Judging by the reviews left by tourists who have already visited the Renaissance Golden View Beach Resort 5 * hotel, everyone was satisfied with the rooms. They are such as stated in the photo and in the advertisement: spacious, furnished, not old furniture, all communications and plumbing are in perfect order.
The staff is generally friendly and answers all questions. Cleaning is done daily, however, not always with high quality and sometimes not at all quickly. Some vacationers note the rudeness of the staff and his desire to constantly evade work.
Nutrition
In this matter, the opinions of vacationers from different countries, including Russia, were divided. Tourists note the average quality of alcoholic beverages and the limited "all inclusive" time. In general, restaurants, bars, as well as drinks and food in them, visitors rate the solid four. This, in principle, does not correspond to the declared level of the hotel. To some, the food seemed rather monotonous, but nevertheless tasty and of high quality.
Sea and beach
Clear water and a wonderful reef with colorful fish were remembered by many guests and it is not surprising that this is what Egypt is famous for. 5 * Renaissance Golden View Beach Resort, however, according to them, was cunning when he announced the open beach. Sunset at sea is possible only from the pontoon. From the shore it is very shallow, the water level reaches the knees, and then the coral reef begins, and all the rescuers stop. But the sea most often pleases with calm and the absence of strong drafts and wind is noted.
Opinion was also divided on the organization of the work of animators. Some noted the absolute primitiveness and boredom in games and entertainment, while others, on the contrary, thank the company of lovely girls for their quality work and memorable leisure time at sea. Many appreciated the lesson in aerobics (regular and water) and yoga.
