My husband and I were in Egypt for the first time, and after reading the reviews we were ready for all sorts of nasty things: from paying extra for a good room, extorting tips, bad attitude towards Russians, the need to borrow sunbeds at 6 in the morning. As a result, the only terrible thing that happened was a late check-in. They were supposed to arrive at 18-00, as a result, as a result of a flight delay, they settled only at 00-30, that is, the day was gone.
Miracles began immediately upon arrival - the room turned out to be just cool, with a sea view, a balcony, large and comfortable. Moreover, I remember exactly when buying a ticket there were options to take a sea view room with an extra charge. In fantasy, ALL rooms with a sea view, so this is a divorce by the tour operator.
I will not go into details about everything else, we rested in the same period as the dreamer, and he extremely objectively expressed my impressions of the hotel.
I would like to add some points - I am simply amazed by the reviews in which people complain about the terrible attitude towards Russians! what nonsense, the staff treated us personally cool, in the restaurant they came up 100 times to bring a drink, remove the plates, ask if everything is fine, while you go to the buffet, everyone will smile and say something good. I did not notice any special attitude towards the Italians. We learned a few phrases in Arabic, and when the waiter or bartender heard "how are you? " in his native language, he just precipitated and was our fan until the end of the vacation)) after a few days we knew everyone by name, and everyone knew us. I can’t complain about a single person. I would especially like to mention the following people: Bishir - in the afternoon in a bar on the beach, in the evening on a hookah, he told us a lot about the traditions of Egypt, taught us useful Arabic phrases, and we taught him Russian. Karim - Dreamer said everything about him, without him I would not have seen many underwater inhabitants, and in general I could not swim long distances. in a few minutes the dolphin, very close! In general, Karim is such a special bonus of Fantasy. He did a lot for us, we spent all our free time in the company of him and Bishir, and before leaving, my flip flops fell apart and he gave me his. And after that, people will tell me that the Arabs from us only need money! Speaking of tips, we made friends with a guy who also worked as a snorkel and beach instructor, Sam. So, he was fired and we gave him a couple of dollars at parting, so he did not take them! As a result, we signed 100 rubles in our names and handed it to him with difficulty. Karim and the guys for spanking a few dollars, because he would not have taken it! Osama is also wonderful people - he is something like the boss of the waiters, Mahmoud is a waiter, Hasan is a waiter and bartender in the lobby bar, merchants Misha and Bianko. From the very beginning they understood that we would not buy anything from him, however, we smoked a hookah in their store and drank tea, Misha told us a lot about the history of ancient Egypt and gave us a papyrus before leaving. These are the people with whom we constantly communicated, and everyone else was always friendly and caring. We were also taken for free on a camel by camal man, although it costs 10 bucks
Soon we were faced with Russian rudeness. Five days after our settlement, we somehow sat in a hookah bar, and then such an uncle crawls in and begins to threaten Bishir, saying that the hotel is your bullshit, you need to be friends with me, give me a sauna, otherwise I’ll write to you when I get back, I'm a Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent, and I'll drown you in the sea. It was terrible! Such a shame, I was ashamed of the Russians. Osama came and took him to the reception, we decided to follow. For the next 20 minutes, he wandered around the hall and got attached to the guard, rubbed something on him, then began to grab him with his hands. The guard simply did not know what to do, in the end I could not stand it, came up and told him, "Come on, get out of here! " I expected that he would start bullying and our guys would give him a horn, but he just got up and left. After that, it immediately becomes clear what kind of people write bad reviews and how the staff will treat them.
The second such instance came up to us somehow when we were sitting in a hookah bar in the company of a German, and began to yell that the grandfather of this German killed his grandfather in the Second World War. out of the blue.
At the very beginning of the holiday, we accidentally met the owner of the hotel at a disco. His name is Ismail, and he was terribly happy to light it up with us there, they immediately turned on Russian pop music, which we were not particularly happy about) At first, we didn’t even think that he was the owner , then Osama came up and whispered that he was a "big boss". And then he introduced himself. Somehow he liked us because after that he stopped to chat with us every day, took us to his room, smoked a hookah, and once gave us wetsuits for snorkeling when he found out that Yulia and I were terribly cold. In general, the sweetest person. Well, Mr. Mauro - the manager - he could be seen anywhere - in a restaurant, on the beach, on a pontoon early in the morning. He approaches everyone, asks how things are going, if there are any complaints.
Of course, Italian animation does not work for Russians, but I periodically played volleyball, and went to dances with them, learned a few Italian phrases. Davide, one of them, sometimes so funny told Yulia and me "come to the disco today, I'll dance you there. "
For the last 2 days the weather has deteriorated, a strong wind was blowing and the pontoon was closed. The day before departure, we swam in Karim for the last time at 6 in the morning, I even have a photo where we sit and wait for Karim in the cold wind so sleepy)) And the next day we left at 16-30, at 12 we handed over the key, bracelets with we were not cut off, maybe because we always found a kind word for the person from the reception. We had lunch and spent the rest of the time on the beach. Bishir and Karim were always there. They took me for a ride on a donkey that delivers drinks along the beach, the so-called Lucy Bar, and when we said goodbye, it was clear that they were almost crying.
In general, personally, now I'm scared to go to some other hotel, I don't want a drunken crowd, I don't want discos until 3 in the morning, I don't want a clogged beach. We never lay on the beach to the point of stupefaction and never got bored. We really want to come back in October and see all the staff in the same lineup.
