We chose this hotel and decided to go to it. I knew that it was impossible to read reviews, and even more so to believe them, but I could not resist and read it, in principle, I was mainly interested in the issue of excursions. I read it, was horrified, but steadfastly decided not to pay attention to all the negative reviews. And so, we flew in (representatives of travel agencies are doing a good job of swindling tourists, offering them a visa for $ 20, motivating this by filling out the migration card themselves, and there they just fill out passport data, so $ 5 can be saved) and at 10 o’clock we were in hotel. We were immediately put on bracelets, filled out the documents and offered to go to a bar, because it’s too early to check in, but you need to wait for the guide until 11. At 11, our guide Karim came (he is simply terrible, he managed to arouse a strong dislike for himself), and began to ride on our ears for a whole hour, and nothing on business, but all about excursions. What do we need them for sure!!! ! buy, buy only!!! ! with him, otherwise they won’t let us out of the country, because we will need to pay taxes, they will forget us somewhere in the desert, as they have already forgotten and lost a whole bus of tourists. This continued throughout the rest, he even left a note under the door, where it was written that we must bring a mandatory application to his reception by 12 noon tomorrow, otherwise we will have problems with leaving !! ! But they couldn’t take us like that, and his excursions are two to three times more expensive than in other companies. So, after driving over our ears, he really put us in rooms at 12 o'clock, all of us (there were 6 of us) got excellent rooms in buildings 1 and 4. Everything worked in the room (except for the safe, it did not upset us), it was clean and comfortable, cleaned every day, bedding and towels were also changed every day. We didn't leave any tips. Regarding the theft, we were told in the hotels that things had been stolen from some of us, but I can’t confirm whether this is true or not. The biggest drawback was that the local population rested with us, and apparently from deep villages and villages. It was a total nightmare!!!!! ! They managed to eat a whole hotel, make noise, their women in these clothes swam in the pool, their children walked around the tables in the restaurant with shoes, and their parents did not tell them anything. But they left, and everyone in the hotels breathed a sigh of relief. There was silence and calmness, table setting appeared in the restaurant, we began to get fruits and sweets))) The food was normal, no one was poisoned or complained. They are far from our alcohol, but we liked the light beer. We were taken to the beach and picked up strictly by the hour. But the Arabs do take our occupied sun loungers if we are not around. The animation is so-so, I thought it would be better. But overall the stay was great and we liked the hotel. But I didn’t go to Egypt again, I didn’t like the attitude towards the Russians. Over time, we adapted to ride in the minibus, they all want a dollar, regardless of the distance, and their locals pay with piastres, so we gave 15-20 pounds for everyone and goodbye. In general, they don’t really like to accept pounds, although it’s really cheaper to pay with them. So do not be afraid to go to this hotel!! ! It's okay to rest there!
