Hotel Unfulfilled Expectations.
In Sharm for the 5th time, we always choose hotels in calm bays and with interesting reefs. They were always happy with everything. This time, Coral Beach attracted attention - so many laudatory reviews, the rating is awesome (7.9-8! By today's times), how did we pass it by? And it’s not in vain that they passed !! ! Let's say right away that not everything is so bad, but ...The price seems to be adequate (as for the New Year season and in comparison with our favorite hotels), someone even wanted to give a fifth star in the reviews. Kapets! What are 5 stars? Is that in the sky above the hotel - this is all that shines for him, no offense, just honestly. The reviews here are clearly filtered, which is why the rating is chic. We will be surprised if our review is posted. So let's try it : )
Territory: in some places even nothing, but bald, scanty, bald, stunted.
Particularly "pleased" with paving slabs on the main (attention) beaten paths: like teeth that have fallen out through one, stumble - I don’t want to; in the dark, the challenge is still the same. Well, okay, an old hotel, we understand, it doesn’t matter. But it is very revealing, from the very first stumble and sprained ankle. And after all, they weren’t in heels, and they weren’t drunk ???
They settled right away (of course, the guests here are like a rolling ball, at first we thought that we were all alone here - at least howling like a wolf, which was a lot of fun. ) Reserved room: standard sea view, ok, we got it. 1st floor, conditional sea view. Yes, at some point, of course, your eyes will stumble upon the view of the sea, but you still have to not be distracted by the gravel of neighboring roofs (what a beauty, damn it) and the conduits of neighboring rooms. They are huge, noisy (of course, old people, after all), I really would not want to breathe such air.
In general, we have air conditioner view. The roar of this neighboring conder and the water that did not leave the sink for an hour after the first (!!!
) hand washing, as well as the general gloom and smell of the room, made us go to the reception again (the distance is not close, but it's even good, there is where to "walk"). We decided to sacrifice rest after the plane and continued to suffer from hunger in pursuit of a more cheerful number. Here's $10 for you, could we have a better room, please? Well, we moved to a more cheerful room (there is nowhere more fun, disco-karaoke is just on the terrace under the balcony ??? ), the view from the window is brighter, the 3rd floor, after all, the sea view is also better exposed - finally beauty! Thank you for moving. In the evenings, however, the room is dusk - at least gouge out your eye, (there are bulbs up to one place), the lack of working sockets ...Still, we found one adequate (of course, in an inconvenient place, but thanks for that). Still the same water that never leaves, but already in the shower...It's not scary, we adapt quickly.
Canteen-lunch (hooray, hungry!!!
): ha, as they wrote, everyone here is friendly, except for the guys at the distribution, there is complete darkness, except for one smile, the rest - as if you came to their house and beg for food, I didn’t want to come up with this plate, to be honest. Especially in the morning, in the area of pancake omelettes. If you are in a hurry somewhere - do not wait for omelets at 7.05-7.10 in the morning, they haven’t woken up yet, haven’t swayed, they haven’t found oil ...But they work from 7.00. Hm. OK. In what language do not apply - stone faces. Usually these are the funniest guys, while you are waiting for an omelette - jokes, smiles. But not here. Well, no - and no. And we can sulk, frown, look like a wolf ...think about it. Yes, and we don't need your omelettes, the main thing is coffee: ) Well, why not be friendly? So hard? Don't need a job? This is the image of the hotel, after all.
Here, every guest is worth its weight in gold, and in general, if on vacation you will be rude and rude for your own money, then what for such a vacation.
The smiling friendliness of some was replaced by coldness on the 3rd day, of course, they did not shower them with dollars. Tipping immediately did their job. Not sorry, but not for what it was. For smiles? We also know how to distribute them, and for free. They wore cappuccino to themselves, they didn’t drink alcohol, we don’t favor local yupi. Not all waiters, however, are like that, there are just sensible smarties and not beggars who do their job with soul and inexhaustible enthusiasm. I want to encourage such people, and not importunate flies with feigned smiles and evil looks at your back, who forcibly stick this UPI in you, I tried to carry it, give me money. Damn, everyone is spinning as best they can, but such moments are extremely unpleasant.
Another funny thing: a person sits down with 2 plates, things, a drink at the table, ready to eat. Then suddenly the waiter runs up and tells him that the table is occupied. wtf? Of the hundreds of identical tables, this one? How to know? There are no broken flowers (for VIP persons) on it, there are no "reserved" signs.
It is not standing at the window overlooking the sea ...What the hell?? ! A person is embarrassed, surprised, fussing, dragging all his plates and belongings to the next table ...Honestly, they would not move in principle! Well, what gift of foresight should a visitor have in order to guess that this absolutely ordinary table is "occupied". By whom??? ? those who once sat down for him and showed the dollar? Maybe. Here 5 people dine an hour in total, there are a lot of tables, do not disgrace yourself, the service is awesome!
Food...oh food. Finally, we visited the hotel, about which they say "you will not stay hungry. " Well, it’s like that, everyone has their own concept of satiety, we are not picky, we didn’t starve, and is it good, does it swim perfectly on a half-empty stomach? . We eat little and without pretensions, but even we were not always satisfied with the local buffet. Nowhere else (even in Egypt) was there such a poor thing in the canteen.
NOT BAD, moreover - delicious, but the gloomy guys at the distribution put you, for example, a spoonful of potatoes, half of which hangs on the same spoon and does not come off, and they don’t even look at you, you stand there like a beggar, waiting for the second one ( How dare? ) Don't expect a lot of variety from this 4 - focus on the category below. I don’t know what food is like in 3, but it’s not 4 for sure!!!
In fact, the whole service is based on a couple of good-natured smiles, the rest ...I didn’t want to see them every day. And they want people to come to them? Does not look like it.
All inclusive is a bit strange here. Ask for water at the bar - only in a glass, a bottle is rare and not for everyone. Well, of course there is cola, exhausted and warm, well, we won’t ask for more, thank you, well, there is a sprite. 2 types of "yupi". Someone and local burda (wah, "cocktails" for happiness, of course. Snacks, chips, ice cream - no, not that hotel, obviously.
Maybe a quarantine failure, maybe it was like that before, maybe the bartender was not in the mood ...Soups, delicious Egyptian cream soups, here too for a C grade, sometimes even inedible. This is the first time we have complained about food, but forgive me as it is. Baking: just dough, flour, dryness, staleness (in the first days of our stay, this was especially annoying: where was it all stored and for how long to smell like that? why??? ? What went wrong??? ) We were always amazed by the variety, right there - sadness ...After the new year, however, it became a little better, here 4 has been outlined, yes. Perhaps the budget is different, perhaps the inspections of strict uncles help (more often). And pastries diversified, and oriental sweets began to appear.
Of the fish, only the eternal fatty (telapia? ) in batter (not counting the tuna for the new year and Christmas): this way, that way, and it’s not even tasty at all. Meat of 2 types is always small, but tasty. No, no, no more than 2 small pieces are put on one plate. Is there a grill you say?
Guys, where did you rest before, every evening (and then completely disappeared) these unfortunate 2 sweatshirts per person and fffseeee - is this called a grill? Mdya. What's with the grilled fish and other goodies?? ? Sadness. Don't tell me there's a grill here. He is not here.
Fresh vegetables are normal, dates are good as always, strawberries are super (but only 3-4r in 14 days), kumquat was even for the new year, pomegranate, persimmon ...and separate praise for the coffee machine - credit cappuccino, but sometimes rubbish poured, instead of cappuccino. Every time a lottery. Or economy or incompetence. Hm.
The reef is good, nothing fabulous, don’t flatter yourself (of course, you’ve seen better, so we went swimming to the ruined Melton, where the reef is more interesting), but it’s enough to swim far and wide, see enough of what is, given the winter time - ok.
WIND is sickly and constant, why write that this is a bay ?!
Is it in comparison with the neighboring Albatross, where there are areas where not only caps are blown off, but also heads ?? ? . Melton, through the Albatross - wow, quiet, smooth surface, another reality. Here is the bay. Coral Beach - NO!!!!!
Beach: it is beautiful, beautiful, huge, if you wander along the "coasts" of all neighboring hotels - do not get bored, with gorgeous sand (but not everywhere). Specifically, our beach: again poor, scanty, broken, worn, torn, the head of the sunbeds can suddenly recline, so much so that I managed to break my arm twice. Okay, it doesn't matter, the main thing is clean (but sad all the same) and MUUUUUHIIIIII. It's just some delusion. I even have a second name for this hotel "Fly Beach")) Flies in armies, annoy, drive you crazy, vacationers twitch like paralytics and beat flies with caps, arms, legs, heads, spewing not the most flattering words. Sometimes these flies are poisoned, but in vain.
Animation lovers: you are definitely here, there are more animators than vacationers. The guys are hard workers, they don’t have a free minute, there are so many gestures for a handful of guests - we were frankly sorry for them. They are also guest relations - there are no special consultants in the hotel, the guys help with all questions. Ironically: disco, karaoke, contests - the least we needed here. We didn't come here for that. But I had to not sleep with them, karaoke lovers carried and sang until half past midnight.
On the beach, acid music from a wheezing speaker was annoying, really blowing your brains out. Well on a fig so loudly and such?? ? Why the same crap for 3p in a row. Not all acid people are here, not all rappers. How about something more digestible, huh? Frankly infuriated at the end of the rest all this, it began to blow out the brains - they left. Although they could still lie and lie, read, listen to the surf ...ehhh. I had to save myself in the room.
And if there were just songs that we loved, then we don’t love them anymore, the same thing every single day.
Cleaner. He diligently scrubbed and washed everything, replenished, twisted and twisted interesting things, but not for free, of course. Once they didn’t leave a dollar - he pursued us all day, bending his fingers and listing how he changed towels, gave water, paper, changed the bed (stop! 8 days the bed was not changed, how did he change it? until they forced him. He changed the pillows in places, to create the appearance of cleaning). Eee? Did it - well done. For 14 days on the "cleaning", sorry, we spent more than we bought fruit for ourselves. Dali is good. Did not give - do not beg! Well, what a gypsy, damn it? Moreover, we did not have to clean up - we are clean guests. Another disadvantage was that even if you put "do not disturb" signs all over the door, the cleaner will knock annoyingly on the door and also disturb you soooo much. Jehovah's Witnesses are resting. It's something.
The staff should be brought up differently, tips still need to be earned, and not extorted. Ay, prestigious 4, are you like a desert here ? ! You don't flatter everyone. By the end of the second week, the incentive dollar for cleaning was not enough, for some reason they also took over the pomegranate we bought, which was very upsetting.
GUIDE: Separate incidents happened with surcharges for gala dinners, gidrolokhotrons on the first day also spoiled the mood and took a lot of time and money!! ! How unpleasant are all these guide scams with their assurances of honesty. This is just advice: do not be fooled by what you do not like and do not think that you owe something to someone and that your refusal will pierce their "honest" heart. ALL guides of Sharma, especially those who swear to have a conscience (Hani, Coral Travel) ARE GOODLY LIES. We are (practically) just wallets for everyone here. Well, everyone survives as best they can, sell excursions at exorbitant prices - at least be PUNCTAL!!!
at least minimally do your job - promptly inform about changes regarding the departure time, for example. The transfer of the flight from 13.00 to 09.00 made us insanely “happy”, why the hell did we pay for this day, we specially paid attention to this moment when buying a tour. Earlier, if the flight was postponed, then it was “later”, but not “earlier”. And they informed us about it a day before, never had to gnaw out this information, call guides, etc. In short, Odeon Tours Coral Travel - you disappointed us. We will never do business with you again and would not recommend to others.
And I don’t want to offend anyone, but we also need to respect ourselves, we also work and plow like horses to earn our rest, and dollars don’t fall for just a smile, and we don’t climb into anyone’s pocket for them, as they climb to us vacationers!
Good luck to everyone and have a great holiday!
