We decided to go to Egypt. Since we were traveling with our 2-year-old grandson, we carefully chose the hotel. We chose the Grand Hotel. I hasten to say that they did not regret it. We were in Egypt 9 times.
Have read the reviews. We found out that the worst thing is that they demand a fee for a normal settlement. We decided to eat. Rested from 15 to 30 May.
Arrived normally, crowds of people at the airport. For + 5-10 dollars to the visa, local Arabs offer a VIP passage, but since we were 4 adults, we stood in several queues and while one passes it’s time to run to the second, in short, we managed in 30 minutes. I leave the building with a suitcase - customs says - a large suitcase - let's look. I told him - there is food for the baby, no, come on. He cut the film on the suitcase, opened it, rummaged around, saw baby food (we took EVERYTHING with us) and said, let's baksheesh! I tell him why? And for taking the film off the suitcase! Well, they laughed, sent him and went to the bus. The hotel was brought quickly. We filled out the cards, received the keys to the rooms, wrote down the numbers on the suitcases - (we were told that the rooms overlook the garden and pool) and went to look. It turned out that the building is far away, but the area is very beautiful and green to walk - a pleasure, but the view... construction and Arabs looking through the windows and garbage, and even on the 3rd floor, which is hard with a child - there are no elevators.
My daughter and my husband went to change the room, and my son-in-law and I stayed to wait for the porter to tell us where to go to the new room and feed and change the child. They fed me, changed clothes, mine came - they say for $ 10 (they demanded at the reception! ) They gave other rooms. We went there, and the porter was standing near the reception and waiting. Those. they have such a practice - the Slavs are settled on a construction site in order to take money for the settlement. They don't joke with the Germans like that - if there is the slightest violation of the rights of the Germans, they write a complaint and adju. And the "Russians" spoiled. Lots of rooms available, not many people. Right after the holidays. Numbers from 23-25 people have increased a lot especially with children. Mostly Germans. The hotel management is German, there is no boorish attitude towards guests.
From the bad (if you really find fault): There is no elevator, even a cargo one, they dragged their suitcases themselves. In the rooms, the service is unimportant - they repaired the safe for 4 days, sometimes you have to go yourself for shampoo, towels, napkins, they give you immediately and apologize. The rooms are cleaned unimportantly and they come to clean during rest hours, when we slept with the child, so as not to clean. Mosquitoes are poisoned, but there are a lot of them - small children are bitten, and there are a lot of them in the rooms - we took fumigators. At sea, boats smell of gasoline and a film on the water in the evening, but if the tide is high, if the tide is low, this is not. All! nothing more bad!
Everything else is just good! If something is bad - Tell the guide - they will do it.
The staff at the hotel is not impudent, they behave culturally - they flirt with Russian aunts who are looking for entertainment, they do not allow themselves anything like that with the rest. The beach is huge, rooms on umbrellas - you won't get lost. Plenty of umbrellas and sunbeds no need to run early in the morning. We came at 9-9.30 and took good seats. Beach towels in the room, ie. at 17 o’clock you don’t have to take it and no one kicks you out of the beach – you lie down as long as you want. The sea is normal, clean, the entrance is sandy, sloping, the fish swim simple, they can be fed with bread, but they often bite. In the first week, the water was cool 22-23, the second week brought warming up to 24-25 degrees. There are 2 slides on the beach - EVERYONE rides! , 2 large swimming pools. There is a fish restaurant, but a bit pricey. The hotel has free internet and billiards. You can pay on the territory of the hotel by bank transfer, which is convenient - you don’t have to carry money with you - I signed the check, took a copy. Music does not interfere on the beach, the animation is good and not intrusive. Italians. They work very well for both children and adults. They hold a children's disco, and then the singers sing for adults. Or a show. There is a diving school. The territory is large and green and beautiful. There are playgrounds and a games room. For children, free drinks on the beach and free feeding at lunch are very decent! Near the hotel there are shops with water, beer, spirits, duty free, many cafes, an expensive pharmacy - there are cheaper ones nearby.
The restaurant is a separate story. My family is very sensitive to food and this is one of the most decisive factors for us. RESTAURANTS 2. Chefs – Europeans, One European –. Second east. Breakfasts are the same - in both restaurants - potatoes, pasta, cutlets or meat or bacon - variety, scrambled eggs, eggs, yogurt pancakes and much more, and for dinner different goodies like lamb on a spit, baked lambs, turkeys, chickens, beef, rice, pasta, 2 types of soups, several times there was delicious red fish, dor blue cheese almost every day, cold snacks - in general, this variety affects the figure, cold salads - you can’t count everything. Fruits - apples, peaches, apricots, watermelons, melons, sweet varieties 20 + oriental sweets. In general, the restaurant can be described half a day. The most important thing is that you can bring water and other drinks to the hotel, but not brazenly, but hidden in your purse, no one climbs into bags, and you can take out fruit and other food from the restaurant, but also not insolently, but putting it in an opaque bag . Many Germans picked up cheese cutlets and buns for breakfast and dined on the beach.
In the first week of our vacation, there were few people and the restaurant was free, for 2 weeks a lot of people with children and old people (from 55 to 85 years old) came and the youth came to the cellar. And we had to stand in line for a bit - 10 minutes, but no more!
Across the road is the Grand Resort Hotel - 5 stars. The territory is very beautiful - you can walk freely and eat there too, but for money. The hotel is all inclusive. Beautiful fountains, cafes, etc.
Since we were with a child, we only went fishing. With Teztour for 40 dollars according to the program, they caught and swam fish, and then they decided to rent a boat themselves and go fishing - which they regretted, it was very sick, and they didn’t catch almost any fish, but they paid 220 dollars a day, but they were alone on the boat.
A lot more could be written, but one thing I can say is that the hotel is good, you can go with small children and with big and young and not so. If you are interested in anything else - write - I will answer. I'm picky, but I love this! And with people - with whom I would not talk - everyone really liked the hotel!
