Повесть о Машрабии The Tale of Mashrabiya

I will try to write an objective review of this hotel. Let's start with the fact that for those people who have vacationed in good hotels (Hiltons, Intercontinental, Golden Fife, etc. ), of course, everything they see will seem terrible. But we initially went there for the sea, the sun, positive and summer. . . Therefore, many things were perceived as normal. The hotel is located near the airport, but there was no noise of aircraft or anything like that, that is, the airport did not interfere at all. We were also settled quite quickly (within half an hour), maybe because we arrived at the hotel from 2 to 3 o'clock. When checking in, three more girls immediately gave $ 20 per room at the reception, we decided not to pay at first and see what they would give us. I want to warn you right away that the rooms in Mashrabiya are all the same (slightly dull and old), you should only choose the location of the room (to watch through the window, if not the sea, then at least the green territory of the hotel, which is undoubtedly a big plus of this hotel). After we saw the room and the view from the window, we decided to pay and change it. At the same time, I recommend giving money not immediately, but only after you like the room and everything in the room will work properly (check the air conditioner, water and water heater right away) and only after that pay them off. Now let's move on to the specific disadvantages of the room: the shower is simply unrealistically uncomfortable, the curtain in it is short and when you turn on the water, the entire floor of the bathroom is flooded. The room is also not cleaned very well, despite the fact that the dollar was left regularly, there was no particular cleanliness. Yes, he will make swans out of towels for you, but at the same time, all the dirt on the floor will simply be smeared, not removed! Everything else, in principle, made us obsolete, we did not see any living creatures, like cockroaches, for 10 days in the room. The territory of the hotel is very compact and it is very convenient that in 5 minutes you can get from the room to the sea, and to the reception, and to the dining room. Yes, it is in the dining room, because the restaurant is loudly said. Naturally, we were not hungry, pastries are cool and buns and cakes. Vegetables such as cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, etc. , were also plentiful. The menu is monotonous: as side dishes, potatoes, rice and pasta, meat for lunch, only one kind, for dinner, fish and meat were periodically, and sometimes only meat. From fruits there were grapes, oranges, sometimes melon and 2 times guava. The dishes are clean, but here are the tables.... It was they who caused our conflict with the staff, because there was such an impression that they had not been wiped since that very 88 year, and only after our scandal did these pieces of furniture find out what water and a napkin are! We had stomach problems, and quite often, but we suspect that the whole thing is in the local water, drops of which remained on the fruit. So take pills just in case. As for the staff, this is the biggest minus of this hotel. If in a decent hotel you will never remember the cleaner or waiter, but at the same time you will be infinitely satisfied with the service, then in Mashrabiya it’s the other way around: they draw too much attention to themselves, while the quality of service is nowhere lower, and then they look at you expectantly. eyes in hope for baksheesh. But all this did not overshadow us, because we had a great company (by the way, hello to OKSANA!!!! ) and we enjoyed our vacation, trying to spend less time in the room. The sea in Mashrabiya is superb: the sandy entrance is deep and there is enough space for everyone, even taking into account the fact that vacationers come to the beach from the second line. There was no smell of diesel fuel or anything else, despite the fact that the boats went to sea in the morning and returned by 16.30. By the way, advice on the beach, give a man with towels a dollar every 2 days and a sunbed for you will be provided, and where you ask! The animation in Mashrabiya is good and if you wish, you can dance, do aerobics, and play volleyball. In the evening, too, about a day later there were cool programs, but there are no discos in hotels (I am writing this for party-goers). The general conclusion will be: "What grandmas - such slippers. " If you don’t bother, then you can relax, because the main indicators (location, sea, territory) in Mashrabiya are excellent, and everything else is, so to speak, the little things of life. You can eat in cafes and restaurants, where everything is tasty and inexpensive, and you can only sleep in the room. Speaking of excursions: next to the hotel there is a Jamie moto safari, a puny boy Adam works there, for whom all excursions are much cheaper than, for example, teztour, so "Paradise Island" cost us $ 15 for one. In general, the hotel is really a C grade without a plus, having rested in which one day we are unlikely to gather there again. However, I want to emphasize that if there is only enough money for a threesome, then it is better to go and relax in a threesome than to sit at home and think about the shortcomings of the chosen hotel. After all, the main thing is your mood and attitude to life in general. If desired, any vacation and in any hotel can become very cool, fun and memorable, as it was with us!!!!!!!! !
