We returned to the hotel after 2 months (end of November and the first days of December). What has changed: there are more of our compatriots, and also more hotel guests with small children and fewer foreigners in connection with this, places on the beach, restaurants, bars inside immediately became scarce. Problems started with the internet. Sun beds immediately appeared, though without umbrellas near the green buoy, near the very last lagoon and the statue of Neptune. Additional swings and benches immediately appeared on the playground.
Individual transfer to the hotel (10-12 people from the plane). We were the last to receive a suite in building 4 (as for regular guests). The room is excellent, but the closet is very small compared to the usual standard, although there is space in the dressing room. Huge empty bathroom. Everything is new, clean, after renovation, but somehow mediocre, I can’t say that a non-renovated room is much worse, even it has some kind of zest in the old tile.
We were cleaned every day, clean, everything replenished, we always leave a tip. The hotel is undergoing renovations to the main building, they are building a floor, changing the tiles on the embankment, those who are in the 2nd building will have to put up with the noise and the embankment needs to bypass... This is bad because of this, she lost her attractiveness and if in September there were everyone on it in the evening the tables are busy and there was live music, now everyone has moved to the main building and all the live music is there because of this there is a crazy crowd of people in the evening and the Internet does not stand up. We had our own router and did not feel any problems with the Internet, except for one last day. But we didn't really sit inside either.

The breakfast restaurant worked instead of the Asian Citadel, and from building 4 it was just fine for us both to the beach and to restaurants. The citadel worked only for dinner, and here, with the arrival of our ever-hungry vacationers, queues already appeared at the entrance, they tried to get in a couple of times by 18-30 and 20-00, but in the end they left because they closed the street area.
We dined either in Asian or Oriental. We went to Tanzhin again - we liked it, the menu was not changed, there were more people and no one left ahead of time. I didn’t like Italian, as I did the first time, the only difference was that they didn’t serve it on the street anymore. Pizza is terrible, spaghetti meat and chicken are ok. For regular guests, a dinner was organized at the "buddha", the impression is ambiguous, the food is not bad, but somehow it seemed not enough, there were a lot of people, the show was not visible. The interior is interesting, but something else is interesting, would they have fed us for 60 euros? Finally, we went to eat at a restaurant.
Fresh juice was mostly orange, and the truth is, the earlier you come, the less diluted fresh juice. Once it was melon - again, I did not like it. There was no dried fruit compote.
I liked the weather more than in September, for 5 days it was windless in the mornings and it was easy to swim out of the lagoon, the wind started only in the afternoon. Yes, I had to take places on the beach, if I wanted a certain one, until 7 am, but even after 7 half of the places were free. I saw how people even took out decorative pillows from the room and left them for the night. But these are mostly companies of 4-6 people to be all together.
I saw a girl who severely cut her heel in the lagoon, but even there it was written in Russian - slippers!
The right lagoon was also without sunbeds, they laid tiles there.
On the beach, the noise of repair work was not particularly heard and did not interfere, well, it's like someone.
We went to a restaurant for lunch, but again, I did not like it in the food court.

Prices for excursions from the Tez tour have risen slightly, historical, explained by the rise in price of tickets. The guide was completely malnourished and the other was late for 20 minutes and sluggishly and almost not interestingly talked about the excursions that interested us, so we left earlier. I ordered the tour from "private traders" from home, but I can say that they got it cheaper only because of the smaller program, when they scored everything that was on the Tez tour tour, the price was equal. This happened for the first time, but we had a general transfer to Luxor back and forth, and individual excursions by car for 3 people.
Compared to September, we liked it more, the only minus was the embankment and we didn’t want to sit inside in the evenings, well, the wind probably interfered with this, and many deliberately left the street. In the evening it was not cold in a long-sleeve shirt or thin long-sleeved dress, we were comfortable. I didn't carry my leather jacket around with me. The food could be a little better, but in most hotels it is 100% worse and you only go to dine in 1 restaurant, not 5 to choose from. Thanks to Xenia for helping us with our questions. We were satisfied and if all the dissatisfied do not come here anymore, I will not be upset.
