Just got back from Aqua Vista.
HERE I AM NOT A FOOT!! ! We used to rest in Ali Baba, Jasmine, Jungle, Albatros Modern in Sharm, in Albatros Beach. We chose a hotel from many, but for several years we and our children and families have been resting only in hotels of the Albatros chain. This time we decided that the Albatross was a win-win option. And I managed to choose Aqua Vista!! ! We did not expect this from Albatrosses!
We all read enough laudatory reviews about this hotel, we bought them ourselves. I will back up my review with photos. You decide for yourself what is important to you and what is not.
Above the entrance to the hotel you need to carve their motto "You are not counts, it will do! " Those who built this hotel did not bother with even minimal interior design, creating beauty and comfort. Cleanliness and order are not a priority here. In everything, complete ownerlessness, lack of control.
We arrived at the hotel when lunch was already over, and we were offered to go to the Dolphin bar for a bite to eat. This is the first bar from the main building. Here we experienced the first shock. Dirty tables filled with something, plastic cups and napkins flying on the floor! And no one even thought to clean them up! Having found at least a table that was not flooded, they raked dirty dishes from it, chewed on french fries and what is probably called a hamburger - a bun with a lettuce leaf and a thin piece of cheese embedded in it. Already depressed. Well, we think we're just tired, it will get better.
Knowing in advance that you are unlikely to get a decent room for free, they invested $ 20 in their passport and asked for a room on the second floor overlooking the pool. We love to sit on the balcony in the evening and admire the illuminated pools. We got a room on the 3rd floor in building 3. This is just in the middle of the hotel. The room is simple, without any hint of comfort. But everything works, and okay, they didn’t come to sit in the room. BUT! Upon closer examination, we found that the bed was beautifully made, and the bed linen was not changed after the previous guests !!! ! Fixed the problem by catching the janitor. In the silence of the night, it turned out that the air conditioner was noisy, like airplane turbines. You go to bed and meditate "I'm flying, I'm flying... "
RESTAURANTS.
Someone mockingly or mistakenly called these catering establishments restaurants! Canteens! ! Bare walls with fire extinguishers. That's the whole beauty. (However, in one of the "restaurants" they began to display decorations from carved vegetables for dinner. ) Maybe that's why everyone occupied tables on the street verandas. In some places, selectively, they are served for dinner, i. e. place napkins and cutlery. After the day's cleaning, the chairs are tipped back on the tables. So they stay until dinner time! Couldn't resist taking a picture. Occupying a free table, you go in search of forks and knives. Asked for salt, the waiter waved his hand somewhere "There". Dishes are removed from the tables only as long as they are needed. Empty tables are not cleaned, not served for newcomers. So they stand drenched, strewn with crumbs, although there are enough untidy waiters wandering around. And the wind drives empty cups and napkins across the floor. The family at the next table asked the waiter to serve them a table. He slapped the forks right on the dirty table, brushed the rest of the food onto the floor. Here is the serving! It will do so!
BREAKFAST
Pretty decent, standard, everything is like in other hotels. And very tasty pastries from a friendly chef. BUT! The so-called powdered juices in the vending machine on the veranda are already diluted outrageously! Several times we watched the waiter from the bar at the reception pour the juice from the machine into the ice bucket and top it up with a generous hand of water! I made it a rule to first pour a little juice, try it, and then decide whether it is worth drinking it. One morning I decided to pour myself some juice, some kind of red, I didn’t understand from what. There was a little of it left in the machine. I tried. The juice is sour! While I was thinking about who to tell about this, a new batch of juice was added from above !!
DINNER. You will not remain hungry, you will be fed for the second what you did not finish for dinner, only with different sauces, and what is left will be served again for dinner.
DINNER. This is a separate issue! The worst thing about this hotel! The description of the hotel states that the food is all inclusive. I would add "but very limited! " While visiting the edal, you feel like a poor relative at a charity dinner! In all decent hotels, the presence of a chef next to some dish is like a sign of respect for tourists, which means that the dish is some kind of special. The chef is here to strictly dose portions at his discretion.
My husband and I are not picky at all. But finding food here is very problematic! The very first dinner completely plunged us into despondency! In the fish "restaurant" the chef fried vegetables with squid and king prawns and put himself on a plate - a spoonful of squid and 1 shrimp per serving. A man next to me whined, “well, put another one! ” the answer is "You can't! " (Actually, I realized that this is a favorite word here. ) My husband brought a candle to our table from a vacant table. The waiter came running and strictly reprimanded: “You can’t! ” The guy wanted to pour himself soy sauce in an Asian restaurant, the bottle was next to the dish. Again: "You can't. " At one of the dinners, instead of fruits laid out on platters, a beautiful display case appeared with the same fruits, only the chef personally cut and gave them out - 2 slices of melon to taste reminiscent of raw potatoes, ? apples, grenade, etc. (unripe astringent dates, guava). Apparently, they decided to amaze the hotel guests with the beauty of the action! Ask a very old man to cut off not a green, but a yellow melon. Answer: "You can't" Another cook was frying pieces of fish, something like mackerel. Very amateur, few people took it. But it was fried with manic persistence for the first few days! And for lunch and dinner the next day they served it with some kind of sauce. When they fried pieces of tilapia in batter - there was already a full house! You need to stand in line for the chef to put a couple of pieces of 4-5 centimeters in size on your plate. While my husband was roaming around other eateries in search of food, I stood in line, got my 2 pieces. I stand with an outstretched plate, I say "For two. " Dropped another piece. I repeat "For two". Dissatisfied, he added another piece. Damn, how disgusting !!! ! Every evening a meat dish in all eateries is beef in a sauce of vegetables boiled into porridge. On the grill by the pool every other day they offer boiled beef. The brazier burns purely for appearance. Or they lay boiled chicken on the grill, and then hold it over the grill. Like chicken skewers! Tomorrow they'll dress up the leftover charred chicken with some kind of sauce and serve it to you for lunch. There were evenings when I had to make several circles around the eateries in search of acceptable food.
If they serve some kind of decent dish, such as fried eggplant, then only one plate. They grab it in an instant, and that's it - whoever didn't have time is late!
Canteens have different names, but the food in them is almost the same. Only in Asian everything is more acute and somewhat on topic.
BARS
The only decent and cozy place in this hotel is the last bar La Cannuelle. Beautiful interior, nice bartender, friendly service.
The Dolphin bar is a disgrace to the hotel! Having visited it twice, they did not go there again. The promised ice cream is a disgusting looking and tasting melted mass of sweetened water with a hint of milk.
The lobby bar in the reception building is decent.
See photo.
In total there are 6 or 7 buildings, I didn’t understand. Some rooms overlook the pool and restaurants, some overlook the littered sands. We got the opportunity to admire the pools, but along with this beauty, you will get the joy of listening to the roar of music until 11 pm from the speakers located at the very beginning of the hotel, near the main building. Speakers are set facing the hotel.
The description of the hotel says that the territory is large. In fact, the territory of Aqua Vista is what is seen in the main photo, i. e. pools, 6 or 7 buildings, canteens. And that's it! We spent all our evenings at Sea World or Albatros Garden. There is a cozy bar with live music, nice and spacious. In Aqua Vista, in the evenings, music is also allegedly live. For example, a song performed by Natalie sounds, and a man sings with her: “. . . What a man, I want a son from you !!,,, ” And all in the same vein.
I can write a lot more, because I have never seen such a disgrace! So I think that it was - either the Albatrosses completely deteriorated, or the family is not without......... I would very much like the hotel managers to read all this. Although for us it is no longer important. There we are no longer a foot!
