Review of the hotel Aqua Vista (Egypt) Albatros Aqua Vista Resort & Spa 4*
This is a real review about this hotel - let's say objective-subjective. So, writing about the transfer is just wasting time. Here we are at the hotel (we rested from May 30 to June 16.2011). Time 22-30 (local) - we are at the reception. Three Arabs - decent-looking at the counter - one Mahmed (in my opinion) - speaks Russian (with reluctance). There were 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 children. 3 more couples came to the hotel with us - and they put everything in the passport from 15 dollars. We also put money in - $ 15 because there were many children and one in general is not small and 9 months old.
Objectively: the settlement is calm, without fuss, a dollar to the porter. The request to bring the child a small bed - fulfilled in 15 minutes.
The room is standard (three - four) Objectively - it is clear that the builders were in a hurry - tiles, accessories in the shower are all a blunder - but I put a tolerable 3 points. Advice - do not shove money - they will settle it like that. An important point regarding the room is cleaning. Objectively: two Arabs are cleaned - daily, regardless of the tip left, cleaned cleanly, towels changed daily, sheets every other day or 2 - they didn’t notice - everything is clean - for cleaning the room I put a bold 5 Rku. Very surprised by the accuracy and unobtrusiveness.
Food . Attention who goes to Aqua Vista not only to the sea, but also to eat - read to all ulcers !!! ! Subjectively (but everything is photographed). If you are an ulcer - trying to commit suicide with the help of euthanasia - this hotel is really for you. Food - this is a huge HUGE minus of this hotel - reducing all its pluses (which are about them later) - below the plinth. Gentlemen are good (owners or managers of the hotel) yes, kill your cook or remove his pepper
. So all the details!!!!! ! Often in the reviews - which we read - people wrote "the hotel has four restaurants. " Indeed - either from the weak imagination of the owners..... or from something else - there really are four "restaurants" on the territory one after the other. ) is Japanese. I am writing objectively about each of these pseudo-restaurants - which I would call - more like snack bars.
The first restaurant is Fish - in which there are always not enough people - the fish is mostly dorado (in all manifestations) - and I note - only in the fish restaurant - at the chef - even more or less tasteful, to put it mildly, nothing - but the fish is mediocre - but in comparison with the rest of the eateries - I put the cook a three-ruble note with a minus. Well, objectively - the fish is so-so. Among other things - I note that this eatery - works only for dinner.
The second restaurant is the so - called ( as I called it ) Type Italian . They called it Italian, apparently, because the Arab chef bakes a piece of dough in fat (terrible) in the oven....And what he ends up with - you can’t call it pizza - BUT !!! ! The people stand up to him and I will explain why - because through the passageway with the Italian bodyaga - there is a miracle - an International restaurant - and now the cook (chef) of this restaurant will tear off his hands... or take his pepper away. Gentlemen objectively pepper in everything. In a terrible soup called Onion....vermicelli..... brrrr, as I remember, my hand reaches for gastal - do not consider it an advertisement - but if it were not for stomach remedies..... you would hardly have read my review. So - pepper in everything. Not only that - for a mockery - in this restaurant - there is a so-called Horse Diet))) A dietary corner - in which - the same menu for 16 days - boiled vegetables - a saucepan with camel - absolutely undercooked meat - take care of your teeth) - and rice. If not for this……. . And yet – even this is not the worst thing about food……the worst day is Friday – when they take all their stoves out into the street – and at the same time – all the restaurants – do not cook normal food - and on the street lined up with plates. We stood behind a grilled chicken - the chef personally put it to me, let's just call it a piece of coal and scraps of burnt skin - and bulging his eyes, he began to grumble something - I threw this shit into his own tank. Well, I think - I'll try shawarma)))). Unknown coals of unknown meat - stubbornly found my plate. Friday is the most terrible day - I survived from three))). So objectively: there is meat - but in 90% it is peppered and hard, even in the dietary corner. If you decide to go to this hotel, then choose your food with great care.
Bottom line on food: there are meat dishes - there is no variety. Breakfast is monotonous to disgrace. In dirty pans filled with fat - they fry eggs, sometimes there are boiled eggs - we took them - but apparently they are thoroughly washed before cooking - and they smell of disinfection, there are pancakes, there are almost no cheeses.
About sweets. Gentlemen - I already thought that meat is not the strong point of this hotel))) this is not true - Egyptian chefs are so weak in sweets - that their products are an order of magnitude worse than Three Star hotels in Turkey on line 10))). Yesterday I counted - 18 sweet dishes - I speak subjectively - sweets are simply disgusting. Fruits: I went to Dahar (a market in Hurghada) for fruits, you leave the hotel through the road - to the minibus and to the final one - the road costs 3 pounds - cheap - there is everything on the market - they bought mangoes, peaches, grapes, watermelons. Objectively in the hotel: there were red apples (from Chile), green ones, green inedible melon, for 16 days they gave peaches 6 times - green, I didn’t like the small local bananas, there were no oranges either. and fruits could be varied.
YES! ! ! I completely forgot to write about a miracle - the fourth JAPANESE restaurant. I don’t know what kind))) goblin - a real Japanese chef does it there)))) apparently for show. So the dishes of a Japanese restaurant: French fries, vegetables, some kind of crap - the same as in other restaurants... but !!! ! This Japanese with an important look is cooking something in a frying pan in front of you (I was interested in this) and after all the miracles of the previous cafes - I decided, well, what if at least the Japanese will amaze me))))) But... alas... with a gloomy look))) meditating) )) a Japanese man was frying noodles in a frying pan interspersed with Korean spicy carrots - apparently left over from yesterday's Japanese-Korean salad)..... Having tried this dish..... I went up to him and asked - will there be sushi.......? )))) on that he was offended (just like Ilf and Petrov). I won’t bother with stories about a nasty snack on the beach - the same semblance of greasy pizza as in the so-called Italian restaurant for dinner... fu...... we watched the news about the poisoned guys in Turkey from local alcohol...... We didn’t get poisoned in aqua vista - it’s just that they call Whiskey) - it smells so . . that you can drink it..... you can only under their own cooking and only for a suicidal ulcer. The rest is juices (lemonade) like everywhere else. Yes - everywhere they give out bottled water - and the glasses in the bar are washed with city water... somehow I took a glass and looked at the light..... the bartender (of an international restaurant) looked at me...... after examining whether there were any ciliates on the glass besides greasy spots - I put it back - the bartender offered me another glass - taking out glass brothers from a pile of glass brothers standing in the sink - wiping it with a red greasy rag - the bartenders there have all the rags that are red)) and greasy. Bottom line: this concoction cannot be called food - I give them 2 points on a five-point system. Very bad cooks... very - with their pseudo-restaurants - with their terrible cooking - all the advantages of this hotel, as I wrote, are below the plinth.
Sea. what saves the day is the sea. But Aqua Vista can only sunbathe in a certain area - nothing like tourists from their aqua - you can use the common beach and, by the way, slides - the Five-Star Albatross - which is on the first line. - You will be taken out from the slides and from the beach.
So the sea....always enough sunbeds. There is a creek between two piers - everything seems to be nothing but !!! ! Objectively - every day - yachts stop at the pier - with divers - after them the sea... and the beach on the left - this is a terrible garbage dump - I am attaching pictures. There are no corals. But you can sail away - from the side of the wild beach - all sorts of different fish - and this is perhaps the only plus of this hotel. The road to the beach from Vista is 15 minutes. The bus runs every 30 minutes.
I summarize: I will go to this hotel in the event that the ticket is at least 50% off …. . no 70 ……. . The kitchen … spoils everything and the sea (after all, the Red Sea – despite the moored garbage dump yachts) … . . and a wonderful area with good pools. The slides in the Garden - the children liked it very much. but nevertheless - there I am more... not a foot. But it's up to you to decide.
Yes ! A few words about the spa. I ordered a HAMAM (Turkish bath) for myself - there were 7 times in Turkey... there are real hamams - but what was here (I'm talking about a spa in 5 stars on the beach) - the bathhouse attendant washed me for the first time - who was in white jeans - he was very afraid of spray - quality - you know - do not try to take this procedure. A girl Tanya works in the spa - Russian - blonde - a well-rounded girl - has been living in Egypt for 7 years already - despite talking like for her homeland - she still tries to foist the procedure on you - I took several massages - the masseur Mohammed is a bald Arab. The second massage for some reason lasted not 30 minutes but 20!! ! he had to leave a tip of $ 5 - guys - spa - in my subjective opinion, this is a swindle. And a hamam - not a hamam... and even a massage therapist for $ 25 - works for 30 minutes as agreed and 20...... No where to where - but not into albatrosses...
