Наш третий отдых в Аква Блю Our third stay at Aqua Blue

We flew from Gomel. We stayed at the hotel for the third time. We did not rest in other hotels in Egypt, so I compare it with how it was before.
In terms of nutrition - food has become much more modest, the choice of dishes is small, everyone imposes themselves, you have to stand in line for a bit and poke your finger at what you want. Therefore, the child did not want to do this himself and asked adults to bring food. Fruit selection is very small: apples, green pears, sometimes dates, bananas and oranges have always been. Once gave shrimp and squid on the grill. The pastry is very tasty. The food is monotonous, but in the August heat it doesn’t really matter to me, I don’t really want to eat. For 10 days I really wanted sausages and black bread)). At the entrance to the canteen they measured the temperature for four days - then they scored.
The beach was turned around, something is rarely done to strengthen the rocks, but at such a pace there will not be a result soon. The sunbeds are old, everything is ruined, people walk away and lie on towels. there are no fish on the beach. If you sail to the left to the old beach, there are fish there, but the local constantly pesters with offers to swim with him. On the beach for the locals on the left, where the reef is, the local sits in a booth and shouts you can’t swim, only for a dollar, we agreed, because. walked in the heat across the ruined beach. He swims with you and shows you everything, tells you what you can touch, what not. Russian does not know, but everything is clear)). A dollar is not a big deal. Then they brought him two dollars, but he forgot about us). He watches the reef so that they don’t walk on the corals, it’s not clear how legal it is, but you won’t argue in a foreign country. There are few tourists, their earnings have fallen completely. But the gently sloping entrance to the sea pleases, there are no piers, who do not know how to swim well, and for children this is a plus. There are no waves either, because this is the bay. They are not allowed to swim behind the buoys, they whistle and the water police controls. I saw squids in the sea, a lionfish and a dead snake. Where few people swim - there are more reptiles, you need to swim more carefully.

The territory is very clean, everything is washed, disinfected, everywhere there are disinfectants on the tables and it is very clean. The pools and the sea are very warm - at least sit in them all day. This is the only plus of the heat, and of course the heat is hellish - 43 was shown by their thermometer in the morning. I won't go again in August! On an excursion in such heat, it’s scary to think how to go, especially to the desert on ATVs and to the desert - it will be even hotter there, we went there in the winter - this is optimal, in the summer I could not stand it. With a tan, you also need to be more careful, you swim and already burn out, so you swam in a T-shirt.
All the staff are very friendly, except for the arrogant room cleaner, who brazenly demanded a dollar or came in three times and asked if everything was fine, subtly hinting. The first time they saw this, they usually didn’t give for cleaning - they just didn’t turn any of the towels and that’s it.
Upon arrival - upon arrival they settled everyone in the top five, we didn’t want to walk far from there, they gave us $ 15, we were still offered a five, and then we were settled in a building near the main dining room, which is closer to the beach. But on the second floor and with a view of the utility route. It was quiet, but not pretty. ) In the top five rooms are bigger, the water park and the dining room did not work. The pools worked. It is quiet, more secluded, there is no movement. It’s also good, if it doesn’t bother you to walk to the bus to the beach and to the dining room. Basically not that far.
Nearby there is a market, there are pharmacies, souvenirs, fruits. The mango was overripe, pomegranate green. After the mango, my stomach was seized, and then everyone also got sick, but rather from the heat. There is a pharmacy on site where you can buy medicines. In winter, everyone ate and nothing. Therefore, they did not take risks and ate in the dining room.
We went a couple of times to the Fares fish restaurant. For four, if you take assorted soup, cakes, sauces, fresh juice and mussels for all 250 gr. it turned out 50 c. u. Everything is fresh, delicious. For my birthday we took lobster and sea bass there, try it for four, everything is delicious. But there is not much meat in the lobster, it turned out 65 USD. On the check.
In general, the rest was a success, we swam, we ate, but we won’t go in the heat anymore!
