Good time of the day everyone! We arrived a week ago from Sonesta, I am writing a review, maybe it will come in handy for someone. This is not the first time in Egypt, we swam, we know. We chose a hotel for the money, rested from 12/9/13 to 12/18/13. The tour operator "Pegasus", "Orenburg Airlines", everything is fine here, everything is on schedule. We arrived at the hotel at 9-00 in the morning, settled without problems within 20 minutes, without surcharges, offered a bungalow, refused ourselves. We put on the bracelets at 10-30 , before that we settled in the room, looked at the territory. The hotel is large, clean, well-groomed, only the salt lake is somehow useless. The rooms are not quite new, but clean, tidy, they are cleaned every day, you throw a towel on the floor, they change it. does not affect the quality of cleaning at all, but we left it. Electric cars of lazy people deliver to the beach during the whole daylight hours. Walk to the beach for about 10 minutes on the territory, the beach is clean, well-groomed, there were enough sunbeds. It would not hurt to change them, but my wife says that they are comfortable. daily from the sellers of excursions, they still stuck. Especially one Arab surprised me, I fought him off for about 15 minutes, said that we didn’t need anything, everyone saw it, they were everywhere, and at the end of the conversation he gave out the phrase: “HOW YOU TIRED ME! ! ! ". Another artist.
Now, on to the most important thing, the food! We go to the restaurant "Carmack" - dear, in front of you is the catering of the great and mighty Soviet Union !! ! By the way, the restaurant is right at the reception. The chefs probably only know how to count to 5.5 types of salad, of very dubious quality, decorated with cucumber flowers, we have never tried, which we do not regret. There are also 3-4 types of side dishes, and the pasta will be prepared with sauce in advance, put in an unheated food warmer, the sauce is somewhere below, cold . Potatoes stewed, fried, cut very large, often half-baked. The meat was every day, stewed, but very unpresentable in appearance, on the last day my wife tried it and before the bus arrived at the airport she had a "great" time in the bathroom. Three times for dinner they did grill, 3 slices of sausage and 2 slices of chicken in your hands, everything is fine, go eat grated carrots. the next morning, mountains of chickens were fried for the staff (we could see the entrance to the office premises from the balcony), we were excited by the smell of barbecue in the morning, but we had to eat carrots. On Thursday and Sunday, paid parties were held at the beach bar, for some reason these days in base there were no fresh tomatoes and cucumbers in the restaurant, there were again carrots. For breakfast, a good scrambled eggs, but a dish called "promising toast" will not promise you anything. . But there are pleasant moments - the pizza on the beach is delicious, but you have to stand behind it for 1 hour, people figured out what to eat. Now about booze and bartenders. You can drink beer, but only 2 plastic cups in your hands, I ask the bartender: "Why", he answers that the owner ordered so. But when some important uncles arrived the next day with folders and ties, this one the bartender almost forcibly handed me 6 glasses of beer in front of them, take it, drink it, dear. And more. respected. learn the composition of cocktails, In the lobby bar I order Sunrise to my wife. The bartender says that it’s “dirty. ” Knowing the composition of the cocktail, I name the ingredients, I ask you to pour it into one glass, you should have seen his sour face. , a paradox, everything is the same plus FINE-CHIPED ICE. Yes, Egypt, Africa, ice is in short supply. In general, as in that parable, Tsar Peter 1 called Prince Menshikov and asks him: "How are things in the Russian State? " that the prince replies: "The king-father is stealing, they are stealing. "
Well, something like this, we don’t take offense at anyone, we don’t blame anyone, we chose it ourselves, we ourselves reap the benefits. But why go to Egypt, the clear Red Sea, reefs. We got this, a warm sea, a tan , a good reef near the hotel, we swam, dived, the mood is still good. We are optimists, with a slight sense of humor. The animation in the hotel is not bad, especially for children, and we didn’t get bored in the evening. , very nice guy, takes cheap, very punctual. Have a good rest and good mood!!!

P. S. But never again in this hotel, if someone has already bought vouchers, take immodium or loperamide with you. These pills came in handy for us !! !
