This was my sixth trip to Jasmine, I will write a review comparing it with last year. So let's get started! We flew from TO Intourist and Transaero, and if there are no complaints against Intourist, then we have against Transaero: flights there were delayed by 1.5 hours back by 4. Well, let's leave the little things and back to our long-awaited vacation.
We arrived at the hotel at 12 at night, we were immediately sent for dinner, my mother and I refused food, but we drank tea with pleasure, then we were given the keys and we were finally able to take a shower and go to bed. everything worked and no living creatures were observed.
This year, the food has become noticeably worse both in terms of assortment and quality. My mother and I were not picky people, it happened that we rested in Turkish treshkas, but now the food and service caused a slight bewilderment, what happened to the hotel? that we won’t let you ruin your vacation, they didn’t pay attention to rude bartenders, they left a tip to the cleaner every other day and gave him a chocolate bar, Alyonka, two packs of cigarettes and a souvenir lighter. two and fresh bed linen. It was more difficult with food, since it was hot and I didn’t really want to eat. Breakfast for my taste is the most edible and safe (if you don’t take under-fried fried eggs), I took eggplant, pancakes, cheese and croissants with jam.

With lunch and dinner it was more difficult a lot of spices in almost all dishes and in its pure form there was no meat, no fish, not even chicken, all mixed with half-baked vegetables. For dinner we often went to Oriental where you can eat grilled chicken without any impurities, and for lunch we went to Ali Baba several times (the food there is a little more decent, like 1.5-2 years ago in Jasmine). The problem with food was helped to solve the shopping center Senzo Mol, we bought very tasty pears, mangoes and grapes there, once we bought a melon (not tasty) and very tasty guavo and mango juices (in glass) the price is 1.5 dollars or 9.5 pounds per liter bottle. We also bought plastic glasses there and drinks in bars were poured into them for us.
The sea, as always, is superbly clean, warm and simply beautiful, I am in love with the Red Sea, from overseas all the shortcomings of the hotel seem insignificant. I wanted to give a 50-year-old uncle on the neck, who broke off pieces of coral for his granddaughter four times, but revenge happened quite unexpectedly, he stepped on a hedgehog quite hard while walking around the bay. A trifle, but nice. I'm not a bloodthirsty monster, it just hurts when such beauty dies right before our eyes because of such ghouls.
Once we went to Hurghada, we went to the Star Fish restaurant, as always a lot of pleasure for not a lot of money. Shopping in the city did not work out, my mother reacts very nervously to a large crowd and harassment of Arabs. We bought all small things and souvenirs in Cleopatra and Senzo Mole.
A very unpleasant moment !! ! At the airport, when buying a visa, they slipped me torn 20 dollars, which they didn’t even accept anywhere in the bank, we didn’t take much money with us and this twenty caused great grief. After suffering for two days, my mother picked up hairspray and colorless for nails and blinded such a candy that even I could not find the place of the gap.
Ten days passed unnoticed, it's time to go home with sadness and not much longing, they said, "Goodbye Red Sea, we will definitely be back! " Will I come again to this hotel? I will come if the price is very low, but in general I want to try it in spring I have never been there in Sharma! If anyone has questions, write!
