Review June 2015 for everyone who is interested in this hotel - pure truth, to be ready for anything.
I write point by point, choose what interests you.
To clarify: the Riviera Resort Festival and Le Jardin Festival are two hotels with a common area. You can walk everywhere, but eat only at home. The Riviera Rezot festival, in turn, is divided into 2 lines. The first line is the sea nearby, of course; restaurant and 3 swimming pools. The second line - Club - is located across the road (Nasty transition with always screaming taxi drivers), 1 pool + pool bar.
Tour operator (About the most painful)
Only Anex-tour works with this hotel. I swear to myself, never, never, even if it's free, even if they pay extra, I will not contact them again.
The representative of Anex in Egypt, Misha (actually he is Mukhamed) was tenderly polite, devotedly affectionate, charm itself... until we refused him to buy an excursion. At first he tried to persuade us, but then, when my girlfriend and I firmly said no, HE STARTED SCREAMING, banging his hands on the table, scaring us that he would cut off the bracelets and on the last day we would be left without food, that we would not be lucky back to the airport. At the end of his fiery yell, he barked that he would call the police and rushed away from us. We were, to put it mildly, shocked.
Alone, in a foreign country, without husbands and protection, we were really scared. I called my travel agent in Kaluga. He contacted the Anex tour operator in Moscow, and they were on the trail. day I got a call. They asked for forgiveness for this reptile, they said that he had no right to do anything to us. Thanks to them for the call, but the mood was irretrievably ruined.
Then, having met many at the hotel, we were told how this creature pressed them. One woman promised to complain to the Egyptian embassy. Others said that he scared that he would put drugs in suitcases... Many regretted that they were scared and bought from him, and then they found out the real prices and calculated the losses.
We bought an excursion on the beach from a Russian guide - a woman for $ 35 CHEAPER than this bastard. She then told us that before this Mikhryutki, there was an even meaner tour operator. And she also told us that the main tour operator in Egypt has such a policy - to press us by any means in order to knock out money, and he demands this from his employees at any cost. So the situation will not change, just do not mess with Anex who is going to Egypt.
Airplane
Flight 3089 and 3090. UTair. Places -340 people. The flight was delayed for an hour, but the flight back was 10 minutes earlier. The plane itself was shaking periodically and me along with it))). Back, many asked for blankets, alas, it was enough only for children.
Number
We immediately chose the second line of the Club, it is quiet and peaceful there. Own bar and pool and no loud music. I heard that many were specially given a 2nd line, so that for 5-10 dollars they were moved to another hotel))) Well, they profit from everything on ours, alas.
Our room was 4211. A large newlywed bed is for two girls)))) Probably, we hoped that we would pay for relocation. Fig fam. The bed is big - no one kicked anyone)))).
Everything worked in the room - light, hair dryer, air conditioning, refrigerator. There was always water: both hot and cold. Three mirrors, what a joy))) Wardrobe with hangers, shabby furniture, but you can live.
They clean every day, but we hung a sign when we left: “do not disturb”, so that once again no one would shuffle around our room.
For cleaning, at our request, they gave 1 dollar, our Arab had very sad eyes)))
Water was brought every day - 1 liter for two.
Towel changed - just ask.
Beach and Sea
10 min walk from the second line. They took their own towels (since I had read about the theft and a fee for the lost as much as 10 dollars). The sunbeds were always free.
Sea: attention! June! 40 degrees outside! And the sea is ICE!! ! And in general it is not there, in the morning below the waist, in the evening, ankle-deep. And a very bad bottom, you can easily hurt your legs - on the very first day I bought coral slippers for 4 dollars and did not regret it! They are sold there everywhere, business on them. Descent to the sea on the steps with railings, no sand at all.
Safe
In the first building next to the restaurant. Private room with security. For free.
Nutrition
Plates and tables were always free, but closer to July 1, there was a noticeable increase in vacationers, queues began to appear.
Drinks: wine and beer are absolutely non-alcoholic. Whiskey gives on the brain, many men are very well pumped up with it)))) From juices I advise apple and then sometimes it was bodyated with water. Orange and pineapple artificial.
Soups are original, I like it
Meat. Separate song. They don't eat pork themselves, and they don't give it to us. I saw lamb once. Chicken in one form, either fried or goulash. Beef goulash daily. Sometimes instead of goulash, 2 cutlets per person. In general, there is absolutely no choice...
Seafood is even worse. The fish was given every day of the same kind and uncooked. Well, I didn't like it at all. A couple of times they gave a collection of seafood and squid -very tasty but not enough!
Lots of hash salads, we were afraid to eat them. There was an impression that they were recycled, what was not eaten today, they interfered with salads tomorrow...
Fried vegetables and goulash from them - for an amateur.
Lots of delicious pastries and jams. There was honey.
Fruits are different for every season. Enough.
Conclusion - you will not leave hungry, but towards the end of the holiday you will dream of homemade food)))
Service
From time to time hotel employees came up to us, asked how we were eating, how we were cleaned.
Since there was a war with our tour operator on all issues, we either called the internal phone or approached the Russian girls in the hotel. They sat next to the reception - very polite and helpful.
Excursion
As mentioned above, bought on the beach. They wanted Luxor . . but they didn’t dare - the heat was unbearable. They took Venice. Ride on a boat, on a boat along the canal with beautiful cottages on both sides. We saw dolphins. The food on the ship was even very tasteless.
Conclusion: an excursion, as an attraction and knowledge of something exciting, I do not advise. Nothing interesting. And just swim in the clear open sea with a mask and fins - it's possible.
