ATTENTION! THIS IS A MUNICIPAL HOTEL WITHOUT AN OWNER!

That is why there is such a mess. Royal Paradise is living its last days, and the unpretentiousness and illiteracy of Russian tourists allow tour operators to earn money. I am in Egypt for the fifth time, before that (were you lucky? ) everything was fine. Trust me, this is the first time I've seen it.
The fact that we were deceived, we realized back in Moscow: we had to decide something too quickly, the girl in the agency advised us too zealously about this hotel, we gave the money too hastily. Later, after reading the reviews, we tried to change it to some other option, but a three-day showdown with the agency (by the way, it is called Laguna Tour) did not lead to anything. I had to go to Royal Paradise, resentfully realizing that the Hilton, for example, would cost only 6 thousand more. However, taking off, we still hoped that everything would not be so bad.
But everything was bad. The first thing that caught my eye upon arrival was terrible dirt: dirty dishes on the tables, dirty floors, disgustingly dirty toilets (in all seriousness, I could not even imagine that this happens). At the reception, a Russian girl yelled at the staff to finally give her a room with hot water, because she "can't wash for three days. "

Despite the fact that we arrived at 12, check-in according to the rules of the hotel (as it turned out later, there were a lot of stupid rules in this hotel) was supposed to take place at two. We had two hours to finalize our opinion. It takes a long time to go to the beach - you need to go down the asphalt road, there is a construction site on the left-right (not that it interferes, but spoils the view). The beach is two-level: sunbeds upstairs and downstairs, right by the water. Descent into the water along rotten wooden ladders, during our vacation they tried to replace them with something more modern (something was drilled, screwed, prevented from entering the water). Immediately about the towels - I'm sure they don't wash them: dirty, often full of holes, always a little damp.
Our room was large and more pleasant than not: large old wooden furniture - the only thing that pleased in this hotel. Linens were changed once in a week.
But the worst is the restaurant. I call it that purely out of habit. This is a dining room. Dirty, poor, pathetic. I don’t discuss the quality of the dishes (because Egypt is always peculiar in cooking), but these empty plastic trays, this eternal lack of knives and forks, these screaming queues of Slavic cows in dressing gowns, this greed (you can’t take desserts yourself - a dirty little cook will cut off a tiny piece for you) , those constantly-dirty tables full of crumbs and leftovers, that eternal-third-glass-of-wine-for-Russians, those PLASTIC wine glasses at dinner, that no dessert spoons, that no-fruit-yourself - all this mayhem was just as ridiculous how terrible.
However, vacationers are worth this service. A hotel of the Russian and Ukrainian provinces, summer residents, habaloks, pot-bellied men yelling through the entire restaurant “out there, there is a trough with potatoes! ”. It was embarrassing every time you saw them. By eight o'clock everyone is drunk.
As for the bars - an indescribable disgust. Personnel in soiled suits stand between empty bottles - a game in the store. You ask for tea - it's over. Coffee is over. The finish! Vsio! In response to claims - laughter.
From the side of the tour operator (we had - for the last time, of course - Pegasus, Jeanne) - bulletproof calmness. To all claims - "relax". Well, we couldn't relax. I forced myself to write this review - GENTLE, BE CAREFUL, DO NOT ALLOW THIS HOTEL TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THIS HOTEL AT YOUR OWN COST!
