To begin with, the hotel was chosen on the recommendation of a travel agency employee, a girl whom we trust very much, because with her light hand we had a good rest, including in Egypt. At first we were set for a 5 * hotel, but we were convinced that this hotel, although 4 *, is popular and people come with incredibly good impressions. But.....
We were settled in a house (according to them, "overlooking the sea") right up to..... the eighth line. Sea on the horizon. We are shocked. They asked to be moved closer (for an additional fee), since we had a four-year-old child with us. They said there are no rooms, come back tomorrow. Tomorrow they said to come the day after tomorrow. Etc. This is their tactic, since we heard talk about such a "resettlement" near the pool from other tourists. They asked for a room for three, but the bed was brought, and the third blanket and towels were asked for another three days. The staff nods their heads, promises everything and. . . does nothing. The furniture and sun loungers on the beach are old, the numbers on the safe buttons are erased, so the safe cannot be closed. In bars, drinks are given 1 glass per hand and, if you are with a company, then everyone will have to get up from the sun loungers and go for juice, beer, cocktails, so there is always a queue at the bar. The workers are enraged, because no matter what you ask, they say "thank you" and do nothing at all, the guides try to "sell" excursions quickly so that there is no time to think, motivating this by the fact that you need to develop a route somewhere, and this "cantor" works once a week and precisely "today or tomorrow", otherwise, they say, you won't get any kind of permission there. There is a lot of food, but everything is tasteless, with the exception of beef, so for 7 days they ate only eggs and beef. Juices taste like yupi drink. First impression: HORRIBLE! HORROR! HORROR!
But... Later we learned a short way and it turned out that it was not so far to go to the sea (7 minutes). The beach and the sea are clean, where everyone can swim: both children and adults, it’s clean near the pools, a heated pool for children, a very beautiful underwater world near the pier: fish, live corals, various animals (the guide didn’t tell us about this, but " vparil "excursion, on which the fish are much smaller, and the corals are generally dead).

The situation was saved by the atmosphere in our "tourist team". We turned all the minuses into a joke and tried our best to maintain a good mood. Happened. Nobody wanted to go home. Yes, and the desire to write a negative review subsided. But, if you are traveling together, tune in to the fact that you will live far away from the beauty captured in the photographs, the staff will ignore requests, in a la carte restaurants the food is exactly the same as in the main restaurant (one to one), and a bunch of other "surprises"
