Parody of an Egyptian-style hotel

Written: 29 april 2010
Travel time: 22 — 28 april 2010
I will make a reservation right away - I am a rather sophisticated tourist - I went to Turkey, and to Egypt, and to Europe (Greece, Italy, Cyprus, etc. ).
We went to Rehana with a large company of 15 people (families with children, and adults who do not drink - so that you do not get the impression that this is a broken company). We returned today. I hasten to leave a review - so that someone does not repeat our mistake in choosing a hotel.
Of the pluses, I repeat for everyone - only a beautiful territory.
Now for the cons.

Check-in as everywhere from 14.00h. - but for 30 dollars. offer to move in immediately. We decided to wait - look around, go to the sea, etc. They asked - where is the luggage room (which is in normal hotels), where you can leave things. It turned out that the natives are not familiar with this. Things are left right on the street, but oh well, we laughed - we went to the sea. We arrived at 14:00. - they led us to check in - they led us to a "standard" room, according to the porter's expression, where just in front of us, before our eyes, they painted the wall with paint with a roller. The smell was terrible of course. Then they understood the meaning of this curtsey - the natives wanted us to pay extra for a room without paint. They took things - went to swear. We quarreled - they gave us a normal room at no extra charge overlooking the lawn and the playground. The very stay at the hotel was accompanied by constant skirmishes with the staff - they were rude, they molested women, in the bar they suddenly announced in front of your nose that from that moment the drink was paid (although we were confronted by the Germans, who were given everything for free). Well, okay, anyway, we mostly went on excursions - we went to Israel, to Sinai, dived from a boat.
When they began to give keys and cards from towels on the day of departure, we were told to give bracelets - and they said that now we have no right to use either the territory, or the restaurant, or the beach, but must sit at the reception until our bus (this means from 12.00 to 19.30) or pay extra 200 dollars. We did not give away the bracelets - we went everywhere and used everything. And people were sitting at the reception - there was nowhere for an apple to fall - what an accommodating people we have after all. We turned to the representative of Teza - but this Honey is still a swindler - he said that we have such rules and this is a worldwide practice. Well, just the world practice is that in normal hotels no one forces you to sit on suitcases without food for 7 hours.
In general, we did not pay anything, we came to the reception at 7 o'clock - waited for the bus and left.
