очень красивый риф very nice reef

My friend and I flew to Egypt for the first time, while we were choosing a hotel, some ran out of places, and we chose Harmony according to financial capabilities, the agency painted it as a good four, they said that they had a rest there some time ago and everything was quite up to par. Yes, only some time ago the hotel had other owners and it was called by a different name, a friend of mine later described how cool it was there. However, now everything has changed dramatically. Several points can be made:
1) What is good is a large well-groomed territory, a lot of flowering plants, a large beach, a very beautiful reef. There was always enough space on the beach, except that by 11 everyone occupied it. And an amazing reef! Even when we went diving, the reef was less colorful there. Only all this beauty is located on the surf line, where shallow water ends, then there are large stones covered with water and immediately great depth. Because the wind was mainly from the sea, then it was not always easy to enter and set sail, as the waves knocked down. There are plenty of fish, of all kinds. Slippers are a must! With a strong wind and waves, it is almost impossible to swim there, it is always nailed to the stones.
2) Normally, if you don’t find fault too much - the room is quite spacious, everything is there. They didn’t come to sit in the room;

3) Deceptively - the territory seems to be large, but you go around it on the first day, and then nothing interesting.
4) You can survive - a few annoying staff, the one that cleans the room - no, to clean everything, leave the due water and change the towels right away. He does it in several passes, and suddenly you will be in the room and leave an extra dollar. Although it didn't make it any cleaner, the floor was never washed, and the dust was only wiped off when you wrote "wash me" on the TV screen. The maximum will make something beautiful out of towels. There was also a stupid habit of laying out clothes on the bed, then we began to hide in the closet, he did not climb there. Maybe they are not all like that, but we are just so “lucky”. In the end, he apparently took offense and instead of fluffy new towels he brought old, hard and far from white ones.
5) Bad - food. Monotonously. At first glance, there is a lot of everything, but then you realize that the same thing is laid out in different saucepans and placed in different corners, you can’t eat salads - apparently they just update them from above, it’s better to take just vegetables that are cut right in front of you. With chicken, beef, etc. tension - a piece in one plate, and then not every day. On Fridays they arranged something like a holiday, then some dishes appeared that were not in the usual diet, but the first rows of vacationers swept away everything. True, there were always a lot of delicious pastries for breakfast. And so - as elsewhere - a boiled egg, fried, flying around. There were pancakes, well, eternal sausages, they have always been. There are almost no fruits, and if there were, then those who came in the forefront eat them. You can't drink coffee! Of the other drinks - tea, something like "yupi", is presented in three colors. They didn’t give milk just like that, only in coffee or tea, but people drank anyway. If you did not have time to go to dinner at the very beginning, then you can safely go and walk for an hour and a half, two, otherwise you will have to queue at the door. For breakfast and lunch there is no such full house. They didn’t bother with cleaning in the restaurant, in the morning you could find a peel from yesterday’s watermelon, and a sparrow under the ceiling;
- boring. During the day, tireless animators called to play volleyball, aerobics was performed in the pool, and they taught the basics of Latin dances. In the evening at 20:00, the children's program began, always the same, but the kids liked it. Then there was a program for adults: a man or a woman sang to the soundtrack for an hour and a half, danced at most 10 people, periodically a show was arranged where the animators showed boring numbers. Then the people or absorbed various mixtures of local alcohol with cola, fanta and sprite. In short, there is absolutely nothing to do in the evening!

- there are very few shops on the territory of the hotel, with a small selection of souvenirs.
6) Very bad - no sea!! ! The low tide zone is 150-200 meters, at high tide the water rose somewhere up to 1.2 meters, and then if you move decently from the shore. I had to swim in the territory of the neighboring hotel, where there is a sign “no swimming allowed”, it’s good that they didn’t drive us away.
Half a year later I was resting in Egypt, on an excursion I met a compatriot, he rested in Harmony, said that nothing had changed there and if it were not for the reef, then the rest would not have been a success.
