Domina Hotel & Resort Harem

I am so excited to write this review! It may be a bit lengthy but its worth it I promise and also the only review you will need to read. Firstly I went with my best pal who is 25 and I'm 21, we were just looking for a beautiful place to relax, drink and sunbath, I stumbled across trip advisor and it put me off going so much... we were both super nervous.
So anyway we had a good flight and our transfer was fine, once we arrived at the top of the Domina Bay road, I was completely hypnotized by how beautiful the resort was, so clean and fresh looking.
We arrived at the Harem reception and were greeted by AHMED who I will tell you about later on, he checked us in and gave us towels and our room card. Then we were taken to our room by Mahmood the bell boy, we hopped on a golf caddy with our cases and drove up the hill a few paces away from the reception :)
Our room was beautiful, twin four poster beds, bed side cabinets, lights on the wall with switches to the main room light, an arm chair and table and a sofa bed, also a big mirror over a desk which had a big draw (perfect for make up and other stuff) also it has a hidden mini bar that comes stacked with 3 mineral waterS, 1 sprite fanta and coke (this is restocked every day). The terrace was beautiful with a a wooden bench table and 2 chairs, the view was honestly breath taking, we sat here for a few hours everyday!
The bathroom was clean and big, with fresh towels and gowns everyday and a massive jacuzzi bath (do not put bubble bath in this, as I did and the whole bathroom was filled with bubbles LOL). Massive walk in wardrobes with hangers and an easy to use safe. The rooms are cleaned everyday no matter how messy they are. Tip the cleaners well as they earn about 35 british pounds a month and do a darn good job!
A lot of people complain that it is complicated to understand the AI terms (TUT) a five year old could understand it.
Breakfast is served between 7:00am till 10:30, in the Spices restaurant with fresh bread and danish pastries, also cooking stations to tailor make your omelettes and eggs how you like them... fresh fruit cereal and a toaster, they have cheeses salad and cold meats also sausages, beans and waffles with loads of sauces, all served with fresh juice and tea and coffee!
Morning break is from 11.00am till 12.30 pm in the lobby bar which is in the reception this serves (juice, tea, coffee, local spirits and wines all day anyway) with a selection of pastries.
Lunch is from 1.00pm to 3.00pm served in either Spices-international buffet FANTASTIC ALWAYS, Coral - international cuisine or El Wadi-a rich buffet set on a privileged beach view GORGEOUS!
afternoon break is served from 5.00pm till 7.00pm where snacks and beverages are served daily from sandwiches to mini burgers.
Dinner is from 7.00pm to 10.30pm and you have a big choice from - Spices, El Mastaba kebab house FANTASTIC, Tajine Corner Alhambra - Moroccan, Coral, El Wadi and Gala dinner in Arena, upon invitation which is provided in your vip pack given when you check in.
You can use the pool bar, lobby bar, and the nautilus beach bar during the day.
There is an entertainment board outside the reception so there is always something to do, you can book trips to Cairo, quads, scuba diving, snorkeling and camel riding all through the hotel or the rep. But if you venture to Naama Bay you will get it so much cheaper.
Naama Bay is good it has lots of shops and lookie lookie men and british bars, restaurants and also nightclubs. There is a nightclub within the resort called Space, easy to find!
AHMED the receptionist will deal with anything you want him to and he will bend over backwards to help, also in other reviews people said that he never smiles what a lot of rubbish, out of two weeks I only seen him look unhappy once and that's because he done a 36 HOUR SHIFT NO LIE.
MUSTAFA on the bar across from the reception is such a good guy and gets completely harassed by RUDE Russians.
The Russians are rude and greedy never let them get to you just keep smiling at them this bothers them more,
Venture down to the suk at the oasis the boys at the shop will try get you to come in to their shops, go in if you want a look and you will be offered tea which is lovely, if not simply say no smile and walk away... make your way down to the tattoo stand look out for PICASSO and HASHAM the funniest men I have ever met, say hello from angela and chazza : ) They are both fantastic at henna and hair braiding, watch out for FOUZY he is a charmer and a bit of a con man he makes sand jars which are lovely but they brake, HE LIKES TO CALL HIMSELF MR LUVA LUVA : )
Overall our holiday was fantastic we got back on the 28th Nov 07 and have already booked to go back the 15th may 08 :) :) :) :)
We met people of all ages, family's, singles, couple, young party goers and everyone loved it!
Oh also there is always a security guard on hand. Not that you should need one.
Hope this helps and I honestly believe your holiday will be as fantastic as ours was : )
