Ужасный отель Terrible hotel

Just arrived from this hotel. I read a lot of reviews about the hotel, mostly positive. And now, after visiting it, I am surprised at those who wrote these reviews. It is not clear to me what hotels they have vacationed in before, if they rated Le Meridien as an excellent 5 * hotel? A 3* hotel, no more. I was in Egypt 12 times, and for the first time in such a hole. All the hotels that I visited before in Sharm, Hurghada, Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay, are many times higher in terms of all criteria than this one. Absolutely everything in the hotel, starting with the reception and the lobby, is old, filthy, untidy, worn out. A restaurant cannot be called this word at all, it's just a canteen-diner, and on top of that, it's dirty and shabby. The chairs are all squashed and broken, the tables are sticky and greasy, I am generally silent behind the windows, walls and window sills, everything is filthy with sparrow droppings. Well, at least the dishes are from the dishwasher, so they are clean. The food is disgusting and very poor.
Every day old beef in sauce, chicken and fish fillet (like catfish) stewed in some sort of slimy sauce, pasta, rice and veggie boiled vegetables. Twice in 11 days they fried hard black beef cutlets and 2 times squid rings. For the first 2 types of soup - vermicelli and cream soup. In the morning - scrambled eggs, sausages, muesli, breakfast cereals with cold milk and sour yogurt. Pastries are ordinary, but very few of them, Egyptian oriental sweets were only once of three types. From vegetables, only tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and pickled olives, salads were made from everything left from breakfast and lunch and with dubious sauce. That's why we didn't eat them. From fruits - melon, circles of orange and grapefruit, dates. That's the whole range for 11 days of rest. They have never done anything on the grill, it is not even close there. Drinks should be discussed separately.
One plus in this matter is that in the morning they gave freshly squeezed juices that stood on the table in tubes and you could drink plenty, orange, apple and a couple of times guava. The rest of the drinks and plain water had to be ordered from the waiters, and this is a complete atas. At first they don’t understand you, and then you have to wait a long time for the order, and they can bring not what you ordered. I got the impression that they don't want to understand, because you have to be a big dumbass not to understand a rum-cola, or a mojito cocktail. And yet, it is very important that the mini-bar is paid, this is understandable, but a bottle of water on the table in the room and in the bathroom for brushing your teeth is also paid, that is, you need to take water for drinking in a restaurant or on the beach in a bar, there is nowhere else . When we checked out, we paid $6 for 3 bottles of water and $1 for early check-in (we were checked in upon arrival at 10 o'clock), although no one warned us about this. Of course, these are trifles, but you must admit, they are very unpleasant.

For all drinks everywhere you need to sign zero checks. The funny thing is that the hotel does not have a single cafe and restaurant where you could have a bite to eat during the day, that is, if you are late for breakfast or lunch, forget about food, you will not even find a crust of bread. With us, the guests asked at the bar on the beach if it was possible to order something to eat, they were told that only by order from the restaurant for a fee. That's all inclusive for you! There are no a la carte restaurants either. The beach is terrible, the sunbeds are torn and broken, umbrellas too, and there are few of them. Wicker eggs were occupied only by families with children, and we had to be content with broken equipment. But the sea is beautiful, the entrance is from the pier, but it is small. There are no reefs, there are single fish, the water is clean, warm, you can swim. The hotel has 2 swimming pools with sea water - children's and deeper, this is of course a plus. But we did not manage to swim in them, because the hotel is 90% inhabited by Arabs. They are dark there.
Each room has an Arab man, 2-3 women and 2-4 children. And these women in dark clothes and children sat in these pools up to their necks all day long, because the heat was up to 40 degrees and they were so cool. For obvious reasons, none of our guests entered the pool. Fortunately, they do not know how to swim, even though they swam in the sea without them. Can you imagine what happened in the dining room in the evenings and in the morning! Arabs and their children are everywhere, grabbing everything with their hands, screaming, squealing, just horror. I don’t know, maybe someone has vacationed with the locals before, but it’s my first time, and it’s HORRIBLE! The rooms are normal, the furniture is old, the plumbing is good, everything worked, the air conditioning is a bit noisy, but it's bearable. Beds are comfortable, sheets and towels are clean and new. Cleaned mediocre, in 11 days they changed the bed 1 time, towels were changed every day, because we threw them on the floor. There was no animation, that is, no, and in general, even background music on the territory and on the beach is not.
In no case should guests with children go to this hotel, there is nothing for children - no club, no food, no beach, no animation, only an abandoned, unkempt playground.
I wrote this review so that those who are going to go to this hotel have an idea about it and do not fall into the trap of unscrupulous travel agents like us and your vacation brought them joy and pleasure. And keep in mind that this hotel in Dahab is considered the best, you can imagine what all the others are.
