Нормальная четверка normal four

Rested family of three in the second half of October. Rest was a success. And the following impressions about the hotel.
Arrived at the hotel around 17:00. A friend at the reception announced that we had a standard room. I agreed and asked for a quieter room on the second floor. Further dialogue: - Unfortunately, there are no standard rooms. For a room overlooking the pool, you need to pay an extra $10. from a person. - No thanks. Give us the room we paid for. - You'll have to wait. We waited five minutes, filled out the questionnaires and demanded a number right now (I remind you, it's already evening). Since marinating us in order to get the coveted dollars. failed, a friend gave us the keys to #152. It was the complete opposite of what I asked for - ground floor with access to the pool.
By number. Everything worked. Plumbing is practically new, nothing leaked. Hot water around the clock. Hairdryer 3 speed and serviceable. Safe. TV set. Empty minibar. Air conditioning is central, but cold more than enough. The mattresses are hard enough, the sheets are not torn and clean (remembered the previous reviews about the terrible underwear). Only two towels per person - bath and face). With difficulty, they asked for a third. The furniture is old, in the closet the doors did not ride on rollers (they simply do not exist there), but moved with a creak and only with considerable effort (the wife could not open it). The doors are painted in a terrible green color with scuffs and dangling (but working) handles-locks. Shower cabin with stationary (not removable) shower. Small ants were running in the bathroom, We did not touch them, they did not touch us. Exit to the terrace and a swimming pool three meters away. It turned out to be convenient.

The hotel area is small. All life flowed around the pool. There were plenty of sun loungers (this does not happen in all Turkish fives). The beds are almost new and quite comfortable. Excellent water slides. Especially the adrenaline high. My daughter (9 years old) was delighted. Beach towels were "two generations" - or not new, but decent, or quite old. The same towels were taken to the beach.
The beach is about a kilometer from the hotel. We walked only out of interest once - an old pleasure (open) bus runs to the beach and back. It does not go according to a schedule, but according to the principle of back and forth, back and forth. Never had to wait more than three minutes. But for those who like to walk - 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. There are always enough sun loungers on the beach. But in the morning, when the beach is especially busy, it is difficult to find a place under an umbrella. Two pontoons. Great reef with lots of fish. The beach reef is even more interesting than the reefs that were visited on excursions. Bar with drinks and snacks (french fries, but before you take them, look at the color of the oil in which they are fried - it is black, burnt).
Near Soho. You can walk in the evening, including shopping. True, we used the shops opposite the hotel. Cheaper. By the way, on the first day, buy fresh water, because. it is not served in the room (saving on small things? ). Very tasty mango. They brought home five kilograms.
Food is the weak point of the hotel. Breakfast is poor, but this is standard for all hotels. Lunch is a little better. For dinner, they always cook fish or grilled chicken (they don’t know how to do this). Sweets are mostly biscuit based. Fruits are all chopped. Bananas have never been taken, they are finely chopped and float in some kind of solution. The same with apples. Chopped pomegranates and oranges. Several times served persimmon (kinglet), very tasty. Without going into details, I will use the standard phrase: "of course you will not be hungry, " but gourmets and meat-eaters are not here. Meat-eaters recommend visiting the national Ala Carte. There are grilled meats.
The restaurant is small. Queues are sometimes in the evenings (we did not have to stand). Dishes may run out and this fact will worry only vacationers.

Vacationers are 90% Russian speakers. Tagil, unfortunately, was also present. During the day it is not visible and not heard, and at night it is not visible, but well heard.
The staff is quite friendly and well trained. He understands and speaks fluent Russian.
Animation is weak. Young, hardly adult girls. They try to amuse the audience, but professionalism is not enough. But two male animators do not even speak Russian. Generally none.
Paid wi-fi. 5 dollars in half an hour. It seems that for Egypt the Internet remains an element of luxury.
In general, the hotel lived up to expectations. We have not found anything that can spoil your vacation here. And if on a burning and inexpensive ticket, then it will do for a not very pretentious public.
