Let's start with how we got there...

The hotel looked very decent, one might even say beautiful ...

We received the key to the room and a map (how to get there), but ...Our number was not on the map.

The Arab, of course, did not speak Russian, but we all the same tried to explain to him with gestures that a strange situation had occurred. In the end, after 20 minutes of pantomime, we still persuaded him to indicate, "when my number". Brought to the room. The room, in our opinion, was chic, everything you needed was ...First of all, we paid attention to the mini bar. As we were told - it's free. Later it turned out that it was paid, but these are trifles ...Since we arrived late for dinner, we did not get in. And they didn’t eat in the morning, they were still hanging out at the airport. But we were told that for us the food was already delivered to the room...

We went, if not to say flew to the table and saw one (albeit a large) plate in which it turned out: 2 tiger bananas, wet bread, soy sausage (which smelled of seaweed and also tasted like seaweed), hard cheese, which was a bit like food and of course the day before yesterday's cucumbers (I almost broke a tooth on one of them). Ultimately, the strategic supply of candy was destroyed on the first night. Well, okay, as we were told - "An hotel has a store", where we actually went, in which there was such a list of products: hookahs, T-shirts, Arabic cookies, magnets and hashish (where in Egypt without it). And so our first evening ended (we returned to the hotel at about 11:58). We wanted to celebrate our arrival, naturally with alcohol and went to a bar. As I said the time was 11:58. However, our chump-shaped friend refused to serve us, because "we have a for klok twelve o klok" ...
I think you understood that it was only our first night at the hotel (by the way, about paid beer at $ 15 per mug) ...Well, okay, let's finish with the first night, since we rested for 10 days ...

So day two:

We really liked the outside of the hotel. Palm trees, lawns, cacti (which alerted me, because they are no longer planted in Russian hotels) ...And the view from our room was, to put it mildly, gorgeous ...Even considering that the hotel was located on the second line, it looked very good. The mood since yesterday has risen sharply and has fallen sharply: we have reached the sea...The free pantone, which was mentioned in the ticket, was not completed and, judging by the reliable information provided to us by Russian-speaking Arabs, it has been under construction for 5 years. In the end, our guide gave us advice to go to the pantone of a nearby hotel for $5(! ) a pass...
In the end, just to swim three times in the sea, we left several thousand rubles (on the eighth day it turned out that our tour operator agreed with a neighboring hotel that we could use the pantone for free ...But we never knew about this reported). Returning to the hotel, we realized that we were in the wrong place ...We were surrounded by Germans, Italians, Poles, British, French ...And the Russians were only those who flew in with us ...That is, 10 people, counting us ...Well, this is not to mention the lack of understanding (or not desire) of the Russian and even English language by the staff, long service (pizza "grill" = 1.5 hours of waiting), one and a half meter pool (of course in depth), theft ...

It is not worth going out into the city - you can lose ...time. Pointless shopping, where all things, food and sellers are the same...
During the 10 days of our stay, we saw the guide only twice, and if someone is interested in animation, then we found the animator on the eighth day of our stay at the hotel.

Well...of course the list is endless. Like a volume of "War and Peace" ...


And to believe or not to believe is your purely personal matter ...Go and check ...At your fifth point, feel the hospitality of Egypt.

However, if you are 45-77 years old and you are going to "relax" with your children / grandchildren, then I advise this hotel, just keep the latter away from the Arabs who rest in this hotel and especially from their wives bathing in a burqa ...(However, to it's worth going to see it).

There is no point in lying to us - draw your own conclusions ...Well, or look for adventure.

ps: there is no photo, because the camera was stolen.
