Без особых восторгов, но и без чрезмерных нареканий No special enthusiasm, but no excessive complaints

Hello dear travelers. I'll leave a fresh review on the hotel, just recently returned.
I must say that I tried to brush aside all the shortcomings of the rest, since the price for the tour was very pleasant, and in general the trip took place spontaneously. I urgently and immediately wanted to drop everything and go to hell, that is, to Egypt; ), enjoy the rest of a seal, lie down and bask on the beach, swim in the warm sea with fish, sleep and, in general, abandon home cooking and cleaning. Three hotels were offered to choose from in the amount of a little more than a thousand dollars, Dream Beach had the most adequate reviews, they didn’t think for a long time, they took it and flew off.
Excursions were not planned, since, in principle, everyone had already seen, and only a week, I wanted to stupidly lie on the beach. Upon arrival, they did not pay a visa, did not write anything on the card and did not even speak, the Arab in the window silently slapped the stamp on the passport, without asking anything. We were transported by minibus, there were few people from our flight in that direction, so we arrived quickly, the airport is not far. Outwardly, the main reception building and the lobby did not like it, somehow not impressive for five stars, small, a little shabby, accustomed to larger buildings. A beautiful fountain in the hall with falling threads of water, and the glass of the chandeliers swaying at the top, so dusty, it seems they have not been washed since they were hung up. That's all, glasses, gobies, cups and so on have been lying around since the night. Cleaners sweep the beach stairs, while all the gobies remain in place, the beach is dirty, all the same gobies, glasses, toilets on the beaches are really dirty and smelly, handles-locks are broken, sometimes there is no paper... well, I'm not used to it though to the Egyptian five stars, but to such a spit and laxity in cleaning. Yes, our people are pigs, but you can clean better, but oh well.

We arrived at the beginning of 11, filled out the cards and went for a walk around the territory, had lunch (late lunch, from 13-00), began to settle in, no one had issued anything by two o’clock, so our cards were lying to ourselves, unpleasantly, they tried to communicate on the subject of settling on on the second floor - the Arab turned on a complete ignore, spat and went to the room, I really wanted to sleep and it was all the same, since the day before there was a sleepless night of moving to Kyiv along native Ukrainian roads broken into trash and an early flight.
Everything is as usual in Egypt - the furniture is old, the TV set is old, although they saw plasma in other rooms, it works with pink, it mostly blinks with a gray screen while it tunes the channels, there is a plate on each building, but I didn’t like listening to Putin on two Russian channels, so the TV was turned off. There was no table and chairs in the room : ( pichalka, and one large bedside table on one side of the bed, but there the room was pentagonal, so the second one would not have risen. The room itself is large, in the corridor there is a huge wardrobe on the entire wall. From the negative - there was no sign like "do not wake up", in the hotel these are bags hanging on the handle door, the cleaner only hung one for us on the last day, after I myself hung a self-made leaflet asking us not to break into the room when we sleep. it was not hot as a class, that is, it flowed so lukewarm, it was fine for me, my husband grumbled. On the roofs of the buildings, small containers are heated under the sun, well, there is probably not enough for everyone : ). They cleaned us already twice for all the time, for the reason stated above - the cleaning was breaking at the time when we were sleeping%) The first time they removed and took the sheet from my husband, he covered himself with a blanket for the first days, and all the towels except for one and %) with which we lived until the next day, after which we left 50 cents - all the towels appeared again %). In short, I omit this item, we got such a cleaner or we got him : ). There are no ashtrays in the room and on the balcony; The view from the first floor balcony (actually it's not a balcony, but practically an open area) is a nice fountain.
Beach. The husband grumbled, the beach below either went down the stairs past the foam pharaohs, or past the Arab tent along a gentle descent, I personally didn’t feel discomfort, as there were steps - then a wide span, you don’t get tired, but who cares. But what a beautiful mountain cliff on our beach, you admire - beauty. Three entrances to the sea, take slippers : ( I didn’t take it and flopped on the first day : ( then it shone with a bruise and a peeled elbow. I didn’t like the long entrance at all, most of all I liked swimming from the shortest one, immediately a cliff and amazing blue depth - you can’t see the bottom : ). The fish, like everywhere else, well, we saw more interesting ones, but normally, the turtle was never found : ( although my husband and I are famous swimmers. It was stormy for a couple of days, and sometimes there was an absolute smooth surface. on the main beach, where the artist and animation, under the boat-restaurant. There such an entrance is not wide because of the corals that have fallen into the sand, hung with a rope, but the little ones knee-deep can splash quite and safely. On the beach, the animators tortured the girls for an hour with stretching, played darts , taught belly dance, in general, fun. There is also a stall with underwater ammunition, on the beach and plunged. Sunbeds stretched in places, broken in places, but we wake up early, came at 7 in the morning, swam, occupied normal lying ki and went to breakfast. We didn’t lie near the pool - then go far to the sea, too lazy. Pancakes are fried on the beach, the queue is wild : ).
Food is booze. I liked the main canteen, quite varied, tasty and satisfying, only I never took salads - I'm afraid I came off on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce and olives. By the way, I really liked their lightly salted cucumbers, which for some reason are smeared with ketchup%). Omelettes, scrambled eggs are fried on the summer terrace in the morning, and boiled eggs can also be taken there. At lunch, some meat is fried on the left, pasta in sauce is heated on a large rack on the right, another type of meat is fried and french fries. In the evening, on the summer terrace, different meats and fish are fried and steamed on both sides, although they give a modest couple of pieces, but it was enough for us. In the main dining room everything is buzzing, everything suited me. There were enough fruits cut according to the season - tangerines, oranges, semi-dried dates, melons, guava, bananas, grapes, apples, strawberries came across in a fruit salad. The tortegas are excellent, in the freezer there is almost always a small portion ice cream popsicle in chocolate - take how much you eat, delicious. For meat, there was always chicken and lamb in various forms (meatballs, bone-in kebabs, stews, etc. ), beef, meat pies are often offered (suddenly someone didn’t have enough meat), they fried beef liver, fish often thickly. There were three types of soups that I liked, a lot of vegetables, I liked to take steamed zucchini, cauliflower with carrots, fried eggplants and zucchini in all forms, from pickled to grilled, well, all sorts of other garbage, everything is as always, everything is enough and even excessive both for Egypt and for me. I also liked the beach grill, although they didn’t give cakes there, only fruits for dessert, but they also indulged in seafood and kebabs from the grill. I liked the seafood - very tasty, what kind of sauce they make, I would like to know. Squid, crabs, shrimp.

In terms of drinking, my husband and I are not lovers of strong drinks, especially Egyptian moonshine, dyed in different colors under different names, but honestly tried, took several different cocktails - went into the trash, took a clean product, also a terrible swill. Therefore, they sipped their beer and water on the beach, and drank wine in the restaurant in the evening, by the way, a pleasant surprise - all the wines were drinking, they looked like dry ones: white, pink and red without a wandering Egyptian effect and strange aftertastes, in general they drank wine and were surprised . In the lobby they pour, it seems, around the clock, only wine from 10 in the morning, we managed without pouring eyes until lunch, but suddenly someone needs it. We recharged coffee there as needed, otherwise there are no kettles and coffee in the room : ( pichalka. Oh! Another joke of the hotel, upon arrival you will not find bottles of water and go to the coolers either to the beach or to the canteen. The guide explained - such a hotel policy , they give money to lured shops on the territory, so that they can buy at least water from them... there are no words : )
By the way, in shops (except grocery) the prices are adequate - you can not go anywhere. The prices in the hotel shop for any tea, silver and other T-shirts are at the level of those to which you can bargain in a bitter struggle on Inmarkata (by the way, to the left of the hotel, 10-15 minutes on foot, it’s beautiful there in the evening). In the evening you can wander around the territory - in the second hotel there are beautiful pools, also with slides, by the way, in our main there is a large slide and a smaller one in the children's one. Our playground was under renovation, but will be done soon. There are parrots and turtles in cages outside. At 16 o'clock football starts on the ground above. In the evening, the animation scales from 22, it’s okay to watch such shows, or sit near the restaurant on the street, if you are a fan of contests, karaoke and Russian chanson, or you can smoke in a Bedouin tent in the fresh air on a mountain by the sea (all drinks are poured) hookah, or even in general, take a glass of wine and go down to the beach, sit, breathe in the sea and admire the night lights of the coast.
Wow, I wrote a lot, I'm curtailing. So, will I go here again? - No, once was enough, I want something better, cleaner and more interesting, but I won’t scold too much, at our price - a good option turned out. The hotel is 90% full of Russians, there are a few Dutch, Germans, English, Arab families, but mostly Russian speech.
