Advantages of the hotel:
1. A large, green, beautiful area. 2. A good lagoon where children can swim. A pier in the sea. There is a small coral reef and you can see the fish.
Disadvantages:
1. The most important drawback is discrimination against Russians, Ukrainians, Poles. They wear red bracelets, Germans and Italians wear green ones. For Germans and Italians, food is in a separate restaurant, normal (with us it was the Dolce Vita restaurant), and Russians and everyone else are fed in a dirty likeness of a restaurant (rather a canteen), without air conditioning and with flies. All drinks (except morning tea, coffee) are given to Russians in plastic cups. Germans and Italians - glasses, normal glasses and mugs, according to how much they I want glasses in my hands. Russians two each.
In my presence, one woman approached the Intourist guides and asked - why is there such a division by nationality? Why are we not allowed into a restaurant with Italians? The guide vaguely answered - this is, they say, the policy of the hotel. No? " He remained modestly silent.
There were 90% Russians in the hotel, approximately 8 Germans and 15 Italians. That is, it turns out that the hotel exists on the money of Russian tourists, but the Russians here are an undesirable element!
We just went in to take a picture of the interior of the Dolce Vita restaurant, so they pushed us out. "Russians can't come here! "
On December 4, our tourists staged a riot at the reception. They demanded for a long time that one of the hotel managers come out and accept the claims of Russian tourists. Finally, after half an hour of demands, the deputy manager of the hotel came out. All the requirements in English were handed to him. Then our tourists sent a letter to the Ministry of Tourism of Egypt, demanding to remove one star from the hotel, since it clearly does not pull on a four.
There are still many shortcomings.
Mosquitoes - you should definitely take fumitox and repellents with you. In the evening it is impossible to walk without smearing yourself with repellent.
Gray bed linen, gray towels. Sewerage works very poorly. Water drains for a long time and slowly to flush the toilet. they turn off often. There was one evening when there was no light throughout the hotel. And what was to be done? There were mosquitoes on the street, it was dark, it was dark in the rooms, the TVs did not work, the candles were lit (there was a candle in each room, apparently for such cases ).
Air conditioners do not work for cooling, only as fans.
A separate story is the so-called "restaurant for Russians". There are many restaurants in the hotel, in one they feed Germans and Italians, in the "canteen" of Russians, the rest are empty. So - this is really a "canteen". Iron tables, they put a napkin and a fork with a knife on them. Crumbs brush off the floor when cleaning. There are no air conditioners in the canteen. I was in December, the hotel was only half full, and there weren’t enough places for people. the hotel is completely full! From fruits - guava, half-spoiled persimmons were given three times, and cut grapefruits, melons and apples. . A lot of pastries, jelly. Salads - some kind of mixed burda. Three times there were only chopped tomatoes.
We asked the Germans how much a ticket to this hotel costs them. We thought maybe all the discrimination is in the financial side of the issue. No, the Germans paid about the same as the Russians. Then why such discrimination?
This hotel did not spoil my first impression of Egypt. I spent three days on excursions, I really liked Luxor, the pyramids, the Red Sea, Utopia Island.
They say that the owner of the hotel has changed, there was an Italian, now an Egyptian. Well, there are fools in all countries. If this owner thinks that only Germans and Italians will go to such a hotel (with poor sewage, with blackouts, with broken air conditioners) - let him think. Only now he exists at the expense of the Russians - and the Russians are humiliated.
