I'll start perhaps from afar, but in order. My biggest mistake was to contact the tour agency TezTour - Azurair - AnexTour. I have no idea how they cooperate but the wishes of the client (ie me, were not heard).
Firstly, I asked the travel agency - I asked if there were any "slides", "steps" in the hotel where I was going, so that there would be a hotel on a plane without going uphill. The girl assured me, yes, no!
Secondly, I clarified this moment, taking into account the fact that my knees hurt and frequent movement up and down is uncomfortable for me.
Thirdly, wishes for the hotel, youth preferably 16+ and without children.
Since on tour I flew on vacation and part-time to celebrate my birthday.
So, let's begin.
We flew on a charter flight, taking into account that in Ukraine there are no blankets on the plane.
Upon arrival, we were met by a man who suggested where to go for a transfer. As it turned out, we drove to the hotel for 7-10 minutes, but for the money for which the tour was bought, to go in a terrible minibus where my luggage went on the roof, people flying the same plane rode in high comfortable buses, maybe this tour agency decided to shoot down on my travel money. A round-trip transfer costs about $40, but you can negotiate with a taxi driver from $5-10, depending on where you need to go, but the issue with a taxi is separate.
We arrived at the hotel. It turns out that the hotel where we are staying, or rather, that part of it is closed and we were settled in those buildings that work, what kind of jokes are these? At the reception we paid $15 to put us in a nice room and $1 to carry our luggage. We were in a hurry to settle and send for dinner before 22:00, we arrived at 21:24.
Cons of the Sea Life Sea Group Hotel
The first number was 3101, we settled and ran to eat. Upon my return, I began to look around the room and right there - there was soap, dirt, hair just in tufts, the nightstand by the bed was also in the sand or I don’t know what it was, the room had a door to the next room (as it was later explained that this was in case the family settled with children), in the bathroom there is an incomprehensible curtain in the shower and everywhere in the bathroom there is mold and repair robots are terribly done, holes are ugly smeared in one word, solid anti-sanitary conditions. We returned to the reception, I asked to change the room to which I was offered to clean the room, since it was 22:15 I wanted to take a shower and I asked to change the room to another one. We were moved to room 4118 visually it was better there but very stuffy like in the basement. We unpacked things and it turns out that there are no sockets in the room except for TV, for a kettle, 2 lamps and in the bathroom for a hairdryer. In addition, the room key did not open the door (they gave out a plastic card key) I had to go up from the very bottom of the hotel and ask to change the key to which I was told that I did not know how to use it, the porter brought us to the room and simply inserted the card into the container which automatically turns on / off all the electricity in the room.
For the first day, it would seem enough, as it turned out that the Wi-Fi in the hotel is an individual paid 7 days $ 50, and the general Wi-Fi in the lobby is 3 Wi-Fi, but only one "works", or rather, it barely pulls from 2G to 3g.
The first night passed, to put it mildly, "so-so" - most of the night the refrigerator was noisy, the air conditioner also kept up with it, all the time it seemed that I was going in a minibus. So is the noise from the hookah and music until 2:00 am and from the neighbors thumping on the balcony. In the morning in the shower, a curtain fell on me, or rather the entire pipe on which it hung. It was unexpected and with a beautiful red bump I ran to the reception, there is still no wi-fi, it will turn on at 10:00 what?? ? 21st century Wi-Fi is turned on by the clock in the yard, so if it also worked! At the reception, I was offered a master in the room who would put this pipe back. I said what I want, 2nd floor, with a clean room, preferably if they lived there and it is clean and tidy. What do they say I have to pay extra !!! ! What? ? I nervously explain that I already paid them yesterday and ended up moving to another room. I say that ok, I will pay $10 extra if they give me a normal number. The guy indignantly said that it would be more expensive, but gave me a card from another number. I went and looked at number 4225, it was better than the first 2. But all the rooms are furnished in the same way, but they differ in that in the first room 3101 there were bathrobes, slippers and a kind of washcloth, in the second room 4118 this was not, but in the third 4225 the glasses had to be moved from the second room.
Everything seems to be fine, a view of the pool, the sea. As a result, hookahs work until 2 a. m. and it’s impossible to sleep, the music yells, okay, something adequate, but Arabic motives are not for everybody.
In the morning and during the day, all sorts of entertainment is held by the pool, music and laughter, screams, screams of children and boozy men are also playing.
Cleaning the room is something, change the towels, make the bed and, in the case of suffering, change the bed. I came from the beach and shook my feet from the sand that remained in the hallway, after cleaning the sand was there, that is, no one swept. In the evening it turned out that 4 light bulbs were not working in the room (at the entrance to the room, on the balcony, in some recess in the wall and a lamp standing on the floor, well, by unscrewing and changing the light bulbs, the room became better and brighter. All those but hair, dust, dampness, mold, for 6 days they never wiped the mirrors in the room and the hallway, or these are drawings from old age. The first night was not bad. On the second night from 1:20-3:00 I caught and killed mosquitoes, there were only 24 mosquitoes! The workers can’t do anything, in the evening at 17:00, when the sun goes down, they throw a vile stench into the air that drives away mosquitoes, although I don’t know where and where they drive them away. The next night I had to sleep under blankets and with air conditioning, but There were a couple of mosquitoes. The doors to the balcony had to be closed and we had to sleep in stuffiness. But when there were 2 days left before the end of the tour, I still killed the mosquitoes in the room.
Morning and evening entertainment, and in general, the animators are all terrible, from programs to karaoke of the 1990s-2000s, to jokes with stripping, and the same animators every day and every time come up and call for a "go program" although the last evening was the only time when it was At least it's funny and not stupid. After the show, from 22:40-23:50, everyone in turn comes up and calls to go for $ 16 to the club where you will dance and at 2:30 you will already be at the hotel + 1 cocktail in the club, when I can drink this diluted swill at the bar , there seem to be 1-2 "clubs" on the territory of the hotel, but one evening I went in and there was a "dj and assistant" sitting there! One of the animators, when I handed over the towel, asked if I was going to the club today, I answered no and went to the room, to which this guy gives me the phrase - Hey friend, I'm talking to you, why are you turning around and leaving? to put it mildly, I went nuts and answered that I was cold and I was going to the room to get dressed, for another 30 minutes I was in shock that he dared to stop me and interrogate me. I'm resting, I said no! Am I required to report? Tin! And all the days of your stay at the hotel you will be asked by everyone, from animators to Mukhamedov offering to go somewhere, diving, boat, etc. , etc. All dishes - glasses, plates, cups, glasses - are beaten, chipped, it is noticeable that it is very old, the appliances are also shabby. The food is basically the same every day, almost no fruit, additional moments, ice cream or fresh for a fee, orange fruits, apples, sometimes melon cut into pieces as if they are fattening livestock, dates. You will be offered meat, rice, potatoes, soups, salads and sweets, there is only one napkin on the table for one person, if you need more, then go around the tables looking for a free one or just read it.
Toilets and showers are also in terrible condition. There is a gym but more than 6 people and everything is already crowded there, the choice of simulators is not large.
With wi-fi problems on the third day, it was turned off at 16:34 under the pretext that Egypt was switching to 4g and turned it on the very next day, according to the schedule at 10:00, or rather, it was turned on, there was a signal that wi-fi was working, but it was nothing at all does not open, they just have a room where exactly at 10:00 + 5-10 minutes they turn on the distribution of fifa. It's bad when you have an important SMS in the mail or at work here! Everything so that we could not sit in the hall, but went to the club. Then for 3 days there was a sound of meowing in the lobby, I thought that this was one of the animators who was meowing by the pool, but as it turned out that a small cat was sitting in the ceiling for 3 days and they took it off at the persuasion of the residents! Only I came up 5 times, not counting other people. If you want a cocktail with you or take food to your room, this is a problem, you can’t eat food outside the walls of the dining room, it’s forbidden to take it out, cocktail and water / juices, or rather UPI or invite, these are ordinary plastic cups from which homeless people drink vodka at the station and in general or a glass under coffee paper or plastic. In addition, when I asked for 5 glasses of cola, I was forced to swear because for 1 person 1 glass, that is, they receive salary from the money that we spent on the tour unreasonably expensive 1000+$ so I have no right to take more than 1 cocktail !! ! A taxi from the hotel to Naama Bay is $ 5 maximum but will be overpriced, on the way back from Naama Bay to Sea Life - sea group, the taxi driver will specially take you to the wrong place first and then will knock out money, but be prepared to be not one or two, but at least 4 because it will be necessary to either argue and, in case of conflict, call the police to resolve the conflict (well, or pay another $ 5 on top of $ 5. Sunbeds, mattresses for sunbeds are all old and in poor condition, the neighboring building in which we did not stop looked abandoned, rubbish, leaves, sand. If you want to swim with a mask, then one pantone option and then only where the rope is, everything is trampled down near the shore, but you can see the fish. TV - 3 Russian Canadians and 1 Ukrainian. Pool without heating, entertainment 0. If you have birthday you will be presented with a cake and for $ 15 they will dance and knock on the drums.
The advantages of the Sea Group hotel, you can sign up for restaurants one-first visit for free.
If you freeze from animators and other muhameds with suggestions for excursions, read a book and from 7:00-16:40 you can enjoy the sun.
If you are over 50 you are a grandparent with grandchildren, then you might be interested, otherwise it is very boring, the furniture in the lobby is a la from the 90s, greasy and everything is dusty. I do not advise you to go. Vacation ruined! The travel agency positions the Sea Life - sea group hotel as 5 *, but in reality it is a maximum of 3 * and a minimum of 2 *. Kiev and Odessa hostels look much better!
At the airport, you will be asked to hand over all the water (from your hand luggage) after 2 sections of checks you can buy water from $ 3 coffee $ 4, during the check you will almost be undressed, but you will have to take off your shoes.
