So in May 2012, having no money for a more decent hotel, the family went back to Sunny. We hoped that something would improve, or at least we would not encounter surprises.
The hotel met us with an unfriendly reception: from 7 in the morning we were waiting for check-in hungry, not getting enough sleep, eagerly watching the happy vacationers who sailed past us either for breakfast or back! Since we were recognized there, we were among the first to be accommodated. For $ 10 they gave a good room, but not where it is convenient for us. OK. There was no hair dryer in the room, but I had my own. . .
This is to the question of some about the presence of a hair dryer in the room. Last year we had a hair dryer in the bathroom, standard for Egypt.

So, cheers, a coveted lunch. But almost nothing has changed here. True, there were noticeably more people, respectively, the queues for food increased and there were more half-naked people in the restaurant! Ugh! Some of them expressed their dissatisfaction with all this aloud, and for some reason they chose us for this. . .
Instead of glass glasses, drinks were poured into polystyrene glasses (this is harmful), there were very few fruits, pancakes and "jams" were not edible as usual! Sometimes the milk was sour. Salads were cut in front of you and only in strict proportions convenient for the “cook”, and in order not to put a lot on and do it slowly, there was a soup spoon in the bowl !! ! (because the “cook” cut them for the whole line at the appropriate speed). That’s not all: if you didn’t come to the opening of the restaurant, then run - look for cutlery, napkins and a set of salt + pepper, occupy the table with something, then welcome to the queue, a couple more laps and here: a thin and pale tourist is eating a cold lunch or dinner to the hum of a Soviet canteen with the characteristic sounds of appliances falling to the floor and breaking ceramic plates! There are fewer desserts and themed dinners.
Don't cry, that's not all. Mosquitoes do not let me sleep in the room all night - animals bite so that terrible sores appear on my delicate body... and since the sockets in this room practically do not work, it is not possible to turn on anything repellent! It is trite to write about dilapidated furniture, we were ready for this. The cleaning was disgusting, until you poke your finger or wipe it yourself - dust and dirt will lie. We took rags and antiseptic with us and wiped what we needed ourselves. Regularly only change linen, towels and trash can.
And finally, the gentle, blue, warm sea - why did we go there! Well, here's the trouble: our polite compatriots smoke like chimneys, cigarette butts immediately land on the beach past trash cans and ashtrays, drink glasses pretend that they are part of the nature of Hurghada and the sea. Well, good luck, we found a place not convenient for those who cannot live without a bar and tobacco. And even though the beds are broken and the mattresses are torn, covered with towels and it seems like you can lie. Hello sea!

The first swim terrified us: there was practically nothing left of the life that was last year. There wasn’t much of it anyway, but here is a gray desert with sharp coral stubs. There aren't even many hedgehogs left. Some fish are still swimming, rare anemones, crabs come across... Closer to the cliff, there are a little more living creatures, but also already "islands". Looks like there's not much to see this year! Sadly.
When the sea has no owner, what can be expected for those who want to earn...
On the day of departure, the flight was postponed 5-6 hours earlier. We sincerely believed that this would not happen. And they didn’t even look at the departure stand. On accidentally notified the baggage delivery service. Therefore, the fees were over in 10 minutes! Conclusion: do not relax, the departure can happen 12 hours earlier and even without you!
