Отдых испорчен - Отель в ремонте! Vacation ruined - Hotel under renovation!

The hotel has been resold and is undergoing renovations to its buildings, restaurant, and grounds. Yes, this is being done locally, but you're right next to construction workers in every location: one restaurant room is completely stripped, windows are broken, the lobby floor is being stripped and plastered, the area around the heated pool is also being built, a canopy is being constructed right over the heads of sunbathers, some buildings are cordoned off with tape, and major renovations are underway, including replacement windows and doors. And what's this? Yes, that's right—it's noisy, dusty, and clearly not a relaxing or pleasing sight. This is simply disrespectful to those who paid a fortune to vacation in the hopes of comfort, or more accurately, outright disregard.
The old buildings are in a very shabby state—curtains, furniture, plumbing, and broken air conditioners are just begging to be thrown out—it's pure trash! Thankfully, the mattresses, pillows, and bed linens are more or less in good condition.
Need hot water? You need to be aware of when it's available and know how to attach the shower head to your shower. The cleaner was motivated by a dollar a day, so he brought tea and coffee supplies (don't get your hopes up – it was instant tea bags), soap, toiletries, and toilet paper regularly. He changed bed linens and towels upon request. There were no complaints about the cleaning service. The food was a pleasant surprise, with a generous amount of deliciously cooked meat and fish, along with plenty of vegetables and fruit. Kudos to the chefs. They were personally present in the dining room and promptly refilled any dishes that ran out.

The entertainment was light, entertaining, and not overbearing. The staff were kind and pleasant, offering helpful solutions to hotel problems.
Live music every evening. Madame Eva, dressed in a concert gown, sang soulfully and diligently to a variety of songs, often backing up. Everyone who wanted to danced—pensioners and teenagers alike. Lights out at 11:00 PM.
It's impossible to escape the north wind on the hotel grounds – the sun seems warm, but drafts are everywhere. January and February – there's nothing to do here at the hotel. The pools are freezing cold, one supposedly heated, but no more than 20 degrees – not relaxing. Besides, there's construction going on right next to the hotel, with hammers and women in thongs under the watchful eyes of the builders – they've chipped their toes.

The beach is interesting, of course, in its design, with its tiers and stairs, but it's better to go straight to Dreams Beach, near the Grill House restaurant – you can warm up there, sheltered from the wind. The sea is about 20 degrees, and the waves are rough – the piers were closed. Swimming is at your own risk. You might get slammed by a wave on the reef. This isn't Naama Bay...
The crowd was normal. People were just relaxing.

Don't count on tour operators' promises that guests of the Four-Bedroom Hotel Vecayshin can use all the services of the neighboring Five-Bedroom Hotel Dreams Beach. The only restaurant available is the Grill House and its bar, which opens after 1:00 PM. You can also have lunch there. But the staff there is as mean as...The reception staff at Dreams Beach is just as mean. The hotel is in trouble, and they have to endure all this. But with their poker faces, they handle it relentlessly. In winter, the hotel is at most 50% full. It was depressing to see people with evening flights sleeping on dirty sofas in the lobby. There's an official fee posted on the information board: $30 to extend a room from noon to 6:00 PM and $50 until 10:00 PM. But these receptionists are just extorting money. A family with a small child didn't get an extension, and they were stuck there until their departure. In short, what kind of loyalty to tourists is this, even at their own expense? So, the service is a zero.
Only the chefs, entertainers, and a motivated cleaning staff can't save this hotel. It's a dump under renovation. I strongly advise against going there. A 7-night, all-inclusive tour for two, including flights from Chisinau, cost us $1.000. It wasn't worth it at all! And keep in mind that this renovation is Egyptian and will last a very long time, if not forever. Where else would Egyptian construction workers even see women in bathing suits?
