4* no more

Written: 13 november 2008
Travel time: 27 january — 6 february 2008
We stayed at the hotel for 10 days. I liked the hotel in general. Fresh, beautiful. The area is interesting. As for the food, yes it is monotonous, but we were not very disappointed, we really liked the local pastries. From alcohol they drank only beer and whiskey, the rest was not very good. The staff, apart from swearing, does not know anything in Russian. The room was cleaned every day and well. The first night in the room was terribly cold, the heating did not work, the second night they endured, on the third day they went to the reception desk and asked to change the room. They changed it for us without any problems, since in January the hotel was half empty. Disappointing that the pools were not heated. We went to the beach on foot along the way, we went to the Hilton hotel, there is a bank where we changed pounds, by the way, it's cheaper to shop in pounds. I liked the beach, clean, fine sand. We swam only a couple of times, the water is cold, January is not the best month for a trip to Egypt. But we traveled on excursions, were in Cairo, Luxor, were in the Titanic water park and rode a bathyscaphe. At the expense of Cairo, we do not advise those who do not dream of pyramids to go, an 8-hour round trip is very exhausting. But we advise everyone to go to Luxor. Excursions are better to buy at the hotel, albeit expensive, but reliable. In general, I liked the rest in general.
