The cleaner made a smart look and assured that after 15 minutes. everything will be repaired. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep on the way. I woke up two hours later with the confidence that no one touched the shower. Checked - it is.
I was about to go to reception.
In the hallway met the cleaner who was supposed to be 15 min. He was with a colleague and said again after 15 minutes. After that, I spoke only in "French" and from the heart. Helped! After 5 min. the room was full of the elite plumbers of the hotel. One with a new hose, the second with a third key for the kit. 1 min. and the shower works but more south down the drain!
Regarding nutrition - here being overweight is not a threat to you. If you miss pasta, old veal and our ripples, this is the hotel for you. You won't die of hunger, but with that money you can find better food.
Now about the sea. The hotel has a lagoon, in reality it is knee-deep here, but at low tide it is bone-deep. There is a sea, and even with a good reef and fauna, but you need to go to it for about 500m - the hotel is on the first line. Not everyone wants to run 0.5 km for something to eat or drink.
The hotel has a pretty good water park for both children and adults.
Separately, I want to thank our guide Amin Abdul Abdi from SUNINTERNATIONAL for spending the south of the rest. He, instead of quickly providing useful information and letting you enjoy your vacation, demanded half a day to listen to his attempts to sell trips with a double price.
The pools are absolutely dirty, the leaves are floating, there will soon be more sand at the bottom than on the beach. Towels that are given on the card on the beach are long overdue, torn, stained. But no, apparently the owner of the hotel does not think so. The kitchen is also a separate topic from the 7 days that we were there on the grill, there was not a single unburned dish, only coals. Everything is monotonous from day to day, the meat was always rubber, all 7 days drinks are poured into plastic cups, sorry, is this the level of a 5 * hotel ?? ? There is no sea at all, everyone splashes in this swamp, which is called the bay, there is no normal beach, it’s like it was a stretched 4 *, so it will remain, it doesn’t cost more than 13.000, it would be here a second time. Wouldn't come back for anything. . . Think well before you go to this hotel.
Meals standard. True, the fish and meat on the grill burned all the time. Grilled fish is prepared unpeeled and with intestines ((
The sea near the hotel is not important, especially at low tide, there is some kind of silt at the bottom. The far territory of the beach is not cleaned, rubbish is lying around.
Corals are dead, few fish. In windy weather, the sea is muddy.
To be honest, I confused the hotel due to the fact that the operators are cheating!
The real name is Samra bay.
Watch carefully.
Although 50% of a normal trip will come down for this money.
Complaints only on nutrition, rather modest and budget, there were melons, oranges, tangerines, dates, seafood from fruits. Bottled beer, white and red wine. We had an early flight and were seated right away. In general, we had a good rest.
Arrived at the hotel at 9 am. Settled quickly, although tourists arrived half a bus. Room with sea views, partly on the neighboring wasteland. The room is large, two rooms, two balconies. The room has furniture, floor, rug, everything is dirty (photo). Tulle is dirty with holes.
We put on the bracelet at 10 o'clock, but we didn't manage to have breakfast - the snack bar doesn't work, there is no snack in the beach bar ...We drank coffee and tea until lunch, had breakfast with those we brought with us ...
There is sand around the lagoon, the entrance to the water is good. In the sea - horror ...On the right side there is something like steps made of collapsed slabs (photo), the whole shore is covered with stones, dead corals, garbage, plastic bottles, fittings, boards ...Sunbeds and shelters from the sun - dirty from the wind and umbrellas - broken, with holes (photo) ...
Part of the territory was fenced off, construction work is underway there (a water park and something else are being built). To the left of the lagoon is the foundation for a building, you can't walk there. On the right side of the lagoon - the ruins of various rooms (photo).
The area and pools are as untidy and untidy as everything else. It is disgusting to sit on the beautiful sofas throughout the hotel (photo). The greens are taken care of.
Pools are not cleaned. One warm pool in slightly better condition.
Nutrition is very poor. If you come to the restaurant not in the first 30 minutes - you will have to eat what's left ...The choice of sweets is very small. From morning pancakes made rolls for dinner ...
Plus - it's waiters and bartenders. They tried to do everything in their power to improve the impression of the hotel.
Animators. As always, they asked to write a good review about the hotel or give them a phone number so that they could write a review ...
I promised to write a review, but honestly, so that other tourists know where to go when choosing Samra Bay.
Only on the last day of our "vacation" the situation changed for the better. Many people in costumes walked around the territory, looking at all the trays in the restaurant, in all the nooks and crannies. From that day on, an ice cream vending machine appeared at a beach bar and a snack bar was opened for the first time.
According to employees, the hotel should be put in order in May. Maybe then it will be comfortable to rest, but not now.
PS: a Christmas tree in the hall was "glued" from two small ones. This is very creative)))
The room was given with a view of some garbage dumps and a construction site. The glass on the window was cracked. We saw it only the next day, because. We got in late and it was dark. For this, we were ripped off another $ 20 upon check-out, and then because they threw a scandal on them (they wanted more). The conclusion is that they deliberately lodge in such a room in order to demand money later. Were in many hotels, and 4 and 5 *, there is something to compare. But such a quality of service and arrogance of the staff have not yet met. Would not recommend to anyone unless you want to ruin your holiday.
