We returned yesterday. Traveled with a 7 year old. Carefully chose the hotel and chose…. I write in detail. Rested from November 27 to December 6. We arrived, the weather is windy, the wind is northern (cold, gusty), but it burns in the sun. We arrived at the hotel . . they refused to pay extra $ 20 because they initially took a superior, they don’t speak Russian at the reception at all, but from his displeased face, I realized that we would be coolly settled in now. Room on the 3rd floor, view of the neighboring building (side part), but the whole point is that we never had the sun and we really froze in the room, you set the air conditioner to 30, it really gives out 22... but there were no mosquitoes and flies in room)))) Were supposed to have bathrobes, slippers, a tea set... everything was except slippers and everything was in 2 copies, and there were 3 of us... I don’t understand why you pay 100% for a child, and everything is given out only for 2... bad! As for discrimination, it really exists, but ONLY in bars. Beer, cocktails in glasses 100 g. and this is the maximum,
and Europeans in ordinary glasses, but if you freeze yourself such a glass, then they pour it))) or you have to demand that they pour it normally... in a bar near the restaurant, reluctantly, but pours, but in the water park with a cunning mug he says that there are no glasses and that's it here. Yes, and there was no desire to get drunk... somehow there was no time for that))) But in the bar on the beach, the bartenders are just great, everyone is on an equal footing and even experimenting, making original cocktails, thank you very much. Hotel guides: I read all the worst about them, I can’t say anything, Maryana went on vacation after 2 days, and Oksana helped me normally for 2 of my calls. Towels should be changed every day, be careful, we just dried them and folded them like new ones, I noticed this on the 4th day when I took the towel and it was dirty... although every day they left $ 1 at the reception, finally they couldn’t understand what I was from I want them, Oksana helped. Water in the room only upon arrival, but he put us 2 bottles 0.75,
and once they left not a dollar, but 5 pounds, he didn’t even supply water to us... They offer to pour water from the cooler . . our advice, pay attention to the bottles (they are dirty, and the water is a little cloudy), our friends drank water and the whole vacation sat on the toilet. I only rinsed my mouth once with running water and for a couple of days I could not go far from the number  . Excursions were also taken on the street, how to get out of the hotel immediately to the right, near a 5-star supermarket, a desk. We took motorized safari individually for 5 people, it cost us $ 105, and at the hotel the guides counted $ 260 is there a difference ???????? ? And everything was fine, we stopped where we wanted, he took pictures of us, in general, everything was fine. In the pools, the water is really cold, even in the heated one (green slides), the children caught a cold, our daughter swam only a couple of times and also caught a cold....ATTENTION!!! ! in the pools, the jacuzzi is very chlorinated water (in other hotels in Egypt this is not,

We’ve been there - we know) I swam in the Jacuzzi a couple of times and I got a skin allergy (rash on my eyes, acne), my body itches, the child hurt, my eyes watered after swimming in such water. When you enter the jacuzzi, the pungent smell of bleach knocks you off your feet. The sea is close, when it is windy they are not allowed on the pontoon, but you can swim from the shore, but only after 12 o’clock, when the tide is high, the fish swim there. We even managed to crawl along the bottom with a mask  The metro is a bit far on foot, but it's cheaper there than in stores . . mango 15 pounds 1 kg. Juice 1 liter Egyptian 13-17 pounds... 1 dollar = 5.98 pounds, but in stores they count $ 1 = 5 pounds... in the last days they had elections or coups, you will understand, because the banks finally did not work... they became completely impudent .
Food, as in all other hotels in Egypt…everything is the same. We flew with Pegasus, and so Pegasus tore his entire F * PU, but all the same, he sent us earlier than expected....THEY STEAL DAYS. . . More with Pegasus ANYWHERE!!!!
I summarize... in general, if you do not pay attention to the little things, Egypt is Egypt and their culture is little clear to us, then the rest turned out to be good, though the weather let us down, but it's winter)))) I would not go to this hotel anymore just because 2 things: 1. Highly chlorinated water; 2. Not a comfortable sea (long pontoon)... It's up to you.
