Отель для пенсионеров Hotel for pensioners

In Egypt, in particular, Sharm el-Sheikh for the second time. For the first time they were satisfied with their stay in the city. We decided to return, chose this hotel, attracted the low price, the photos are very beautiful: luxury, grandeur. to. until you stay, you won’t know. And so, let’s start. We arrived at about 4 in the morning, were taken to the hotel at about 5 in the morning. With us, 4 more people arrived at this hotel, went into the hall, at that time they settled some foreigners, we waited . After half an hour they were settled, we came up, and then the hospitality of Egypt began. Administrator Karim said that the check-in was from 14:00, but said to wait until 9 in the morning, we exchanged glances with other tourists, and dutifully sat down on comfortable chairs. At 7 in the morning we were put on bracelets and we, tired, went to breakfast. a piece of paper with information about the hotel, and began to talk about the check-in system: promo room - $ 5, superior - $ 10, deluxe - $ 15 per day, we bulged our eyes. Seeing our reaction, he announced a special offer: check in for $ 30 in the main building in room with a balcony (one-time fee). We refused, then he said that our promotional rooms were not ready, wait, you were invited sat. After 5 minutes, he called us, saying that only 1 promo room was ready. We decided to look at it, took him to a distant building with dusty windows, apparently not residential, the room was small and without a balcony. When we returned, we asked what other options there were, he again he began to talk about $ 30. Four people who were with us bargained up to $ 20, they were immediately settled, although before that there were no free rooms. how long are you sitting here, we answered that from 5 in the morning. He went to the reception, talked to the administrator, came up and said: you have to pay, we refused, started demanding a senior manager or manager, after they started swearing, we were provided with a spacious room , but without a balcony, in the second building, it adjoins the main one, there is a transition.
Regarding food: breakfasts were the same all the time: scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, rice with milk, potatoes, puff pastry, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers), yogurts, fruits (melon, grapefruit, guava), cereals, tea, coffee machine. Lunch: two types of soups, pastries like cakes, again vegetables, fruits, steamed vegetables, beef, chicken, potatoes. For dinner, again 2 types of soups, a couple of times there were french fries, fish, chicken, beef, potatoes. Uniformity at the end tired of rest. In principle, from breakfast to lunch and dinner, there was not much hunger.
As for alcohol: C grade, cocktails, beer or pure local spill, better for an additional fee.

With water, in general, the system killed: on the first day they brought two half-liter bottles of water, and then go to the lobby bar and collect from the cooler, or buy 12 bottles for $ 4.
Regarding the sea: the line is not the second, but the sixth, two beaches, paid and free, a bus runs every hour from 8 to 17, for the first six days they drove two buses to a paid and free one, then there was only one bus. There is a chance not to get in, especially you can’t go to the free one, you can’t go standing. Paid $ 1-reef, descent from the stairs, there are fish, but it’s inconvenient that everyone swims in one place, you can hit someone’s foot on the head, the beach itself is clumsy, almost all the sunbeds are broken. sand, good for those who swim poorly, in fact a puddle. There is a free non-alcoholic bar, sunbeds will be livelier, annoying guides with excursions constantly go, and a bartender who offers alcohol and ice cream for $.
The cleaning of the room is not very high quality, the floor was washed every other time, they put $ 1, they twisted the swans, they put the local currency, they didn’t twist anything.
The staff in general is not bad, the bartenders are all friendly. Sometimes they left them $ 1 for good work.
The pools are already 4:2 on the roof, one on the ground floor, one on -1. On the roof on the right is active, animators live there, Arabs play water polo, sometimes they even did aerobics, and played darts, and there are a lot of people, on the left, quieter .
There was no animation at all, three days a week there was live music, they sang for the Arabs, there are 80 percent of them in this hotel, they entertained them there as best they could. The leader is an American narcissist. The program is announced in English and Arabic, not in Russian (I understand that there are problems, but still). , then they watched animation dances, although they could sing a couple more songs. In recent days, they didn’t go at all, only feed mosquitoes.

Regarding excursions: contact Mickey (the guide is 2.5 times more expensive). You can find him across the street from the hotel, he also has shops with all sorts of things, very friendly, not intrusive, friendly, good excursions at good prices, maybe even accompany him himself. In general, he will do everything in the best possible way, he can also deliver any goods according to your wishes. We became friends with him, often whiled away the time talking, because there was nothing special to do in the hotel.
In general, the rest turned out to be quite good, we drove across the sea, the sun, we didn’t pay much attention to small shoals.
