I visited Egypt for the first time and my feelings are positive.
In my opinion, the territory of the hotel is beautiful, spacious, three swimming pools, a gym, a playground. The food is good (do not take anything suspicious), the staff is friendly. There are a lot of Russian tourists and all the staff tries to speak Russian. An Arab passing by will definitely say "Hello. How are you? "
Rooms are cleaned and towels are changed daily (no tip), swans were not made)))). The rooms are very nice, clean and comfortable. A room with a sea view was given without a separate payment, just for a smile. Safe in the room is included in the service. Russian channel was.
The sea is great. Be sure to go diving. Don't be sorry $50. Feelings are unforgettable. The main thing is to survive the first shock of diving, and then you don’t want to leave the sea. It's so beautiful there: corals, fish. It's like you're part of a big aquarium. At the hotel the fish were fed directly from Pantone. One warning to avoid the cunning tricks of the Arabs: if you order a photo under water, make sure you have a camera, otherwise they make a confused face and offer to dive again for an additional fee or buy a video for $50. We had to buy the video.
We went via Teztour. Accommodation, organization of excursions, knowledge of the Russian language, knowledge of the history of Egypt (a trip to Cairo, a visit to the museum) - everything is at a good level, without a single hitch or delay.
The Arabs outside the hotel are terribly intrusive and arrogant, the main thing is not to pay attention to them. On the pyramids, do not let them take a picture of you with a camera, they will definitely ask for a fee for services in a brazen way. Do not be fooled by free camel riding, they will ask for money to take you off the camel. Or start kicking you off the observation deck. Our gypsies simply rest in comparison with them. If you do not pay them and do not pay attention at all, just ignore them, then they lose interest in you.
In the hotel, I liked only one Arab - Ahmed, who sells papyri. A very pleasant person and conversationalist. Probably a good psychologist too )))), because. after talking with him, you will definitely buy papyri as a keepsake.
In the old city, when buying souvenirs, bargain for a terrible one. Drop the price 2 times. I noticed that in the gift shop at the hotel, prices are much lower for key chains, magnets, etc.
Cons: 1) in the dining room, usually at breakfast - you wait a long time for a girl with a kettle of coffee to reach you, or when they bring you cutlery. To speed up the process, you yourself are looking for both a girl and appliances. There are small queues for food (6-10 people).
2) on the last day after 23-00 we decided to take alcoholic drinks in the bar, because "All inclusive" is valid only until 23-00. I was terribly surprised when, having paid for a martini, instead of a martini, they brought me local cheap white wine, which they distribute for free in a restaurant.
3) there are no discos and the evenings are a bit boring. I found out that it was possible to go to a nearby hotel to a disco only now)))).
But these moments are quickly forgotten. And in general, we had warm impressions about the hotel and the rest. Be sure, because of the beauty of the sea, I will visit Egypt again.
And yet, I think if you go with the attitude to receive only positive, then the negative bypasses you. I did not expect top class service in Egypt and therefore, in principle, I got what I wanted - a GOOD REST with my friends!
