Hello to all resource participants!
Sixth time in Egypt.
From this tour we need the underwater world and the opportunity to take a break from everyday worries. Therefore, I am very loyal in my assessment.
This review is more for first timers.
They lived in the uppermost buildings to the left of the reception.
Number 461.
Settled quickly. No payment was required.
The room is standard and spacious. The balcony is small. This is probably the difference, because the neighboring one had a balcony twice as spacious.
For 10 pounds, the porter explained in detail the instructions for the safe, the location of the switches.
Even if you feel sorry for the money, all the information in the room is duplicated in Russian.
A small "coin" at the entrance is an unspoken tradition.
But one dollar by today's standards is probably too much.
Mosquitoes during this period in the evening and in the morning. Saved brought with a Raid.
The territory is green and well-groomed.
But the hotel is tired, although it was renovated in 2014.
The staff is friendly.
Special thanks to the girls at the front desk. There was a problem with the hot water boiler. Fixed within a day.
(I remind you that you came to an Arab country that writes from right to left. They have hot water on the left).
Cleaned every day and carefully.
Passports, vouchers, jewelry, money, smartphones must be kept in a safe!
The beach is clean. Pantone is normal. The weather was windy.
The coral is certainly killed by frequent visits, but there are many fish for the coastal zone.
Internet is free only by mail. Viber and other messengers are disabled.
Inside the hotel there is a paid entrance to wifi. At the reception you will be given access for $ 21 for a weekly visit. Very expensive.
For those who need internet, you can buy a Vodafone card at the reception for $7. Or climb 300 meters to the road to El Mercanto. There, in the Vodafone office, the card costs 5.
Just be sure to activate when buying from the seller.
For switching from Arabic to ENG.
And enter all activation codes, a very fun activity.
In the morning, a mandatory meeting with a guide from the tour operator.
It's not about excursions, but about the changed rules of being in the country. You need to surrender your passports and present a tour voucher and insurance. While you will be praised for excursions, the data will be entered into the computer. And in an hour and a half you will take all your documents from the tour operator's guide. There are three in the hotel.
Akhmed from Anekstur, through whom we arrived, of course, has the appearance of a cunning, experienced oriental merchant.
But he talks about excursions authentically.
I remind you that the excursion sold to you is his income. His name is on the check. Therefore, if you do not go anywhere at all, interest in you immediately disappears.
The general rule of communication with the hotel is: First, you sort out your problems at the reception. And if the hotel workers do not respond, then contact the representative of the tour operator.
And this is where the Eastern principle comes into play. You didn't buy anything from me, why would I help you. This is the reason for all the negative reviews here about similar problems. Although this is the direct responsibility of the representative of the tour operator in the hotel.
This subtlety must be taken into account.
But I haven't come across anything like it.
The most "sick" topic in the thread is nutrition.
Forget about the diversity of 2004-2012. The country is in crisis.
The current exchange rate is 1 $ - 18 pounds.
This is especially noticeable in El Mercanto, where most of the retail space is empty.
The main restaurant "Caravanserai"
You won't go hungry, but there was tension with the meat.
As before, an abundance of salads and greens.
There were 100 of us at once. Mostly Ukrainians. And the hotel management only on the second day managed to equalize the volumes.
But as a rule, we, gentlemen, are to blame for this.
The pizza is good.
Bottled beer just right.
Daily change of sweets. Although these are biscuits in a variety of versions and puffs with puddings.
Milk and muesli.
Grilled fried fish was very tasty.
Sausages, cheeses, sausages in tomato sauce.
Plenty of stews, sate and pasta.
Soups for a week never repeated. But we understand that the "first" of the European format. It is unlikely that you will see our classic soup or borscht there.
Packaged juices (mango, guava, orange, pineapple, apple) at the beach bar and at the bar of the Italian restaurant in the left wing of the main building (codenamed "Buhay Bar" : -)), which serves until 00.00. Although the bar is named after the girl.
Coffee machine in the same place and at the beach bar.
Strawberries, melon, watermelon, fried bananas, delicious ripe oranges, etc.
As for winter and crisis, the abundance of fruit is excellent!
Animation is good, girls and boys are trying.
Good evening programs.
Even if you just want to sit with a glass of cocktail.
We went on an excursion on a yacht towards the island of Tiran.
You can choose whether to buy excursions from a tour operator, or save $10-30 and take advantage of alternative offers.
The yacht and instructors will be the same. But when the wife slipped on the wet deck of the yacht and hurt her hand. I immediately thought about insurance. Which does NOT work with the alternative.
It should be noted that the guys who took us to diving, well done. They quickly provided first aid and urgently wanted to take us to the hospital for reinsurance. But it was only a big hematoma.
So choose YOU.
The free tour of the SOHO shopping center is for a two-hour stay in the evening. Dress warmly. Plenty of shops with souvenirs, shops and cafes to choose from. Do not be late back to the bus, otherwise you will have to fork out also for a taxi to the hotel.
In general, I am satisfied with the hotel and the trip.
Break out of the whirlpool of everyday life and our snowy expanses into a winter fairy tale with +26 C and the beauties of the underwater world.
It's fine.
That's why it's rated so high.
