Отель неплохой,но на краю цивилизации Good hotel but on the edge of civilization

Went with my wife for New Years. Experienced tourists, I'm in Egypt for the 14th time, so there is something to compare. I won’t describe the little things like the settlement, furniture and cleaning, it’s all debatable. We chose a quiet hotel with good food and turtles. We got both, we saw turtles, even 2 together, the food was also nothing, without frills. But they overdid it with calmness. The hotel is hardly a quarter full, the contingent is Germans, there are few of us, at one time we were the only Russian speakers at all. New Year's Eve - sucks full, 50 dollars. sorry for the person. The staff does not speak Russian at all, rarely anyone barely. We arrived on the 31st, and no one even explained to us when the New Year's Eve dinner starts. From the animator we could hardly get that at 21.00. As a result, we arrived at 20.30, and dinner began at 19.30. And at 21.00 it turns out that the festive program began. And this despite the fact that our English is not hopeless, it's just that no one bothered to explain to us. Animation is a separate song, the most sucky of all Turkey and Egypt that I have seen. 3 cripples, the only one, threw the ball to those who came to volleyball. All. There is really nowhere to go, the shops next to the hotel do not even work. We could hardly put money on Egyptian SIM cards (we had left from the last trip). To do this, I had to go all the way to Safaga by taxi. Believe it or not, there is not a single working excursion on the street. bureau, I had to go on excursions with a tour operator, like fools, at exorbitant prices. The weather was tough, of course I swam, my wife did not always. 18-20 gr. , sometimes 22. But the wind. In general, we didn’t prepare, we thought that we knew everything and so, but it’s not all carnival for the cat. Maybe because they gathered spontaneously, did not gather for the New Year, and then looked, the prices seemed to be nothing, and waved. From the pros. The complete absence of mosquitoes (but the flies were very intrusive). The beach is great for swimming, it is possible with children, and even small ones, the entrance is without slippers, the sand is fine. But probably not in January. The pool is not heated and no one swims there. But about corals - not here, although there are fish. And turtles. . .
