недостаток, который потрепал нервы a flaw that ruffled the nerves

Minuses.
1. The disadvantage that ruffled the nerves.
For our family with a small child 1.5 years old and parents aged, the main disadvantage is the daily evening noise in the form of a "disco" outside the window, and until 12 at night. It’s difficult to sleep even with double-glazed windows closed. And if you want to ventilate and breathe fresh air in the evening, you will have to speak in elevated voices while in the room - the interlocutor does not hear you very well with such loud music, even being a meter away... Music from the street, create the surroundings of a cheerful city. At the reception they report that they can’t do anything, supposedly this is no longer a hotel economy. And the speakers at the same time above your head, on the roof of the hotel by the pool . . In short, it's fun to tears.
In our version, it is impossible to change the room to the courtyard, we need a kitchen, and apartments of this kind only look at the "musical avenue".

2. Flies! There have never been so many flies in Egypt (I mean Sharm)! It can be seen that the revolution, indeed, brought complete democracy to Egyptian life - they don’t even touch flies now... And before they poisoned them with smoke in the mornings... alas.
From the pros.
1. The food is quite decent. All inclusive, moreover, without hack-work, such as "warmed up with a new sauce or cut yesterday's into pieces. " We are in Egypt for the 20th time, as in our hacienda. There is something to compare with, We usually live in 5 *. Here we have no complaints. Diverse, very decent seafood, which does not happen often, always fruit. If you came 5 minutes before the end of dinner and any dish is over, ask, they will bring you, and with apologies.
2. For families with kids, a good plus is the availability of rooms with a kitchenette. We cook for the child ourselves, there are minimum conditions. Apartments with a kitchen and at the same time meals in a restaurant are not so easy to find in Egypt, not Spain...
3. Clean. But do not forget to leave baksheesh-5 pounds, and a decent cleaning is provided to you. For our 30 rubles, you can see swans, clean towels and bed linen. By the way, about underwear. There is a nice service - you hand over a bag of laundry for 10 euros - moreover, the size of the bag is not limited, and as a bonus, the second bag will be washed for you for free. Yes, fantastic! My child and I arrived here for 1.5 months - their laundry costs me less than I pay at home just for water, not to mention the services of a housekeeper with an iron.
4. Plus the main one. Climate and climate again. Although this winter in Egypt is abnormally cold. But walking in the fresh air along the bank with a child is still much more pleasant here than in St. Petersburg in winter. As for swimming, this year there are enough extreme sportsmen, mostly from ours.

Good luck to everyone who wants to relax in Egypt!
