Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For recreation with friends, for young people
I have already been to Egypt, but it was the first time I bothered to live in a three-star hotel. Before visiting I read a lot of reviews about this hotel on different sites. For a tour with a departure from Yekaterinburg I paid $ 1200 for 14 days. For one person, I can’t name such a small amount. Therefore, I was sure that everything would be fine, and that the price would justify itself. I flew to Egypt in a great mood, because I love this country.
But upon arrival I was very disappointed. WILL NEVER GO TO THIS HOTEL AGAIN! ! ! AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUSSIAN TOURISTS VISITING EGYPT FOR THE FIRST TIME TO RESTAINE! ! ! YOU CAN ONCE AND FOR ALL SPOIL YOUR IMPRESSION OF THE COUNTRY. SUCH HOTELS EGYPT SHAME! ! !

* HOR-PALACE has not been renovated for a long time, everything is very old and dilapidated, cobwebs and dust, air conditioners are "ancient", explosive.
The foyer, where you have to spend 6-7 hours waiting for a room, is dirty with cracked mirrors.

The upholstered furniture is greasy and faded, it has not been changed in appearance for 20 years, or maybe more. Absolutely oppressive impression of poverty and neglect.

Extortion at every turn! ! ! Including at the reception for the settlement in the room, frank, without hesitation. For example, they demanded $ 25 from me. Although, according to the rules, you are obliged to settle in any case, since you already paid for everything. You have the right to give tips only at your discretion, and you do not owe anything to anyone. If you only want a more comfortable room, you can offer $10. Even in 5 * this was quite enough. This hotel has 3 buildings, and 2 of them are very bad. If you are lucky, you can get into a bungalow. But, there are also nuances.

*Green area is the only plus, a lot of flowering trees and shrubs, but not well-groomed catches the eye.

*Beach
According to tourists, the beach is the only value of a possible holiday in this hotel. Much is said and written about this. It's true.
Spacious beach and easy access to the sea. But, it spoils all this lack of the required number of sunbeds and awnings. There are not enough places, and you can get burned in a few minutes, in Egypt the African sun! ! ! And ...yet, the eyes, except for the sea, have nothing to be glad about, because, EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY MANNED! ! !
Mangy sunbeds on the beach, the same mattresses, which are always in short supply. Camel Felix walks along the beach, you can ride. His blue-eyed Bedouin owner will regularly wake you up on the beach several times a day, and perhaps after the 150th time you will still agree to climb him, even if you are already allergic to camels and Bedouins : ))

* Dining room and bars (the same tattered and shabby).
OLL INCL-THIS IS VERY LOUD ABOUT THIS HOTEL!
There are almost no salads and desserts. I do not recommend drinking local wine, neither white nor red. It's a sour barmat.

THE ONLY advantage of local chefs is HOT DISHES! ! !
POTATOES AND RICE ARE EXCELLENT! ! !
AS AND SAUCES WITH SPICES TO THEM.
CHICKEN AND PANGASIUS FISH ARE GREAT TOO. RESPECT MASTERS.
SWEETS IS ALSO POSSIBLE, especially with coconut flakes.

If you suffer from digestive problems, then I still do not advise you to use sauces, especially with red pepper. But be sure to eat eggplant. YOU WILL CLEAN YOUR ORGANISM! ! ! IT IS VERY USEFUL. Of the drinks, in the evening the most popular are rum and coca-cola. But, remember, the local Coca Cola is very "nuclear", I do not recommend it to people with a sick stomach at all.

*SERVICE IS THE MOST ACHILES HEEL IN THIS HOTEL! ! !
AND THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING WAITING FOR YOU THERE! ! !
AND EVEN IF YOU ARE A VERY GREAT PERSON, YOU MAY NOT STAND THIS STICKY, BRASSING, ATTENTION GAINING YOU.
THE GARCONS IN THE DINING ROOM WERE ESPECIALLY ANNOUNTING. THEIR STUNNING JOKES, A DEMONSTRATION OF HOT ACTIVITY. CLIMBED EVERY MINUTE, JUST WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! THESE GUYS WERE RECRUITED FROM QISHLAKES.
THEY BEHAVE VERY INSANELY, UNCERTAINLY. SUCH ATTENTION IS TIRED! ! !
AND THE DISCOUNT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IN THIS HOTEL IS NOT THE WHOLE EGYPT. It is a pity that the HOTEL OWNERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY SHAME THEIR COUNTRY WITH SUCH ATTITUDE TO THE GUESTS. FISH HEAD ROTTS.

I MUST SAY THAT I PAYED ANOTHER ATTENTION THAT RUSSIAN PEOPLE ARE DISPUTED. YOU CAN'T GO TO THE EUROPEANS THAT WAY. AND THEY DID NOT TOUCH THEM AT ALL. THERE WAS THE GERMANS, THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM EVERYWHERE, A LITTLE FEW FRENCH, AND THE SWEDES WITH WHOM I MADE VERY FRIENDS.
ANOTHER BIG THANK YOU TO MY NEW FRIENDS FROM THE BALTICS AND RUSSIA! ! ! WE ALL FOUND EACH OTHER ON THE INTERNET AFTER THE TRIP AND NOW WE CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE!

THIS IS WHAT KILLS DEPRESSION AND HOW IT RECONCILIATES WITH THE INEVITABLE!! ! : ))

WISH YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!
