Лето среди зимы Summer in the middle of winter

We had a good rest in Regens. The hotel has many pros and cons. Very large, green, by the standards of Egypt, the territory. Own heated water park, separate for children and adults. The heated pool is there. The heating sometimes doesn't work, but you should talk to your tour guide. companies and with employees at the reception. The hotel staff are quite friendly and cheerful, many are trying to learn how to speak Russian correctly. (They are rude and do not understand, only rednecks and fifochki. Do not forget, you are resting, and they work almost seven days a week, from morning to evening for $ 150-250 a month. ), Animation in the hotel is at an average level, who wants to have fun and play sports so everything is fine, but do not expect big entertainment programs, performances and performances, as in some hotels with excellent animation, and there will also be no enchanting show. The hotel has its own pier in the sea, long and safe. There are no corals there, mostly sand, but swimming is convenient and safe. There are fish, but few. But on the left along the coast there are two more piers: the first one is closed for repairs, but you can go and swim among the corals and see the living creatures of the Red Sea for free (subject to the presence of masks and snorkels. ), you can. The second pier at another hotel is paid $ 5-10 per person, but under the supervision of an experienced lifeguard instructor (For especially suspicious... Although they are not responsible for visitors from other hotels. ). The hotel itself does not pull on the top five, even "Economy", a solid four. The food is good but monotonous. (Especially breakfast. ) No juices, no ice cream, no variety in fruits. Almost all fruits are finely chopped (so that they don’t miss the rooms, mostly: apples and oranges. ), but it’s convenient to make a fruit salad with jam and yogurt. There is also little seafood (crabs cut in half, double-shell shells, a little bit of squid, fish, sea cucumber, and a couple of shrimp. ). (To whom this is not enough, take vouchers to elite hotels for a different price. ). In Egypt, it is customary to bargain not only in the markets, but also in all shops and excursion shops. The first price is always overpriced from the one for which they can sell, two to three times (learn to bargain in advance in everything). Fixed prices only in state stores, such as "METRO". If there are no price tags (haggle), then the goods have two prices: cheaper for locals, more expensive for tourists (everyone wants to earn money). It's good if you have a local friend, but he should go shopping without tourists. In Regens, as in many other non-Elite hotels, the water is purified and desalinated only for the needs of tourists, and the greens are watered with a liquid fraction from the sewer, so there is a smell during watering, and there are a lot of flies during the day (they do not bite, but they always interfere rest). In the evening there are a lot of camaras, you can’t sit on the balcony much, you won’t relax. Fumigators, in our understanding, do not help (you need to put three or four plates at once, you can use the number bulbs. ). We went from "INTOURIST", our guide was no (the worst guide in the hotel). If you do not take excursions from him, he says that you should not approach him with questions. He met us a day later (they settled themselves, and found out where and what to be, also themselves. ). You can not approach the notice board and information about departures, it does not update it. Even those who bought excursions from him, do not expect help. (Friends had problems when leaving the hotel, it had nothing to do with it. ) The hotel has five restaurants by appointment, I recommend: Italian and a pizzeria. (tip: smile, you are on vacation. And there may be bonuses. ) We didn’t take anything at the hotel, we went over the fence, and there are a lot of shops to the right or left, just choose with whom to communicate, be neater and don’t rush shopping. Ask the price, check the quality and ignore the annoying barkers-deceivers (everything that they say, only on condition of a more expensive purchase. ) and be sure to bargain. They also offer guided tours at more reasonable prices. We liked the young seller of perfumes, oils, ointments, teas and popyruses on the left side. His name is Ahmed or our Dima. He is always well-groomed and tidy, offers different quality goods at different prices, with the ability to evaluate it and buy later. He speaks Russian well, is cheerful and sociable. If possible, makes a discount, or a bonus (a gift or a little more volume of perfume or oil. ). We took excursions from him, we liked it (advice: take one, check it out, if you like it, take another. Extreme is better to take from the guide. You can save money, go by yourself, but you need to know where. ). Travel by sharmal in a blue minibus $ 1 per person, negotiate before boarding, pay on arrival. When you check in, do not pay for the best room and do not ask for it (you may not get what you want), but on the contrary, you will get a bad one and pay for a normal one (judging by your wishes... you can pay for nothing. ). Entering the room, check the functionality of sockets, light bulbs, air conditioning, toilet, shower, safe, door lock, doors to the balcony and the availability of all towels. If you liked the room, then you can give a "thank you" at the reception to the one who allocated the room to you. If you don’t like it, you have the right to change the number once for free, explaining good reasons, without being rude, good-naturedly and with a smile (you will always have time to be rude, nervous and ruin your mood and rest. ). And don't be rednecks - let's tip if possible, maybe even pounds of them.
