the travel agency did not warn that the Belarusians needed an Egyptian visa when departing from Warsaw - they said they didn’t need it, most likely......
From the airport to the hotel 18 km. We were driven for two hours. The driver made circles around the peninsula, from hotel to hotel, winding up the mileage. Passed by the same places two or three times. The meaning of the action was not clear to me. Although no, on the way they brought some Ahmed.
Hotel. Aloha shores resort - old and tired, everything is shabby and dirty. The hotel was built by an Italian about twenty years ago, and then sold to an Arab. Since then, there has been no investment more expensive than a can of paint in this hostel. Everything that you will see and touch is all 20-15 years old. The Internet is only at the reception, so all the tourists are constantly sitting there. But since there are not enough sofas for everyone at the reception, the less happy ones sit outside and feed the mosquitoes. Those who are in the building feed the mosquitoes too. There is no internet in the rooms. Of the amenities in the room, a safe and hot water, no shampoo, no toothpaste, no bathrobes, no slippers,... nothing. Not even glasses or a kettle. But there is an ashtray, despite the fact that smoking in the room is prohibited. Linen with stains, blankets with holes from cigarettes. Here are four stars for you. The water in the pools is ice-cold, no one warms up. There is an exit to the sea from the pier and immediately a depth of 30 meters....This is what is visible, and maybe deeper. There is absolutely nothing for kids to do there. Coastal reefs and rocks - every day someone is covered in blood. Gape-get it. A little wave and access to the sea are locked. And that's it. No, not all) every day access to the sea is closed from 12 to 13. Current. Speed, according to the rescuer, up to 12 km / h. Then the force of the current decreases. The swimming area is 40 by 10 meters. It is impossible to swim comfortably, as there are a lot of people. Plus clowns who are in fins and wetsuits. They cannot enter the water and exit it along the ladder quickly and create a traffic jam. And so you swam, bumped into the water, the current blows you onto the reefs, and you can’t get out of the water, like ten more people in front of you, and you are struggling with the current and the waves that throw you on the pier structure, but everyone - another "diver" in fins raskaryachilsya on the stairs.

Food is a canteen, sometimes it’s generally difficult to find something edible, especially for breakfast, you don’t even want to consider half of the food, let alone try, and even for this you have to stand in line for half an hour. all half-baked and tasteless, crunchy on the teeth, raw baked potatoes, the same fish and everything else. The same piece of turkey will be fed to you for several days: first it is baked whole, then sliced, then fried in dough and finally goulash....until you eat all) the vegetables are all weathered and dried. I understand that the food is prepared in advance, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ and everything... but not so much in advance that the tomatoes and cucumbers turn white. fruit is a separate song - where do they even find this garbage? Finger-sized sour bananas or plum-sized persimmons? In the evening, you may have to eat standing up - there are not enough tables. In vending machines with juice - water tinted with juice, cola is the same. Animation... It is, but it would be better if it were not. After a couple of days, a fat animator, with a stuck smile of a person who has stopped in development, begins to cause a gag reflex. I suspect that it is she who writes positive reviews of the hotel and herself personally, since Ahmeds cannot write in Russian. Tourists have fun mainly with alcohol from the store. Alcohol on all-inclusive is horror. From plastic glasses. Vodka Finlandia- spirit of Egypt. . . No comments.
The hotel guide from Ithaca, as usual, tried to sell excursions and entertainment at exorbitant prices, for example, her shopping trip costs $ 20 per person, and a taxi there costs $ 3 per car... The rest is the same style. There is nothing to do in the hotel after sunset, boredom. Constantly play Russian hits 15-20 years ago. Or Arabic hits) there is nothing special to do in the city either - shit shops with junk. No attractions. If you go here, then in the season and for seven days, no more, on a hot ticket, so as not to spare money and time later. Tourists are mostly Ukrainians and Wehrmacht veterans, diluted with Poles and Belarusians. There is segregation - the Hans will drink from cups and glasses, Russo tourists from disposable plastic cups, the waiters will not even come to you. The staff is pushy and rude. Choose carefully, but choose) the only thing that I liked was the cleaning in the room - the person really tried, even crushed termites on the terrace in the evenings).
And the icing on the cake is check-out today at 12 noon, and departure tomorrow at three-thirty. What will you do with children and luggage, without food, drink and shelter 15!!!!! ! hours are of no interest to either the Ithaca staff or the hotel staff. Families with children extended the hotel for a day because of this. For a family of 4, it cost an additional $80. Room 48+4*8(food).
A four star hotel is a laugh. I lived in a two-star, East Time hotel in Minsk, but it was a cut above - the cleanliness in the rooms was such that you could eat from the floor, luxurious, new satin linen, about European three-star ones, like Best Western wanted, generally keep quiet. So one star for you gentlemen.
