Hotel ratings by criteria:
In principle, a good hotel, answers its own 4. There is even a plus, you pay for 4, and you use everything even in 5 GOLDEN FIVE CITY. The staff is friendly, the service is good, the food is tasty, but you get bored quickly. The hotel itself is new, the rooms are large, the furniture and everything else is also new. True, there is a lot of dust in the room, on the bedside tables, on the shelves in the closets, but these are trifles. For a dollar, the Arabs work wonders from towels, various swans, flowers, hearts, etc. Let's move on to the minuses - firstly, there are a lot of mosquitoes, they just bite. If you go to Egypt in winter, be sure to take some kind of insect repellent with you. You can go crazy at night, mosquitoes completely do not let you sleep, and they bought something like a raptor and some pills for it in an Egyptian pharmacy from these infections, but they do not help at all. And secondly, there you can say so, there are no normal discos in any of the hotels. The only disco that works at night is located in the PARADISE HOTEL, but it is in a room where you can suffocate from the heat and smoke, there is absolutely nothing to breathe, so all drinks are paid, even plain water.
I would also like to tell you about the New Year, which was a little spoiled... They paid $ 110 per person, and some were more expensive, but it didn’t work out to walk normally. Initially, the whole celebration was planned on the beach in a tent, which was supposed to accommodate 5.000 vacationers from 7 GOLDEN FIVE hotels. In order to sit near the stage, we paid $63 for shitty Egyptian champagne, which is impossible to drink. You can’t come with your own alcohol, for a bottle a fine of $ 10, their alcoholic drinks are poured only until 12 at night, then everything is paid. It seems like they measured, but alas, it did not work out... When checking the electrical wiring in the New Year's tent on the night of December 29-30, it burns out... The celebration was moved to each hotel separately. As a result, there is little space, tasteless food, bad booze, the concert generally sucks, some animators did their best, and everything else is complete garbage, especially African dances killed - who knows what... Nobody heard the chimes , so everyone met. But this is all nonsense, finished off by the fact that when they ended, sort of like a concert, at 1:30, there should have been a disco, but it lasted right up to 2:00, and then everyone was knocked out... The Russians started a fight with Arabs showed that they did not agree with this, but this did not change anything, we were forced to disperse...
What can I say in the end, in principle, the hotel is good and I liked the rest in general, but my advice to you is not to go there for the new year...
