Sol Y Mar – Anex tour. September 21.2010
Review of Sol Y Mar (+ photo report) the whole truth.
Remember the main thing:
1.3. 000 rubles
2. Holidays abroad (sea, sun, etc. )
In a nutshell, why choose this hotel:
1. Price. 3.000 rubles - 7 days, 8 nights. Flight, 5 stars, All Inclusive. FOR TWO
2. Because Sharm El Sheikh
3. Because this is not the first time in Egypt and they flew to rest and relax, bask in the sun, and not for excursions
Anex tour is a separate song.
Pros:
1. The guys FOUND us for a week for 3.000 rubles for two 5-star hotel. About the hotel - later. But the tour, after all, was found.
2. Issued quickly.
3. They didn’t take the fuel surcharge (a trifle, but nice), explained that they pay the surcharge for tourists themselves, and thus attract customers. Such a small bonus. Maybe.
Minuses:
1. Managers do not give accurate information about the hotel. Either they hide it or they don't know. Example: 3 times specified - the hotel has its own pontoon. We were told "YES" three times. Three times! Lies. The hotel, as it turned out, DOES NOT have its own pontoon.
There are nearby - left and right. On the right, there is even the longest one, it reaches right to the end of the reef.
2. Next. When meeting at the airport near the bus, it turned out that we were not on the list. Mlyayayayaya ...They called names three times, searched three times ....In short, it does not appear on the lists. But, at the same time, the manager, looking at our voucher (by the way, it was Marina. THE SAME. Hello to everyone who came across her : ) ), said: “Yes, get on the bus! ". For half an hour we waited for the two remaining tourists. When everyone began to get nervous, it turned out that they were waiting for us. Marina climbed into the bus, and loudly shouting out our names, she began to wonder if we were here. The double affirmative answer did not convince her of this. I had to SHOUT that we are here. After that, the bus left. For reference: Marina's hearing is all right.
3. When placing at the hotel, we were again not found in the lists. Here, yat. No, the main thing is that everyone was found, but we were not.
The first manager at the reception said that he did not understand Russian well (a lie, when they need to they understand Russian) and handed us over to the second manager. He HONESTLY searched for a long time. Then he said that he also did not understand Russian well. Marina understood Russian. Marina was sent to find out what and how. In the end, they kind of found us. Like, the Arabs don't understand anything in letters or numbers. We don't believe. OK. Settled. Special thanks to Marina for this. But an unpleasant aftertaste remained. You understand.
4. The main minus that caused the most unpleasant impression: when you checked into the hotel, your passports were immediately taken away, citing the fact that, they say, it is necessary to carry out registration quickly, they say, while you settle down, you will be tinkering for a long time, finally you will forget, bala-bala-bala … The passports were returned the next morning. Complete shit. We knew how to get out of such situations, but the impression is shitty, the people were in shock, who was the first to go through this.
5. Fun. We are currently writing a review for the hotel.
Outside the smoke is terrible and the stench. There's a fire somewhere, or something else. We'll find out later. UPD: everything is fine, the lawn mower is working, the dude filled it with the wrong fuel and pulled the lever super-briskly. Cool: a manager with a tennis racket runs around the lawn mower. Guess for what purpose.
Now, sobsno, about the hotel itself.
We will tell in the following order: territory - food - rooms - beach.
For fans of animation - it is. But we were not interested in it, we cannot evaluate the quality. They didn't go for it.
Territory
This is really the former Rauf. And the entire local population knows him exclusively as Rauf. Even employees of other hotels, wondering where we live, were surprised at the mention of the name "Sol y Mar". And when you say: Rauf. They answer: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauf. " In general, they do not have a high opinion of him. I wonder why the hell they called him Solymar? Across the road - Rauf Hospital; ).
On the territory of the hotel there really is a BED of an artificial river. It's the direction. Water is not allowed there now (to be more precise, it is drained once every 2 days. A terribly smelly mass periodically appears on the surface of the water. We suspect that it is gamble. They did not check. ) Stinky, of course. But by the end of the week, the water was drained, the channel was cleaned, water was given once. Chunks of stinking mass continue to float to the surface. Where do they get them? Hm…
There are pools (we are talking about pools near the Beach building). Not big and not small. There is a small jacuzzi with 4 mini geysers. When entering the large pool - be careful: the depth is 1.70 cm IMMEDIATELY. Those who counted on a gentle descent immediately broke off and rowed closer to the shore.
There is also a plus: there are few people in the pools and this is convenient. Always free sunbeds. Despite the fact that there are Germans, and Poles, and English speakers, well, and ours, of course.
The paths on the territory are clean, but it is better not to walk along the riverbed. The sight is not for the faint of heart. Smells.
There are lawns. Not everywhere, but there is. There are bushes. So-so, but there. There are flowers, but few.
There is a strong impression that the work on the arrangement and landscaping are in full swing. In a year or two, it will probably be beautiful (if the channel is better cleaned or blown up). For now, be patient.
Corps. There are three of them - Beach, Club and Casino. The casino is not open yet. There is a renovation going on. Beach and Club really look like Soviet pioneer camps. Solid, good pioneer camps: tall, bright and with cheerful drawings (see photo report).
For those who are fastidious, for those who like to relax in Turkey, or trying to compare with it: it's hard to compare. You have chosen a vacation for 3.000 rubles. That says it all. If you don't like the food - choose hotels for 13.000 rubles, there are a lot of them in Sharm. If you don’t like construction sites nearby, choose hotels that are more expensive (it’s not a fact that construction won’t appear there).
If you don't like the furniture in the room, choose more expensive. If you don’t like something at all, why the hell did you come here? ? ? You did not have more than 3.000 rubles?
All questions about worthless animation, old furniture, and in general all claims - go to the travel agency and buy BEFORE. Guys, be realistic, this will save you time, money and nerves. We repeat once again: ALWAYS remember (see paragraph 1. ) - a vacation for 3.000 rubles is a vacation for those who have a brain. If you are a beginner, a lazy person, or a snob, buy more and grumble.
The summary: it is not horse-radish to balk. Perhaps, in terms of the totality of the elements, the hotel encroaches on 5 *, but in reality it is a solid TROIKA. 3* and that's it! Once, maybe, it will be better, but now - 3 *. That says it all.
Nutrition.
We had an all inclusive. Everything is the same as in other hotels. Well, the assortment, perhaps, is a little simpler (and what did you expect from 3.000 rubles?
): tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, melons, olives, dates, olives, beef, chicken, fish, rice, pasta, fresh and stewed vegetables, yogurt, muesli, onion, sauces, sweets, cheese, ham-sausage. Enough to not die of hunger. Once they gave octopuses.
Yes, the plates here are simpler, the tables are not the newest. The choice of food is not the most diverse. But once again we remind you - (see paragraph 1) THIS IS A REST FOR 3.000 rubles. Who is not satisfied - pay more and do not complain that you do not like it.
Feature: residents of the Beach building can eat for free only in the Beach restaurant and bars. Club, respectively, as well. That is, you will be given water and food NOT in your building. But for money.
Beach bar - general : ) Freebie : )
Bars. In buildings, on the beach and near the pools. In the bars - alcoholic drinks (local liquor), soda and UPI (namely UPI, because it's not juice: ) ). French fries, pizza, burgers. If eaten with ketchup, it's edible. Without - tear off and throw away.
I'll have to ask - what kind of ketchup, it will come in handy : ) Yesterday we spied on the name of ketchup - hellmans.
About drinks, for those interested, we will write, of course, separately.
Free drinks from all-inclusive:
Beer - VERY light, but not nasty. Normal. We have worse in Moscow.
Wine - red and white. Normal. An analogue of our wines in packages. Don't get poisoned.
Whiskey, rum, vodka: LOCAL : ) If you drink it straight without a drink, you are cool. With us, only one man risked it. We never saw him again at dinners or on the beaches. Such brave people are very rare. Respect and respect.
Rum-cola, whiskey-cola, vodka-cola and all that stuff… it feels like everything has the SAME taste. But there is a degree.
Cocktails...Yes, yes, there are a couple of free cocktails. Magic something (we don’t know how exactly, no one could say) - we called it “Traffic Light”, since it consisted of three colors: red, yellow, green + vodka.
Taste: sour, sweet, sour and bitter (when you get to vodka). There is a pina colada. Have you seen Sambuca yet? There are also imported drinks, but, of course, for SEPARATE money.
From the unusual: we met a German who ordered “zwei sugar, bir, und vodka”. To the question: “Bir und vodka? ? ? ”, Standarten Fuhrer boldly answered“ Ya! Port wine! ". After which he was seen by the pool in the evening, singing "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles! " - 1 time. Strong man.
A la carte restaurants. There are several.
In one they even offer one (attention! ) HA-LAV-NY dinner. Calm down, comrades. This is the same as in the main canteen, only you will not run for food yourself, but the officers will serve you. As the hotel manager said when booking us for dinner: "No fireworks. "
Other similar restaurants - for a fee and must be recorded in advance. On the beach, by the way, event marketing from the fish restaurant "Perl" (Pearl) worked hard all week. Friends who are brave - go ahead, for dinner.
The funny thing is that this is exactly the same restaurant where the beach toilet is located and the stinky river ends its journey. Keep in mind.
Feature: the hotel manager asks to sign up for a la carte (including the Pearl) restaurant at the reception. The guys from, sobsno, the Pearl itself, on the beach they say - NIIII, niht nada. Sign up, friend, right at my place. It's strange, bicosis, there is no skidon, and why such a mess is unclear.
For lovers of hookah - there is a place to smoke on the territory. When we were, there was SHISHA-MAN, Ads (that's the name of the dude), och. funny fellow, cheerful, sociable, invites everyone to Naama Bay, says that he has a friend there, Mohammed, he, like, will smoke a shisha for free, pour alcohol for free, bala-bala-bala ...In short, not communication, but pleasure . But there is no entourage (the price is 15 local tugriks, about 3 bucks in terms of normal). Near the stinky river with a specific smell….
In short, smoke a hookah more actively, and everything will be OK.
For those who like to smoke a hookah in the entourage, just walk along the beach in the evening to the left. After 1-2 hotels there is a Bedouin bar, or something like that: carpets, pillows, multi-colored light bulbs, music (optional). In a Bedouin bar (if you are not renting a room at this hotel), of course, they will offer you "twenty dollars, an oshena is cheap. "
After a short bargaining and the message, "since it's so expensive, we'll go, " you will, of course, be informed that "the Russians are fucking liars, I know. " We are not in a hurry, we repeat that we either take money or not - we look at the result. He is always the same - he agrees to 15-20 pounds. Normal price. BUT (! ) as always, money - after, when you have already smoked. Otherwise, you will be looking for your tugriks and shisha men for a long time. First - a contract, then we do what we agreed, then - payment. This is not Russia for you.
Feature: as is often the case, Russians are referred to as "NOT VERY".
The stump is clear, not very, bicosis, compatriots drunk in zyuzyu, behaving aggressively, cannot cause sympathy for bartenders. The obsequious attitude of the same bartenders towards the Germans and everyone else, EXCEPT for ours, immediately attracts. The issue is resolved quickly: ALL OTHER, except ours, of course, shake hands with the bartenders.
For beginners, of course, this is a joke, but in fact, when shaking hands, the bartender is given his favorite "VAN MAGIC DOLLAR". After that, everything is normal: “DruK, what are you doing, Moscow is awesome! What will you? ZaFtra parihadi”, etc. Normal guys.
See for yourself: in the influx of people who want to drink, damn it. Bartenders in the park, only familiar faces stand out from the crowd. Glasses with ice fly like hot cakes, so it's better to feed and see a smiling physique. For the budget conscious, you can wait until the crowd subsides, politely ask for what you want and get it. A little longer, but the result is the same.
In general, both bartenders and waiters and room service in THIS hotel understand perfectly in Russian. As usual, "VAN MAGIC DOLLAR" will speed up their knowledge of the Russian language. But you don't have to.
The hotel has entertainment, but more often paid. Disco, for example (music is often in the style of a song about ducklings). Entrance is free, drinks are for money, etc. Bowling is $12 per game. The tracks are old, the screens are old. Only one name can be used on the screen. The skittle lift often fails. You can spend half a game waiting for the track to be restored to working order. Billiards: 4 tables (1 snooker and 3 American). 1 hour game - $10. The tables are old. The cloth is torn in places. The balls are slightly warped, but, in general, if you need exactly billiards, then it is.
Number fund.
We had a superior. SUPERIOR, comrades, how! But you should not deceive yourself. Superior in this hotel is the most standard room. They just named him that. To take more actively. The room is clean, big. There are no balconies.
1 at the very beginning) you will not find extreme depth here. Behind this - pliz, to guides for scuba diving and other things or to other hotels, but not in this area (Nabq). Here - KAAAAAAAIF. The entrance to the water is SO smooth that you don't have time to notice how from a pleasant ankle-deep water, they turned into a pleasant swim.
Very smooth entry. For couples with children, children, those who do not keep well on the water - KAIF.
During the day, the water warms up so that it is already hot near the shore. People sometimes lie in shallow water, putting their hands under their heads, getting high (well, essno, they burn, bgyyyyyyyyy). Closer to sunset (5-6 pm local time), local moray eels and other animals begin to crawl out of the sand. It’s not scary, because they won’t turn their backs on a big person, but this, of course, does not cause joy, especially when you see everything yourself through the mask.
After sunset, it is forbidden to swim in the sea (moray eels, night jogs and other poisonous biting creatures) and in the pool (chlorine).
The coral is dead (that stub around which the majority is spinning). It is there, but it is not enough. There are fish in it. For those who are for the first time, or for children - a real buzz - without the risk of being blown into the sea to look at the fish.
After 12 o'clock the normal low tide begins. Who will swim far with a mask - keep in mind: it blows normally in the sea, you won’t even notice, back - with some effort. If you are confident in yourself - be quiet! If you're not sure, don't swim. The normal depth is indicated by a modest white flag (it is also a signaling device for the nearest coral with fish) and a light boat is laid up. Further - at your own peril and risk.
Another point: this is the CLEANEST entrance to the water for 2-3 km to the left and right of the hotel.
NO PONTOON. Anex tour deceived you bastards. The hotel does not have its own pontoon. Better shit on it. There are pontoons to the right and left of the beach, very close, but they are of no use - they all stand on THAT SAME coral reef.
Not a single one gets to REAL depth, but there is enough algae, moray eels and all sorts of shit in the water above the roof. The secret is in the flow. From Solymar (Rauf) the current carries everything to the right. EVERYTHING carries. It carries a lot. Beeeee…
Towels. Initially, you will be given red cards according to the number of people in the room. The principle - came to the beach - gave the card - received a beach towel - rested - returned the towel - received the card back. The cards are simply there, without indicating the number, you will not confuse. In fact: he came - he gave - he received - the time was 14-15 hours, it was hot, he hesitated, (he wanted to eat, sleep, drink, etc ... ) - he came to give a towel - they say to you: "Potato is good after six o'clock in the evening. " Lie, pigs. The card must be issued upon return of the towel. It's just that they are too lazy to wash and dry towels, so they carry such crap. Know and use.
Feature: annoying sellers of excursions and all kinds of entertainment are constantly scurrying around on the beach.
They are NOT hotel managers. And these are NOT managers of Anex tour. The guys offer you, as a rule, the following set: excursions THERE, where the Anex tour takes, but cheaper.
On average, they are cheaper by 10 bucks. Friends, we urge you to be vigilant: as a rule, these excursions DO NOT CONTAIN full insurance. And if something happens to you (scratched on corals, broken arm and leg) - you yourself knew everything in advance. So if you are ready to risk your life for a $10-15 discount, no one will stop you.
The second point: these are excursions without a guide who speaks Russian. We will tell you for sure: the Aneksturovsky guides also have Russian just like our language. But at least they can understand the words. They teach him for 10 months to get certified. And discount tours will be held either without a guide, or (at best) with a guide who speaks English.
You can also get a massage there on the beach.
There are separate beds with white sheets and under a small canopy. Sea, sun, shadows above you. You are being massaged. 1 hour costs $65. You may disagree on the first day. Bargain. If you bargain well, there is a chance that you will get a good discount.
In general, if you know how to relax and love, you will have a good rest there. BUT the hotels themselves by no means deserve the high-profile status of FIVE STARS. In general, it is not clear how he got 5 stars, who gave them to him, when and, most importantly, why. The hotel is a triple. And point.
Review of Sol Y Mar (+ photo report) the whole truth.
Remember the main thing:
1.3. 000 rubles
2. Holidays abroad (sea, sun, etc. )
In a nutshell, why choose this hotel:
1. Price. 3.000 rubles - 7 days, 8 nights. Flight, 5 stars, All Inclusive. FOR TWO
2. Because Sharm El Sheikh
3. Because this is not the first time in Egypt and they flew to rest and relax, bask in the sun, and not for excursions
Anex tour is a separate song.
Pros:
1. The guys FOUND us for a week for 3.000 rubles for two 5-star hotel. About the hotel - later. But the tour, after all, was found.
2. Issued quickly.
3. They didn’t take the fuel surcharge (a trifle, but nice), explained that they pay the surcharge for tourists themselves, and thus attract customers. Such a small bonus. Maybe.
Minuses:
1. Managers do not give accurate information about the hotel. Either they hide it or they don't know. Example: 3 times specified - the hotel has its own pontoon. We were told "YES" three times. Three times! Lies. The hotel, as it turned out, DOES NOT have its own pontoon.
There are nearby - left and right. On the right, there is even the longest one, it reaches right to the end of the reef.
2. Next. When meeting at the airport near the bus, it turned out that we were not on the list. Mlyayayayaya ...They called names three times, searched three times ....In short, it does not appear on the lists. But, at the same time, the manager, looking at our voucher (by the way, it was Marina. THE SAME. Hello to everyone who came across her : ) ), said: “Yes, get on the bus! ". For half an hour we waited for the two remaining tourists. When everyone began to get nervous, it turned out that they were waiting for us. Marina climbed into the bus, and loudly shouting out our names, she began to wonder if we were here. The double affirmative answer did not convince her of this. I had to SHOUT that we are here. After that, the bus left. For reference: Marina's hearing is all right.
3. When placing at the hotel, we were again not found in the lists. Here, yat. No, the main thing is that everyone was found, but we were not.
The first manager at the reception said that he did not understand Russian well (a lie, when they need to they understand Russian) and handed us over to the second manager. He HONESTLY searched for a long time. Then he said that he also did not understand Russian well. Marina understood Russian. Marina was sent to find out what and how. In the end, they kind of found us. Like, the Arabs don't understand anything in letters or numbers. We don't believe. OK. Settled. Special thanks to Marina for this. But an unpleasant aftertaste remained. You understand.
4. The main minus that caused the most unpleasant impression: when you checked into the hotel, your passports were immediately taken away, citing the fact that, they say, it is necessary to carry out registration quickly, they say, while you settle down, you will be tinkering for a long time, finally you will forget, bala-bala-bala … The passports were returned the next morning. Complete shit. We knew how to get out of such situations, but the impression is shitty, the people were in shock, who was the first to go through this.
5. Fun. We are currently writing a review for the hotel.
Outside the smoke is terrible and the stench. There's a fire somewhere, or something else. We'll find out later. UPD: everything is fine, the lawn mower is working, the dude filled it with the wrong fuel and pulled the lever super-briskly. Cool: a manager with a tennis racket runs around the lawn mower. Guess for what purpose.
Now, sobsno, about the hotel itself.
We will tell in the following order: territory - food - rooms - beach.
For fans of animation - it is. But we were not interested in it, we cannot evaluate the quality. They didn't go for it.
Territory
This is really the former Rauf. And the entire local population knows him exclusively as Rauf. Even employees of other hotels, wondering where we live, were surprised at the mention of the name "Sol y Mar". And when you say: Rauf. They answer: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauf. " In general, they do not have a high opinion of him. I wonder why the hell they called him Solymar? Across the road - Rauf Hospital; ).
On the territory of the hotel there really is a BED of an artificial river. It's the direction. Water is not allowed there now (to be more precise, it is drained once every 2 days. A terribly smelly mass periodically appears on the surface of the water. We suspect that it is gamble. They did not check. ) Stinky, of course. But by the end of the week, the water was drained, the channel was cleaned, water was given once. Chunks of stinking mass continue to float to the surface. Where do they get them? Hm…
There are pools (we are talking about pools near the Beach building). Not big and not small. There is a small jacuzzi with 4 mini geysers. When entering the large pool - be careful: the depth is 1.70 cm IMMEDIATELY. Those who counted on a gentle descent immediately broke off and rowed closer to the shore.
There is also a plus: there are few people in the pools and this is convenient. Always free sunbeds. Despite the fact that there are Germans, and Poles, and English speakers, well, and ours, of course.
The paths on the territory are clean, but it is better not to walk along the riverbed. The sight is not for the faint of heart. Smells.
There are lawns. Not everywhere, but there is. There are bushes. So-so, but there. There are flowers, but few.
There is a strong impression that the work on the arrangement and landscaping are in full swing. In a year or two, it will probably be beautiful (if the channel is better cleaned or blown up). For now, be patient.
Corps. There are three of them - Beach, Club and Casino. The casino is not open yet. There is a renovation going on. Beach and Club really look like Soviet pioneer camps. Solid, good pioneer camps: tall, bright and with cheerful drawings (see photo report).
For those who are fastidious, for those who like to relax in Turkey, or trying to compare with it: it's hard to compare. You have chosen a vacation for 3.000 rubles. That says it all. If you don't like the food - choose hotels for 13.000 rubles, there are a lot of them in Sharm. If you don’t like construction sites nearby, choose hotels that are more expensive (it’s not a fact that construction won’t appear there).
If you don't like the furniture in the room, choose more expensive. If you don’t like something at all, why the hell did you come here? ? ? You did not have more than 3.000 rubles?
All questions about worthless animation, old furniture, and in general all claims - go to the travel agency and buy BEFORE. Guys, be realistic, this will save you time, money and nerves. We repeat once again: ALWAYS remember (see paragraph 1. ) - a vacation for 3.000 rubles is a vacation for those who have a brain. If you are a beginner, a lazy person, or a snob, buy more and grumble.
The summary: it is not horse-radish to balk. Perhaps, in terms of the totality of the elements, the hotel encroaches on 5 *, but in reality it is a solid TROIKA. 3* and that's it! Once, maybe, it will be better, but now - 3 *. That says it all.
Nutrition.
We had an all inclusive. Everything is the same as in other hotels. Well, the assortment, perhaps, is a little simpler (and what did you expect from 3.000 rubles?
): tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, melons, olives, dates, olives, beef, chicken, fish, rice, pasta, fresh and stewed vegetables, yogurt, muesli, onion, sauces, sweets, cheese, ham-sausage. Enough to not die of hunger. Once they gave octopuses.
Yes, the plates here are simpler, the tables are not the newest. The choice of food is not the most diverse. But once again we remind you - (see paragraph 1) THIS IS A REST FOR 3.000 rubles. Who is not satisfied - pay more and do not complain that you do not like it.
Feature: residents of the Beach building can eat for free only in the Beach restaurant and bars. Club, respectively, as well. That is, you will be given water and food NOT in your building. But for money.
Beach bar - general : ) Freebie : )
Bars. In buildings, on the beach and near the pools. In the bars - alcoholic drinks (local liquor), soda and UPI (namely UPI, because it's not juice: ) ). French fries, pizza, burgers. If eaten with ketchup, it's edible. Without - tear off and throw away.
I'll have to ask - what kind of ketchup, it will come in handy : ) Yesterday we spied on the name of ketchup - hellmans.
About drinks, for those interested, we will write, of course, separately.
Free drinks from all-inclusive:
Beer - VERY light, but not nasty. Normal. We have worse in Moscow.
Wine - red and white. Normal. An analogue of our wines in packages. Don't get poisoned.
Whiskey, rum, vodka: LOCAL : ) If you drink it straight without a drink, you are cool. With us, only one man risked it. We never saw him again at dinners or on the beaches. Such brave people are very rare. Respect and respect.
Rum-cola, whiskey-cola, vodka-cola and all that stuff… it feels like everything has the SAME taste. But there is a degree.
Cocktails...Yes, yes, there are a couple of free cocktails. Magic something (we don’t know how exactly, no one could say) - we called it “Traffic Light”, since it consisted of three colors: red, yellow, green + vodka.
Taste: sour, sweet, sour and bitter (when you get to vodka). There is a pina colada. Have you seen Sambuca yet? There are also imported drinks, but, of course, for SEPARATE money.
From the unusual: we met a German who ordered “zwei sugar, bir, und vodka”. To the question: “Bir und vodka? ? ? ”, Standarten Fuhrer boldly answered“ Ya! Port wine! ". After which he was seen by the pool in the evening, singing "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles! " - 1 time. Strong man.
A la carte restaurants. There are several.
In one they even offer one (attention! ) HA-LAV-NY dinner. Calm down, comrades. This is the same as in the main canteen, only you will not run for food yourself, but the officers will serve you. As the hotel manager said when booking us for dinner: "No fireworks. "
Other similar restaurants - for a fee and must be recorded in advance. On the beach, by the way, event marketing from the fish restaurant "Perl" (Pearl) worked hard all week. Friends who are brave - go ahead, for dinner.
The funny thing is that this is exactly the same restaurant where the beach toilet is located and the stinky river ends its journey. Keep in mind.
Feature: the hotel manager asks to sign up for a la carte (including the Pearl) restaurant at the reception. The guys from, sobsno, the Pearl itself, on the beach they say - NIIII, niht nada. Sign up, friend, right at my place. It's strange, bicosis, there is no skidon, and why such a mess is unclear.
For lovers of hookah - there is a place to smoke on the territory. When we were, there was SHISHA-MAN, Ads (that's the name of the dude), och. funny fellow, cheerful, sociable, invites everyone to Naama Bay, says that he has a friend there, Mohammed, he, like, will smoke a shisha for free, pour alcohol for free, bala-bala-bala ...In short, not communication, but pleasure . But there is no entourage (the price is 15 local tugriks, about 3 bucks in terms of normal). Near the stinky river with a specific smell….
In short, smoke a hookah more actively, and everything will be OK.
For those who like to smoke a hookah in the entourage, just walk along the beach in the evening to the left. After 1-2 hotels there is a Bedouin bar, or something like that: carpets, pillows, multi-colored light bulbs, music (optional). In a Bedouin bar (if you are not renting a room at this hotel), of course, they will offer you "twenty dollars, an oshena is cheap. "
After a short bargaining and the message, "since it's so expensive, we'll go, " you will, of course, be informed that "the Russians are fucking liars, I know. " We are not in a hurry, we repeat that we either take money or not - we look at the result. He is always the same - he agrees to 15-20 pounds. Normal price. BUT (! ) as always, money - after, when you have already smoked. Otherwise, you will be looking for your tugriks and shisha men for a long time. First - a contract, then we do what we agreed, then - payment. This is not Russia for you.
Feature: as is often the case, Russians are referred to as "NOT VERY".
The stump is clear, not very, bicosis, compatriots drunk in zyuzyu, behaving aggressively, cannot cause sympathy for bartenders. The obsequious attitude of the same bartenders towards the Germans and everyone else, EXCEPT for ours, immediately attracts. The issue is resolved quickly: ALL OTHER, except ours, of course, shake hands with the bartenders.
For beginners, of course, this is a joke, but in fact, when shaking hands, the bartender is given his favorite "VAN MAGIC DOLLAR". After that, everything is normal: “DruK, what are you doing, Moscow is awesome! What will you? ZaFtra parihadi”, etc. Normal guys.
See for yourself: in the influx of people who want to drink, damn it. Bartenders in the park, only familiar faces stand out from the crowd. Glasses with ice fly like hot cakes, so it's better to feed and see a smiling physique. For the budget conscious, you can wait until the crowd subsides, politely ask for what you want and get it. A little longer, but the result is the same.
In general, both bartenders and waiters and room service in THIS hotel understand perfectly in Russian. As usual, "VAN MAGIC DOLLAR" will speed up their knowledge of the Russian language. But you don't have to.
The hotel has entertainment, but more often paid. Disco, for example (music is often in the style of a song about ducklings). Entrance is free, drinks are for money, etc. Bowling is $12 per game. The tracks are old, the screens are old. Only one name can be used on the screen. The skittle lift often fails. You can spend half a game waiting for the track to be restored to working order. Billiards: 4 tables (1 snooker and 3 American). 1 hour game - $10. The tables are old. The cloth is torn in places. The balls are slightly warped, but, in general, if you need exactly billiards, then it is.
Number fund.
We had a superior. SUPERIOR, comrades, how! But you should not deceive yourself. Superior in this hotel is the most standard room. They just named him that. To take more actively. The room is clean, big. There are no balconies.
1 at the very beginning) you will not find extreme depth here. Behind this - pliz, to guides for scuba diving and other things or to other hotels, but not in this area (Nabq). Here - KAAAAAAAIF. The entrance to the water is SO smooth that you don't have time to notice how from a pleasant ankle-deep water, they turned into a pleasant swim.
Very smooth entry. For couples with children, children, those who do not keep well on the water - KAIF.
During the day, the water warms up so that it is already hot near the shore. People sometimes lie in shallow water, putting their hands under their heads, getting high (well, essno, they burn, bgyyyyyyyyy). Closer to sunset (5-6 pm local time), local moray eels and other animals begin to crawl out of the sand. It’s not scary, because they won’t turn their backs on a big person, but this, of course, does not cause joy, especially when you see everything yourself through the mask.
After sunset, it is forbidden to swim in the sea (moray eels, night jogs and other poisonous biting creatures) and in the pool (chlorine).
The coral is dead (that stub around which the majority is spinning). It is there, but it is not enough. There are fish in it. For those who are for the first time, or for children - a real buzz - without the risk of being blown into the sea to look at the fish.
After 12 o'clock the normal low tide begins. Who will swim far with a mask - keep in mind: it blows normally in the sea, you won’t even notice, back - with some effort. If you are confident in yourself - be quiet! If you're not sure, don't swim. The normal depth is indicated by a modest white flag (it is also a signaling device for the nearest coral with fish) and a light boat is laid up. Further - at your own peril and risk.
Another point: this is the CLEANEST entrance to the water for 2-3 km to the left and right of the hotel.
NO PONTOON. Anex tour deceived you bastards. The hotel does not have its own pontoon. Better shit on it. There are pontoons to the right and left of the beach, very close, but they are of no use - they all stand on THAT SAME coral reef.
Not a single one gets to REAL depth, but there is enough algae, moray eels and all sorts of shit in the water above the roof. The secret is in the flow. From Solymar (Rauf) the current carries everything to the right. EVERYTHING carries. It carries a lot. Beeeee…
Towels. Initially, you will be given red cards according to the number of people in the room. The principle - came to the beach - gave the card - received a beach towel - rested - returned the towel - received the card back. The cards are simply there, without indicating the number, you will not confuse. In fact: he came - he gave - he received - the time was 14-15 hours, it was hot, he hesitated, (he wanted to eat, sleep, drink, etc ... ) - he came to give a towel - they say to you: "Potato is good after six o'clock in the evening. " Lie, pigs. The card must be issued upon return of the towel. It's just that they are too lazy to wash and dry towels, so they carry such crap. Know and use.
Feature: annoying sellers of excursions and all kinds of entertainment are constantly scurrying around on the beach.
They are NOT hotel managers. And these are NOT managers of Anex tour. The guys offer you, as a rule, the following set: excursions THERE, where the Anex tour takes, but cheaper.
On average, they are cheaper by 10 bucks. Friends, we urge you to be vigilant: as a rule, these excursions DO NOT CONTAIN full insurance. And if something happens to you (scratched on corals, broken arm and leg) - you yourself knew everything in advance. So if you are ready to risk your life for a $10-15 discount, no one will stop you.
The second point: these are excursions without a guide who speaks Russian. We will tell you for sure: the Aneksturovsky guides also have Russian just like our language. But at least they can understand the words. They teach him for 10 months to get certified. And discount tours will be held either without a guide, or (at best) with a guide who speaks English.
You can also get a massage there on the beach.
There are separate beds with white sheets and under a small canopy. Sea, sun, shadows above you. You are being massaged. 1 hour costs $65. You may disagree on the first day. Bargain. If you bargain well, there is a chance that you will get a good discount.
In general, if you know how to relax and love, you will have a good rest there. BUT the hotels themselves by no means deserve the high-profile status of FIVE STARS. In general, it is not clear how he got 5 stars, who gave them to him, when and, most importantly, why. The hotel is a triple. And point.
