Отель, в который возвращаться не стоит A hotel not worth returning to

I'll start from the very beginning. We arrived at this hotel around 5 am. Settled quickly, for this 5+ on a five-point system. The room is quite tolerable for living, although it is old and the bath is terrible. But it didn't bother me at all, since the goal was active recreation, not spending it in bed in front of the TV or in a champagne bath. The hotel area is large, well-groomed, there are few plants, but this is probably just a problem for the whole of Egypt, little grows. Although the territory of the same Hilton will be greener. There is a pool with three slides. Everything would be fine, but after 3-4 skiing, you need to warm up, because the water in this pool is like in a font, however, like at sea. Why the sea water is cold, I realized a little later. Here the entrance to the sea is from pontoons, there is no beach as such. The depth there is immediately impressive, 12-20 meters or more. Therefore, the water does not warm up. Well, probably in the summer, at +50 ° C outside, you can cool off. But I couldn't get warm at all for the first week.
There is a heated pool. The temperature is not much different from the water in the pool with slides, but you can swim.


There is also a hookah bar on site. They actively invite people to come to them, tempting with the presence of cool imported, not locally produced, cocktails. Hookah - 5-7 dollars, cocktails no more than 5 dollars. We went in, sat down, picked up a "wine card" (pinocolada, Sunrise tequila, etc. , etc. ). They called the waiter, ordered a stake, pinocolade and Sunrise tequila. Said. Brought a hookah and disappeared. We sit, so we smoke. 5 minutes smoke, 10, no cocktails. We invite the waiter, we ask where the cocktails are cool. Which ones do you want? Well, we repeated the order from the proposed list. No, he says, we have such, whiskey, vodka. Thank you, we say, we don’t need such cocktails. We smoked a hookah, if you can call it a hookah, and left. I do not recommend visiting this place if you still choose this hotel.
There are no fruits in the hotel (melon, strawberry, physalis, orange, persimmon, which knits hard, that's all). Freshly squeezed juices for a fee, did not try. Usually in hotels with 5 stars it is free. But this hotel apparently saves so much, but more on that later. So, the food is quite tolerable, there is a choice, you will not stay hungry.

Animation. Their animation is designed for 7 days. I took a tour for 14 days. Therefore, there is nothing to watch the second week, and actually the first one too. It's like a hobby group. Believe me, I travel often. Beginning of December 2019 - Cuba, end of December 2019 - Dominican Republic. There is something to compare with. Live music is songs with backing tracks, which actually cannot be called live music. More suitable name is karaoke.

But I did not pay attention to these disadvantages, since I was immediately interested in diving and wakeboarding.
However, our tour operator guide Nefer tur told me that they only have diving in the tour set (quad bikes, camel riding, diving and riding a banana with a bun). Diving, as it turned out, no more than 5 meters. At the same time, when asked about the availability of weikboard, he told me that they have it forbidden and nowhere to be found. It's good that I have a tongue, and with my strong desire, I will get everyone. As a result, I found a diving center on the seashore. It was there that I also arranged diving for 7 dives up to 20 meters (Tiran Island, Mohammed), it was super. In the same place, I designed skating on the weikboard. Rode 5 times, the impressions are excellent.

With our guide, we arranged a trip to Jerusalem for two, while he told us that everything would be super and did not report any possible problems. Arriving at the border, as a result, the Israeli customs let my girlfriend through, but not me. I had to go back to the hotel. But it's not a matter of 5 minutes. We left the hotel at 19.30, and I returned to it already at 8.00 the next day.

All frozen to the bone. If we had been warned about such a possible incident, we definitely would not have gone and began to lose our time for almost a day.

Since I am a rather active person, well, I don’t like to just sit on the beach or drink in a bar, we decided to play tennis. They gave us rackets, we got to the court. On the court, I noticed that my racket was cracked on the side and simply docked, I did not pay attention to the other side. Hit the ball 2 times and my racket just folded. As a result, we were on the court for no more than 10 minutes, of which 2 minutes to get to it and 2 minutes back. They say you broke, pay 55 dollars. At the same time, they watched video from CCTV cameras and said, here, the video shows how they gave you a whole racket. But take a look at the photo I attached. Do you see in the photo that the shoes at the weikboard are no longer new and torn in some places? Or a photo of the driver. Do you see that the suit is torn?
And they saw on the video that the racket was intact when they gave it to me. Paid. What to do if the hotel somehow needs to update its inventory or help its irresponsible staff, who, as it turned out, does not check the integrity of this inventory when it is handed over by previous players, do not waste your budget.

In general, the wishes are as follows: if you want to take any inventory from them, check it. But this is not a fact that will help, the inventory is cheap, aluminum. Yes, in general, be careful, and if a leg of a sofa breaks from wear and tear, and you sit on it, be careful, you will be to blame.

We booked a visit to the a la carte restaurant. For objective reasons, they could not visit him. Approached the girl, asked if it was possible the next day. This girl answered in a sharp tone, as if we were taking away her bread, that it was impossible, your visit had burned down.

I tried my luck the next day, there was another girl, her name is Olga. She said no questions asked, would this day and time be right for you? Thanks to this girl Olga, you can see her openness, experiences with the guests. More such people. This girl is the nicest thing we met in this hotel. And if you are not a diver or wakebodist, then there is essentially nothing to do in the hotel. I chose the hotel in haste, especially of course I didn’t read the information. And it would probably be worth it. And then it's up to you.
