So, I'll tell you about the hotel / maybe it will help someone make a choice /. The hotel was bought by the ANEX travel agency, and as they explained to me, only through them you can get here / for Russia /. Now about ANEKS, I flew abroad several times, but fortunately I did not encounter this operator, but then I got there. The first thing that "pleased!!! " a day before the flight they called and warned that I was not flying from Krasnodar / and I specifically chose to fly from my city! /, but from Rostov and not 16.10, but 17.10! Healthy, right? As compensation, they promised to return the money upon arrival for 1 day / but the fact that the tour from Rostov is cheaper was left without comment. / Well, okay, they flew normally - Egypt, Hurghada !! ! The time differs from Moscow by -2 hours, they do not switch to winter / summer time. At the airport in the hall you will see the stands of your tour operators and huge queues of Russian tourists, so I give advice, DO NOT STAND IN THE QUEUE! To the left of the entrance to the hall you will see three booths of Egyptian banks that sell visas for $15. as it costs, and operators sell for $ 17 / a divorce of tourists has begun, get used to everything there and do it! / Next, fill out a tourist card and in front of the hall to the booths of border guards, they quickly stamp passports and exit to get luggage. Yes, even advice, usually Arabs stand near the toilet and take money for entry, feel free to send them behind immediately, toilets are free and you can smoke. We leave the airport with luggage - here is the "native" representative of the ANEX-tour, we come up and call the names, and he is the number of your bus, which will take you to the "happiness" hotel. I put my wife on bus number 17, I stand smoking and I think this is an operator who needs to be constantly checked, I come up again, I call my last name, she says bus number 2 !! ! I'm shocked, so 17 or 2? I threw things on another bus, I feel that everything is just beginning. It’s not long to go, as it ended on the avenue with shops, on the left I look at Steigenbergen, beautiful !! ! but this is 5 *, and ours on the right is more modest. Time 23-00 / local /, thanks Anex for the "early" arrival, so another day passed - ACCOMMODATION! We arrived at the hotel 9 people, 6 had a "standard" room, that is, "AIDA" / for Russians and without balconies / Only rooms "suite" in "VERDI" give / for Europeans with balconies to the pool /. The Arab at the reception hardly understands Russian, but the accompanying bus guide explained that there are no “standard” rooms available, they will settle in “VERDI” for a day, and tomorrow you will be moved to paid rooms. I already know how they relocate, I yelled at the guide / he immediately dumped /, the Arab on the counter forgot the Russian at all ! ! Okay, I think, I’ll arrange for them in the morning. We had time to dine, but more about food later. I go to the room, the balcony, of course, to the road, but everything else is fine! In the morning I go to solve the issue with the number, they say, of course, be patient for another day, and tomorrow we will definitely give you your number. I'm already on edge, I say that the room in "VERDI" suits me, just change it to a room overlooking the pool and a double bed, otherwise it doesn't suit me to sit on a suitcase for two days! $!!! Gave a great room. Now about the TERRITORY; large, a lot of greenery, the pool is small, Europeans are constantly lying near it, you can only find a place in the morning. Beach towels are given by the pool, with them you go to the sea. SEA: exit the hotel, cross the road, the gate is directly closed, and the door is open on the side and along the path until it stops / 400m. /to the beach. You can drive a typewriter, but it drives by the hour, and it was a pleasure for us to take a walk. There are a lot of sunbeds, I was already on the beach at 7-30, there were no problems, I chose the first ones by the sea, but those who came by 10 were gone, and this despite the fact that the hotel was not fully populated! NO CORALS, in general NO! There is sand in the sea, the entrance is normal, 5 meters and depth, and after 10 meters the depth is 1 meter. There are a lot of algae, and in them there are fish, 10 species you will see for sure / you saw a squid, a water snake, etc. / A mask, it’s easier to buy a tube from them, it’s cheaper. / leaving the hotel turn right, 20 meters and shops, from 35 to 75 pounds offer, haggle min. at 50%, I bought water from them, don’t buy anything else, it’s cheaper in the city !!! ! / They had fun with a mask in the sea, even the wife tried it for the first time, beauty, but there are not enough corals. I GIVE ADVICE, in a restaurant you collect buns in a bag / I took out 8-10 /, put it in a bag and swim closer to the buoys, so that the buns do not get wet. Crumble bread under water and LOVE it! I fed and crumbled it from my hands under water, my wife says that in 9 days the fish already recognized me by swimming trunks. Near the rental of all water attractions / from banana to diving /. Bar from 10-00 on the beach, drinks, alcohol, tea, ice cream from 12-00. There is no animation on the beach, more precisely the standard exercise, volleyball, aqua gymnastics. ALCOHOL; everyone knows the quality is bad, but ours managed to get drunk too! it’s a shame, of course, but they don’t choose their homeland! ADVICE; a day after arrival, you can visit duty-free, I went, it’s full of alcohol! , cheaper than in the avenue. MONEY; I didn’t understand the exchanger at the hotel, and I didn’t change dollars, but in vain! For any purchases, it is more profitable to pay in pounds! ESCURSIONS; they buy everything from ANEKS, prices differ during the season, so I will not list them, but I will advise LUXOR! I paid $ 80 per person, I did not regret it, although I have been there already. Beauty of course, but heavy excursions, not for small children and the elderly, drive you will not regret it. The rest is up to you. There are a lot of street travel agencies, but somehow I didn’t dare, although the prices are an order of magnitude lower. ADVICE; through the Internet you can find Russian travel agencies, take their phone and call them from the hotel, trips are cheaper! over him, otherwise he will fall. He signed us up for an a la carte restaurant / you can visit it for FREE once, fish and seafood / products /, but I forgot to warn that the restaurant / more precisely, a bar on the sea / was closed and moved to "AIDA", we forgot, we are at 19-30 they came to the sea, but the little bar does not work, but the whole ANEX works like that. SHOPPING; I advise everyone to BUY ONLY IN THE CITY! $ 2 by taxi, EVERYTHING IS CHEAPER IN THE CITY! I liked the papyrus in the hotel, 1m. by 0.70 cm. -$70 says dropped to $50! In the same city with $ 30 started bargaining. At the SEREBRO hotel, you can't add up the prices. TIP: Walk along the avenue into the city, on the side of the hotel, cross the intersection after 250-300 meters, then shops and the first cafe will begin, immediately behind the cafe is the FIRST jewelry store. The hostess is French, the goods are Italian / he showed the owner of the jewelry at the hotel when he told me about the quality of his goods, you should have seen his face! rubbed about Italy /. Okay, I'll wrap it up, so I wrote a lot here. I will be glad if it helps someone. If you have anything to ask, you can write to kusakov74@mail. ru. I will answer. CONCLUSION; THE HOTEL IS A SOLID FOUR!! ! but not for those who like to light up or see corals. The food is normal, but the same type, a lot of cakes, few salads, there is meat - DO NOT WAKE HUNGRY, BUT WITHOUT FANATISM! Enjoy your stay in Steigenbergen OR WHEREVER! REST DO NOT WORK. OLEG.
