Просто отдых Just rest

hello day! So from the very beginning, arriving at the airport at 21.30, we were met by 38 degree heat, which was super! Taking the leaflets for customs from the Corral stoic, we stood in a huge queue, for a stamp in the passport, the guide who distributes the leaflets offered a visa without a queue for $ 17, but we bought it there at the bank for 15. There were 700 people in the Boeing, respectively, the queue was divided into 2 customs desks, as I understand it, the "traders" are to blame for this, who offered a visa and a stamp in the passport without a queue, realizing that everyone wants to legally go through customs, after 30 minutes another 3 racks opened - the queue began to move forward. We really liked the bus guide, he joked in Russian and told a lot of useful information about souvenirs, meetings with the hotel guide and the sea. Having entered the Golden five hotel, we left at the first hotel (there was a mistake)))), but we had to get to EMERALD 5 *, a smiling porter to the question - what to do? answered - I do not know, asking for money with his eyes.
But the boy at the reception called our hotel and the bus returned for us, while they were waiting for the bus, they brought us cold hibiscus, which we were pleasantly surprised and dumbfounded, in a foreign hotel they served us tea!!!? ? ? ? Arriving at our hotel, we were immediately settled in a room on the 4th floor with a gorgeous view of the sea (apparently lucky because 2 more couples who arrived properly settled with a view of the other wall of the hotel) with a double bed. In the minibar we found sprite, cola and water (srite and cola are given 1 time, upon arrival, although it costs a penny), the shower was barely flowing, but we were inspired by the beautiful view and the general decoration of the hotel that we didn’t notice it right away. In the morning we went to the sea at 7.
00, where almost all the sunbeds were occupied, our simple Russian tourists apparently tied them up at 5 in the morning, but never came, the same situation was in the water park (if you can call it that, only 5 slides of them on two with difficulty even the children moved out, one was never repaired, but for the remaining 2 there was always an endless queue. ) BUT the chic, beautiful sea met us with calm, we immediately began to dive - the sea is like an aquarium, hundreds of colorful fish, sea urchins, stars , colorful corals.

Then at 9.00 there was a meeting with the guide (of course, a Russian-speaking Arab))) but as for the TEZ tour and Pegast, there were Russian guides and they told everything in an interesting and detailed way), who behaved in general without interest in anything, thanks at least said hello.
We were driving purely to the beach, so we didn’t want to take any excursions, and then he began to scare us that if you don’t decide now, you won’t be able to choose and write a statement that our company will not bear responsibility for you if you go with someone else. It’s just some kind of horror, the mood has deteriorated ...Naturally, millions of excursions were offered on the beach, like pies on the beach in the Crimea and Sochi, but only pies dealers don’t poke them in your nose and don’t ask why you don’t buy. The husband was simply pissed off. NUTRITION. The dining room struck me with the size of the tables and the abundance of products, BUT already on the second day I started to suffer from DIARRHEA, which ended only at home from borscht with sour cream and garlic. Of course, eating is rubbish, I ate only couscous, rice and fruits, and on the last day my husband ate mashed potatoes from the children's menu. There were few fruits - green melon -1 times, green oranges, green bananas, and small, wild dates.
I advise you not to experiment with dishes that you have not eaten before! And snacks are generally rubbish, everything is very greasy and stinks, beer (which my husband loves was given strictly two plastic cups in 1 hand and said - "but mo, but mo" no more), my husband was just in shock, and if you wanted to drink from bottles, then please pay $6 for a bottle and drink as much as you like. Restaurants that the guide advertises, which you can visit for free only 1 time - just a laugh, I’ll say briefly - everything that we didn’t eat in the dining room, we ate in the evening in restaurants that sound loud - Italian, Fish, Asian, Russian (at least there was just boiled potatoes and lightly salted cucumbers ) - all! The rest of the local drinks, juices, etc. are just rubbish, the cheapest.

LEISURE:

Huge territory, you can walk, you need to negotiate with merchants until the last, until you give up, all goods from CHINA do not believe if someone says that they are made in Egypt, the country does not produce porcelain, magnets and footballs and is of very poor quality, but merchants are offended if you say it's synthetic)))! Only aroma oils, but they can only be bought at a factory in Cairo, and not in a tent from Russian-speaking Arabs. There is no ANIMATION for children, only club dances for adults, which were the same day after day, twice, to the same music, I was already sick of it. Aqua aerobics often went 3 times, depending on the mood of the animator and training. And for men in the water park, one polo for 30 minutes, they gave out a ball. And 3 more times there was a discotheque, the entrance was $ 10 per person, but it was absolutely not worth it and it started at 23.00 already madly sleepy. Billiards $5 an hour with bamboo cues, no triangles and dirty tables.
And on the last day, as soon as the bracelets were removed, you ceased to be a person, the waiters and porters, and in general the entire staff, cease to pay any attention at all to you. We ourselves saw how the guy took 2 beers without a bracelet, apparently the bartender did not see, but like the administrator ordered him to take it back, he gave it to him, we were just in SHOCK. THE OWNER SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE STAFF AND CONDITIONS, as all this scares away customers! Although there is always demand...

In short, we liked the rest no matter what, but I won’t go there again and I won’t advise my friends. You decide!
