and from alcoholic drinks, a good light beer. Animation. For us, the unobtrusive animation and the moderate volume of the performances were a definite plus. Actually, the more annoying noise was from the neighboring Titanic hotel. Disadvantages - The room's amenities are very sparse for four stars. Even in the upgraded rooms, there are no slippers, bathrobe, decent soap, cotton swabs, or discs, the gel/shampoo is the cheapest in a dispenser (smells unpleasant). Unjustified savings on the part of the beach hotel. It took us 2 days to move from a standard room to a bungalow (we were willing to pay extra), because the reception staff kept offering us options that did not meet our wishes until the last minute. But in the end, after negotiations with the management, we got the number and were very pleased with it. - Very disappointed with the offered tours. Firstly, it is several times more expensive than in the city, and everything is given as a good offer. Secondly, they promise one thing and deliver another (for example, they promised 3 diving/swimming locations by boat, but there was only one). But payment is in advance, so claims are meaningless. Other trips they arranged in the city on their own, and that was the best decision. - In the main restaurant, the meat and fish are often overcooked (resulting in a dry bottom), there are few local fresh fruits - mango was available only once in 2 weeks and quickly ran out. The rest of the time - apples and bananas, sometimes melon. There are no tasty seafood either, because everything is fried until it's like a cracker. Many overly fatty dishes (sometimes generously drizzled with oil on top after frying). Asian restaurant by menu is a parody of Asian cuisine. Better nothing than this, but we didn't have high hopes for it either. - Drinks as simple as possible. Tea bags, packaged juices, the cheapest strong alcohol in plastic, and wine from bags (so they brought their own). Fresh juices only for an extra charge. - Guest Relations staff haven't found time in almost 2 weeks to ask if everything is okay with us. It is unclear what their function is. In short, it's a good option for a quiet vacation if you are okay with swimming from a ramp and not the most exquisite cuisine."
