Hello!

A few days have passed since returning from this so-called 5-star hotel, and we are ready to tell you the whole truth : )

It was the first time in Egypt, the three of us traveled.

You know, we are generally not picky people, but when you pay for a 5-star hotel, you want the food, service and conditions to be of the same level. BUT Sunny Days El Palacio is nothing more than a 3 star guesthouse. Think 100 times before going there! ! !

So, we arrived...Let's go get a visa. Do you want to get it without a queue at the bank (where there is none anyway)? You pay $17 per person. And so, as they said in the agency, the visa costs $15.

Met as promised. They counted everyone and immediately set off to take us to hotels on a comfortable bus.

We arrived at the hotel. We filled out the questionnaires, gave them to the reception and we were immediately settled in the room. The hotel is close to the airport - 20-25 minutes drive. The center is also nearby.

It takes 10-12 minutes to drive to the main street (Sheraton), where souvenir shops, jewelry, restaurants, etc. are located, which is very convenient. We went by taxi and never paid more than one dollar. Naturally, they always asked 5 times more, but when they realized that nothing would come of it, they agreed.

Number.

Old furniture but neat and clean. Large bathroom but cramped tub. Neat and spacious balcony. They cleaned the room every day, changed the towels and without any "baksheesh". In the grand scheme of things, there is nothing to "fuck about".

Infrastructure.

The hall is huge, but the floors are always dirty, as are the windows. The staff, basically, only pretends to clean up, but in reality they just wave rags. Removed disgustingly. Bar tables in the lobby are always stained, crumbs, drops.

To take a comfortable place by the pool or by the lagoon, you need to take a seat at 7 o'clock in the morning, because later you will have to stand: ) There are few sunbeds.
There are always few people swimming in the pool, because there is a lot of bleach, which is poured in buckets before breakfast.

There is always something floating in the lagoon (glasses, pieces of paper, bags, cigarette butts), and it is rarely removed. There are fish there, but very few.

Beach. He is not. There are only descents into the sea. Ladders. Near the yachts, there is a descent, where there are a lot of fish and corals. We mostly swam there, but without a mask and special shoes there is nothing to do there. We took boiled eggs in the dining room in the morning and fed the fish - a great opportunity to see them : ) Such a beauty!

Food.

On the first day we arrived for dinner, and to be honest, we got confused in this "canteen", which by no means can be called a restaurant. The food was repeated every day, and on the third day we learned the menu. Everything is inconvenient.
Breakfast: eggs, rice porridge, white beans in tomato sauce, sausages, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes on the water, fried eggplant, pancakes, fried soy balls, brynza, salads (grated carrots, grated pumpkin, grated zucchini, salted vegetables, sliced ​ ​ bell peppers and green pepper pods), buns with sugar syrup (many forms, but the content is the same).


Lunch: Boiled vegetables (zucchini, cabbage, green peas - all together), fried rice, boiled rice, potatoes (boiled or baked - whenever you like), fish in tomato sauce (sea tongue or sardine), minced meat in tomato sauce or fish in flour sauce (every other day), soups (water with pasta of various forms, sometimes they put a little potato), boiled pasta with sauce, sometimes they gave either boiled beef or baked chicken, salads (the same as for breakfast), and pastries - mostly jelly and flans...and if you come to the opening, you can have time to take a "cake" (cake with custard).
Dinner: All the same as for lunch, including pastries. Sometimes they cook shawarma, but it's not tasty at all ...

All local fruits: green bananas, unripe persimmons, unripe dates, tasteless grapes, dry oranges, guava, melon. Two types of fruit in each meal.

In general, it's all terribly annoying. They don't know how to cook fish. The soups are disgusting, as if they were cooking for pigs. The food is just non-existent. You can eat a day, well, two ...and that's it!

Juices - concentrate diluted with water. Tea - lipton black. Coffee - Nescafe terribly watered down. If you respect yourself, you won't drink it.

There are always queues in the dining room, the dishes are dirty, the tables are not cleaned, there are not enough places. This is without any pretense, all the harsh truth!

We are dissatisfied, and very sorry that we spent the money on this boarding house, which quite affected the general mood.

Ahh! By the way! People, do not buy yacht trips from travel agencies!
They are much overpriced, and there are small firms at the hotel that offer the best program and the price is 15-20 dollars cheaper per person. Take your time, ask around those who are not the first day. Then save money and get more impressions : )
