1. From the good: warm clear sea, coral reef, a lot of very beautiful and different fish, quite decent food /chicken-beef almost always, a lot of vegetables in all forms, very good pastries! /, well-groomed large green area, beautiful sea view and an island from the first row of houses, we had 534 a spacious standard room with a dressing room, and in the evenings a small gecko was sitting on the wall in the corridor / do not offend, he is cute! /, next to the hotel is Soho Square with musical fountains, shops / and duty free , where upon arrival you can shop for 2 days, although the choice is small / and free Wi-Fi;
2. Not good: in the sea, the buoys are very close relative to the reef, it turns out that there is a narrow strip for swimming between them, someone constantly stumbles; cramped beach; a large stupid territory /2 booths with towels, for the sea - by the pools, for the pool - it is not clear where at the playground /; many, many mosquitoes; absolutely not friendly hostess; lack of free Wi-Fi on the territory; old rooms / rusty stains near the toilet on the floor, the tiles themselves with black mold on the seams, a skewed sink, old furniture, but in fairness I’ll say that everything is in working order /;
The feeling in general: Egypt has not departed from its revolution, there are many checkpoints with equipment and boys with machine guns / because of this, half of the excursion directions are closed, and those that are open are accompanied by an escort /. Regarding the hotel itself, the constant feeling of redneck sorry. Ping pong? 2 hours a day. Gorki? Also in time. Cocktails? No bar cards, no idea what to ask for. Ice cream? For money /$2 minimum/. Wi-Fi? In the lobby, for a fee. Housekeeping - conditional, a cockroach crushed at the door appeared all week, pleased with its appearance. By the way, the bucks were regularly left to Valid, mainly for additional water, but sometimes they don’t bring towels, sometimes they don’t report toilet paper))) and more! Not caught, not a thief, but upon arrival we did not find a T-shirt of the Ukrainian national team / I just packed it in a suitcase - I grabbed everything from the shelf and tamped it down /. Another feeling: I’m 35, I’m a large lady, I don’t use cosmetics on vacation, flip-flop shorts, a shaggy unfriendly look, I immediately burn to a crimson color, and at the same time they constantly tried to glue me ! ! The presence of an even larger, shaggy, unfriendly husband nearby did not stop anyone at all! This was our first trip to Egypt /I think it will be our last/, maybe this is the norm for Egypt, I don't know. A separate hello to the Annex tour for not warning about a 2-hour flight delay / we would have at least stocked up on sandwiches, otherwise 2 slices of pizza and 2 cans of cola at the airport for $ 24 are too curly for me / by the way, another couple from Kyiv was offered 6 at the hotel the day before days to be delayed at the expense of the Annex tour due to lack of seats on the plane.
