So, the long-awaited vacation of 2010 made me remember the vacation of 2009. Last year my husband and I went together. I've read your reviews, nothing to say. But money was tight, so we decided to call in the budget five. And once again convinced that you need to see everything with your own eyes! And then some of the reviews smack of outright snobbery.
1. Settlement. The negative effect of the reviews began to haunt me from the very first steps on the land of Egypt. I saw dusty liquid greenery, a parking lot and windows of rooms. The thought immediately flashed: "now we will be accommodated with a view of the parking lot. " From the anticipation of the scandal, I internally cringed. The hall is cool and buzzes like a beehive - a crowd of tourists is populated. Everyone pushes and fills out paperwork. I convulsively pull my husband by the sleeve, ask him to put 10 bucks in his passport, he hisses that he does not have small money. It's our turn. I smile at all 32 at the chubby administrator and in my Russian-English I really ask for a room with a beautiful view and a large bed, they say, just married, wink, blush. The husband in normal English promises that gratitude will be eternal and boundless. They settled us in a small bungalow on the second floor. View of the pool, greenery, flowers under the balcony. The bellboy does not forget to remind about tea, and without unnecessary ceremonies he gives change from a hundred bucks.
2. Number. We liked the room. “Now I’ll find someone else’s hair in the sink, ” I shriveled at the memory of the reviews and headed to the bathroom. Cleanliness. . . Hotel little things are touching, which I like to take with me as a keepsake: a notebook with a pen, a folder for documents, letter paper, a shower cap, threads with needles, a cloth for shoes, bags for feminine hygiene products. Everything worked properly, the lights were on, the air conditioner froze like crazy. On the windows, my weakness is wooden blinds. The red-hot balcony and the coolness of the room. Cleaned daily, but we did not find floral and towel designs. Only a couple of flowers on the bedspread.

3. Zhrachka. Here in the canteen it was not possible to escape from negative emotions. But, unfortunately, all my anger fell on the unlucky compatriots. They stubbornly defended the principle of the queue and took everything on their plates: olives, buns, soups, three types of side dish, meat in pieces, crushed with a salad on top and then again stand in line for sweets, but also starting with buns. Madhouse. Of course, someone was offended that he was thrown out of the dining room. But for some reason, many do not understand that it is simply indecent to go to the table in a bathing suit or with an open hairy belly! The food is delicious. And sweet - yum-yum. And everyone undeservedly offended the dates - I would only eat them! Yummy! And the pasta was wonderful, and pancakes in the morning piping hot... That's what was really unpleasant - it was to sit down at the table after someone. The crumbs remained, and it was not always possible to steal cutlery from someone else's table.
4. Bars. Well, let's vilify the swill that is served there! I don’t know how anyone, but I was informed back in my homeland that only LOCAL is included in the all-inclusive system. We drank beer and rum-Cola. Their rum is pretty good. The rest tried - did not like. And who was diluted there? There is one simple way recognized by the rules of etiquette all over the world! The husband gave each bartender two dollars in the first two days. Two bartenders in the lobby, two by the pool. Total 8 dollars. After that, he approached them, smiling: "double, please. " The bartender smiled back "double, no problem". And double-rum-cola was at our disposal from morning to evening. So we passed almost a week tipsy.
5. Beach. Well, I don’t know how much of a snob you have to be to curse such a wonderful beach! Clean, ashtrays are cleaned every half an hour, cold beer, shower. The sand is small, soft, you would put your feet deeper into it, but hot, dog... And water is jelly. We sat without getting out of it for hours... The bottom is sandy, for my tender legs - a great pleasure. And crystal clear! There were never any greetings from sailing yachts! Lots of umbrellas and sunbeds. Busik goes to the hotel regularly, only he finishes very early - just in time for the most pleasant evening sun.
6. Pools. Once again I ran into people, and again they caused irritation. There are not enough sun loungers around the pool under umbrellas. The man went out, sunbathed in the morning and hid in his room for the whole day. And he left the towel on the sunbed, they say, the place is occupied. And he went out before dinner for half an hour to lie down. Well, where is justice? Why stake a place if you lie there for half an hour a day? The pools themselves are clean and do not smell of bleach.
7. Animation. I don't know, I didn't notice. It wasn't necessary.

Conclusion. Read reviews, but filter them. Go not to look into the cracks, but to rest. Smile at people and be polite - this is what Carnegie bequeathed. Do not forget about tips - they are not included in the all inclusive!
Have a good rest everyone.
