Good afternoon, dear visitors of this site.
This review is written to warn future tourists from wanting to stay at this hotel, and it will duplicate all the shortcomings of Melia Sinai written in the previous review.
Let's start….
Traveled with the whole family (wife + 2 adult sons and your obedient servant). Tour from Moscow via Biblio Globus, ak Transaero without any complaints.
When checking in, I was not initially going to give money for the room, because the view from the window doesn’t really bother me - I’m in the room only to go to the shower, relax or change clothes. The receptionist asked if you would like us to have rooms next to the children? I replied that it didn't matter. As a result, we got two neighboring standard, good rooms. The furniture is old, there are a lot of ants in the bathroom, which in no way draws on the declared "five" of the hotel. The room was cleaned daily, though sometimes they forgot to renew the shampoo and shower gel.
I fully support the author of the previous review about the Arab invasion of this hotel. I am not a nationalist and I think (thought for some time) that it is better to relax in the neighborhood with an Arab family than with the guys from Tagil. But the contingent of this hotel dissuaded me from this. Melia Sinai has its own laws: Arabs are allowed to skip the line everywhere - whether it's lunch / dinner (and this happened) or to the bar.
You can’t get on the pontoon, because these tribes (sorry, I didn’t pick up another word, but in this hotel there are more than 70% of them) hang on ladders for descending and raising into the water with whole numerous families. Russians, Slavs are kicked out of the pool if you are in a T-shirt, but Arab women “swim” in full uniforms in whole companies.
There are 3 restaurants on site. Basic all inclusive, a Bedouin restaurant on the beach (only for money) and an Italian A La Carte restaurant (one free visit per stay). Briefly about each:
The main one is soft-boiled, hard-boiled or scrambled eggs for breakfast every day, pasta and rice for lunch and dinner. There are no salads as such. There are separately chopped red and white cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers. And it seems that the supply of these tasteless vegetables to this country, as in the winter in Russia, comes from one state - Israel)). Of the fruits for 7 days, only apples, pears, green melons and bananas were seen, once figs and guava. Watermelons, ripe melons and mangoes for money at the beach bar ($1 plastic plate of melon or watermelon (6-8 pieces), $2 mangoes).
The Italian A La Carte restaurant deserves special attention - the appointment is made at the reception on the day of the visit from 10 to 12. They came, signed up, received coupons, and were in anticipation of a romantic dinner in ITALIAN! restaurant. Eeeee! Looking ahead, I’ll say - it’s good that you signed up for 19.
00 and managed to eat pasta for dinner at the Main, which, in principle, is also Italian)) at the reception, for some reason, we were not included in the list of “invited”, i. e. recorded and the restaurant was very surprised at our appearance. For half an hour we waited for the menu to be brought, another 15 minutes later they brought a salad (the composition of the salad was simple - they took chopped vegetables from the Main Restaurant, seasoned it and added a few crackers. Everything ingenious is simple! ). We waited another half an hour for the soup, and after another 20 minutes they came up and said that they would not be able to serve, because we were not included in their plans. . the evening was spoiled, the mood too, let's go eat pasta. .
After this, they didn’t even go to the Bedouin restaurant. .
The hotel shop is overpriced. They do not discount prices for cigarettes (a pack starts from $4), the rest can be negotiated. It is more diverse to take a taxi to Naama Bay - the cost of a taxi from the reception is $ 15.
I recommend to get out on the roadway and fit in for 10 bucks there and back. You can buy mango - 3 bucks per kilogram. Bargain everywhere and be satisfied.
Since almost all the excursions were visited on previous trips, this time we took a purely for the soul excursion on ATVs from Yaroslav (Yarik) at the entrance to the beach. 20 bucks for 1 quad. Everyone was satisfied. Recommend!
Funny and positive animators, but the entertainment program is compiled by the hotel management and it is at zero for them. Everything was limited to water polo and darts at 11.00 in the morning, beach volleyball at 16.00. ALL! In the evening, a meager semblance of entertainment such as "Guess the melody", the Egyptian show, the Fakir show, which took place for half an hour, and then have fun as you like. In short: if you want / do not want - you will drink))
As a result: the only and huge plus is the sea!
and the fact that during the days of our vacation a wonderful company of tourists from Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Tula and many other cities of our Motherland picked up at the hotel, which partly smoothed out the negative emotions from the service and all the rest of the negative. The rest, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired. The food would be more varied, but the animators' program would be more active and cheerful, nothing more is needed.
P. S. According to information from the staff, the owner of the hotel has recently changed and the quality of service is rapidly declining. The hotel is preparing for restoration and is living its last days.
