Recently arrived from Sharm Plaza. Impressions remained quite contradictory. On the one hand, well done for staying afloat in such a difficult economic situation: the hotel is working, there are quite a lot of vacationers, the prices are cheap. There are many empty hotels around. My friends and I tried to calculate - how much the hotel is left from our payment for the ticket, and no matter how they twisted it - more than $ 50 per person for 7 nights does not work. Well, how can you provide vacationers with everything you need for that kind of money? At the same time, it's pretty good. It is for this reason, I think, that one can close one's eyes to some shortcomings and not judge very strictly. I'll tell you in more detail, since I myself re-read a lot of reviews before the trip. My friend and I arrived in the evening, sent us to dinner, after which they immediately gave us a room in the main building 5, under the reception and the dining room, which turned out to be very convenient. Our friends arrived on a morning flight, they, of course,
offered to settle immediately in a room in the 2nd building closer to the sea for $ 10, this is normal. Overpaying for proximity to the sea does not make sense, because the time difference is exactly 2 minutes walk. The rooms were both good, everything worked and did not fail in a week. Abdul cleaned well, but we didn't litter. Although every day he asked: should I clean it? Sometimes they refused, sometimes they only changed towels or asked to replenish gels, shampoos. There was no extortion of money. They treated him with chocolate and seeds. Beds, towels - snow-white, beds and all furniture made of solid wood, mattresses are very comfortable. In general, apparently, the hotel was positioned during construction as quite chic - wood, marble everywhere, just dilapidated over the years, and there is not enough money for reconstruction, vacationers would be fed. The territory is well-groomed, a lot of flowers and greenery, clean. The beach is very large, there are a lot of places. Towels are issued, but we suspect
that they are not erased, although we can be wrong. The beach is clean, sunbeds, like old mattresses, many require repair or replacement - again a crisis. The food is not very chic, but for the money that we pay, it’s even nothing, we ate enough, no one left the dining room hungry. Yes, the choice of meat dishes is not large, what they have is very economical, they just don’t come up with anything: either the chef himself puts it on a plate, or they cook it in different halls, and they put the plates in only one place, crush the meat into small pieces, mix it with everything in the world that in the end you won’t find meat, I, as a true meat-eater, had to insist that, among other things, meat was put on a plate. In general, as for me, the cook does not cook very well, the meat was often tough and tasteless. Vegetables were in assortment, fruits - not enough: pomegranates, grapefruits, oranges, guava, sometimes dates, bananas (once even in chocolate, but hidden in a corner, in a closed vat,
where no one looked, but my friend accidentally looked). The eternal problem was: either there was no tea, or sugar, and when they brought it, the water ran out. So everyone runs around, then they pour water, then they throw a bag of tea, and when they bring sugar, then there are no more spoons. And laughter, and sin, as they say. They don't actually have spoons. To try the so-called soup, you had to wait a long time until the waiter brought a spoon. Table setting was carried out only with a knife and two forks, this has never been seen before. They fry pancakes, put them in a vat, there is nothing to get them out of the vat, there are containers with marmalade, coconut flakes and black cumin honey nearby, each with a fork, I ask: how to get a pancake and how to pour honey with a fork? Looks, shrugs. The next day they put a fork in pancakes, but they did not change a spoon in honey. Bottles with vinegar, with oil were signed in the first days, then the labels disappeared, when you ask what is what, they look,
they sniff, pass something to each other, but the labels never appeared, and then the oil ran out. I was surprised by the rather strange idea of the cook about the children's table - there was nothing except sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes and oatmeal. Packaged juices are generally available, but they are not poured for everyone, and the waiters in the restaurant and on the beach shake them up and present them like fresh juices, but already at $ 2, and interestingly, there are enough pomegranates, grapefruits, oranges, but fresh juices are not pressed from them, strawberries, mangoes - they haven’t even seen skins anywhere, but they carry fresh juices, because only 3 types of juice are delivered to them in packages: mango, guava, strawberries. I accidentally saw juices in a bar under the counter by the sea. So don't get fooled by the fries! A good point was that on the last day the bracelets are removed, but you can eat in the dining room, which is not practiced in all hotels. There is no free Wi-Fi anywhere except the reception, but there is almost none there either. The animation program is very weak,
it would not hurt to drive the boys out of there at all, than such animation - better than none, in the evening they turn on music, drunken vacationers dance, and they are with them.
If you leave the hotel and go to the road, you can take a minibus or taxi for $ 1 for two to get to the Old Market. Highly recommend, prices are several times lower than even a year ago. Buy leather bags for $10-20, towels for $2-4, travel bags and backpacks for $7-15, teas, spices, cool ointments for back and joint pain, scarves, fruits and vegetables. Dollars can not be exchanged for pounds, they will still be counted at the bazaar at an unfavorable rate, but if you buy up in Ragabe or the Metro near the market, it’s better there in pounds, they also count in pounds in pharmacies, otherwise you will overpay in dollars, because in A pharmacy can buy a lot for a dollar. It is more profitable to change dollars at the airport or at the hotel. If there are questions, ask. I myself will not go to this hotel again, because I like to relax in different places.
