Stayed at this hotel for the second time. And we'll go again. Why?
Friendly staff. Restaurant manager Ali met as the dearest guests of his house: he always brought coffee, wine and fruits personally. No money was thrust into him - they were interested in health, treated him with chocolate, asked about the family. We treat him as human beings, and he treats us the same way. The guys-bartenders tried both "as always" (this is beer, light and tasty, not like our bodyaga), and "the cocktail for madam, whiskey-cola for mister was in a hurry" - my husband and I did not abuse alcohol, take the empty glasses to the counter - it wasn’t zapadlo, but to thank in Arabic. They really appreciate it. Everyone sniffed at my cigarettes ("Corsair" cherry) - they didn’t sting, but the guys always treated me with their own in response. Type of game: I give them - Rush, they give me - Egypt. My husband is a computer specialist - it was not difficult for him to help fix the boy's messed up Skype. When employees feel that their fingers do not bend in front of them, they will be sincerely benevolent in return. Not out of obligation.
As for food. We didn’t toil with our stomachs, because we didn’t grind everything, but chose well-matched products. When our compatriots piled fresh cucumbers, baked eggplants in one pile at breakfast, eating cereal with milk for dessert - well, do you think their stomachs should have reacted to such a "feast"? Respectively. By the way, in our race, the people were quite adequate, with wonderful children, so everyone communicated very kindly, played in the pool, swam turtles to take pictures. At the same time, they shared their impressions, as well as good advice. So we didn’t have any massive problems with our stomachs at all. I've been reading about uncooked meat, or spoiled, or burnt. . I don't know, honestly. Nothing like this has ever been eaten or even seen.

A delicate question regarding such a phenomenon as baksheesh. This is not extortion of money - this is an element of their culture. In Europe, we don't get upset when we read "tip amount - 10% of the bill" on the menu. We ourselves squat in curtseys before Europe. But in Asia and Africa - eka outrages us... But among ourselves, I dare say, the same thing: if you want your sister to give an injection like a human being, you put a chocolate bar in her pocket. Isn't it? Then we live in different Russias : ) Do you want to get a decent and hassle-free room when you check in without gimor? Not a problem - put 10 bucks in your passport, smile - and you won't run around with resettlements all your vacation. We always left a buckskin on the steward’s blanket - we practically didn’t see the steward)) Toka, when he saw us off, roared into three streams and called to come again)) But - the linen was changed every other day, towels daily, everything was white and batiste (bedding, in the sense ). The room sparkled, the taps didn’t leak, the toilet didn’t clog, everything worked (but “doesn’t work” in those rooms where the servants are forced to remind them of their difficult existence; by the way, they really don’t just live there, and those who helped to get a job at the hotel even as a sweeper, there is terrible unemployment, and everyone wants to eat). So do not spare 300 rubles (10 days for a dollar) - you still sentenced them to spending)) and you will have a completely comfortable rest without domestic problems.
The spa is just magical. A range of quality services at an affordable price. Take 4 sessions (there are different complexes in the price list) - you get the fifth one as a gift. My husband and I did all 10 sessions, successfully coincided in time. We arrived really healthy, not just rested. The gym in the salon is free, by the way. So many people first work out on simulators, then a sauna (or a Turkish bath), a hydromassage in a jacuzzi (a very well-thought-out system), then various forms of massage - here who likes which one more. All our neighbors in the hotel were very pleased.
The sea. . . for me is the best thing in the world, the Red Sea. The corals there are something absolutely magical. A very rich and varied world. The amateurs and I swam quite far - stingrays and turtles did not swim out in shallow water, so we swam to visit them ourselves. But near the pontoon there are all sorts of different fish . . Kids expanse - it is forbidden to feed fish everywhere (both in Sharm and in Hurghada), but here the lifeguard allowed us. True, we did not abuse. The children crumble the bread, and the mothers hang in the water, waiting for a larger flock to gather. At first, the fish are cautious, and then they become bolder and such a fish-peeling begins... Amazing sensations.
In general, on October 6 I am going back to the same hotel))) Until the elections began in Egypt, and the radical Islamists did not crawl into the vlas - otherwise our paradise vacation will be covered. It is necessary, in short, to be in time - maybe, in general, you will have to go to Egypt for the last time. Swimming in a hijab somehow does not make me laugh ((
Shopping, like sightseeing dragging in the desert in the heat, does not attract me; I think for those who want to be with nature on you and without rudeness, stock up on the sun, relax in peace - this is the most successful hotel.
