After a painful week-long stay at the TITANIC BEACH SPA & AQUAPARK hotel, we decided to change the hotel for the remaining week with an additional payment, in the hope that a significant difference in the amount would significantly affect the quality of the services received.
Of course, when you enter the hotel lobby, everything positively impresses you with expensive finishes, high ceilings, fish swimming around the bar in the center of the lobby. But, the check-in time at the hotel is 14 hours and not a minute earlier, nothing, order is order, wait 15 minutes . Everything is calm, time does not run anywhere.
Everything was arranged in the received room, we examine the territory of the hotel.
The beach is only pluses, umbrellas with sunbeds at a distance from each other, spacious, the sea is excellent, a gentle entrance to the sea, the territory is well-groomed.
Restaurant - in the norm and the range and quality.

There are a lot of Russians in the hotel, so until 7 am, almost all the sunbeds on the beach are occupied (which was discovered the next morning).
ALL inclusive in the understanding of the management of this hotel is quite specific, it was often seen that parents slowly grab something to eat from the restaurant for the kids, because in the intervals between breakfast, lunch and dinner there is practically no way to feed the child. And this is such a huge amount of money! Savings , of course, above all. Firstly, the TEZ-TOUR guide practically did not give valuable information at the information meeting, they had to fish it out, and not in full. everything. In bars, cunning bartenders, counting on Russians not knowing English, impudently begin to sculpt a bunch of products in checks, for example, when we took 3 unfortunate ice creams, we saw a bunch of food, beer, drinks in the check and were rightly indignant, to which we received a dazzling smile in response and an explanation that the total cost is 00.00 to pay, sign let's go. After the phrase from our side, where is the manager, immediately They gave another check indicating only ice cream and smiled, apparently thinking something completely different.
A bar where you can have a bite to eat, logically, should work between lunch and dinner, but alas - according to the restaurant regime, savings. Of course, leaving the restaurant, it would never occur to anyone to stomp to eat up. But when you get hungry - this is all for a fee. Moreover, it’s better not to take anything in bars until 12 noon, the guide warns, everything is for a fee.
Sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi are free of charge, only few of the vacationers know about it. They will find out something good, they will start walking.
Internet prices, in my opinion, are prohibitively high, 4 Egyptian pounds (almost a dollar) per minute.
They start fighting mosquitoes at 6-30 in the morning, but they fight effectively.

There is animation, but very quiet, there is no mini-club, they practically don’t work with children at all, but there is a trampoline, everyone jumps on it until late at night, or the children themselves come up with activities for themselves.
When we left, the reception for the last time wanted to deceive us a little when paying for the wine we drank in a Greek restaurant. For some reason, the amount of 95.87 Egyptian pounds, with my desire to pay part in $, and part in the local remaining currency for some reason increased, and only when I asked what the dollar rate was, on the third attempt the Arab named the correct figure. A trifle, but unpleasant. And yet, after the financial calculations and the delivery of the key to the room, we were asked to linger until they checked the minibar in the room. We checked carefully, 20 minutes. We already suspected that something would either break or disappear on a large scale, but everything went without problems. Although, as a rule, we went to a restaurant past the reception and witnessed violent scenes with our compatriots, writing complaints, etc.
At the moment I can not say if I would like to go there again. Perhaps it is worth visiting other places, mainly because of the special Arab cunning in this hotel, possibly taking us Russians for stupid, uneducated idiots. And for those who go, be careful and learn English, demand more information from the guides.
