Savita: Contrary to expectations...

Written: 29 april 2009
Travel time: 11 — 22 april 2009
Write a review made a sense of gratitude to those who have done it before. After reading and digesting the information (not mistaken! ) we chose the right hotel, 100% corresponding to our interests. Which is what I wish everyone! The hotel, contrary to expectations, turned out to be even cooler! Especially after viewing the pictures from the official website of the hotel. . . (Guys, change the photo: the palm trees have long grown, and the landscape designer (Bravo! ) changed the surroundings of the territory beyond recognition! ) plantations! Struck the imagination and grandiosely located on the hillside of the hotel complex. Everything about the hotel. (See descriptions in other reviews, a lot is written and great! ) Read, compare, choose... I’ll say one thing for sure, you can find a better hotel, of course, Savita with her 5 * does not pull at the level of hotels like Marriott, Savoy... but , forgive, there and the prices!!!
was a depressing sight. Against this background, several dads looked favorably, carefully instilling in their 5-6 year old kids (carefully packed: suit, mask, fins! ) the skills of staying in the water. In general, no one can give absolutely objective advice: go-no-go. Sometimes people just amaze with the absurdity of their claims. I simply cannot deny myself the pleasure of describing one of these. We approached the table of representatives of the Tez-tour (choose an excursion), a young man, his face reddened with anger, furiously expressed his indignation, I could not understand what he was trying to achieve. Well, she asked... if you want to laugh - he needed a vacuum cleaner! He expressed indignation at the lack of a vacuum cleaner in a 5* hotel!! ! No, with the cleaning of his room - complete order, his things did not fit into his suitcases !! ! (“I have traveled all over the world, the vacuum cleaner was not found only in Vietnam, and now here... Apparently, civilization has not yet reached these places!
") As it turned out - he packs things in plastic bags with a vacuum cleaner !! ! To my caustic remark about the fact that in the whole civilized world, people do not go on vacation with a bunch of things that require vacuum packaging, he reacted sluggishly. (Not convinced me! ) Personally, at the end of my vacation, I had only one serious complaint: objectively, they don’t wash glasses at the pool bar, at best, they rinse under the tap! under gin and tonic disposable cups intended for tea! ) The second, possibly subjective, concerns animation. During the day we did not see it, as we sunbathed on a distant beach, and the evening starts at 22-oo, at which time we already went to bed. , once we managed not to fall asleep and we got to the Eastern show Three girls: one is not very young, (with forms), the other two are very young, (absolutely without forms),

they tried to portray a belly dance to an abnormally loud (small amphitheater! ) and monotonous accompaniment... The spectacle turned out to be so pathetic that I could not see it for more than 15 minutes and quietly faded away. We did not try to force ourselves with evening animation anymore. The fact is that the sun began to fry already at 7 in the morning, after 12 it burned mercilessly, so we woke up at 6 in the morning and went to the beach! (take your favorite place under the sun! ). Well, after lunch from 16 to 17-30. I WARN EVERYONE: you must leave the beach no later than 17-40! Further - how lucky... a foul-smelling fog covers the entire territory of the hotel instantly, before you have time to pull your shorts over your wet swimming trunks! I don’t know, maybe they fight harmful insects like that (after all, the desert! ) But this is also a very effective way to drive evening swimmers off the beach! About the resettlement in the room on the day of arrival. Yes, "check-in" from 14 to 15 hours is extremely unpleasant to wait, especially if you were brought to the hotel early in the morning,
and especially - after a sleepless night flight!! ! But this is the rule, and you can fight the rules set by the hotel managers, but it's useless. (I'll talk about some other unpleasant rules later. ) So - we were settled in one of the best rooms (1632) without baksheesh!! ! Right after we had lunch, around 13-45. Maybe those who gave money and settled earlier, but we were not sure that in case of non-scheduled settlement there would be a good room and did not take risks. And they didn't lose! Luxurious room on the 6th floor of the main building with a sea view and a balcony! I think that the guys at the reception appreciated the friendly and peaceful almost 5-hour wait of 3 (not at all young) aunts from Moscow! And it’s not at all true that the hotel staff is a complete rude! I assure you - a friendly look and a smile do not remain unanswered! Tipping was left only to the maid $ 2.5 per day and that's it !! ! The restaurant served themselves
who is not used to this - do not grumble at bad service, stock up on tips! They smile for nothing, but do not serve! The Egyptians are generally characterized by some arrogance (apparently, information about the former greatness of Egypt remained in the blood), therefore, to excessive show off on the part of our compatriots, they respond with outright rudeness and rudeness. The only thing that was constantly unnecessarily rude and unpleasantly dismissive in service was all the bartenders! Apparently the endless pouring of alcohol into glasses spoils the character! Well, it is necessary to take into account the fact that only the guys at the reception, the hotel guide, and representatives of the Tez-tour speak Russian. BUT!! ! Everyone else speaks excellent English, so if you want to be understood, take an English phrase book with you. (this is what helped me! ) More about the unpleasant rules - fruits are really cut in half, or in pieces, (if it weren’t cut, we would take them out of the restaurant with bags,
despite any prohibitions, and after they rot in the room, they would throw everything into the trash can. Because it makes no sense to stock up on food between all-inclusive feedings! ) In A, "hands alone" will not give much and there is no need to throw tantrums - come back again in 3 minutes, they will give you again and ask - did you like it, was it tasty? And in general, dear compatriots, past and present, well, don’t scandalize you for any trifling occasion - YOU ARE GOING TO RELAX!!! ! And I haven’t written about many things that make vacationers from different countries different, about the amazingly magical underwater world on the hotel reef, about the wonderful excursion to Ros Mukhamed... but I no longer have the strength to write further... Thank you, to the one who managed to read it all to the end! I wish you all a wonderful holiday!
