Very good hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned every day, the food is very good, not greasy and not sweet, just normal... and we had a great rest. The sea is the cleanest.
It so happened that we always fly to Egypt for a vacation in winter) we like the climate - it's warm, but not hot, the Red Sea is 24-25. But, of course, there is a wind... We spent the beginning of December in the suburbs of Dahab at the Tropitel Oasis Hotel. Wonderful impressions! Firstly, it's cozy, a small but very green area with beautiful evening lighting, large rooms (we lived in 152 on the 1st floor!) with a balcony, which has everything you need (kettle and cups, hairdryer, TV, mini fridge, conditioner, shampoo, gel, soap). The beach itself is sandy, but you can only enter the sea through a pontoon... And there is a beautiful "home" reef with a variety of corals, fish, and shellfish - the depth is small and the visibility is excellent! You can take a dip in the swimming pool, which is heated in winter. About food - the kitchen works great - it's varied and delicious! Every day there is a change of main dishes, there are quite a lot of them for the Egyptian version, all the pastries look fresh and beautiful, the vegetables are juicy, and the grilled vegetables are generally super. Special thanks for your favorite fresh dates!! We had breakfast and dinner included - so with such a meal, "lunch" would have been superfluous for us))) The hotel is very hospitable, there is a Russian-speaking manager at the reception, and there is a Fuddy in the store. By the way, he will help you with excursions. Reliable and, of course, cheaper than tour operator guides. We went to Napoleon Reef on a huge boat (Nirvana) and there were only 8 of us!) Dahab is 6 km away, and a minivan runs according to the schedule. You can probably walk, but the road is so-so - dusty, there are a lot of cars going to the "blue hole" with divers. In general, there is only the beach and mountains around the hotel, this "hole" is about 3 km away, and so - to take a walk, go to a shop or cafe - only in Dahab. And yet - we loved the hotel for its silence and regularity, there is no "booing" and shouting, for a really calm atmosphere! We'll definitely come back here. Thanks!
We have been staying at the hotel for one week since January 14th. I gave it four stars, but they were firm and confident) I'll explain why now. In general, I really liked the rest and gave me great relaxation, helped to turn off my brain from all problems at least for a while) What we didn't really like was the room itself because of their concrete beds and very very hard mattresses, it wasn't easy to relax on them. In general, the room itself was not bad, there was everything you needed, water and cleaning were offered every day, they cleaned quite well, created a mood with flowers and swans from towels) They always left coffee and teas, which is very good. The room had access to a charming garden, mega well-groomed and green, with stunning trees and flowers, it was a thrill. But here's another disadvantage - there are a lot of dogs on the territory of the hotel, and they were there almost every night, howling and barking, not letting me sleep. I had to drive them on my own or feed them to calm them down, for some reason the hotel does not follow this. The territory is excellent, gorgeous palm trees, green lawns, a milky pool, swings, lots of sun beds, a very beautiful coral reef, but again, the disadvantage is the constant wind, which does not stop in principle. This is Egypt's problem in winter, but above all, keep in mind that the hotel is not located on the shore of the open sea, but on the Gulf of Aqaba, Saudi Arabia is visible on the other shore, and since the strait is narrow and with mountains, it is windy there almost all year round, a kind of draft) And unfortunately, it was not possible to swim and see the fish in a human way, the sea was restless for all six days. Very warm, though. These are the moments. We've already written a lot about nutrition, it's excellent. The staff was extremely attentive, but no one spoke Russian in front of us. English only. Dahab is nearby, you can walk there, and there are windless bays. In general, I recommend the hotel, considering all the points, it is an excellent choice for its price, the bosses and staff "take care not only of their own interests, but also of the interests of others" (The Bible). If it weren't for such a wind, I would have returned there. I think it's only in winter.
