Before a trip with a wife and a child (12) years old, they chose a month and a country, a resort and a hotel. I myself am not going to Egypt for the first time, and I have traveled almost all of Europe, mainly in my student years, my wife and child are abroad for the first time. Chosen according to personal preference. I don't want to melt in the sun - I like outdoor activities and drink beer. The wife wanted to naturally tan and plunge into another country and see a lot. The child has fun - the sea, water park, animation, etc. We proceeded from the principle of price - quality. We read the reviews up to our necks - according to the reviews we could not choose a hotel - one thing did not like the other. I decided to choose with the agency myself (a friend has his own) and not to tell my wife about the reviews, I just showed the pictures and set me up for a good rest. I can say that all the reviews were true and positive and negative. The only question is how to deal with it. I'll start everything from the beginning.
We flew normally - we got a suitcase with broken legs (then we saw how they were thrown when loading) - we don’t care about the suitcase, we are on vacation!
Met at the airport as expected at every turn indicated where to go. Here, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO BEER LOVERS TO BUY BEER IN FRISHOP - I bought a box of cans - beer is not a fountain in the hotel, but I love beer. Yes, and lovers of our vodka can also be stingy.

We continue - on the bus - I met a guide from Ukraine, immediately announced that where it doesn’t work, and people asked different questions, the water park, as they wrote in the reviews, didn’t work, although many stopped choosing a hotel because of it. Nonsense, we'll go to another, we're on vacation!
We arrived, settled within an hour, not bad enough - they were not going to pay anyone, for anything, and get a view from the window for 100 USD. we were not interested - who are interested, contact the guide. Although we paid for the child as an adult, but there was no 3rd bed in the room - I didn’t give a damn about it - half an hour of negotiations and a reminder to everyone five times (guide, everyone at the reception, managers) until the end of the day - the bed stood. The third set of towels and bath liquids was brought on the second day (also after reminders) and drinks were not added to the bar - we don’t care, we’re on vacation!
We went on the eve of my wife's birthday and the trip was a gift to her, so I protected her from all the showdowns and arranged everything myself. Lucky for those who are a lark like me. And for those who like to sleep, if they want to take a good place on the beach or near the pools, they will have to work hard. I got up at 6:30 and occupied two sun loungers near the pool (we always rested there after lunch) and two in the first row of sun loungers by the sea - advice if the issued towels are not dirty, then it is better not to hand them over to dry on the balcony and take their places. At 7:00 in the DINING ROOM I ate an omelet with tea and went either to sleep or to swim. ADVICE - if you want to see Vasya - a big beautiful fish sails to the pontoon at about 8:00 am, she was fed with whole buns from the canteen - I recommend - but she doesn't come every day.
From 8:30 to 9:00 I woke my people for breakfast. We went to have breakfast, I ate pancakes with jam and my tea was mostly dry food (such as Nesquik) with milk. And they went to the beach. While mine were melting, I plunged into the sea for an hour and a half, took with me fins, a mask and a snorkel, and a small set of the same - and without them, do not regret swimming in the pool on the reefs, take a good mask. I'll be brief I LOVE IT! Malaya went to "aqua erotica" in the pool. My beloved preferred to acquire a chocolate shade, I wore cocktails to her - I really liked the "Tekila Sunrise"

At 13:30 we were going to dinner ADVICE - we left the small one to take us places (there are queues in front of the dining room - they start according to the availability of places - and queues for a set of food) we ourselves walked to the room, threw things and walked back.
At 2:30 pm mine went out to the pool, I sometimes slept. Near the pool, I sometimes had to quite persistently ask the "rude" Englishmen to vacate the places I occupied once with the involvement of the hotel manager - they allow you to crumple your things and throw them to another place - there were no conflicts after the manager - DO NOT SPIT ON THE ENGLISH WE ARE ON VACATION!
Until the evening we frolicked with the little one in the pool and drank beer. WARNING beer is poured into plastic cups and only two tbsp. on the 1st person - I DO NOT SPIT and on the spot I can drink three times two glasses and again with a small somersault in the pool. Here the Russians were squeezed with beer after 16:00, but ours did not give up after the manager and the beer returned and did not end anymore. BUT THE BAR ALWAYS CLOSED at 17:00 and did not work until sunset, as it is written - I DO NOT CARE, I STARTED WITH BEER.
In the evening, there were again queues in the “stallovka” - yes, I spent all my childhood and youth in these queues, you won’t scare us with them - but there was time to talk with vacationers and share our impressions.
I won’t write about food, everything is only about it and they write - everything is also true - we ate from the belly TIP - what you liked yesterday will not necessarily be the same today. I used to take a little bit of what I liked to look at, taste it, and then go and take more of what I liked to taste. Try everything and choose.

I had to go once again to Cairo - with age it's getting harder to endure. I'll be objective - the worst trip ever. About Cairo, life, customs, population and much more, I told my wife and neighbors in the chair, the guide VAASCHE NO, it’s even worse in the museum - I don’t give a damn why my wife and daughter came to rest. But the worst thing was the dry ration from the hotel, they poured water from a barrel into used bottles and put oto sho at dinner, doyil pieces of cake and two bananas in other hotels were much more interesting. It was better before.
We were in the CLEO water park - not bad - the little one and I had a great time on the slides and in the pool with an artificial wave. ADVICE - from the hotel costs 42 USD. and there ticket 30u. e. but without lunch and delivery. - choose.
RELAXED IN KAIF. For the wife and child, everything is like in a fairy tale, and I'm glad that they liked it. So tune in to rest and have fun, and those who are looking for flaws, try a club holiday, and it’s best to buy an island, hire slaves and plow high for your joy and fulfill all your whims.
Yes, I almost forgot, even with an anekstur and not bad, but we more often turned to guides of other operators on general issues, they were on the spot more often. It’s a pity for the guys on the ground, but if there is a better choice of teztours and the plane is there with seats, otherwise they took it by storm to take places, but we have a small one, we go ahead, and we ourselves were the last to go.
