We chose the hotel based on reviews, description, location, photos, and videos. WRONG EVERYWHERE!
1. Lido - a very old, small hotel (about 180 rooms, it was 60-70% full).
2. Located at the very western end of the bay - with a northeast wind (it was 3 days), all the muck from all the beaches is visiting us.
3. The area around the hotel is almost non-existent. Volleyball court and about 30-40 sun loungers, of which at least 30% are torn, full of holes.
4. Beach - there are 3 exits to the sea: one from the shore, you have to go 30 meters to at least some depth, 2 - into the sea along the steps, which have not been cleaned and repaired for a long time. The floors on the terraces, floors and exits to the sea are plank, with many chips, cracks, screws and nails peeking out, there are obvious traces of fungus.
5. Food is generally normal. BUT! If you eat on the veranda - the birds are visiting you - a lot of crows and sparrows go to dine with you, and do it.

6. Rooms are standard, BUT! TV - old, dirty, with a non-working remote control - Egyptian production : ), cleaning for 3 plus, if not sponsored : )
7. There is practically no animation, except for 15 minutes of exercise and a boring evening "show" with a sick saxophonist.
8.2 times they tried to "throw" with beach towels, you just have to leave it on a sunbed and leave, say, for lunch - the towel is quietly taken away, they demand compensation. It didn't work out for me!!!
9. In the waiting area, next to the reception, a socket with bare wires sticks out of the wall. I turned to General Manager Mohamed El Shewy on this and other issues - zero emotions, though I invited him to drink coffee with him : ) I refused : )
10. Conclusion: I was very wrong with the Lido hotel. At a similar price, there are a lot of excellent hotels here. Don't repeat my mistakes!
