I'll start in order! Rested with my wife in this hotel from 25.02. 14 to 9.03. 14. In Egypt for the 9th time and only 5 *. Tour operator Sanmar flight Kagalym TUI. There were no delays. In the light of recent events, they podsykili a little, but as always, the media exaggerated everything - everything is calm in Egypt! Flight is normal. They did not pay for the visa by writing ONLI SINAI on the migration card. The hotel is 10 minutes away.
At the reception we were greeted with hibiscus tea. And it started! After reading reviews about the hotel, we knew about connection balconies (one balcony for several rooms) and asked for a room with a private balcony. We were told that there are no rooms with a private balcony, but for $ 20 they will find it just for us! After paying $20 and getting the room key, I heard a conversation nearby. A group of tourists requested rooms with a connecting balcony to be together. To which they were told that there were only individual ones left, but for $ 20 they would only find you! ! ! ADVICE - do not ask for anything - this is an excuse to have money from you.
Look at what number they will give, and then change it if you don’t like it, and another piece of advice - it’s useless to ask the hoteliers for help in settling on the Internet, they promise everyone, but at the reception it will only amuse the arrogant Arabs.
We settled in the 4th building, room 4317. The room was clean, everything worked. Televisions in all rooms are antediluvian. They write that the refrigerator does not work, but they did not try to turn it on! ! ! (when checking out, the cleaner pulls out the plug from the socket - they save electricity! ) Our cleaner Walid appeared in front of the room, like a genie from the bottle, and asking if the LORD needed something, he pulled out a pack of dollars and offered to exchange them for small ones. I exchanged twenty for $1 for a tip. MAIN ADVICE - if you want to have a great rest, so that everyone smiles at you and fulfills your desires, DO NOT TIP! ! ! $1 works wonders - and it's only 30 rubles! ! ! The cleaner cleaned up at our request (well, how he cleaned up, as well as everywhere he made the bed and twisted the swans)
Now the ALL TRUTH about the hotel! ! !
Tour operators hush up the information that this 5 * hotel is only for Italians - a grill bar on the beach is only for them. They have their own restaurant, their own animation, their own amphitheater, deluxe rooms and special treatment. All this is explained by the fact that the Italian tour operator pays extra to the hotel for its tourists, and for Russians and other foreigners this hotel is 4 *! The lobby bar is paid, and it's in the top five! ! ! First time like this! ! ! I will write about food later.
The beach is dirty and with old sunbeds, but there are enough sunbeds for everyone. Beach towels are in terrible condition and are issued at certain times by the pools. Constantly run out of towels, then cards on them and you have to drag them wet to the room. (We always take a rope and clothespins with us to dry clothes on the balcony. ) You can swim from the pontoon only in calm, and this is rare. An alternative is a shallow lagoon carved into corals!
Now about food and service. Rami is a bartender at the beach bar.
He is a terrible lazy person and only cares about his "business" - he sells free alcohol for $ 10. TIP - promise him that you will buy alcohol before leaving and you will always have any drinks at the sun lounger. Try to drink from disposable glasses, the dishes are washed terribly, the glasses stink! At the LUNA pool bar, you can have a bite to eat standing in a huge queue and get a handful of french fries with one piece of fish or a wing and limp lettuce! This bar is the last resort after 17:00 and is open until 23:00. Nina's bar is open until sunset and a snack without a queue, only the bartender and the cook are like sleepy flies with sour faces! In the main restaurant, the food is meager and monotonous, the worst of the nine hotels where I was, was nowhere! March is strawberry season - the restaurant alternates melon, dates, bananas, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits and apple slices in water WHERE strawberries are in the $5 store! ! ! Service in a restaurant is a special topic!
There are queues at the entrance - there are no places and they are not in a hurry to clear the tables (say that you smoke and want to go to the veranda, it is freer there) There is a better option! Feed the waiter $1 a day, and you always have a laid table, which you want, all in flowers and drinks are brought at the snap of your fingers! ! ! (just keep in mind that the waiters change places every 5 days) Funny, on the fish day they fed fish heads (the fish itself must have gone to the pasta!! ! ! ) ATTENTION! ! ! DO NOT ask the waiters to bring the WINE, go yourself! ! ! I have repeatedly observed how bartenders and waiters pour unfinished glasses into one or add wine to a dirty unfinished one and bring it to you ! ! !
Animation appeared on March 1. Wonderful Russian team led by Nelly, many thanks to Nastya and Andre! ! ! LIGHTERS! ! ! A week later they were transferred to Baron and a boring team appeared under the leadership of an Arab who did not speak Russian, it sucks!
About weather!
The first two days a strong wind blew and it was impossible to swim. It rained for two second days in the morning and the sun shone in the afternoon! Then there was complete relaxation! On the penultimate day, the same rain fell, and on the day of departure, the charm was flooded! Thunderstorm and global flood! There is no electricity. The TV does not work, the candey is dead, there is no beer (the pump does not pump), water from the balcony flows into the room, when you leave the hotel, electricity discharges throw lightning from lamps into puddles! Complete CALAPS! ! ! On the roads up to half a meter of water! We thought we weren't leaving! NEFIGA! ! ! All OK!
Two words about the guide Aladin. Like all guides, he sucked in his expensive excursions and immediately lost interest in those who did not take them. But Aladin surpassed everyone - at first he said that if he did not register us for a flight, we would not fly away.
Then he began to call us one by one for an appointment (we lost a whole hour) When he found out that we were not interested in excursions, he boiled up and said that he was not responsible for us and that we should not contact him and our insurance is valid only on the territory of the hotel, oh what I scrawled in the voucher. (THIS IS BONDS!! ! - Insurance is valid throughout Egypt, and does not depend on who and where you are traveling with! Read the insurance conditions in detail! ) But there was a plus at the meeting with the guide, while we were waiting in line for an appointment with the Tsar guide, I met great guys! ! ! Positive and reasonable people! ! ! We organized our vacation ourselves, it was positive from us! We have made a lot of friends (say hello to Karimchik, fur coat seller, when he was born in Egypt it was a HOLIDAY!! ! ) It all depends on you! Whatever you call a yacht, so it will float! Even in such a shabby hotel you can have a great vacation! ! ! People! We create our own vacation! GLASS OF WATER HALF FULL! ! !
