I looked at the reviews before going. I knew very well that for any hotel, even a good one, there will always be "critics" who will find negative aspects in it. After all, who is going for what... The girl writes that the hotel is shabby and it seems like it seems that the plaster and the like are really falling off there. I saw a piece of this wall. Yes, there really is this piece, but it is 0.1% of the area of ​ ​ all the walls in the hotel and its origin is not clear, maybe it is preparation for a new painting. Why is it immediately negative that everything is falling apart? Is the pool being cleaned when swimmers are in? This is because some, even when the sun has already disappeared behind the hotel and the cleaning of the pool area and the pool has begun, stubbornly climb to swim (to be honest, there is no buzz to swim at this time - it’s cool, the wind is blowing. The staff warns that cleaning is starting with a sports whistle and saying that no one warns anyone, to put it mildly, a lie. rooms and so on. Come to your senses! Who are you, why are you so honored that they should kiss your ass. What, did you pay a lot of money? Or maybe you are the first persons of the Egyptian state? The princesses and the pea were also found for me. That is not so , it's not like that.
I apologize for this introduction. It’s just that after reading such crap, people may not go to this hotel, but decide that it’s better in Sochi, everything is cool there. I am an experienced person and I know that about any hotel, even super ones, they can write all sorts of crap, but there are people who go for the first time and they can believe various nonsense.
In short, everything is in order. I traveled with my family with two children. Seventh time in Egypt. I consider this trip the most successful of all. I really liked the hotel. The hotel is new, as I understand it is about a year old. Made great. The design of both the hotel building and the territory is well thought out. Well-groomed greenery, lawns, various bridges over the pools. The view from the pool to the sea is also touching, all the same, the first line. The hotel lobby is also beautiful - everything sparkles and glitters. The original design of the hall, the glass wall overlooking the sea - just great.

Arabov saw towards the end of his stay - three aunts and even then not in black. The time of Ramadan was passing, maybe they have some restrictions for this period and you can’t appear in public places, I don’t know, I won’t lie. I have never seen them in the pool. In general, this time I did not see Arab women in the pools on a single day. Children bathe freely. I did not notice any discrimination based on nationality. They served on an equal footing with everyone, although he did not give a tip to anyone except the porter and the cleaner. The staff is friendly, always smiling, always at the meeting they will say “hello” or hello, or they will mutter something in their own way. I emphasize once again that I have never found rudeness or inattention. Street vendors, if you have not bought anything from them, will say some nasty things in their own language behind your back, but this is not the hotel staff. The manager of the hotel from Yekaterinburg Katya (as I expected) in fact turned out to be an attentive and competent specialist. All questions at the reception, when we could not explain in English what we want, Katya solved even without our request. On the last day, when the plane was delayed, and we were tired of waiting at the hotel, we took a nap on the sofa in the lobby bar, Katya, noticing us so exhausted, came up and offered us coffee first, and then even agreed to give us a free room for two or three hours. How am I going to say after that that she is rude and the staff are bastards, I don't understand.
The food is good, I met a more complete assortment only in Royal Rojana in 2009, when the hotel was not yet damaged. Prepared with quality. From meat, chicken, beef, sometimes fish. There are not so many fruits, but watermelons all the time, sometimes melons, nectarines, grapes, apples always, dried apricots, prunes and so on and so on. Sweets are also in stock, you can choose according to your liking, although I have seen a larger selection. From drinks, Coca-Cola products and juices (I note not drinks like Jupi, but juices from liter paper boxes - orange, apple, pineapple). The bar uses these and other juices to make delicious cocktails (for free). The bar serves everyone the same, without regard to nationality, but if you goof off and demand increased attention and increased speed of service, then believe me it will be the other way around. In this regard, the Arabs are very reminiscent of donkeys, they, too, if offended, will be harmful. I emphasize once again that only a polite and kind relationship with the local natives guarantees you a good attitude in return, and if you also give a tip or some kind of present, you will be an idol for them. What to do - the East is a delicate matter.
The pontoon is a bit long, but having flown 4500 km, I think it will not be difficult to walk the metro for about 50 km. There are quite enough fish, although in the same Rodzhan there will be significantly more of them. There are fewer fish on the neighboring pontoon from Melia Sinai. Water activities for your money are present - and diving, and a banana, and a parachute, and boat trips.
The rooms are modern and typical. The room has an LCD TV with satellite TV (two Russian channels - Channel 1 and Russia). Cleaned every day, towels are changed when you throw them on the floor or when you leave a dollar. Bed linen is also changed often, how often I can’t say. we didn't mess it up too much. The mini bar is filled free of charge upon check-in, then replenished for money (but there are no special problems because the bar gives bottles of water and drinks to take away. ) There is also a free electronic safe in the room, very convenient. Soap, shampoo, body wash replenished constantly. In short, I repeat again - there are no complaints about the service, everything is clear.

On the last day they extended the room for 22 dollars (15 euros) until 16.00, very convenient. All the same, waiting in the lobby is quite tiring.
I didn’t notice any negative moments in my vacation (maybe they didn’t exist at all, or maybe I didn’t notice them - I didn’t come for the purpose of inspection, but for the purpose of enjoying the rest. I got it with pleasure and wish everyone. Leave a bad mood at home and tune in to the best and see for yourself that everything is fine !!!
Have a good rest, good mood, in short, only positive!!!!!!!!!!!
P. S. Stonotiki and other dissatisfied let them go to Sochi, they will like it there.
