!? !?

Hi all! I rested in this hotel from 05.12. 09 to 12.12. 09 with my husband and daughter (4 years old). Since we were in Egypt for the first time, the first impressions of the hotel and the rest "DURING THE SETTLEMENT" were simply superb, but time passed....and all the minuses began to creep out slowly. I think I will first describe the pros (because there are much fewer of them than cons)
+№1. Huge room with huge beds (for a child the bed is the same size as for adults).
+ №2. A huge balcony overlooking the sea (all rooms look towards the beach).
+#3. Room cleaning for 5+
+ №4. There is always enough space both by the sea and by the pool, no matter how long you sleep.
+#5. In the canteen (you can’t call it a restaurant) there is always something to feed the child, i. e. dairy, scrambled eggs every morning, there are corn flakes and balls (if you have time to grab)
.....Well, perhaps all of the pluses, we will even dilute these.

-№1. The rooms (on the balcony) and the beach cafe have terrible plastic furniture. I'm not a picky person, but sorry, we're talking about a 5-star hotel? ! There are no slippers or bathrobes in the rooms, and the tile floor is very cold, carpet, the child walked shod around the room.
-№2. Cleaned the room well, only for 1. e. My husband and I did not leave every day for the experiment, well, on those (free days) we cleaned somehow, but on paid days it was wonderful.
-№3. There are only 4 pools, but only one is heated, and what's funny is the children's pool with slides with the most icy water.
Near the only heated pool, all the people hang out. There is also a bar, but I want to tell you that the bartenders are all dissatisfied, they pour it on the fuck... go away, regardless of nationality, language and all that, until you give 1 c. u. And when you give money, they become affectionate like tiger cubs and stop pouring into plastic glasses, all the same it is more pleasant to drink from a glass. Who is traveling for the first time, my advice is to change more odnushki, they will be very useful to you, this is the most changeable banknote.

-№4. The dining room is just kick-ass. There are much more seats than places near the handout. I don’t eat sweets, so it seemed to me that it was the sea. There were few fruits: melon, not ripe guava, pomegranate, dates. For vegetarians, the diet is rich, lots of vegetables, steamed vegetables, pasta. But the meat-eaters will be tight. My husband was starving. From the meat there were only semi-finished cutlets (and tasteless) and some kind of gravy with meat, oh yes... beef, but it was not possible to chew it even once. In the mornings there was an omelet, pancakes, milk, but if you come at the end of breakfast, then there is never any dishes for milk, there is always a problem with spoons, and a cup can only be taken by storm and in a bloody battle. I went for the first days in a state of shock from our culture people. When you stand in line for corn balls (Nesquik) with milk (for a child), and “piggy” grandmothers stand in front, they sweep everything to the rest into 5 bowls, with the words “What are these for balls? I'm rowing to Kharkov. " Or when an eater walks with a plate from which the food falls out, because he scored a LOT because of greed. I was pleased only with dinner, but to get into the dining room, you need to stand in line for min. 20. Every day there was a signature dish in the evenings: lyulya, chickens, crabs, fish in batter (highly recommend).
-№5. Animation was divided into 2 parts: Egyptian boys and Russian girls. There are no complaints about the first ones, the guys burned to the fullest, excellent aqua aerobics, dancing and physical fitness in general. preparation. But our girls left much to be desired. Firstly, they behaved in such a way that we (vacationers) came to their house and moreover for free, rude, well, I think you would not be pleased to hear from the animators when they walk along the beach and invite, shouting "Let's go to the belly dance, let's get up, how you all got already lying down, now I'll raise the assholes! That there is a children's club on the territory, we found out ourselves when we accidentally came across it, no one offered us or approached us for the entire time of our vacation, and in the evening there was a children's disco run by the same girls. Every day they, in turn, dressed in the same animal costume (which one, I did not understand) and danced the same dance with the children on stage. In short, they didn’t overwork. And the runners with excursion programs get very tired, meticulous and sticky, drive away right away.
-№6. If you want to swim, dive and see fish, then you need to walk 250 meters and in special shoes, the child did not swim in the sea.
In short, the second time I will not go even for free.
And finally, a few tips for those who are the first time. Do not buy coral slippers at home, they cost 5 USD on every corner, sunglasses 5-10 USD. If you want to buy fruit home, take everything in the city, do not postpone the purchase until the day of departure, we did not find anything at the airport except booze in duty. If you eat in November-February, be sure to take warm clothes and shoes, it gets cold after 17.00-18.00. , and minibus 5 USD round trip) and safer. Yes, if you want to buy local booze, then any bartender from the hotel will be happy to sell you for $ 5 per bottle.
Have a nice holiday!!!!!!!!!! !
