I read reviews about the hotel: average cost, youth, not boring, etc....
But in fact it turned out as follows... I went to rest with a campaign of 5 young people aged 26-28 years
7.10-20.10 (2 weeks, I will say right away, this hotel is too much).
Egypt, as always at this time, met us with hell)) On the way from the airport, our hotel was the first. drove for 10 minutes;
we arrived at the hotel at about 8 in the morning, and are settled, as you know, at 12; we needed one 3-seater and one 2-seater, we asked next; was not nearby, but in order to check in at 8 in the morning, and not wait for noon, they asked us for 30 USD. (bargained up to 20 USD).

Settled, the hotel is a 2-storey buildings (during the check-in, there was just a repair-painting outside), 3 pools: 1 for children, 2 large ones, the back one, about 5 buildings up to 2m deep, is most acceptable). Room 5208, at the time of check-in there were only 2 beds, a TV set (2-3 Russian channels, for the rest I advise the program "Fashionable Sentence" and something about court hearings)))-) mini fridge (4 bottles of vodka fit, local water - by the way, they give it out upon arrival at 1 per person, then only from coolers - #discomfort# ), a safe only at the reception (there are a lot of duplicates from the cells), I was pleased only with the bathroom - it was not a pallet, but a full-fledged bathroom, but unwashed, the rest of the plumbing old, the tile is peeling off in places, the bidet is missing.
Placed. changed, in swimming trunks to the pool, all inclusive only from 10:00 in the bars by the pools. It's no secret that the swill * beep * (beer Luxor - 3-4 degrees. Rum - 20 strength, we recommend the ROM-Sprite cocktail), I wanted to eat, they offered only sandwiches (sliced ​ ​ round bun with herbs and cheese / meat). Lunches and dinners are of course varied in terms of food, but on the 7th day everything became so boring that they prayed at McDonald*s; for breakfast I recommend omelet, mini-sausages are not bad, for lunch cool donuts in chocolate, of course lime, melon (in the end we missed borscht and other soups), for dinner take what is cooked on the street - fried meat, merchant. sausages)... I advise you to go closer to the end, the people are dark. A huge minus is the lack of instruments, and at rush hour and places. I over the dollar to one of the Arabs, and during the holidays the instruments were quite operational when he was on duty. At the end of the holiday, we were lucky, the authorities arrived and the food was excellent - the potatoes became cooked, the salad of tomato-cucumbers, potatoes with meat). An Italian restaurant requires special attention, which you can go to once during your vacation, except for Friday. You can only order pizza and a glass of soda for free; we came with our alcohol, began to ask for 5c. u. for serving and so convincingly, do not believe it !! ! feel free to complain to the reception.
The territory of the hotel is beautiful, a lot of vegetation; terribly boring on the territory, no entertainment; animators deserve separate words - a Russian woman and a monkey husband, another girl Yana - exercises in the pool in the morning, water polo in the afternoon, competitions and a disco hour in the evening, the end of 23.00, and the end of everything, the bars are closed, you can’t swim in the pools, these freaks (basurmans) even the bottles are removed from the cooler. so after 23 you can’t even drink water for free. At the reception, the air conditioners are turned off, and closer to 24 hours, even the light. The most normal place seemed to us a bar upstairs. True, the hookah is 3c. u. terrible, to compare go to Naama Bay and smoke hookah for a dollar - it's great.
While playing water polo, a little trouble happened to me - I broke my head a little; due to my inexperience, I went to the doctor on the instructions of the animator (they are on the side of the infidels), they treated my head with iodine. put gauze under the plaster, for all this I officially paid at the reception 30u. e. (this is under the insurance contract). You are going crazy now - the whole procedure of my treatment was 150u. e. stunned!! ! (It's okay that most of the pays for the fear of the computer) So. don't get fooled. handle everything in the room. unless of course minor cuts and damage.

Cleaned up in the rooms well. towels are changed every day, bed linen is changed for the whole rest. The rooms do not have balconies - this is a big minus for me personally. The photos that are on the site are so brightly colorful - this is photoshop !!!
Taxi to the center, to Naama Bay 2c. u. regardless of the number of people, we traveled with five of us, or if during the day, blue minibuses drive (these are local minibuses), the fare is 1tugrik (6 rubles) even to Old Marketa
