This is not the first time in Egypt, but we could not imagine such horror in a 5 * hotel for such a price ($ 1000 for two)! The hotel is a maximum of 3.5 stars.
1. We arrived at the hotel at about 4 am, asked for a "present" to check in immediately. were terribly tired, marinated us with words about the "system" and settled by 7. They don't wear bracelets so as not to let them in for breakfast, if you want to eat - pay 8 dollars per person. Seeing a "chic" assortment of food and a bunch of Arabs, we decided to go to bed and come for lunch already. They settled in a room, the third house on the side of the sea, to be honest, it’s difficult to climb up after the beach, and tk. the house is on the side, it is pointless to ride the funicular. The standard room was disgusting without embellishment. The first thing that catches your eye is old and shabby furniture, burnt and dirty curtains, apparently no one thought to wash them, we go further - opposite the bed - a bathroom, very small, it’s scary to wash in the bathroom, no one has ever washed the curtain, the bathroom itself is yellow and dirty , water from the tap flowed yellow! the door to it was so dead that it didn’t even move, hair, dirt, a lot of dust were lying around the room . . and all the “standard” rooms are like that. Gave 20 dollars. the next day - we were moved to a room next to the "suite" pool, closer to the sea, the room was not better in quality, but at least it was larger than the past, a better bed, a large bathroom. All other problems remain.
We went to Egypt in a good mood, and no, I don’t find fault that everything is terrible, but I would have gone for 500 dollars for two - and I didn’t say a word . .

2. Territory. There is nowhere to walk, there are flowers, palm trees, grass, but not in the best condition, especially rubbish spoils the impression. He was everywhere, near the paths, under the funicular, near the rooms, on the beach. In the morning you come to the beach, and there are a bunch of cups and napkins lying next to the sunbeds after an unmeasured number of Arabs. The beach next to the pontoon is very small, it can fit 10 sunbeds on the sides. There are more sunbeds on the second beach, but knee-deep water, an old wooden pontoon, and a lot of surgeon fish swim straight to the shore (be careful).
3. Nutrition. What ruined our holiday the most. There is no choice of food, 10 main courses, basically everything for Arabs, the pasta was undercooked, with soy sausages, I had to eat potatoes every evening, and sometimes skip dinner altogether, because. there is nothing. The grill saved the situation a little, but the meat was not marinated, the chicken was tasteless, and the veal was generally terrible, the smell is just . . Salads + - normal, they were not tasty every other time, the Arabs rake all the food, sit down 15 people at the table, children scream, run , climb on the tables, leave dirt behind, you can’t sit at the table. You can’t wait for fruits, there was 1 time a watermelon tasted no, even unsweetened, an orange, 1 time they gave some kind of figs marinated in juice. Instead of fruits, sliced ​ ​ u200bu200bfruits in a bowl in sweet water, again they were all raked 100 times, the view is not very appetizing, there is nothing to eat for lunch, they put out what they didn’t eat yesterday, especially meat - without spices, completely tasteless and already tough. The pastries were delicious, the only +.
3. The animators are trying, calling for all sorts of movements, but we did not go. Aerobics, volleyball, in the evening entertainment is held in the theater.
4. There are a lot of Arabs, of course, everything is for them in the hotel, and they are in priority. When you go to the funicular, there is a queue of 20 people, it’s better to go up yourself, there are only a few polite ones - one spoke to us, was interested in Ukraine. In general, according to previous reviews, it is true that here you will feel like a black among whites... (I'm not a racist). We have never swum in the pools, they come after breakfast, all the sunbeds are occupied, the pool turns into a paddling pool with a lot of noise and screams.

It’s 3 km to the old town, taxi drivers near the hotel are terribly annoying, they want you to go back and forth with them, they say, come to the store, say, a friend will call and I will come, and you sit and wait 20 minutes for him, they will also dig you in the store buy a figurine with an extra charge of 10 times!! ! Don't get fooled. Better call the store "George Clooney" free shuttle back and forth, and the prices are absolutely no extra charge (this is not an advertisement, mangoes and all the things of Egypt are there at normal prices). They will say "thank you, come again" they will pour fresh mango (for free! ), And no one clings to you "buy, buy, I will make a discount, you are the first buyer today. "
