We rested in this "cool" hotel from the end of April to the beginning of May, it was + 37 degrees then (and now probably not more), the sea is not quite warm yet, swimming is still very pleasant. Reef, fish Masyanya, well, in general, everything is clear here, the sea and the beach are the best in this bay. Let's talk about the hotel and the staff. Before going there, I read a lot of reviews - most positive, two against the hotel. Only now I understand that 2 people wrote the truth - I am the third. Maybe, of course, *** stars with "-" will pull, but. . . ). Hotel motto: Want to laugh and lose weight?? ? Hotel "Fantasy" raves about you! The motto of the staff: who is distracted from food, he takes it again. In total, 12 Mukhamedov, 8 Akhmedov work there, not counting the cleaners, I don’t know for sure about the Abdulovs. So many different stories happened to us in 10 days that words cannot describe, we are still laughing. The canteen is a complete mess!! ! For the unprivileged, it can and will do, but you need to be deaf and blind in order not to notice something. The dishes can be said - they don’t wash at all, so the comrades take vodka at the bar, on a napkin and wipe. You can take our native brown bread with you, since they don’t eat bread at all, apparently! Sausage - it doesn’t look much like sausage, I didn’t even try it, the fish was delicious every day; soups are strange, one broth - so it's better to add rice there, which is even nothing; scrambled eggs - every morning, it was fried on the street by a nice, smiling cook), pastries were all for one taste, vegetables lay separately, a little "weird", there were also desserts and even squids, potatoes were made in different forms, to taste so and so. On the last day they made a puree; everything is clear about food - not great, but it will do, each time in a different way! The plus is that you can lose weight (I threw off 3 kg. for sure). When the Arabs from Cairo arrived in the canteen, there were a lot of hawks, and the staff fussed and served. It’s clear, they’ve arrived! On the very first day, the Cook - Abdulka (tall, thin, 25 years old, not a very pleasant type) got hooked on my "girl's tail". It wasn’t possible to eat like a human being at all, since he looked into his mouth, tormented, constantly, with meaningless chatter, during which he spoiled a bunch of napkins (in Russian he spoke worse, probably all the hotel workers), pursued everywhere and until the very end of the holiday! One thing was good, we could safely take food to the room, sometimes he himself passed it, because I tried to eat quickly and dump. We were also provided with napkins (they are in short supply), but until a certain point. It's hilarious, but the man was really seriously so sunk, his eyes were constantly in a wet place. It’s a pity for him, but it crossed all boundaries, it was unrealistic for me to even calmly walk along Naama, he was always on the lookout. Well, if only he was the only one.... So, if you go say hello to him from Nicky). . . joke of course. . . A little about the bar: from 10.00 to 22.00 - all inclusive, if you come 2 minutes earlier, you will wait or later, you will wait until the morning. It all depends on who is working in the bar at the moment, if young people can give WATER. But I'll tell you, sticky-bastards! Both young and older: my advice is to put a ring on the ring finger of your left hand, it may help, they will pour water faster and get rid of it. A good "unspoiled" boy of 20 years old is still working in the bar - Mukhamed, we called him "Yashka the Gypsy"! Kind, interesting, "shy", cool. If you see mirrored glasses on him, then know these are mine. . . were) Why not give it to my brother!? ) In general, all the staff loves to kiss, hug, say such learned phrases, like: "Is everything okay?; " How are you? "; "Why are you so angry? " and this "parrot" soon starts to bother. But at the reception they work - the most normal, cool "boys. " laba dana" - the favorite greetings of one of them working on the day shift. The man overcame a new language barrier and is now the happiest in the world. It was also funny to watch how the Arabs working in the hotel cheered for their favorite football teams !! ! This something. . . When, by chance, 2 of them found out that I used to play football and generally love it, they immediately invited me to this great spectacle. And the very next day, in the evening, I was sitting on the couch with everyone and watching the Real Madrid-Barcelona game. Fortunately for me, Barcelona then won. ) And all the following days, at the reception, conversations with me were about football and not only. . . about him))). The rooms are like dorm rooms. The first 3 days we lived in a room overlooking the pool (No. 2124), the air conditioners were beautiful, but terribly noisy and mosquitoes were beeping, so they changed (No. 2111), but it didn’t get any better. Apparently all the rooms in this hotel are the same! Cleaned them often; at first (3 days, when they lived in the first room), the cleaner Abdul did it - he twisted flowers, an elephant and a cake for us. I got a tip and begged for a radio (I bought it for 80 rubles), after which I hugged and kissed for a long time and took a picture on my mobile phone. He has a wife, a 4 year old daughter and are still waiting. You can grab presents for him, he will be happy. So that. . . no one stole anything from us, did not wear things, did not drink wine from the throat. You can be calm about this. On the last day at breakfast, we were escorted by the entire working team, headed by "Yashka", we took pictures for a long time together with some now I communicate on Skype, I miss adventures very much). Tours: 1. During the rest we went on an excursion to Jordan (Petra). I will not describe the trip, since this is already a separate story, a separate review, but I advise: lose weight, see great places, touch history, and also walk in the footsteps of Indiana Jones. 2. We went to the submarine. It’s very beautiful and impressive, of course, when you swim under water yourself, it’s much better, but I think it’s worth a ride. Next time we will probably choose another hotel, but who knows, maybe we will go to Fantasia again. Have a good rest!!!! P. S: My advice if you go on an excursion is better not to take a dry bed; when on a plane after 12, then they will not give you a drink and lunch. We were given food to go as it was a bonus. . . but it's a secret. Having recently read reviews of the Blue Reef 3 * hotel, I realized one thing that the Fantasia hotel is not the worst place, far from the worst hotel. . . Blue Reef 3 * - dumb place. . . sadly.
