Hotel
The hotel is small by Egyptian standards. When (and I think not soon) the second half is completed (the boxes for it were ready 3 years ago), then it will be very crowded in the dining room and on the pontoon. The working buildings were built in 2010, but, according to the impression in the rooms, it looks much older. Looks like for 4 years of life they loaded them to the fullest and killed them. Nevertheless, everything works: the light is on, the water drains, the doors are closed (I'm talking, however, about the grand premium rooms).
Territory - clean, green, 4 pools, 3 bars. 6 buildings. Before our arrival, buildings 5 and 6 were closed (a revolution, however). For holidays, our people (in the general sense of the word) went to Egypt. The 5th building was settled, the 6th is being prepared for opening. Every now and then one hears from the locals: "Lublu Russian. Ruska is not a Freud (they are not afraid), but the Germans (anl, etc. ) are a Freud. " Read - no tourists - no work, no baksheesh. In general (and, finally, after so many years after the construction of Aswan, MIGs and "fraternal assistance to the people of Egypt") again - "lubla Russian" (Ukrainian, Belarusian... ).
Restaurants. Food is. Variety - is (to the extent of the budget in the mode of economy during the crisis). 8 dishes with a lid: with rice, beans, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, meat, chicken, fish - fried today, baked tomorrow. In the morning - scrambled eggs, pancakes, in the afternoon - pasta, in the evening - grill, pizza. Plus pastries and fruits. 4 types of ice cream. Tea and coffee all the time. In general, dying of hunger is difficult. If it’s completely unbearable and hunger torments, then out of 2 paid restaurants, only Italian (combined with grilled fish) is open to dine there for two - from $ 50 (drinks are free with ALL-Inclusive). For the hungry, there are also burgers and hot dogs in the morning on the beach (after breakfast) and some food from 24:00 to 2:00 in the main bar. True, in the place of many vacationers (sorry girls), I would generally go to rest according to the system: "only breakfast" if I were you.
Bars. Three bars - on the beach and by the pool from morning to sunset, the main one - 24 hours. According to ALL - 5 types of alcohol-free cocktails and 5 s. Wife liked Midnight Sun. 5 types of juice from packages (apple, orange, pineapple, mango, guava, no tomato) - delicious. Beer - in a bar on the beach: "Stella" - canned, sour, by the pool - draft, better. Wine - as lucky: from fermented with foam, the smell of sulfur and a vile taste, to normal. I think it depends on how long the bag of wine has been in the sun in the warehouse. Bottled wine - for a fee. Rum, brandy, whiskey, gin, tequila - with the same, local, specific (remotely reminiscent of a bouquet of moonshine) taste - is drunk quite softly, but it depends on many factors: with or without ice, in the evening or in the morning, well, in general: - ". . . depending, my son. . ". I do not recommend drinking local vodka even for medicinal purposes.
Staff. The guide from the host (operator "TUI") - polite and helpful (we did not go on excursions, from complete idleness we went (for free) only for oils and "parfum on tap" - to have fun. At the reception - the boys smile. The question of "early check-in" solved "as always". The girl - "guest relay" - calls the number 2 times a week - "is everything all right with you, sir? " Not because she is interested, but her job is like that. questions - solves. Waiters - moderately helpful and smiling (the influence of the "fire in the house" is still felt). Cleaning of the territory is slowly going on: a puddle of blood on the path near the pool was wiped only after 3 hours. Room cleaner - I saw once when he came for "his dollar" and along the way to find out if we liked the room and if everything is in order with us. Cleaning is not ah, but normal, and the figures are twisted - funny. In general, well done (if you do not pay attention to the poorly wiped mirror and dust under bed; do you often look under the bed at home? ). but cheerful and active (although I prefer when she is not at all). Security - working: a crowd of "Russo-tourists" (probably from Tagil), who wandered into us from a neighboring hotel at one in the morning and settled down to swell by the pool, politely see us "home" in exactly 3 minutes; the security of the territory is cheerfully dozing on their chairs on the borders of the hotel. "Beach molesters" - they call moderately.
Beach. Long. There is enough space for everyone. Pontoon - 100 meters. There are places for kids to enter the water (knee-deep swimming). On sunbeds at the pontoon - "Russian village".
Sea. The sea is the sea!!!
Results:
Very attractive price. Last year, if I'm not mistaken, the price for the same tour was almost 2 times higher. It turns out that at such a price, you can work. Due to the greed of the entire tour chain in Egypt, which over the past 6 years has gradually raised prices by 2 times (with the same level of service), they have not been to them for 4 years.
Attitude towards "ours" - as a whole has improved. How long?
The sea and the reef have not yet been completely trampled. There is still living creatures and beautiful places. I exclude: - "Oh! Look! And a big fish is sitting under the pontoon! "
Mosquitoes. In the evening, they eat a lot. Ointment (like "off") - helps, but smearing with poison is not very pleasant.
Russian speech (Russian mat) - you want something new abroad, but you are tired of it at home.
AND ESPECIALLY: Three Polish-looking men speaking Italian (!? ), ordering at 11 o'clock in the morning, in a bar on the beach, they "mowed" a large glass of vodka with orange juice like Russians (in a conversation with a bartender). Imbued with pride for our people and almost fell off his chair from laughter!
All pleasant rest and positive.
