Очень не притязательно, но сносно Very unpretentious, but tolerable

Rested from 03 to 10 January 2012. We chose Eilat only because the flight was not long and the situation in Egypt was tense, but I wanted to swim and sunbathe. In general, they bought and tanned. The beach next to the hotel is bad (too small for such a hotel, the sunbeds are old, dirty and in short supply. The beach is dirty and with inconceivable barriers at the entrance to the sea). The Red Sea does not make an impression like in Egypt because it ends there and there is no such charm of perception, but the sea is quite clean. For some reason, periodically smells like Mr. The hotel is old, the furniture is dirty and shabby, but there is everything you need, even a kettle. The safe didn't work and no one could fix it. The food is normal, even varied, but if you come to dinner on the second shift, pay attention to the plates. The feeling that they were not washed, but simply wiped with a napkin after the first shift. All plates are greasy and dirty. The staff in the restaurant is Russian-speaking, no problem. At the reception, a Russian-speaking girl Olga, if there are problems, then she is taken out at any time of the day. The main customers of the hotel are Jews and they are nearby on the beach. The pool is almost completely shaded by palm trees, and in January there is not enough heat, the temperature becomes normal by 10 o'clock, it starts to get colder at 15 o'clock. In the evening you have to wear a jacket. Prices are high for everything. Excursions are expensive (maybe this is due to the New Year holidays). Together we went to Petra for $590 (including the passage of the Israeli border for $55 from the snout). And shmon at the borders is generally a fairy tale! Especially when taking off! Tour operator Travellux "distinguished". The airline delayed the flight for 7 hours, and the tour operator pretended not to know about it. They threw everyone at the airport and dosvidos. More than 200 people toiled in a closed space, though they fed. In general, I do not advise making Eilat a permanent holiday destination.
