"Спокойный" отдых. "Calm" holiday.

Holidays are full of adventure. But my husband and I brought good memories of the SEA, and good impressions of REST.
First, a few downsides.
1. We went this year to celebrate my birthday in "Bella Vista". And of course, no one in the hotel remembered him. So, there was no traditional cake. The essence is not in the cake, there are enough desserts, but this speaks of the organization of the hotel management. There is a light glove compartment in the management.

2. And now I will tell a terrible story in general. I am aware of all the nuances of a holiday in a warm African country, where there are a lot of insects and generally a lot of living creatures. But! But the whole story is that for four days I was gnawed in the room by bedbugs. Yes! It's the bugs. Until we finally figured out what actually bites. At first I thought mosquitoes, then solar allergies, then I didn’t know what to think, because it doesn’t look like anything. On the morning of the fourth day, we complained to the guide that something was biting us, I showed my bite marks on my arms and shoulders. Hani is a guide, told at the reception. In 20 minutes. We already stank of "RAID" in our room. We additionally treated the room with a spray that was left to us. In fact, everyone was released from the spray can in the room, and went to the beach. Arriving at dinner in the room, we found an unpleasant smell of "Raid", and bugs lying on the floor under the bed upside down. Only after examining them closely, and saying - "they look like ticks", the husband suddenly gave out - "It seems that I know that they are small, red, blood-sucking, they burst loudly when you press them, and with an unpleasant specific smell! That's what they say about bugs! " We crushed them that night on the wall near the bed. It's bedbugs! "
The husband immediately went to the reception, by the hand led the administrator to the room. He showed the "residents" who lay under the bed and crawled along the sheet. With the words - these are not mosquitoes, and "Raid" will not help, we began to ask what's next?
Ten minutes later, the administrator, with a restrained calm smile, and with the words - "it's just bugs from the greenery crawled into the room" showed us another room, where we were immediately moved, and things were transferred.
"Call us a doctor, for insurance" - we asked, it was necessary to treat the bites with something. To which we were told - "it's not worth it", and they themselves brought ointment for bites, and allergy pills (antihistamines). For free. In fact, they themselves brought exactly what was needed. We then consulted with knowledgeable people. The itching went away in the evening, the next morning the marks began to disappear. Of course, we "popularly" explained to the administrator that "bugs" from greenery do not bite people, and that this is not from greenery. You have to give credit to the administrator. He pretended that it was just a trifle, immediately moved, brought medicine, and sent a fruit basket to our room. And the fact that he understood what was at stake was immediately evident - as soon as we showed him the "animal". He made a call from the number. Two frightened people came running, who remained there after we left with puzzled faces. An hour later my husband came to look at our "old" room. It was interesting what they would do. So there already was, virtually, empty. The beds were dismantled, carried out, the paintings were removed from the walls, the rest of the furniture was taken out. The next day the walls were already whitewashed. So, no matter how calmly the administrator smiled, and did not say that these were "mosquitoes", or "bugs from the greenery", but they understood exactly what we showed them! And action was taken immediately.

That's how we spent half the rest in one room, and the other half - in a room opposite the pool, with German neighbors from all sides. In this building on the left side, opposite the pool, repairs are just being completed. The third floor is ready. The second one is under renovation. So during the day it sometimes smelled of water-based emulsion, and paint from the lower floor. But the view was more interesting, and the air conditioning worked better.
I will not write the number of the room where we were "unlucky with living creatures. " Doesn't make sense. She has been fully processed. Another room 355 - it is unnecessary to write how carefully we examined it, and looked closely all the days. But they didn't find anything. There were no roommates anymore. And we didn’t notice bites on other vacationers, and no one saw anything like that.
I am writing this not so much as a reproach to the hotel, but I PAY ATTENTION to vacationers - be careful ! ! It even happens! ! If we immediately understood what was at stake, we would have lived longer with a view of the pool. : -))
The adventure didn't end there. A couple of days later, my husband and I went to wander around the city, shopping... And then my husband could not sleep for half the night - he itched. We have never seen such a number of mosquito bites on one person. And I don't think we're alone. The maskites literally bit the husband's arms, legs, and back. We already thought about bedbugs, but there were none, and a lot of time passed after the move. Most likely really Muskites, or....? Since in the supermarket - "Cleopatra" mosquitoes really flew inside and there were shops - we think these are mosquitoes. But VERY POISONOUS!! ! I'll post a picture - take a look! We paid no attention to mosquitoes. Then my husband was waiting for me in a cafe on the street, drinking beer. I sat there for about 30 minutes. And on my right hand, as if by a ruler, there were bites. Probably, as he put his hand on a chair, they sat down in a row. I hope it was mosquitoes. Africa is a hectic place to rest, and there are plenty of predators of different sizes. Now we have a MANDATORY order for glasses, and a headdress will have a remedy for bites and mosquitoes! Africa in a nutshell. . .

As you understand, if you take everything that happened very seriously, then you can say that the rest is gone. But I was not so scared by the "bugs" that I would ruin my vacation on the Red Sea! Moreover, I understand that there is no particular fault of the hotel in this. "These" were either brought by the tourists who were in front of us in the room, or... we were simply unlucky with the room, for which we immediately gave $ 15 upon check-in. We asked for a nice room! And with the Muskites - they themselves are to blame! No need to feed them. . . : -)
And now about the good!
The hotel is not bad enough.
1. The beach is the first line. Own, clean, cleared entry into the sea. No rocks or reefs. There were enough beds. Mattress toppers were washed and changed. The sun loungers were washed.
2. Food - very good, judging by the reviews of other hotels. Beef, chicken, fish every day. Soups, salads, side dishes, desserts. Yes, it may be monotonous, but no one asks to eat everything in one day! You can try everything step by step. But you can plan what you will eat today, and what else you want to eat! In the end, the husband ate only cereal with milk in the morning, and VERY tasty puffs with VERY tasty honey. Sometimes an omelet.
And all the time there is, something else the stomach refused on the 4th day. So, I had to look for "familiar" products and not abuse the assortment and variety in food.
3. Animation - this is also the issue of the glove compartment in the management! It is very annoying when you are offered to attend an evening show for 5-7 or 15 dollars at the table all day. Animation here for extra money. And they VERY importunately sell it to you!
4. Rooms are weak. For three. Old not beautiful furniture. The furniture body is made of bent pipe, and painted in blue-turquoise color.
5. The territory is not bad. Small but cozy. Not a bad pool.
6. Very calm and decent staff. No one interfered with anyone to rest, and did not pester. True, only a few people know Russian.
If you throw away the old, ugly furniture, and incomprehensible animation, then the hotel is VERY NOT BAD 4 *. Agree - not every 5 * has its own beach and the first line. And not every 4 * has a good kitchen. Everything else... well, that's how lucky anyone is! And watch who bites you! : -)

The impression from the location of the hotel, from the sea, and from a calm, quiet holiday is very good. And everything else - you need to create a mood for yourself, then, and it's easier to relax. And if you "get dirty" on everything - then you just need to sit at home!
