СОВЕТЫ ADVIСE

I lived in "Segal" from 10.12 to 17.12. 2012. Impressions about the hotel did not cause positive emotions, I decided to share the information. Immediately make a reservation, placed in the old "Segal" (there is also a new "Premium") Check-in at the hotel begins at 14 o'clock. We arrived at 16:00. In theory, there shouldn't be any problems. I put 20 bucks in my passport, asked for a room with a bath (the hotel has a shower, but there is a bath). They didn't take the bucks. This surprised and alarmed me. Answer: "Wait 10 minutes. " Together with me, 5 people waited for an hour and a half in silence for check-in. The result is a room with a shower and views of the construction site. And you could not give bucks for a bath. After talking with other vacationers, it turned out that where there is a bath, there is no cork in it, it turns out a room in the bathroom, similar to a room with a shower. The most interesting thing, I found out the next day - the hotel is half empty - on my floor, out of 20 rooms, only 6-7 are occupied. The view of the building was an advantage of the room. The windows of the rooms, on the contrary,
along the corridor overlook the windows of the rooms of the neighboring building. The next morning there was another problem - the lack of hot water. For the entire stay, at best, she appeared at dinner and ended at 21 o'clock. The room is ok, although shabby. No complaints about cleaning. For $1, everything changed, cleaned up, and towel figurines appeared. The level of nutrition, as elsewhere - "canteen", also no complaints. Just do not believe that there will be variety. I read reviews of one lady that her husband could choose any meat dish. Yes, the choice is large - yesterday beef, today chicken, tomorrow fish. A day later, vacationers were forced to run during dinner. Hot was prepared on the street, everything else in the restaurant. It's cold outside and there are few seats. Therefore, I had to collect vegetables and everything else in the restaurant, hot on the street and run back. The beach is normal, there were no problems with choosing a sunbed. Don't know,
Will they be enough when the hotel is full. I would especially like to mention the bar on the beach. Unsanitary face. In my presence, the bartender took a plastic canister with a cut-off top of water from the ground and poured it into the water heater, from where they took boiling water for tea. How long this homemade bucket stood under his counter and how much dirt got there, no one knows. Continuing the theme of unsanitary conditions. She thrives in bars. One bartender took a lemon in his hands and offered to squeeze it into my cocktail. Another threw ice into the glasses with his hands, and when I tried to make a remark, he stretched out his hands in my face and said something pleasant for a long time. There was an opinion that bartenders take pleasure in showing their disdain for Russians and provoking them with their actions. Example… I order vodka at the restaurant bar for lunch. The bartender takes a glass, pours half a Sprite into it, then tops it up to a full vodka and says: Drink, Russian, delicious.

It was necessary to splash this cocktail in his face (I apologize for being rude). But I did not make a fuss, but told all this to the administrator. As a result, I received a portion of rudeness. True, they told me that this bartender was fined and transferred to another job. I want to give advice - if you are rude or poorly served - inform the hotel management. All the servants are only in appearance brave and impudent, and when it comes to responsibility, they cowardly pass. This bartender even hid the badge in his pocket - he thought I would not be able to tell who was rude to me. Now about cultural rest. It gets dark after 5 pm. People gather in the "lobby" in the hope of organized events. But they are not. I saw it twice in a week. Solo performance of songs by an Arab from 20:00 to 22:00, which interested only preschool children. The rest of the evening events are paid - either a disco in a paid bar or a disco after a paid show.
One evening I decided to just watch what people are doing. Five companies in the "lobby" played cards to keep themselves occupied.
Finally, one piece of advice. Do not leave money in the safe, carry it with you. 13.12 a safe was opened in one of the hotel rooms, and three people living in it lost about a thousand euros in total. They took away all the currency, and even rubles. He left on 17.12 and, as far as I know, the police did not take any action to find the burglars. One more piece of advice. Stock up on antibiotics and activated charcoal. In a hotel, poisoning is a system. Only I don't know from food or or from water. And the clinic is paid. They even called me twice in a week from the clinic - they were interested in well-being and offered to visit them. Thank God I didn't have to. Although some vacationers could not avoid visiting the clinic after sitting on the "white throne".
Maybe this information will help someone in making a decision where "not to rest in Egypt. "
