Initially, I wanted to write a more negative review, but after a couple of weeks, the unpleasant little things somehow dissipated, so I’ll just write only about the main + and - for me personally.
In Egypt, the 9th time, there is nothing to compare with.
Rested with my son 4.5 years 23.09. -05.10. 2018.
Pros:
• Beautiful hotel grounds
• Good reef for me - lots of fish
• As for me, very tasty food (there were also suspicious dishes, but I did not dare to try them??? ? , very tasty pastries)
• Friendly staff.
• Possibility to use an iron (pre-revolutionary yet, without steam, but working).
• Well, I am silent about the presence of the sea - it goes without saying??? ?
Minuses:
• THE BIGGEST MINUS for me - it turns out that in this hotel in the sea you can "legally"?? ? ? swim from 7 in the morning, when the lifeguard comes to work.
Well, or do as I and other vacationers do - climb / climb over the fence to the pier and swim from dawn, while there is calm, while there is no crowd, which one of the rescuers drove into a heap to the steps, it was so convenient for him to watch everyone. From buoys to buoys, it was also impossible to swim with him. Attempts to talk to him did not lead to anything, there was a one-sided monologue-or, the key meaning of which was "I will have a problem because of you. " In general, I swam normally until 7 in the morning, until the last couple of days he began to send a security guard who, smiling, said that you couldn’t go across the bridge, but you could walk along the corals ? ! . . What is that supposed to mean? ! Well, I went for the "corals", I came, he was not there, I went over the bridge.
I went to guest reletions, she confirmed that the pier is closed until 7 in the morning until the lifeguard arrives, this is such a hotel policy, currents ... Well, if I am a master of sports in swimming and I swim normally in those currents that are sometimes stronger, then almost not felt , why should I or those who normally float on the water and do not feel interference in this, have to wait for a lifeguard and graze like chickens near the steps? We should have talked to him about this, but we had already flown home. I recommend reviewing the "policy" of the hotel. Warn people when you check in, get people a receipt when you check in that they are familiar with this information about currents and risks, write it on the pier in large letters.
The hotel management is worried about its reputation if someone suddenly drowns, and that their guards mockingly send them to go into the sea along the corals, that some people sit on the trestle beds in the morning instead of enjoying swimming in the sea - this does not affect the reputation of the hotel in any way? Of course, for those who came to swell and sleep until lunch and are not aware at all that there is a sea nearby, this is not a problem for them, but there are many people who fly to Egypt not to lie down near the pool (I don’t swim in pools at all, a couple once they came in and then at the request of the child for half an hour, I won’t say what kind of water is there), don’t drink and hang out for free, don’t lie down and look at the sea or wander from the shore over prickly stones or lie down on them, namely for the sake of the sea - to swim in it ! For example, I have to swim an hour a day, during the day I can’t do it - I have a small child with me who doesn’t swim, the only time is in the morning while he sleeps.
And this is the first hotel in Egypt, in which I did this in the morning feeling like some kind of criminal, on the last day I no longer wanted to quarrel with the security guard and spoil my mood. There were many outraged by this fact, many adults who, due to their equipment, could not climb through the barriers and stood ankle-deep in water until 7 in the morning. I asked everyone to come to the reception and discuss this issue, and not be indignant at the pier with each other, but only I and one of the women who swam with me until 7 in the morning came. Maybe that's why the hotel management is not aware that people want to swim from sunrise, and not after the rescuer arrives at work, that you can’t swim from the shore, except to wander with a child in the tides and jump in the waves near the shore, a little further already stones and hedgehogs.
• Killed rooms. The furniture, and especially the doors to the entrance and the bathroom, will soon be completely rotten, especially from below and disintegrate. Sink and toilet were leaking.
The hair dryer in the bathroom was all battered, but kept in a pile, I was afraid that it wouldn’t fall apart in my hands, but everything is ok). Yes, this is not the main thing and you can ignore it, but it’s also not very pleasant to be in a room and use things made / built under Tutankhamun in a hotel that is positioned as 5 stars.
• The food, as mentioned above, is delicious, but if everything was fine with breakfast (sometimes only the queue for an omelette, by the way, which was fried by the nicest man, always admired him - to stand in the heat (and at 8:00 the sun was already roasting normally), at three stoves, remember who ordered what, clearly distribute orders to everyone and always be so smiling and friendly, although no one even greeted him except me, at least I never heard), then lunch and dinner are a continuous quest - find a place, find appliances, find a napkin, it seems that you have already found a place and then a surprise - there are no plates anywhere, while I rushed to all points, to find at least some size, they brought 5 pieces, but there was already a queue behind them, snapped and they are gone again. Hooray, there’s a plate - tadaaam, there’s a queue for the grill ... while I waited for the lulakebabs to the child, I bring it, and he says, I’ve already eaten rice and cucumbers, I don’t want anything else ... In general, there were often queues for everything, but because
I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t eat meat (sometimes I had to stand in line in the evening only for grilled meat for my son), then I didn’t have to stand behind all this, and in this regard it was easier for me. Yes, and you can turn a blind eye to this, which I did, but sometimes it really bothered me.
• They did not allow to extend the number, asked for at least an hour, they did not give it.
• They put me up near a night bar with football and karaoke… on the night we drove in there was someone “singing”. I asked to change the room not for me, because of the child, they said there were no places, and this room is just a suite compared to others (it’s scary to imagine a not very good number), and the bar is paid, karaoke is paid, there is very rarely someone rests. Well, all right, knowing this fuss with exchanges of numbers “tomorrow”, it is not known what they will change for and whether the day is tied to the number, even if they rarely yell under the windows, they stayed.
In general, maybe Marta is not aware, of course, but after the end of each animation, everyone is invited to this bar to sing karaoke for free. And they yell there until 2 o’clock for sure, because on the night of arrival I went to bed at about two and no one was going to disperse there. Fortunately, there was an air conditioner, the rumble of which drowned out these drunken cries a little, I had to sleep only with the air conditioner on. And one night at about two something happened to the electricity, cut down all over the hotel. While they tried to turn it on several times, these comrades just started yelling songs in unison. I already wanted to go out to them or talk or sing, but they turned on the light, the air conditioner hummed and was able to fall asleep. In general, Marta, it’s better to say that there are no free rooms, I think I’m not the only one who doesn’t like it when they lie about what becomes obvious the next day.
• There is a mini club on the territory of the hotel (the child did not want to stay there, I can’t say anything about the girls, because
ran there only once, everything is decent inside, the children constantly ran with some kind of crafts), on the territory of which there are slides, swings, some climbing frames, plus that it's all under cover, but during the day usually everyone is on the beach, and in the evening after the closing of the mini-club, it was impossible to get into these slides / swings, because this territory was closed on a turn-key basis. This is not clear to me: during the day the child is by the water, and in the evening, when after dinner you could play with other children on the playground at least before the children's animation, this could not be done. Weird…
In general, we had a good rest, because we are used to not paying attention to the little things and what you can close your eyes to), you can live there, but I do not recommend the hotel. I won't be back at least until the renovation is done and the lifeguard's work schedule is changed : )
