Were in Egypt for the 7th time. Before that, 3 times in Sharm and 3 times in Hurghada. We rested in June. We arrived late around 23:00. We were fed and given a specially bad number. The concierge offered to exchange for the best one in 20 minutes for 20 bucks. We agreed . exchanged only the next day after 16 hours. I have never seen such a bad 4 in Egypt. The furniture is old, the air conditioning is terrible, the service in the room is disgusting, although every day I left 10 pounds for a tip. Animation is neither day nor evening. The hotel is intended for the rest of grandmothers from Holland and Germany. El Gouna itself is designed for Europeans. Prices for almost everything are twice as high compared to Hurghada. It is said that this place is called the Egyptian Venice. El Gouna is very far from Venice.
Neither is it the first line, to the sea 15 minutes on foot or by boat, which runs every hour, 3 minutes. In general, the sea in El Gouna is much worse than in Sharm or Hurghada. To swim and see corals, you have to walk along the bridge for another 5 minutes. There are no lifeguards on the pier anywhere. Just awful. The hotel steals insolently. We were told by the departing tourists from Yekaterinburg that be vigilant, they steal directly from the safe, which can be opened with a simple knife, but at first they did not believe. But they soon found out for themselves. I always take 2 blocks of cigarettes with me, I always have enough for 10 days and still have some left. 4 days before I left, I discovered that there were no more cigarettes, I had to buy local ones. And two days before the end of the holiday, my wife and I discovered the loss of 200 dollars. After talking with Russian vacationers, we learned that two tourists have similar problems. Complaints about the reception with the help of a hotel guide about theft did not give any results. The general manager said that they allegedly conducted an investigation, and they have no thieves. The attitude towards Russians in the hotel is terrible. Somehow, at dinner, a drunken German woman offended a Russian child, she did not like his toy. She went and complained and about five attendants came running and forced the parents of this child to apologize - one very cultured and decent family from St. Petersburg, in front of this (as it turned out later) drug addict. My wife and I stood up, but the Egyptians explained to us that this alcoholic dad has a very rich and they don't want problems. Just awful.
Separately, about the owner of the hotel, Mr. Hassan. He is engaged in the construction of apartments for foreigners in Hurghada. Broker Larisa works in the hotel under the guise of a vacationer, who persuades tourists to go see apartments, praising what a wonderful and cheap life in Hurghada is. Yes, apartments are inexpensive by Russian standards, but the quality of construction is disgusting. The walls are half-brick, there is a gas cylinder in the kitchen, gas will be unknown when, sewerage along the facade of the building, etc. We met a family from Chelyabinsk, who arrived a year after buying an apartment. They spat on Mr. Hassan, for a year now he has not been able to make repairs to them in an apartment he bought earlier a year ago. They advised no one to contact this person.

No more naked in this hotel.
