Практически идеальный отель Nearly perfect hotel

I am writing a review for the first time in my life. Before that, somehow it didn’t work out, although she was an avid traveler. I personally was in Egypt for the first time, but with me was my husband and his sister with her other half, who rested in Egypt for the fifth time, probably. I was in an eastern country for the first time, before that I preferred Europe. I was set up for terrible service, beautiful sea, harassing local people and low cost of the tour. Not all predictions came true. Now in order.
The low cost of the tour during the crisis is the best thing in Egypt. Sun and sea for 26.000 for two for 8 nights, it's almost nothing. Luckily, I didn't experience terrible customer service. Upon arrival, they settled us immediately, within 10 minutes they gave us the key and escorted us to a standard room in the ninth building. Initially, all tourists were offered rooms with sea or pool views for a fee. We declined as we had other plans to spend the money. The room was very decent, large, with one double bed. The mattress turned out to be very comfortable, the linen was clean, without hair (was it set up in Moscow? ). Everything in the room worked, the view was partially on the wall of the neighboring building and a beautiful lawn. The bathroom always had hot water under strong pressure, everything was washed, there was a tape on the toilet with an inscription that it was clean. This was in line with all my ideas about proper maintenance. Cleaning in the following days was carried out daily, the cleaner was seen only in the corridor. I note that the quality of cleaning is average, but this is more of a nitpick.
We were partially lucky with the weather, but the last couple of days the wind was blowing and it was cool, but despite this we stoically swam in the sea when there was no red flag. The sea is the best thing in Egypt. I was delighted with corals and fish, at first I swam for small ones, and then I tried to keep up with large fish. For convenience, entry into the water is possible along a pontoon or a path cleared of corals. But in the second option, special shoes were needed, so they descended into the water along the stairs from the pontoon. Even those who are bad swimmers can look at the fish. There is a rope stretched along the coral wall that you can hold on to. The current in this area can be very strong, the lifeguard on the pontoon warns about this and whistles to gaping tourists so that they do not swim close to the reef. There is enough space on the beach for everyone, despite the fact that several hotels of the same chain use it.

All tourists from these hotels can move around the complex. Everywhere is very clean, the gardeners are not sitting idle. In addition, the area is very well landscaped. I can’t even believe that all this is possible to see in the desert. There are plenty of attractive places in the territory. Firstly, the territory itself, which is decorated for Christmas and New Year. Light bulbs are lit everywhere, figures are created from them, New Year's compositions with Santa Clauses and gifts are displayed everywhere. During the day there is moderate animation, who are interested in aerobics, ball games, then this is everywhere except the beach. Evening animation is not very interesting, we did not go to the performances. You can also sit in the bars: during the day by the pools and on the beach, in the evening in the lobby or take a walk outside the hotel.
The food is very good. Any normal person will find something to their taste: meat, seafood, chicken, turkey, lamb, crumbly rice, pasta (I didn’t like it), fast food, pizza, all kinds of vegetable dishes (eggplant, potatoes, sauté ed carrots, cauliflower, beans), fresh salads, desserts in the form of delicious pastries, cakes, pastries, fresh fruits (dates, oranges, melons, apples). We went to the Lebanese restaurant, really liked the meat dishes, but didn’t really like the fish one. I did not like alcohol in Egypt categorically. But we had our own supplies of duty free. There was also a lack of delicious coffee, apparently in Egypt there is a problem with drinks.
Of course, we got out of the hotel, went to La Strada (boring) and Soho Square (I liked it). In Soho, I bought a SIM card with the Internet, Viber worked, but Skype was not available. In Egypt, Skype can be used on a computer or on an iPhone. And of course, we went on excursions. Booked in advance via the Internet, the group received additional discounts. We all went together to Israel for 1 day, on a grand safari (St. Catherine's Monastery and the Colored Canyon), individually rode ATVs. The agency was called Red Sea Travel. We can recommend them as a reliable and inexpensive tour company.
It remains to comment on my last fear: molesting Arabs - they are, but if you walk accompanied by a beefy man, no one will say a word ? . And the hotel left the most pleasant impressions. Would recommend for a relaxing cultural holiday.
