нормальный отдых, но можно найти лучше ok stay but you can find better

We traveled together with my husband from January 24 to February 1.2009. We settled in the 3rd building, everything is fine, everything is close. In winter, it is. 6 is closest to the sea but far from everything else. The buildings are all the same, differing only in distance from one or another object. In general, the impression is nothing, but if there is an opportunity to choose a better hotel, look for it. Lots of little annoyances. For example, on the day we arrived, we went to dinner at a restaurant. When we sat down, an Arab came up to us with a tray and offered us a cocktail. nice one with a cherry on top. Just in case, we refused and rightly so - they just give it to everyone who wants it, and then they give a bill for 3 euros for each cocktail. Fortunately, no one extorted tips on the territory of the hotel, but they gladly accepted. We left $ 1 for the cleaner, on the last day they made swans for us. The rooms are cleaned every day, there are no problems with water either - every day they put a 1.5 liter bottle. We brushed her teeth and drank. You don’t really need it, until 24:00. You can take drinks in bars, and then you especially want to drink it. By the end of the holiday, 4 bottles were full. The furniture in the room is quite old, the door is opened not with a card, as usual in modern hotels, but with a key. Tiles laid crooked, the same in the pools. We did not demand an ideal, but this inaccuracy is absolutely unpleasant in everything. At first glance, there is a lot of food in the restaurant, but in the end, we almost always took rice and chicken from the side dish, tomatoes, cucumbers, and salad from vegetables. Almost everyone did this. By the way, cucumbers are not cut there. but they shred. Literally half of all "circles" are just a small piece of skin (this happens when a knife jumps off. But there are a huge number of such jambs in these cucumbers). The potatoes there have a terrible taste, no one took them. Of the fruits were fezales, melon, guava, dates. Look like that's it. Desserts are very tasty. delicious at first, but by the end of the holiday no one had eaten them. Food for 9 days is very boring. But for breakfast they give a lot of things. We took an egg, cereal with milk, pancakes (they are made on the street and not everyone sees them), scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs. They also provide a huge amount of buns for breakfast. They are covered in chocolate. they put something sweet in them, there is a small version like our Berlin cake. Type 4 buns were definitely taken in the morning. From the drink were yupi of different colors and tastes, cola and its counterparts, tea, coffee.
The country itself is unpleasant in that you are perceived as a bag of money. When we flew there, we could not immediately land because of a sandstorm and ended up spending 6.5 hours in the air. Naturally, when they arrived there were none. At the exit from the airport, an assistant flew up to us and snatched things like before the tour. bus to bring things. Well, we are walking side by side, he showed signs that they say you have 5 dollars! This is for the path of a suitcase on wheels of 50 meters in a straight line. We refused and wanted to take a suitcase from him, but he says okay, let's like 1 dollar. We were completely tortured, we took out this dollar and gave it away. In the same second (less than a third of the way) the Arab threw our suitcase on the floor and left. It's not about the dollar, it's about being deceived at every turn. Fruits and other things came out of the hotel to buy, so everyone is dragged to their shop, they grabbed me there so as not to leave. and when we didn’t buy anything, they began to explain and shout nasty things. The same was with everyone who did not buy anything (we then exchanged "bright impressions" with tourists). We were on an excursion in Luxor (photo with painted walls from there), it was impressive, but when you leave any museum you have to go through the bazaar. During this time, they will not give you a passage, hang everything, show off all sorts of rubbish. We bought from the temple of Hatshepsut for $ 3 a arafat made of cotton (there are cotton ones, and there are synthetic ones). We bought by the way at the hotel (not where the reception, but at the restaurant) 2 hookahs for $50. in a tent in front of the hotel we were offered both for 30, but there was such a delivery Arab that we decided to buy a quieter hotel. In the hotel, too, they first break the price and gradually drop it.
We went on ATVs, I thought I would stay there. It is very scary, if you are not extreme, it is better not to meddle. It throws up a lot on bumps, all my eyes were in the sand, I pulled out the clods straight (although I was riding wrapped up and wearing glasses), everyone had it. The show in the desert is the same as the fakir show in the hotel. The hotel is even better. animation in general in the hotel is normal, but it is done by only 2 people, they are fakirs, and presenters, and yogis and everything in the world.

In general, the hotel is quite old and somehow we didn’t get much pleasure, because at every step they want to deceive. There is a $20 fine for a lost towel card. For a lost bracelet (the standard one that is worn upon arrival) a fine of $100. It's annoying. The winds were strong, we swam in the sea 2 times, everyone mostly hangs by the pool. There are a lot of fish in the sea. And a coral reef. locals said that from February 15 it would be real summer and there would be no winds.
At the Albatros Hotel, several people were poisoned, 2 were taken away in an ambulance. None of us have, thank God. the area is beautiful.
in general, if you go there cheaply, then the norms, this vacation is not worth it. If you haven't booked yet, look for a better option. this hotel is nothing but rather old. there is no such thing as right ah! everything is at the bare minimum.
