Objections to the review "Unique among hotels in Egypt"

Written: 15 january 2015
Travel time: 11 — 20 november 2014
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday; For families with children
The rarest event! Reviews about "Barcelo" from people who were there at the same time! Do not miss! : -))))
A respected author commented on my review, reproaching me for emphasizing the shortcomings of the hotel. : -) He's right, I'm doing it deliberately (although I gave the hotel a high rating). write on the site
tourTRUTH, not tourADVERTISING. His review is more like an advertisement.
I will comment from the review only on what clearly "cut" my eyes.
1. Heading "Unique. . . ". The hotel is an ordinary, good-strong "solid" Egyptian "five". There is nothing "unique" about it. : -)
2. "Territory. The minimum among all hotels in Sharm" - I'm not sure about this, I think there are smaller hotels. At the level of the idea - I agree, there was not enough space for me there. : -)
3. "complete renovation", in the rooms "everything is new". In a photo by user Tala-S on May 27.2011, everyone can see the same hotel, the same furniture, and the same plumbing in the rooms. All

it is well maintained, but it is not new. There were also towels and sheets frayed at the edges (very clean! ) (snow-white! ), But with "pellets" from
use. Not "shampoo and gel sets", but shampoo and gel, just 3 bottles of each. : -)
4. "Beach. In a bay that allows you to swim in any storm. " Smiled... It's more like a bay, not a closed bay. Bathe - in the sense of "swim", and not "wet the legs" when
the storm will be as difficult there as elsewhere. During the vacation there were a couple of days with a wave of 2-3 points, the people in the water decreased sharply, the rescuers desperately whistled to everyone who tried
move a little away from the "paddling pool" or approach the corals. SW. the author also "forgot" to mention that a man drowned in a "unique" bay in the morning, with very little excitement. AT
Life can be anything and everywhere, but making such statements about the bay is still not worth it. : -(
"View from the loungers: on the left are the mountains, right on the bay, on the left is the sea" - sorry for the banter, this is probably a typo, but you decide on the left: the sea or the mountains? Or the sea in the mountains, or the mountains in the sea? : -))))
"The water is clear even when the sea is rough. " Transparent, but I have not seen such a quantity of floating garbage as in this bay in 6 past visits to Egypt combined. : -(((
On the shore, female volunteers from vacationers help the beach-boys to collect everything that the sea throws out; I, swimming with a mask, caught any plastic under water and brought it to the shore in
trash. : -(((
5. "Contingent. 90% Russian-speaking... " We are all 99% there. : -)
". . . calm, respectable, who appreciate European service and comfort" - the most common, rather motley audience of Egyptian hotels. According to the stories of neighbors (not himself
saw and did not participate) - 2 fights during the first week of the hotel. I myself heard a home-made evening street "disco" with a loud "chanson" and even louder drunken screams in

tageeel style. By the opening of the bar on the beach - a small bunch of people eager to get drunk. No, no, basically everything is, of course, quiet and peaceful, but "calm, respectable, who appreciate European service and comfort" - this is a clear excess. : -)
6. "Food. " I note that the meat served for breakfast - sausages of 2 types and sliced ​ ​ u200bu200boiled sausages - is absolutely not edible. These "paper" sausages first lay whole, and then they began to cut them into circles, apparently so that people would not gain a lot. : -)
"Fundyu - periodically. " 8-0?? ? Do you mean "Fondue? (French fondue) - a national dish of Swiss cuisine, a melted mixture of various cheeses"? I haven’t seen anything like this, if I missed it - it’s very disappointing, I would eat it with pleasure.
". . . brandy, whiskey, cognac... " : -)) pleases laudable alcoholic "clearness" SW. the author, cognac, of course, was not there, only locally produced brandy.
"Sweets are simply masterpieces... " - I'm sure there is a large pastry shop in Sharm that bakes for all hotels. Indeed, you can always find something tasty, always eat with pleasure, and in this hotel too! : -))
- CONCLUSION. You can safely go to the hotel, but you don't have to wait for "unique" miracles. I had a great rest, I write more about the shortcomings so that people know and can decide whether they are satisfied or not. For a general understanding of the true state of things. Well, for the amusement of the respected public, of course! Have a good holiday everyone!! !
