Совковый санаторий Sovkovy sanatorium

We rested from 17.09-24.09. 12. In Egypt 2 times, before that we rested in the Golden Five Club. Lily-Land was highly advised by a travel agent, he said that he only sends his mother to him. We arrived at 18 o'clock, they met us and started taking us to hotels, we stopped by Golden, Albatross and some other hotels, it was very beautiful everywhere! A lot of fires were burning, there was a feeling of a holiday!
Until we drove up to Lily Land… For some reason, only the word “Land” was lit on the signboard, the bulbs in “Lily” obviously burned out… At that moment, I had some doubts. Then, almost in the dark, we were brought to the reception from the back door, there were some repairs going on around, so it was dirty. At the reception, they gave me 2 keys - from the room and from the safe (namely, the keys! And not the cards), which also alerted me, because. in modern hotels, rooms are opened with a card, and safes are electronic).
Came to the room - it's just HORRIBLE! I never thought that I would write a bad review, I'm usually happy with everything, it's hard to bring me down, but here....Everything in the room is very old and dirty, the furniture is very shabby! Shower dirty! I told the porter that I didn't like the room and we went to another one. We walked for a very long time along the tangled corridors, you can hardly get out yourself, went up to the 3rd floor, for a long time they could not open the lock with the key when they entered - I did not understand why this room was better than the previous one, it was also shabby and dirty. We refused it and we were taken to a "superior, with a view of the water park" The room was really a bit newer, on the first floor. But it's still very, very old. Everything is nice and clean at my house, and I want it to be at least as good on vacation, and if possible better, in order to gain pleasant impressions.

I gave the man who took us to the numbers 10 dollars and a chocolate bar. There were a lot of ants and mosquitoes in the room besides us. She threw back the bedspread on the bed and found that someone had already slept in this bed before us - the sheets around the legs were dirty and a bunch of long female hair. We showed this to the luggage porter, after 10 minutes they came to us and changed the bed.
In general, the first impression of the hotel was terrible. We didn’t even want to change into something beautiful, sat on the edge of the bed because of the feeling of dirt around... We decided to explore the area, but in the evening it is almost invisible (probably due to energy savings) everywhere is dark and sad. I brought a lot of beautiful dresses with me, but they would look ridiculous in this hotel…only shorts and a tank top are needed here. .
Fun only near children's animation. Those with children are happy.
We went to a restaurant, but it turned out to be a canteen. We had nothing to eat (we eat healthy food - that is, meat + vegetables and fruits), and there is a bunch of some kind of burda that we don’t eat. As a result, I found myself some beef and fresh cucumbers. Here's a dinner... For breakfast it was better - there was an omelet and vegetables. There were a lot of pastries, but we don't eat them, so I didn't try them.
I did not want to go back to the room so as not to cry. I understood people who write that they wanted to go home from such a vacation...
At 3 a. m. we woke up due to the prayer of the mullah, which he reads into the loudspeaker for the whole hotel... In the morning we ran to the guide with a request to change the hotel for us for an extra charge, he said to come later, after he met with tourists.
I asked a lot of tourists - do they like the hotel - everyone who was on vacation for the first time answered "yes", only people who were here 2-6 times answered "no". At a meeting with the guide, he distributed questionnaires, in one from the graph it was necessary to make a note - what time in Egypt - the majority put "first" From which I conclude: those who are abroad for the first time like Lily Land, those who have already been - NO!

After long negotiations with the guide, the director of the hotel (he promised to move us to a bungalow, and let us go to a la carte restaurants every evening, but we were inexorable), we were told to pay an extra $ 10 per person per night and changed our hotel to Golden Five Paradise! That's where the vacation FINALLY BEGAN! We ended up in a luxurious room and for the very first dinner we ate crabs, melons and grapes, walked around the illuminated area in beautiful outfits!!!
I am even grateful to Lily-Land, because (in one saying) to understand what a day is, one must survive the night. We have already been to Golden in the Club, and if we went to it right away, we might have turned our noses, but after Lily-Land we were extremely happy all the remaining days!!! !
