First the CONS. The hotel is old, the furniture and the pool too. The water in the pool is cold, it's true (but because it's running). Plumbing in the rooms is barely alive - be careful. Meals ONLY breakfast and dinner. The bus goes to the beach once a day. Leaves at 10:30, returns at 16:00. Bed linen and towels are changed ONLY ON REQUEST. Now the BENEFITS. Despite a stern warning about a fine "for bringing food into the hotel, " everyone brings food in dark bags or their bags. The main thing is that the owner does not see you. It's better to stock up at METRO. The beach "Terrazina" is not bad, the sand and sunbeds are clean. In addition, you can always go to the "wild" beach. The food is monotonous, but satisfying. If the chef comes, the food is great. If only there were "polyatki", you can eat, but. . . AND THE FOOD DID NOT CHANGE FOR ALL 10 DAYS! For those who are especially interested: breakfast consists of 3 types of buns, pancakes (actually pancakes), croissants, fried sausages with onions and peppers, scrambled eggs or boiled eggs, potatoes, cheese in triangles and trays, jam, tomato and cucumber salads , something similar to cottage cheese, coffee or tea, fruit salad (bananas, oranges, strawberries, pomegranates). Keep in mind - a beautiful pink liquid is not a compote, it is a tasteless, very diluted hibiscus tea. Dinner: vegetable salads, stewed and fried vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, beans, potatoes, carrots), stew, chicken and potatoes, rice, pasta or spaghetti, unleavened buns (instead of bread), fish (every other day), pizza ( thick pie with a strange filling), dessert - a cupcake or cake. NO DRINKS IN THE EVENING! We went to a bar. A cup of Nescafe costs $2. The STAFF is smiling. We left 3 pounds tips for the room cleaner, and he sculpted swans and hearts from towels for us. There is one subtlety: tips are given to those who are lower in social status. That is, the cleaner of the room, the taxi driver, the boy packing food in the supermarket and the beach worker will gladly take the tip. A cashier in a supermarket (in a shirt and tie), a receptionist and a guide may be offended (as they most likely have a higher education and know a couple of languages). Think before you buy EXCURSIONS. Most likely you will like 1 or 2, and the rest will be a waste of money. I went for the sun and the sea, went to the Ras Mohammed reserve. Beauty is extraordinary. Fish, corals. It is necessary to go by bus, because on the yacht all the beauty is shown from afar. The pyramids and the rest of the ruins did not appeal to me, and to drag myself on the bus for 2 days too. And one more thing - those who lived at the Royal Paradise Resort hotel said they have a coral beach and the same fish can be seen by going into the knee-deep water and crumbling bread. For those who will eat IN THE BAR - be careful, during the broadcast of football matches, the British and Germans are terribly aggressive. Pizza at the bar is £.30. But it is huge, you can overeat. In general, I liked it (only it looked like a pioneer camp)!
