Отпуск-эпос Vacation epic

We rested at the Baron Resort from 23.01. 10 to 30.01. ten.
The tour was purchased on the recommendation of a consultant and beautiful pictures. At home, after reading the reviews, they were a little upset, but at the end of the rest they were once again convinced how many people have so many opinions. In short, I can say, do not hesitate and do not hesitate, an unforgettable vacation. Most importantly, do not forget at home a positive attitude and a little irony, then everything will be warm and cozy and comfortable and satisfying.
The hotel is wonderful, very clean. I liked the food, though we ate only in the main restaurant, we decided not to experiment. The food is not greasy, the choice of dishes is large. Unfortunately, we tried the ice cream only on the last day, because we didn’t have a sweet tooth, we liked the sorbet.

The language barrier was not particularly felt, although about a slightly biased attitude towards tourists from Russia, I can say that there is a place to be, but if you don’t bother, then it’s tolerable.
This is expressed in small nuances, for example, service in the main restaurant Sinai. All our compatriots have to wait for drinks for a long time, and at breakfasts you often have to do without tea or coffee (do not be especially upset because you can pour freshly squeezed juices yourself, and you can drink tea in the room). Drinks are brought to other guests immediately. I’ll explain right away that it’s not at all about tips and the workload of waiters. It’s just that the opinion of foreign guests is valued much higher than the opinion of tourists from Russia, this can be seen even from the fact that on English-language forums the hotel manager does not respond to tourist reviews with templates, as we can see.
My husband and I managed to live both in the so-called "zircon" in 943, and in the full-fledged "standard" presented in Mostrevel's advertising brochures and on the hotel's website.
We first settled naturally at 943, indeed, the noise from the generator is unbearable, in addition to the noise they started some kind of diesel engine, haze and stench, by the way, the windows on the opposite side overlook the shopping alley, it is not known which is better. By the way, upon arrival in Moscow, we turned to the tour operator for an explanation of the inconsistency with the room booked on the ticket and pictures, we were assured that Mostrevel was conducting an internal check on this fact, that is, if you are settled in rooms from 7 to 10 upon arrival ...you can without any problems to demand from the hotel the provision of the room written in the voucher (standard category) and booked when buying the tour. Although I hope that after the checks everything will change and you will not have to demand what you paid for, because the standard category room in the hotel has 40 sq m, rooms in zircon, a maximum of 20, although if you compare room service, then there it we liked it more, because

I didn’t have to remind about drinking water and coffee (we hardly used the mini-bar). The sea view is worth the money.
When we checked in at 943, we were told the price list: relocation to the first floor - 20 usd, main building, 2-3 floors - 30 usd, we still do not understand whether this is an official dues or fees from the hotel reception staff, because we arrived at the hotel a large group, including 3 couples who did not get to the neighboring Baron Palms hotel due to overcrowding, and of all, only we were sent to a mistake, and when it was found out on what basis tourists were settled (for guests who paid for Baron Palms, free the rooms were found), we never received an answer from either the Guide or the general manager of the hotel. By the way, the compensation promised by the manager personally was also not seen))). But we got a basket of fruit and a wreath around the neck, upon check-in, many were not lucky.
From the excursions, they took only a buggy on which the wheel fell off (the tie rod unscrewed) in the desert and, accordingly, there were no tools with them, they didn’t roll over (fortunately, the husband has special training in driving), we are happy, extreme))). They didn’t climb a camel (it was scary), which saved the budget))), because climbing mono, climbing down for Nuno. By the way, the buggies were taken from the guide, that is, officially. When they wanted to learn about parachuting, the cat. offer on the beach, asked about the weight limit, 150. We have too much, but the clerk assured that you can still fly, I wonder where))))
The city shocked, we felt the color, we won’t go again, everything can be bought at the hotel in the shop, or in extreme cases on the shopping alley, the prices are the same.
We did not use any of the additional services in the PAI system, except for massage, we liked it. I went twice, for myself and for my husband. The fitness room is not bad, the treadmill is not designed for heavy weight, it snacks.

I liked the animation, we went to the show several times (it was really cold in the evening). Exercise and sports are carried out very competently (Tatiana, respect), I advise everyone, the program is designed in such a way that even beginners will be useful, and not very difficult. I liked the music on the beach.
The fact that reviews sometimes write about finished nuts and drinks (more often expensive alcohol) also happens, and the reason is not clear, in the pool bar in front of us someone asked for nuts, they were refused (ended), but we were already given two packs. And in the lobby bar, we had to stand up for a couple of pensioners from Sweden, they were denied coffee, cappuccino and espresso were over, and nescafe, which apparently had to be grown, also did not want to be poured for 40 minutes by one waiter, and another, without objection, even found a lost cappuccino .
As a result, we will definitely return to Baron (if they let me in))))
A little parting advice, when arriving in a foreign country, with its centuries-old culture and traditions, you need to behave like an educated, civilized person, do not forget that you are visiting.
