ISLAND VIEW - 2018 ISLAND VIEW - 2018

ISLAND VIEW □. 2018

Stay at the hotel~mid-September 2018

INCONVENIENCES:

A lot has been written about nutrition, I will add: portioned delivery of cheeses, whole fruits, and sweets ~ too. You are put on a plate by the WORKERS of the restaurant, what you point your finger at ~ a view from a distance, in a small amount; ate ~ go on a new one, stand in a small queue, but if you're lucky, then maybe not. In Egypt for the 6th time, I encountered this approach for the first time.

There are a lot of Arab families: in the restaurant, on the beach, in the pools. The blackness of the national dress ~ wherever you turn, the constant noise, the lack of a culture of behavior ~ tired. There were also Slavs in the hotel, Germans, Poles; the truth is hardly noticeable against the background of the Arabs.

I draw ATTENTION: After you leave the room with a suitcase, the hotel employee independently checks the room. I was put before the fact at 3 o'clock. morning at the reception, when I gave the keys.

YES ~ it is the right of the hotel so that tourists do not take anything away, BUT ~ this must be done in your presence in the room, so that later there will be no misunderstandings and will not be forced to pay for what you did not take. Coordinate the delivery of the room at the reception in advance.

POSITIVE SIDES :

Before the trip, I contacted both the hotel directly and through TOP☆ Hotels with Guest Relation~Nina, asking them to take into account my preferences when checking in. I also applied for a compliment in the DR, printed out a cover letter. Upon arrival at the hotel, in the evening: check-in took 7 minutes, without a hint of money. My traditional present ~ chocolate "Alenka".

Room #270~ has been reserved and prepared. As I asked: in the middle of the hotel, on the 2nd floor, unexpectedly Junior suite, with a balcony and a veranda, although the reservation of the Standard room; fruits in the room~welcome. The furniture in the room is not so sad as they say in the reviews; standard for Egypt, not new, so the hotel is over 10 years old.
The main thing is that everything worked properly and nothing fell apart, even the safe was screwed on. For a preliminary acquaintance with the location of the rooms, I am attaching the Hotel Map (photo), study it. I recommend numbers starting with 6## and 2##; even numbers on the 2nd floor, on the 1st floor. not all rooms have a balcony.

Sea. Gorgeous bay, there is something to compare. 2 plastic open pontoons, an indicator that there are no big waves and currents. Expanse for swimming in any direction and throughout the day, for this we come to the Red Sea. Turquoise water, the beauty of the reef towards the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel, is on the left side of the hotel. The tides are not noticeable, the water max goes 2 meters. From the shore it is convenient to splash with children. There are enough free places on the beach, it was located in the Relax zone, which is on the right side, on a hill.

There is a nice playground for kids.

I would like to express special gratitude to Guest Relation~Nina. Nice, responsive girl ~ professional in her field

. Communicated with her every day. If there were problems, then despite their busyness ~ with a smile, the ability to resolve issues immediately on MAX. During my vacation, I had a DR, the hotel congratulated me with a delicious biscuit cake (photo), I'm sure, thanks to Nina's responsibility.

WiFi. At the reception ~ not bad; SMS flew away, photos were loaded every other time, I talked. I took it both in the Italian A la carte restaurant and in the Victoria bar.

Nice atmosphere in the Italian A larte carte, had dinner more than once. I recommend: Caprese salad (tomato with cheese ~ served in a pile, with delicious dressing), grilled meat ~ 2 pieces. or fried fish ~ 2 pieces, served with puree (photo), bottled wine is not bad.

Evening promenade. Soho Square (photo) is 100 meters from the hotel. A singing fountain every hour, a bell announces the start of the show, it was not possible to connect to wi ~ fi.

Opposite the hotel there is a primitive mini supermarket and if in the direction of the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel too ~ that's it ! ! Mango at $3~4 per kg, expensive for the season. If you go to the city, the price is $ 1 per kg.
Ask the guys ~ animators, they will tell you how to get to the market from the neighboring Concord Hotel.

ON A NOTE :

Take shoe covers, at the airport ~ on your return flight, to customs. control, you need to get your shoes off and if you are not wearing socks, then you will walk barefoot on the dirty floor.

IN CUSTODY :

Of course, there were shortcomings. Most of the staff are friendly, interested in how to relax.

I send my regards to: Guest Relation ~ Ninochka, the manager of the Italian A la carte ~ Amir, the chef ~ Mustafa and other guys with whom I made friends, great fellows in their field, because everything depends on the human factor of the hotel staff so that the rest for tourists is pleasant ! ! !

Future tourists~go on vacation with a good mood. As the saying goes: "If you can't change the situation ~ change your attitude towards it" and then the rest will succeed, no matter what!
