Пляж Мечты? Или....? ;))) Dream Beach? Or....? ;)))

The tour to the Dreams Beach Resort hotel was chosen for the price ($ 1840 for 14 nights) and the absence of very negative reviews.
Pegast operator.

Transfer. The Odessa-Sharm plane arrived on time, but the luggage of the guys from our bus was lost and we had to cook for 2 hours, waiting for the completion of the search formalities (the suitcase was found after 2 days). Arrived at the hotel approx. 21-00.
Settlement. I put $20 saved on the “Sinai visa” into my passport. The Papuan receptionist, who opened the passport, beamed and asked the traditional question (he asks everyone): - Standard number? To which I replied: - Not at all! Sea view, pool view, upstairs, presidential suite, king size bed…
Papuan tried to fulfill the request to the maximum. Received the number 1816.
Explicit lovers of "taghiil" are accommodated in the magnificent 50th building with a view of the cool fountain and El Fanaara.

Number. Building 18. On the first "line". The room is standard, not shabby, with an excellent direct view of the sea and the pool, 2nd floor. The room is approximately 3.5x3.5, crammed with furniture placed around the perimeter, which is very problematic to use for its intended purpose due to its size. Bathroom 2.5x2.5, corridor with wardrobe and safe. For those who like to watch a duroscope on vacation: in the “front view” rooms, this device is not a plasma at all, but an ordinary 21` “cube” mounted on a refrigerator, because two walls are occupied by windows.
In order not to catch a cold, the air conditioner exhaust was directed along the ceiling to the opposite wall, but it still blew a little with the returned flow. Room sizes, yopt!
Met the cleaner. Not due to lack of communication, but due to service failures. Cleaned daily and with high quality, but there were misunderstandings with linen and shampoos and soaps. The linen was old, washed out, sometimes with holes and looked like a wagon. I was surprised for a week, and then asked the boy to find the newest one and did not change it anymore. With shampoo-gels, too, tension. As a result, only body lotions accumulated near the washbasin.
Guide. Smirnova Alla. Acquaintance with the guide was scheduled for 9-00 in the morning, but it turned out that Alla postponed the meeting to 10-00 and 20 tourists were forced to stomp around the reception for an hour, and not swim with the fish.
We gathered at 11-00, listened to the information about the "food concept" in this hotel (more on that below) and proceeded to the main thing: excursions. Alla handed out forms of cunning "statements", announced that everyone who left Egypt without Pegast would be repressed at the border and fined 120 dollars. To check, I asked if this applies to “visa-free Sinai”, to which in response I received a stupid answer that such people cannot even leave for Dahab from Sharm. Everything became clear - Alla in such a way sells vouchers at exorbitant prices. More with the "guide" did not communicate.

Feed. The hotel has one large canteen (Opera) and two small eateries (Grill and Pergola). The food is simple, hearty, with meat, chicken, sometimes with fish and without fildeper. There were seafood in the form of shells, crab shells, shrimp and other scales, but because they were mixed in the same bowl-tray, then I did not dare to try this compote. Also did not eat salads and other food, the composition of which was unclear and the ingredients were hidden by dressings / mayonnaises. Therefore, everything was in order with the stomachs (well, except for the case when the six of us ate kebab at the GrillHouse) - we farted, ate coal and are alive and well. There were sometimes queues, but mostly for scrambled eggs (one roaster for the whole crowd).
Some, after eating in their canteen, made a promenade to the "neighboring" Hotel Vacation to continue the banquet. )))))
Drinking. The "food concept" of this hotel is All Inclusive for food. But not on water. Water can be drunk from coolers. Or collect in your bottles from coolers. Or buy at the bar for $1 per litre. Or buy around the corner in a store for 2 pounds per 2 liters.
I do not recommend collecting water, yupi, hibiscus from coolers, drinking fanta-cola from vending machines, because. water for the preparation of these drinks use tap water with dubious filtration.
The standard set of "alcohol". He drank "gin" tonic (a tonic from cans of Schweppes) and sometimes beer. Whiskey from Odessa and Eilat dutik brightened up everyday life.
Territory. Large, lots of lawns, few trees, poorly harvested. It is dangerous to walk on chipped paving slabs, sometimes moistened with Taf-Taf oils and stripes from rubber rubbed with his own heels.
Sea. Fabulous. Left and right for 50 meters, the corals are almost intact. Pleases with fish, turtle, moray and barracuda. Over the Sea and went. ; )
Beach. For two hotels it is very small, but people basically prefer the pool, so after 12-00 the beach is completely empty, and by 16-00 a rare vacationer will prevent you from enjoying loneliness under an umbrella. Around 15:00, a full shadow sets in on the piece “under the pharaohs”.
There are not enough beach fights, urns, whole sunbeds, sand. The mattresses are tattered. The beach is rarely cleaned. Citizens of the Kurtsa, do not shove bulls into the rock!
I liked to relax on the trestle bed under a wooden platform and "on the step under the rock. " There is ALWAYS a shadow under the Falcon Rock, although a very intense tan comes from the reflection of the sea, a falcon sits on the rock, which sometimes poops. Super place. Recommend. Just do not forget to smear with cream, even though it's cool there. )))

Swimming pool. Didn't swim. Not for this pinned to distant lands. He went down the hill three times, got stuck twice, did not try again. )))
Around and inside the pool, people thump and eat huge plates of french fries.
The sunbeds are great and I don't understand why there aren't any on the beach.
Tours. I took it on the street around the corner to the travel agency named after Cheburashka and Gena. The guys are not bad, but I recommend taking a description of the upcoming entertainment in writing. Some nuances may be overlooked.
Jerusalem - 70 dollars per body. Duration 31 hours. The road there 12 hours, back 9 kopecks. 2 hours at the Dead Sea. Interesting. It's hard. Take pillows, warm clothes, comfortable clothes and shoes with you. Do not take children with you - sorry. Learn the history of the City if possible. It will be easier and more interesting.
If you want "safety guarantees" - buy tickets to Jerusalem from Pegast for $220. Three zombies, who heeded the words of the ill-fated Alla, rode with us in the bus in complete and boundless safety. )))))))
Quad bikes - super, almost individual 2-hour safari. The concept of "superquads" in this agency is peculiar - I recommend ordering camels, Bedouins and admiring the sunset separately. )))))
The population of the hotel. Approximately: 50% - northern CIS-Venets, 20% - subjects of Yanukovych, painted workers and peasants of England - 20%, several companies of loud-screaming Poles-tractor drivers, individual individuals of the crazed Germans and French.
Pedestrian close to Hadaba, Leila, Mercato, Old Market, Metro. We walked a lot. We bought silver tsatski, mango for an afternoon snack....
We had a great rest, but rather not thanks to the hotel…. .
Final thought: This hotel will be called magnificent, as the old Russian proverb says, by the one who: "They ate nothing sweeter than a steamed turnip"....; ))))))
