Continental Garden Reef 5 hotel reviews

The territory on which this hotel is built, judging by the reviews, is so great that many tourists do not even have time to get around for all the rest.

Special thanks to the majority of vacationers say to the staff, who with unfathomable speed carried out their requests and solved the problems that arose.

The rooms are cleaned carefully, bed linen is clean. The only obstacle in dealing with staff for some is ignorance of the English language. However, the administration decided this problem by hiring two Russian-speaking employees.

The abundance of places where you can eat delicious food on the territory of the hotel, also liked many. And although the system "all inclusive" could only be eaten in the main restaurant, the menu presented by the type of buffet, there were a lot of meat dishes, chicken and fish. In the evenings, on the terrace of the restaurant, something must be roasted on the grill. Many vacationers liked the opportunity to make and fill salads from the proposed ingredients.

The menu offers a wide range of baked goods. Judging by the reviews, there was a lack of fruit and vegetables, which is surprising for the Egyptian hotel. In addition, some were surprised that the "all-inclusive" food system for "espresso" had to pay separately three dollars.
