We stayed in Sinbad in July. This hotel was recommended to us as a "bomb" in a travel agency. I must say right away that we are not picky and not very sophisticated, we rested in weak hotels, and in good and very good ones, but then we were seduced by excellent reviews about the hotel on the Internet. And in vain. At first I did not understand that people who praised it so much found good in this hotel. Then, looking at the contingent of vacationers, I realized. This hotel is not even bad for those who are on vacation for the first time, or for those who have previously rested in poor triples or quadruples of the level of triples. People who have vacationed in quality hotels are absolutely not allowed in Sinbad. The hotel will not please. Now in order.
Settlement. In advance, two months before our arrival at the hotel, I contacted Marina, guest relation. She asked to book two good rooms nearby, because. we were traveling together. We were promised that our rooms would be good. To call the impression from what we saw depressing numbers - to say nothing. Rooms at the very end of the corridor, the most distant. Under the windows of the city cafe, where until three o'clock in the morning Arab national music and the constant buzz of children's electric machines - it is impossible to fall asleep with an open window. The rooms have a nauseating musty smell. A tiny 50 by 50 shower stall with a broken door, I have never seen a shower of this size anywhere. The next day I turned to Marina, who said that all the standards are the same, however, the door was repaired on the same day. She said that you can see the availability of other rooms, but they are unlikely to be nearby, but for us it was important.
Staff. Again, those who write that this hotel has friendly staff have not seen anything better. The staff at this hotel just don't care. In Sharm El Sheikh at the airport, the staff is friendlier). Our love for Egypt started when we first stayed at the Jaz Fanara in Sharm. By the way, this is also a four. Here the staff was friendly, everyone - cleaners, cooks, waiters, bartenders, managers greeted everyone and always smiled, constantly asked everyone how they were doing, the guest-relationship went around all the tables every day at dinner and asked every sleeping person if there were any requests, wishes or claims (which were satisfied instantly). In Sidbad, the only person who smiled and asked if everything was OK was our room cleaner. There are no waiters in the bars or in the main restaurant. There are only people who don’t know a word of Russian, so there’s no one to ask anything from, collecting dirty dishes from tables, constantly pushing chairs with their wheelbarrows
Restaurants and food. The hotel is 100% occupied. 90 percent of vacationers are sooooo and not very rich Europeans and Arabs with the appropriate manners and culture, or rather, with their absence. In the main restaurant, there is constant yelling, noise, din, hustle, all tables are occupied, dirt and chaos. We were saved in the evenings by a la carte restaurants, only there were always waiters and tablecloths. But waiters are either underpaid at this hotel or poorly trained. People are still sitting eating, and they are already cleaning the tablecloths from the empty tables)). . For breakfast and lunch, I had to go to a common restaurant and a restaurant on the territory of the water park. There was food, it was enough, but there is no variety. If chicken, then always breaded. For a side dish for 10 days, there was never mashed potatoes, I’m already silent about the lack of seafood (only fish from seafood). The names of the dishes are only in English, not a word in Russian.
Entertainment. The animation was. We tried. The hotel has a very large room where evening shows take place. The show is a kind of amateur performance, performances prepared by the animators of this hotel. There is no live music. There are no discos. In this room, with their sound and lighting effects, it would be possible to arrange really noisy, fun and high-quality discos. But alas. Animators invite you to visiting discos for $10 per person. And one more time they took us to a disco in a tiny Regina club located in Sinbad Beach - cocktails are free only for girls).
Eviction. You must hand over the key and suitcase at the reception no later than 12 noon, as everywhere else. But we were told that the hotel can be used until the very departure and promised that if the departure is in the evening, then for 20-30 minutes they will give the key to a free room, where you can wash, change and clean up after the beach. As a result, when we arrived at the reception at 16.00, wet, in swimsuits, we were told that we would have a room only in an hour. After Marina's intervention, a free room miraculously appeared. And, by the way, also a standard, but the shower room is large and there is no smell of dampness. So not all standards in this hotel are the same! ! Once again "thank you" for pre-booked "good" rooms)).
Of the good things about this hotel is the sea and the beach, which is located across the road, on the territory of Sindbad Beach. The sea is beautiful, there are always enough free sunbeds on the beach. Of the minuses - go to the beach, there is no other way, you have to go through the rows of merchants whose shops are located on the territory of the hotel. Thus, from their shouts and intrusive invitations you get tired the very next day.
Let me summarize. If you stayed in a cheap hotel last year or earlier, then you will like Sinbad. Thanks for the comparisons. With children in this hotel is very good, because. there are water slides. The water park is not the best, but ok. If you rested in quality hotels, with live music, with waiters, with really friendly and trained staff, then definitely not a foot in Sinbad! A huge number of people, a lot of Arabs, their very noisy children. And you should not be shy and demand a replacement of numbers if something does not suit you. You won’t be able to book a good room in advance), you still get the worst one. As for us, we rested, sunbathed, we had fun, but not thanks to the hotel, we will never return to this hotel and will not recommend it to anyone.
And yet, it seems not a hotel, but representatives of Anex Tour. On the plane, we did not have enough migration cards. We thought it doesn't matter, we'll fill it at the airport. Having approached the window at the airport, where everyone was standing with cards already filled in advance, we asked them to give us cards to fill out. We were told that there were no cards, cards can be taken from representatives of the travel agency, standing on the sidelines a little further away. So they did. There, representatives of the Anex tour said that first you need to pay $ 27 for a visa, and then they will give us cards. To our indignation, we were told that for a long time a visa costs $ 27, not 25))) and it doesn’t matter that there, nearby, in the windows they pay $ 25)) there are no cards there! )))
