И снова Египет And again Egypt

Finally we are here again! Fourth time in Egypt and fourth time in this hotel. This hotel attracted not only a good price / quality ratio, but, to a greater extent, the opportunity to observe marine life. Our many friends also love Egypt, so we have an idea of ​ ​ many hotels in Hurghada. According to our friends, nowhere is there such a large number of coral reefs near the hotel with such a variety of fish. This was confirmed by the rescuer during our walk on the yacht. Although the reefs have been severely destroyed over the past 3 years, and to the left of the lagoon (behind the hull) they were completely cut down.
About the hotel:
The hotel is slowly deteriorating (we go every year, so we can compare), it's getting dirtier or something, I can't find the right word. Although every time we come and notice that something is greased, tinted - in October 2011 the indoor restaurant was repaired (which is outside in the summer). In general, the rooms are not bad, the furniture is in decent condition. Although it's lucky. In 2009 we went with friends, they got a room with two single beds. When checking in, our friend threw the bag on the bed - it (the bed) broke, or rather the sidewall of the box that holds the mattress broke. To the arguments that the bed could be cracked or already broken, etc. , the manager said that you broke the bed, you should pay. As a result, the fine is $100. Therefore, when checking in, we now check not only plumbing, but also furniture. The same goes for cleaning. We met at the hotel with a family from Murmansk. We lived in the second building, they lived in the sixth. One day, we brag about what beautiful swans they made for us from towels (tip $ 2), and they tell us their cleaning story: they brought a bottle of gin with them, marked the check-in, put the rest in the refrigerator. They lie in the room after dinner (too hot for sunbathing), the cleaner comes, opens the mini-bar, looks at the bottle appraisingly and leaves. To requests for cleaning, he says that he will come tomorrow. The guys were confused, but they thought this was the norm, since it was the first time abroad. The same thing was repeated for two more days, until they complained to the manager. These stories confirm that you can relax in one place, at one time, but get completely different impressions.

But there are also pleasant moments: for a birthday, a birthday person is given a cake with a candle (they can congratulate you in a restaurant or bring it to your room), if you are not relaxing at the hotel for the first time, then they bring fruit and drinks to your room upon check-in (a trifle, but nice) . You can check in almost any room of your category (choose a building, floor, view) - the price of the issue is no more than $ 20.
We always take excursions from the beach ones - the quality is not worse, the price and attitude towards tourists are definitely better, only Cairo-Luxor was taken from the tour operator. We went fishing on a yacht (from the beach) - we were shown dolphins, and we remembered that we were promised to show them when we returned, to which our guide said that since he promised, then he would show, the yacht turned around and we swam to watch the dolphins in the "dolphin house" ". As soon as we saw the fins, we were told to whistle loudly, clap, etc. , and the team members played the drum and sang. This attracted dolphins, they swam right up to the yacht and circled in the water. That was great!
In general, I can talk and write a lot about Egypt (Hurghada). If you have any questions, I'm ready to answer.
