Фортуна иногда шутит! Fortune sometimes jokes!

All vacationers - future and former good health! we visited this 5 * hotel and I’ll tell you this: it doesn’t pull on 5, by no means, it hardly reaches 4 even according to Egyptian standards. I quote all my ratings from the fact that this is a declared 5. Who is not picky or does not know what a five is for real or took a tour here at a ridiculous price, so such a hotel will do. We took fortune from Coral for 10 days at a price below 7 days if you choose a specific hotel. This is the 2nd time we've been doing this. The 1st time we got to the Sea Club: 1st line 3 of the hotel in a bunch of huge territory and a gorgeous beach... (Well, you can find out in the reviews about that hotel). Now about this hotel: we arrived at the hotel at one o'clock in the morning: everything was polite at the reception, they gave the number 3125. We got into a mini-taradayka and went around the entire hotel in a circle and almost came back to the reception only from the inside. We went into the room and were unpleasantly surprised: the whole room was dusty, even the bed was dusty, there was no light in the corridor, the shower was cut off, the air conditioner did not work, there was no soap (fortunately, we had our own). Well, we went to bed from the road, and the next morning we decided to change the room, but while we were looking for it all day, I found both plumbers and air conditioners and electricians and the day went to repair the room, and in the evening we were offered the same room, there was no point in moving . And the next day they arranged a general cleaning - they forced them to remove the curtains, tulle for washing, wipe the dust from the walls, furniture, windows, table lamps. So it took 2 days to settle in!
Now about the beaches - the hotel is not the 2nd, but the 3rd line. There are 2 beaches, you can go to them by bus, you are tied to the schedules, to one, coral, 8 km, to another, sandy, 10-12 km. Terrible coral: a narrow strip of 10-15 m between other hotels, dirty, the builders built a fence, occupied almost half, walking towards it past the "charming" bungalows near which it smells strongly of sewerage. There is not enough space for swimming, as in a small pool, a step to the right, a step to the left, the guards-wardens immediately whistle, and God forbid you touch the coral - immediately an international scandal. Sandy is located in the bay, it is more spacious, there is where to swim, but not interesting in terms of fauna - a couple of fish swim up and that's it. At the bottom in the swimming area I found broken glass and sharp pieces of iron. But on the other hand, you can go beyond the beach to the exit from the bay to take pictures of pleasant landscapes.
The hotel itself is big but boring. The greenery is well-groomed, the pools and bars near them are normal, the standard set of shops, the peasant beats good coins, the staff is polite, the entertainment is wretched. Once a violinist, once a guitarist, otherwise they played clips on the wall with a projector.

Food: generally edible but not tasty, very often oversalted, there are a lot of flies in restaurants, and sparrows dig food on tables outside, but it’s even cool. The staff in the restaurants is too frisky, you don’t have time to finish the dish, and they are already snatching the plate from the table.
Breakfast: pancakes, yoghurts, omelettes, fried sausages with onions, sausage. . . everything is so light and bland.
Lunch: there was already a variety, 2 types of grated soups, fried potatoes, beef, fish... already something.
Dinner: there was already a variety and even something very tasty. sweets, squid, duck, quail, fish were delicious.
In no case should you eat mixed salads: they interfere with what was not eaten before: sausage, sausages, potatoes from breakfast met at lunch and dinner in salads, everything already sour and disguised with vinegars. This time I was pleasantly surprised by the alcohol: gin was like gin, brandy like brandy, rum like rum, not of the highest quality, but you can drink it. Not like last time: everything tasted the same - bad alcohol diluted with bad water. There was good ice cream at the pools, tea bags are much better than those sold in our country!
Summary: If you want to relax in a really 5 * hotel, this one is not suitable, if there are super-burning super-cheap offers to this hotel, and then come and brag that you were in 5 * and not make demands on the service, then go!
