I'll start in order. Since I choose hotels here, I will try to describe my impressions in more detail in the first half of the review.
In Egypt for the first time, and indeed abroad for the first time.
Everyone said, and I myself was so sure that nothing could upset us (me, husband and 3-year-old child).

I won’t talk about the specifics of the country, so for those who are traveling for the first time, be prepared for the fact that this is a completely different world, with its own + and -. be careful and attentive and correct. So. We arrived late at 10:30 p. m. , got to the hotel by 12:00 p. m. At the reception, no one was particularly kind to us. For a small voluntary fee, they allocated a room away from the disco. Nobody brought us our suitcases. they waved their hand somewhere and we wandered off to look for a number (at the same time, we gave $ but this did not help either). Found in principle without problems. The room is normal, everything worked, the view of the lagoon is beautiful.
True, when they brought us a crib for a child (after our reminder), we froze . . it's just some kind of cot, just awful. so she stood in a folded form. slept on shifted beds, I - "in the hole. " But they made peace with that. We managed to go to the "dining room" in another way. but there wasn't much food there. More specifically, normal food. Pts scared that somehow dirty. And I thought that we would definitely either get poisoned or something like that. But surprisingly, nothing like this happened to us during the rest. Periodically drank sorbex for prevention. In general, we attributed everything to fatigue. But really, I read a review here that "I'm sitting on the balcony of this hotel and crying. " So my husband and I had the same situation. We agreed to go to bed and decided that everything would be fine in the morning : ) In principle, for 3 days we got used to the huge queues for food on the street. that I had to look for a free place,
that you need to rush with plates over a rather rather large area in order to get delicious food (there were very few of them). in the main crowd of all sorts. True, we liked the kebab and a variety of deliciously cooked eggplants. Were shocked by the pizza - the dough. tomato and cheese. And that's it. That's all the pizza. But she seemed to be nothing. Coffee machines did not work at the bars from time to time (especially on the beach). And cappuccino turned out to be a panacea for me, oddly enough at 40 degrees. heat. Still not bad gin and tonic (but the tonic somehow quickly ended and sprite was poured). Rum and cola is okay and the beer is not bad. The child has nothing to drink. Therefore, he was lucky all the rest and he defended the right to drink powdered juice, cola. sprite and all sorts of different filth that no one allowed at home in life. I was mega satisfied : ) : ) : ) nothing sprinkled us. so it's kind of like that. Removed intermittently. The first time everything was licked. We came on another day - they didn’t clean it.
left $ - removed. And so all the time. But we are not picky and every day we do not need to change the bed and you can clean it in principle every other day. Therefore, we left 5 times for $ and in general we had almost all the time clean. The hotel staff is kinda mean. except for the "paid" Arabs. who needed to sell their services. God, they kept pestering me every 5 minutes with their massages, tattoos, or fish. And they got used to it, just learned how to respond and respond to everything correctly : ). And yes, I forgot. Periodically, the lights could go out throughout the hotel. but not for long. max was that 10 minutes was gone. and so within 3 minutes. But also not very nice. There is not enough seating in the restaurant. forks. knives, cups, plates, in principle, lacked. they fussed there washing them and informing them. The fact that the cup could be beaten did not bother us. Gyyy, by the way, I also saw a cockroach, crawling on the bar: ) near the coffee machine But think about it . .

There are a lot of people in the pool as well. But we came to the sea and therefore spent all the time there. This is a separate topic, because only positive emotions come here. The sea is incomparable. Especially for those who do not know how / do not like to swim and children. finely. water is warm and clean. periodically some fish swim and crabs. My child was delighted. although the sea was not seen for the first time. But he liked the red very much as well as us. there were no particular problems with sunbeds, and when they were for $ everything was decided : ). there are not many people on the beach. quiet, everything is somehow far from each other -BEAUTY. The very long coastline belonging to the hotel is of course super. there are only 10 points. but as for not - this is the only plus of this hotel. from the lagoon, on which I made bets of pleasure - zero. the water is not clear. and after the story that a huge stingray lives there and he slashed someone 6 years ago, I generally got sick... so I didn’t believe in all the bad reviews and thought,
that it's just people so picky accustomed to something supernatural. but really, it's all true. maybe somewhere less somewhere more. but true. By the way, the staff can get nasty easily. I personally heard how a woman standing in line in front of me asked to take this piece, and the Arab raised his tone and did not put it, although the request was absolutely sane. and I got rude at the bar when I asked to add a little rum to the cola, because I wanted a romcola and not a rum-flavored cola. Do not think that I am an alcoholic, but in the evening I could drink a glass : ) in general, the territory is huge. and the feeling of a closed space is not created. about her greenness - so it's not true. something naked. a couple of palm trees and bushes along the buildings. and on the beach. Well, it's just by the way I didn't care : ) as I have a lot of impressions. and in general there was an ambiguous impression about this hotel and about the country. I liked it more though. Yes.
I will say a few words about the weather. I was very worried, they scared me that where with the child in August I went crazy. BUT!! ! tested on personal experience. In general, everything is excellent. Feelings of unreal heat did not add up A constant breeze near the water. the ability to sit in the water as long as you want. everything is super. We left our room at 8 and came back at 6. small and husband slept even on the beach. under an umbrella. all the time at sea. slippers bought there for the sea. don't take it with you. are there ok. $ 5 right near the beach you can buy in a shop. went on a super utopia tour - we liked it. although a bit tiring for a small child. but even he rode on a banana and a tablet, caught fish and swam in the open sea with us)))) in general, we liked it as a whole, but I probably won’t recommend this hotel to my friends and acquaintances. although I have not been to others, but if it is even worse, then everything is the end of the world : ) : ). The second time until we go to Egypt. we will study other countries! Have a nice holiday everyone.
Don't worry if you get used to everything! ! And thinking. that this is not the worst option!
