Commercials and tour operators will tell about the "fairy tale in reality", I will tell you how things are at the moment in fact in this hotel. And how the hotel is going through a crisis
The three of us arrived with a child, after an "additional fee" at the reception, we were settled in a double room overlooking the garden and put a third bed there, having previously taken out a table and a wicker chair on the balcony.
The hotel is practically empty. Internet is paid, more than $20 a week, we bought a 3 GB Orange card for $8 at a nearby market.

The cuisine is terrible, one meat dish for lunch and dinner, sometimes some additional meat dish is given in portions, as in besieged Leningrad. If, for example, the fried chicken runs out, it is replenished only when a queue of outraged tourists gathers. For breakfast of salads - six bowls of cabbage of different colors and cucumbers) Terrible abundance) I have not seen such wholesale savings in any Egyptian hotel (I don’t even talk about the rest).
But the most important thing is that the food is not only scarce, but also stale. For lunch, they eat what they didn’t eat for breakfast. Birds fly around the dining room and perch on food. What do they bring on their paws and leave behind? Nobody knows, and nobody reacts to it. I had all the symptoms of poisoning two days before departure. There is no medical center in the hotel. Simply no. If there is any case that requires the intervention of a doctor, you are driven across the city to the Domina Coral Bay Hotel and there - to see a doctor.
A very unpleasant aftertaste was left by the representative of the travel agency ANEX TOUR at the hotel. His name is Mahummed. His job is to offer tour packages in Egypt at prices one and a half times the average price in Egypt. Of course, for tourists who have come not for the first time and know the prices, it is very difficult to “suck in” their excursions.
For those who are in Egypt for the first time, Muhamed tells that they cannot go anywhere without ANEX TOUR, because the police will arrest them and send them back to the hotel, that their insurance policies will be recognized as unusable and other nonsense, which he apparently considers very cool marketing move) When Muhamed found out that we bought tickets for the same excursions for $ 30 cheaper, instead of the $ 130 he offered. he threatened that he would not clean our room) Moreover, when we met other tourists at the hotel, they talked about the same boorish behavior and attitude towards themselves from the representative of the tour operator at the hotel. As a result, all tourists, wherever they buy tickets, ride the same buses and boats) No difference)

Of course, I don’t know if this is corporate ethics or the concept of a travel agent, but in the place of management, I would pay close attention to such employees. In a crisis and job cuts, they can find a more competent replacement. I understand that everyone has their own work and perhaps even a "order", but hotel guests do not like, as in other things, and all people, when they are taken for idiots. And they don't like rudeness. Therefore, we personally will not go to this hotel again and do not recommend it to others.
