We were at the hotel from 7 to 15 October 2012.
In Egypt for the 7th time. I have been to Sharm and Hurghada. A little out of order, but I'll tell you exactly about the pros and cons.
Minuses:
Rooms for two are average. At first they gave a room with a view of the construction site, but for a chocolate set of duty free they promised to relocate in a day. Let's say they changed the awl-to-soap. Only with a balcony. View of the fence and some vegetation. But the number is better. The furniture is old everywhere, the condo is noisy.
There is not enough space on the beach, the first two days lay on the sand, because. didn't know that all the sunbeds are busy almost from the night, and then people come only at 11-12 o'clock.
The big minus is the canteen with service and food. The food is just a nightmare. Yes, constantly eat meat, and chicken (so-called) and fish. But... in Egypt, chic fish, and they always cook it there in some special way, which I always liked very much. Here the fish is just steamed. Chicken - not chicken, more like pigeons, with a terrible smell, overdried. The meat is not chewy. Vegetables - such a set of vegetables is not seen in any hotel. Yesterday's tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce - all this is not squeezed out of the water. No normal salad dressings. The dining room has places for smokers and non-smokers. So, the service that everyone writes about here - meetings at the entrance and allocation of space - is a separate story. They always strive to drag you and seat you further away from the service and closer to the smoking room. I don't want to go there. I go, I choose the place where I myself want to sit. But then you have to catch the waiter to order him some of the drinks. This is a completely stupid seating service. I liked the places as soon as you enter, on the so-called "podium". But the Germans were there. And they already had drinks that they apparently prefer. Now that's discrimination.
And in the main canteen there is an "egg cooker", to which I tried to explain throughout the entire vacation that fried eggs can be fried with a mixture of vegetables, if you put it earlier in the pan. He told me all the time that it was impossible, as a result, he threw two spoons of yesterday's smelly cheese, or even worse - he did not finish the fried eggs. Him for this separate merci.
I gave this hotel no more than 3 stars because of the food and service in the canteens.
The representative of Aytur is a so-so Arab. He talks about excursions, like everyone else, I haven’t heard any other useful information from him. The people who went on excursions from him complained that they were cheating. For example, they did not see the expected number of fish on the bathyscaphe, they were told that today they were simply unlucky. And on a boat with a transparent bottom - a man in scuba diving just swam there and fed the fish so that at least someone could swim to the ilumiinatars. In general, they were not pleased with the variety either. She also walks along the beach in a red T-shirt like Angelina, she has a leather factory written on her back. She dissuades everyone from excursions from aitur (shopping) and offers her services. Those who traveled with her told stories - they are taken there, thrown back. The prices in the stores are fabulous, and if you haven't bought anything, then go home yourself. So be vigilant. In general, this woman is dishonorable (Angelina). Judging by the conversations, many deceived.
Now for the pros:
A big plus is the sea. For the first time I see that there are no ebb and flow. Sunset is sandy. You take 7 steps - already to the waist, five more - to the shoulders.
Well, and, of course, the main plus is Nasser (the main animator of the hotel)! Because of him, all the minuses are crossed out with a thick line. He is handsome! All of his animations are worth watching and all of his aqua aerobics are worth visiting. Brings out something new every time.
Yes, a few words about the Kolavia flight. There are no complaints about the crew, all flights were carried out on time. But....arriving home at night, there is a consequence, apparently, of eating on the plane, terrible contractions in the stomach, fever, aching bones, and all this lasts exactly a week. And both me and my husband, although we ate different dishes. Apparently, the Egyptian food and got on the plane. By the way, in Egypt for the 7th time, but the stomach suffered for the first time in this hotel twice.
Conclusion. You can go - as a budget option will go. Personally, I really liked Ali Baba at the time. Both the beach and the food there, however, two years ago, were at their best, and the animation with the territory is also cool. Now I don’t know about food, but the price there is an order of magnitude higher.
If you have any other questions - write, I will answer.
