Памятка по борьбе со Стелой Макади ;) Memo on the fight against the Makadi Stele ;)

I will not go into the details of the holiday - the hotel has already been well described by vacationers earlier. I will focus on IMHO important points:
1. The staff at the reception tends to settle worse (even when the hotel is half empty), hoping for baksheesh. Those. either the first line (thousandth numbers) - construction through the fence and screeners to the kitchen early in the morning, or poor repair in the room. This must be fought by calling the manager Mr. Yehia (you can refer to Andrey from Kyiv, I think he will remember; ). The appearance of this character (albeit exclusively in English) immediately takes you to the second level of the game "settle in stella makadi"; )
2. Now you need to watch 2-3 numbers (without carrying your wife and children with you). Rooms closer to the restaurant allow you to actively participate in the nightlife, but not everyone likes a disco under the windows until one in the morning. Lovers of silence have a direct road closer to the sea (although once a week there is a foamy disco on the beach until the morning or before your scandal). The noise issue hasn't been resolved yet.

3. In the room you will get acquainted with the intricate system of switching on TV + SAT and even more intricate system of paid minibar. By interrogating Oksana (a Russian-speaking administrator, often caught near the pool), we managed to find out that they give 2 free bottles of water every day, the rest for money. Pegasus guide gave the opposite information; ) New bottles are put only if you have drunk the old ones. Therefore, when preparing for an excursion, for example, to Luxor, it is necessary to hide the bottles in a suitcase in 1-2 days (my wife and I collected 6 pieces, and did not buy anything on the way).
4. Nutrition did not raise any questions (except for local recipes - sometimes tasteless). No indigestion, poisoning and other uselessness. Spend 1-2 visits to the restaurant to understand in detail where-what-they give and enjoy gluttony. In the restaurant, too, English will help you.
5. Alcohol is ugly (as in all Arab countries). Or buy imported (not included in the olynclusive), or less experimenting with free cocktails.
5. Wind. A big and fat question that can spoil the rest. Studying the forecasts in advance helped us little. Of the 14 days, 6-7 were windy (we used this time for excursions), but those who came for a week cried for a long time. Beach fences and towels don't help much.
6. Animation is only good for kids. Adult - stupid, boring, etc. So you have to go with kids ; )
7. Entrance to the sea from a 400 meter pier. In the middle there are 2 slopes for cubs (the sand is clean, shoes are not needed), at the end of the pier there are slopes for swimming with a mask. Be sure to bring a mask!! ! The fish are so amazing that you no longer want to go to Turkey, but you want to come here again, even with all the overlays.
You need to go for 2 weeks, then there is a chance not to burn out and swim.
