I read a lot of negativity and mentally prepared for the struggle and hardships. But what was feared did not happen, but what happened... what happened. So, in Egypt, a myriad of times. Hotels from VIP to budget fives. In sunrises for a long time, with repetitions and with pleasure... only in Sunrise Makadi 14 visits. I love winter yogi, Diamond chose because of the protection from the winds and blat in the person of the front manager and just a wonderful person Mr. Hashem Lotfi, the cat moved to Diamond from CPM.
We went with girlfriends, the three of us settled in family 2010. We had a two-room apartment, but there are also one-room families. The room after cosmetics, plumbing is crying... as a result, they changed the faucet, cleaned the sewer, fixed the boiler (there were interruptions in hot water), and did the preventive maintenance of the air conditioner. It's amazing, because someone before us lived, endured and did not complain... I don't understand. The view of the pool is nicer than the standards of sea-view with half-horizon roofs. Confused TV set with kinescope and only in one room. They promise to put plasmas everywhere soon. The beds are comfortable, linen, towels, bathrobes flawlessly. Begged for a tour of the rooms for the future. . . the number of rooms ranges from dead from the old days to excellent after renovation. There are wonderful standards and great suites. . . the royal suite didn't turn me on. In order not to spoil your vacation, it is better to strain at home with the purchase of a good room or "persuade" on the spot.
The area was delightful. Beautiful, cozy, clean, compact. But the public toilets are shameful - the legacy of the old regime... they are permanently cleaned, but it is high time to burn them! Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about... the hotel is mentally decorated, well-built, people are evenly absorbed throughout the territory... sometimes you forget that you are in a crowded place.

The sea is magnificent, warmer than the forecast threatened (they showed a thermometer +24.5 from the pontoon), the fish are a standard soup set, the beach is beyond praise! Beautiful recreation areas, at least a dozen, are located very competently... there is a feeling of complete relaxation and comfort. There are no problems with seats even in the 1st row, only in the near-Pantone zone the eternal tussue and hubbub are ours in the city. The pontoon is long (70m) and even at the slightest sea disturbance it is not for the faint of heart, but the lifeguards are always there. The sheltered places near the Basiks saved us from the wind by the way. Family and relaxation pools are heated.
The contingent, as in the best houses! I have not seen such a select audience for a long time... maybe the European season or the crisis shortage of the CIS, but this fact pleased me very much. The Italians, though en masse, are quite sane... Europe is completely cream. Even the Germans are completely absent and the Arabs are on the fingers of one hand. There are few children. Not the audience, but the ball!
Service worthy. In the canteen without remarks, clean, tidy, always cloth napkins, they are cleaned clearly, they do not drive around the hall with carts "with slops", like they were scared, but put them on trays. The only negative is that you have to take drinks at the bar yourself, but you quickly get used to the costs of democracy. The interior of the main is pleasant, the tables are well-placed, wonderful sea-view places, there are no queues, there is plenty of everything. There is no extortion, everyone is treated equally. I lowered my rating because of the event time at the reception... well, they sway sooo hard... they won’t bark, they won’t move. And the bartenders on the beach and in the canteen are scumbags. But on the family and relaxation basses, smart girls. Room cleaning is standard, they react to comments, bring water in any quantity.
Food is a separate song! Really tasty, high quality and most importantly, everything is piping hot... for 11 days it has not become familiar. Usually after 3-4 days I skip lunch or dinner, but here I always skip and jump to the beginning, like on a date. Breakfast is Egyptian standard. Croissants-doughnuts are at their best, but yogurts are not the best muddy, but a good selection of cereals... I was pleased with the delicious oatmeal. Miscellaneous stuff for those who like to refuel thoroughly. Lunch-dinner is excellent, sometimes just fine. I remember samsa, duck, tuna, stuffed vegetables... they even serve traditional Egitsky pigeons (quail is written on the fence)... I was surprised by the beef (usually inedible in egy, but here it’s really good), rice side dishes with a bang, mashed potatoes a masterpiece, soup one is always excellent....even salads were "poisoned"... always fresh, and not from yesterday's leftovers, the cat is often masked. Children's and diet tables standard. Italian restaurant in a pleasant theme, went there for branded salads. Fruit bomb! I have not seen such a selective variety for a long time... and certainly not in the budget fives of Egypt. Freshest strawberries every other day, guava, apples, oranges, tangerines, bananas, dates, pomegranates, persimmons, melons. . . and most amazingly, fesalis! The sweet table is not a champion, but you can always dig up a tasty treat. Our assessment with a friend (together we were in Sunrise Royal Makadi, the cat is in the top 100) - the food in Diamond is better! There are few people, they prepare small portions and not much in advance. It's just about the maine... they didn’t get into la carte due to bad weather... and they weren’t really eager... and so they brought 2-3 kg of easily digestible dietary meat (c)

And finally, unknown for years of tireless tourism. We go into the room somehow, cleaning is thrown halfway, a dirty rag is on the chair... I’m looking for a cleaner to no avail... and in the morning, as an electric shock... I climb into the safe... the result is minus 3 hundreds, my friends have about 100 dollars disappeared "imperceptibly". Fortunately, the docks are gold in place. The whole hotel ran, hype, search... one especially gifted gave - If you were not Mr. Hashem's guests, we would have decided that this was a scam - Russians love to invent such stories. What can I say, he's a moron and a moron in Africa. It turns out that the janitor ran away the same day, and the hotel filed a report with the police, not yet knowing about the theft. While they are looking for him (if they don’t lie) and conjuring over safes. A lot of things were lost on trips... but so that from the room... and even from a closed safe! Henceforth, cash is smaller and everything is with you. The rating of the hotel was not reduced because of this... this can happen anywhere.
I will not conduct a comparative analysis of Diamond with different sunrises... I was in Gardena, Mamluk, Island View (left the network), Sunrise Makadi... whoever is interested, I will answer "what for what". In short, in many positions Diamond is a champion! We had a wonderful rest, despite the weather-thieves' cataclysms. Maybe the puzzles came together in the next. if I’m disappointed... then I’ll return to the habitable Sunrise Royal Makadi again....maybe I won’t like it there either. You seek happiness, but you gain experience. You think, here it is happiness... but no, again an experience. But the negative disappears, but the good remains. Have a nice and delicious holiday!
