Hi all)

From June 16 to June 26, my family and I rested in the wonderful Grand Plaza Resort 4 * hotel. So. I want to talk in detail about the pros and cons of the hotel.

What is Egypt?

These are large-scale temples, statues of the tomb and other structures. of course, sometimes all this beauty is lost behind the dirt and poverty of the locals. Egypt is sand dunes and 5 star hotels nearby. They are deeply pleasant and friendly people (with the exception of some arrogant salesmen and bartenders).

excursions

we went on 3 excursions: Paradise Island + coral reefs, fishing + reefs + island, Luxor. Everyone liked it! I was especially struck by the Karnak temple complex in Luxor, and awesome colorful fish on corals near Paradise Island. Fishing (as it turned out later) is a complete scam. Not in terms of fish (we just caught it), but in terms of poaching. During the summer months, fishing is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, we did not give all the caught prey to the cook for cooking, as promised, but gave it to the guide. At the place of 3 o'clock we fished for an hour at the most due to the already mentioned ban on fishing. If you go to Luxor (I highly recommend) - be sure to take long sleeves and trousers. Stock up on water for all excursions! ! !

hotel area

big enough, clean with beautiful pools of different depths. two restaurants (they constantly lacked seats). You don't have to worry about mosquitoes at all. Stock up on Reptor and they won't bother you.
The room was bright and comfortable overlooking the pool. All drinks in the minibar are free. In the room: hairdryer, shower, two beds and a sofa, a small table with a kettle and coffee-tea. A slanting picture and a large mirror hung on the wall. there is a TV with 2 Russian channels.

food

fed us 3 times a day (not counting the late dinner and drinks in bars around the clock). The food was not varied.
There were several types of side dishes (potatoes, vegetables, rice and pasta with additives). There was no tension with meat (cutlets, steaks, sausages, chicken ... ), they gave fish. Drinks are worse. Or yuppie or cola with fanta. fruits were always there. I especially liked the pastries, they just fall away) Ice cream every day (chocolate is best)

Leisure

I advise you not to go out to the streets with shops without special need. (Arab sellers are terribly prestavuchy and arrogant) if you need to make purchases or buy souvenirs, go to Abu Ashar (taxi from the hotel $ 3) and the prices are cheaper there and the service is better.

I wish you all a pleasant stay and more vivid impressions!
