The trip was spontaneous, we were going on vacation in October, but I had to urgently look for options a week before the trip, everything was normal already taken apart, so we chose from what was left, there are almost no reviews about this hotel, everything is almost 2010, so I decided to write my own impressions can help someone make the right choice for themselves. A separate moment is Anex, it’s not nice when you are “cheated in a brazen way”, we often travel abroad, but with this tour operator for the first time and I hope for the last time, I have never seen such a brazen knocking out of money from tourists - for all a visa in Egypt is 15 dollars. , and the representatives of Anex sell it for $ 17, without this they don’t issue an emigration card, they didn’t give change to people either - there are no small “types”, the prices for excursions are also more expensive than those of TezTour, the guide Ibrahim is the representative of Anex at the hotel in the evening when telling about the hotel he began to run into everyone to go on excursions, he said: "Did you come here only to eat, drink and lie on the beach... ? " (in short, culture and concern for tourists). Now about the hotel. The pros are the sea, out of 3 beaches, -2 work, part of the hotel is closed, there is a repair, on the repaired area there are children's slides. One beach is shallow with corals, the second is good for swimming, but you need slippers, the territory is green and well-groomed, I read about bad animation, but I don’t agree, there were good guys, they organized gymnastics, aqua aerobics, water polo, table tennis, volleyball, bochu, football and shows in the evenings. There are many more minuses: 1-the hotel is "behind the scenes" divided into the French and everyone else. . . They have their own dining room, their own animation, their own buildings, even their bracelets, their own pool, however, unlike the dining room, everyone can go to the pool. 2-food is also terrible, though drinks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails flowed like water, fish was at lunchtime and in the evening for all 10 days in the form of the same dish, we practically didn’t see fruit, if today we put chopped apples and melon, then the next day they were also served in syrup, seafood didn’t run nearby, the meat was in the form of fried chicken pieces for lunch and in the evening and they cut something like boiled pork in the evening - these dishes did not change and it was always the same. . . The animators said that the food was better in winter, the hotel has now changed the chef. When we left for Luxor, we were given breakfast with us - it consisted of a mini-apple, you can’t find a smaller size and a small bun, in the middle with a quarter of sausage, but for this day it was paid in full. . . on the bus to Luxor, tourists from other hotels came in with boxes of food (fruits, butter, pastries, etc. ) When checking out at 12 o'clock, we cut off our bracelets and that's it. . . then turn around as you like - don’t eat, don’t drink for free - you can’t, they grabbed us by the hands and shouted everything for money, and if people fly away late at night, then. . . In short, the hotel cares a lot about its tourists and reputation. 3-this hotel accepts massively Egyptians from Cairo, they come in huge crowds, behave like a camp, the children are wild, they grab all the food in the dining room with their hands, the girls grabbed spoons and played with them like dolls, they go into special rooms. clothes closed in the sea and sit for hours at a depth of knee-deep, so to go in for a swim you have to bypass them, they always behave as if they are alone in the hotel - at the show - they will take a chair and sit in front of you, even if there is no place provided, but they don't care at all. . . 4-number we got for 10 dollars. in the passport at the reception - family in the 4th building, large in size - two double beds and a sofa, with a balcony and a sea view, the air conditioner and the safe are old, but everything worked, as they wrote in the reviews, the repair was a long time ago, there is paint, there tiles, but we didn’t really bother with this, we only got into the room to wash, change and sleep, there was no hair dryer, we took it with us, like shampoo. 5-a few more words for dinner I can’t help but write - these are queues to enter the dining room, they waited 30-60 minutes to enter or came half an hour before dinner, this was not the case in the morning and afternoon, and in the evening everyone gathered. . . These are the impressions of the hotel, we rested before this hotel in 4 * and 5 * and always treated 3 * with caution, but after what I saw, I was finally convinced that we would no longer go to the top three in Egypt. Who can recommend this hotel?? ? -Probably to those who have never been abroad and have not seen anything better, but only the Iron Port and those who have a limited budget. . . I would be glad if my review will help someone make their choice!
