Отдых на любителя Recreation for an amateur

Two families flew 2 adults. and 4 children, Azur from Aneks tour. This is my 10th visit to Egypt and holidays in different hotels and I was in this hotel 2 times, though a long time ago. Arrival and departure on schedule, no complaints. Check-in at the hotel: morning 8.15. The guide just took us out of the bus, showed us the hotel lobby and drove on. At the reception they said that the rooms would be given before 14.00, at 10.00. It was nice to hear, but after asking to drink water for the children from the road (there were 4 of us from 8 to 12 years old), we were told that our allinc would work from lunch. You can buy water. This is cruel for Africa!!!!! ! Fortunately, knowing the area, they ran away and bought water. After the question: where to have breakfast, we are told by KFS or McDonald's in the city. What if it was our first time? What to do?? ? Then they offered to have breakfast in the hotel canteen with an adult for $ 2 and children for free. The time was already around 10.00 am The canteen was closing, but they let us in. All the rubbish that the visitors left behind (95% Egyptians, 5% - Belarusians, Ukrainians, Balts) was no longer cleaned on the tables. And in such mud we are offered to feed the children for $4. There are no clean plates, utensils or tables. The malnutrition that was left after the breakfast of the Egyptians. Having chosen rolls, there was also something at least with drinks in the canteen, tk. no bracelets yet. They came out not salty slurping. We returned to the reception and there we accidentally found our guide, with whom an info-meeting was scheduled for the next day!!!! . We had one desire to run away from this place. He tried to help us change the hotel, but since July and August is the holiday season for the Egyptians, many hotels are also occupied by the local population. And we have 11 days. And the service has dropped a lot, even in good hotels. We went to look at the numbers. We were offered standards, although we paid for two-room apartments with 4-bed accommodation in the ticket. After running around the hotel, we were tired, our nerves were already on edge. Then they made excuses that they did not see in the voucher that we did not have a standard, but an apartment. Finally, we found two apartments next to each other, although one had to be cleaned and the drains cleared, by the evening everything was done. The apartments were large and clean. Cleaned up without a tip. Changed towels and supplied soap and shampoo bags. There are no hair dryers, but the rooms have large folding towel dryers, which is very convenient, there is no such thing in 4 and 5 star hotels. No need to pull the ropes and contrive. Throwing things in a clean room ran to the beach to cool off. The sea during this period of the year constantly comes and goes. But the coral reef was in its place and the variety of fish and corals remained, which was a pleasant surprise. There is nothing to do on the beach without shoes and a mask. Slippers can be bought for 3-4$&. You can also buy a phone case for filming underwater for $8.
LUNCH was already different, the Arabs were at least, and they came later, the assortment was standard. Soup 1 or 2 types, cut vegetables, salads, eggplant, baked potatoes, rice, pasta, fish, chicken, boiled meat. Dates, jelly, cakes. Sometimes there might not be something meaty, but there were always 2 types. Clean, quiet. In order to avoid poisoning or something else, they washed their forks and knives in boiling water (tea). From drinks tea, coffee, milk, hibiscus and orange UPI, fanta, cola, sprite, water. The water sometimes gave off strong bleach, the impression that from the tap.
DINNER again in different ways. Crush in the dining room, tk. it is not designed for 100% hotel occupancy. I had to wait or come back an hour later. For plates, sometimes you just had to fight with the Egyptians, they don’t have queues. Insolence is above all. Even when doing a barbecue on the street the situation was repeated. True, there was one day for white tourists and wealthy Egyptians on the street made a VIP zone. It was great. By fruit. For all the time we had grapes, dates, melons, oranges. Dates can also be collected on the way to the beach, they are not wrapped in bags, and in the morning you can pick up and eat, just wash well and eat without a crust. , because they are poured with water, which comes from our rooms.

BREAKFASTS. At first we stood in general queues with the Egyptians for an omelette, it was terrible, but then after a lot of unpleasantness, we - (whites) knocked out that omelettes were prepared for us on the second floor of the restaurant. For breakfast there is cottage cheese, which constantly became saltier and saltier, Baked eggplants, potatoes, toast with tomatoes, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ vegetables, hard cheese for delivery, sweet rolls, croissants and jam, which resembled melted jelly. It is forbidden to take out rolls and other products. But for some reason, the locals chew with plates near the pool, and we take 5 rolls to the beach for a snack for the children - they took away from everyone in front of everyone with a scandal, this is humiliating and insulting. I wanted to be honest, but it didn't work out. At the end of the rest and all the "buildings", many had to apologize to us, and even the last days, thanks to the pressure of friends from Belarus, they began to give us 2x1.5 liters per room.
POOLS. There are two of them and they put slides everywhere, but they are completely local, unsanitary conditions are terrible. Better not to swim.
It's hard with the allins system. The hotel bar starts working near the pool from 10-22.00. This includes plain water. You can go to Zahabia Tent that's across the road where there is a kids Arabic mini disco. There you can drink alcohol and drinks until 23.00. But to run across the road if I have children playing on the territory of the hotel ???
BEACH. On the beach, the bar is open from 10.30-16.30. There are no snacks. Opened a beach restaurant for money. There is nothing on the pier (Marina) either. The bar is just at the beginning of the beach. Who does not like to walk long and hard, this hotel is not for him.
The management promised to fix the situation in favor of the whites, but this hotel has many apartments that are designed for families?? ? think for yourself whether they succeed or not. Room, if terrible, ask or even demand to change until they give a good one. New rooms in buildings 4 and 7 (above the restaurant). I would like everyone to write reviews so that you can navigate the situation in hotels at the time of arrival. I hope this will be useful to someone.
