MINUSES.
1. You can not take the ultra - it makes no sense.
First, alcohol. It's just that "all inclusive" is limited to local drinks - it's impossible to drink them, it's tinted acetone. Therefore, they took the ultra so that it was imported. These are Jim Beam, Beefeater and Cinzano. And he is shamelessly bodywashed with water and local cheap stuff. If this trick does not work with you, then the tactic changes to exhausting the client. After one time he will not be at the bar (wait 10 minutes, sir), and by 10 o'clock he will be completely gone. On the occasions when you are poured imported whiskey, the bartender will have a face as if you are stealing personal money from him. And tips will not save you - they hand over all the stuffed alcohol in boxes to the left. What the hell is the bartender doing with your couple of dollars if he steals a box of schnapps in one day and makes one and a half hundred bucks. The bartender at the pool bar does it most stupidly (the one with the mournful sheep table). By the way, our friend, who asked for Cinzano in the lobby bar, was counted out by the bartender for drinking alcohol. By the way, that's why they don't like Russians - they drink away the bartender's foreign exchange reserves the most, and this is not encouraged in the Koran.
Secondly, free services. All this smoothly flows into a paid one. If a trial dive in the kids' scuba pool doesn't make sense without a further paid option, but which you are free to choose, then our friend's free haircut cost 50 bucks. First, they chiked her a couple of times in front and behind, asked - to trim? - of course, but it turned out the rest without warning for the money.
Third, the restaurant. Here is up to you. Meals in the main restaurant for 4. There may be some other dishes in additional restaurants, but this will only change the assortment, but not the level of cuisine itself. In general it makes sense if you want a more restaurant atmosphere.
2. Hygiene. The room was cleaned well, no complaints. Of course, a dollar was left every other day. But with a friend, we personally saw a small rat running along the veranda of the main restaurant. A cockroach (5-6 cm) was sitting on the counter of the lobby bar, the bartender did not notice him at close range (the muscle on his face did not flinch). I noticed that Pepsi and Seven'ap are in the refrigerator in extremely worn bottles. The lids on them are all crumpled - they were leveled repeatedly after use (the new ones were pushed to the left, the old ones were filled on the bar). Do they wash the dishes - I do not know. But one on the beach was given a shabby towel (this was already found on a sightseeing boat).
3. Arabs. Every scavenger will try to talk to you more. At first I thought they were forced to feign hospitality. It turned out to be more difficult. To have sex, they need to get married (sex before marriage - 3 years in prison for both). In this extremely impoverished country, marriage customs are very expensive - the groom must earn an apartment, new furniture, gold jewelry for the bride for 3 thousand dollars, gifts to parents, a wedding, etc. pulls somewhere in the 25-30 thousand dollars. Therefore, many marry not earlier than 35 years (the average salary in Egypt is $150). Until then, they are trying to make money. There are no other ways to make an Arab work. If you are not a mat. responsible person such as a bartender and you have nothing to steal, there is a second option - a guide. All excursions are stupidly cut in time in order to have time to visit the shops of the guide's friends, who bash him for the flow of customers. Of course, a visit to the shops is issued for a tour of a perfume or tea factory. SO, in order for an illiterate Arab to learn a language, he will use you as a tutor, distracting from a more pleasant pastime. So be prepared for annoying "friends".
4. Animation. There is not much of it, but this is normal for the hotel format - a quiet, calm nook. In the evenings, you can sit pleasantly at a table at the bar with live quiet music with a glass of gin
PROS.
1. The public. Mostly they are pensioners or young calm families with children. 70% percent are Germans, there are also English and French. There are no Arabs on holiday. Ours is 15-20%. Calm. Although at the beginning I saw a family of some boozy chicks. But in general, everything is respectable and decent.
2. Kitchen. Not goofy, overall good, 4+. Both in terms of quality and range.
3. The hotel itself. Large area, very beautiful and green. The rooms are cozy, of course a lot of marble. The beach is sandy, without pantones - you can immediately into the water.
------------------------------------------------
Total: all the listed "nuances" are possible only with the connivance of the hotel administration. They say this was not here before, a lot has changed with the crisis. If you remove theft, and calm down the staff, strengthen sanitation control, it will be great. After all, the whole effect of landscape design will be constantly poisoned by the petty rattling of the staff. In the meantime, I decided for myself there is no more foot, the benefit of alternatives is the sea.
