Travel agency: Галопом тур (Mykolaiv) Service type: пакетный тур |
We bought a tour from the girls with Galop in May to the Albatros hotel))
I will try to write briefly about the Royal Albatros Moderna hotel, where we, as a group of 4 people, rested)) this is not the first time in Sharm, but I understand that then I threw money away, compared to Albatross. I used to stay at the Grand Hotel. I won’t talk about that darkness, and it’s inappropriate here. I just don't wish it on my enemy.
Background. We arrived from the airport very quickly, in about 10 minutes, there were not very many people and all the hotels were nearby. Albatros north is almost the penultimate hotel on the Red Sea coast (the last Barcelo tyrant charm). At the entrance to the hotel you can immediately see the water park for adults with steep slides) They brought, unloaded things near the hotel and left them there (check-in at 14:00 and we arrived at 8 in the morning) there were no free rooms, we had to wait until 12:30 somewhere while they were released and removed) Put on the bracelets immediately upon arrival, leaving the suitcases under the supervision of the guards on the street, we took things to change, and went to eat and inspect the territory) By hearsay, we immediately went to the Columbus coffee shop and drank delicious coffee with muffins)
Accommodation in the room. At 12:30 we were already tired of waiting until they gave us a room (we were very tired from the road, we wanted to wash ourselves and put ourselves in order) we went to the reception and asked what the numbers were, and our envelopes with cards from the room were already waiting for us (since we were 4 people, we were given rooms next to each other on request). We have 1372 with relatives 1368.
Rooms. I write right away, if you come across these rooms, DO NOT rush when you see the absence of a balcony, run to the reception with a request, a plea, 10 dollars, to change to a room with a balcony. The hotel is to the eyeballs, you can’t tell by sight, you’ll see it at dinner) For 10 or 20 dollars, like in other hotels, you can’t get a room “more convenient” here, they have an official price list, which indicates the type of room and the supplement per day. This is usually $ 10 per day and multiply by the number of days for which you arrived, it seems to be at least 6-7 (total $ 60-70 ONLY FOR THE BALCONY))))))). You don’t need a balcony in these rooms) Seriously) Super location, the golden mean, I call it, the view from the windows to the pool and beauty) 5 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to restaurants and reception. What else does??? We dried our swimwear in the bathroom and they dried up very quickly (just turn on the hood), beach towels do not need to be dried, they can be changed 2 times a day)) Why am I writing this, because we, as women, immediately think with emotions, in a panic, how is it there is no balcony?))) We went to the reception, they explained they say so and so, he gave a room with a balcony but overlooking the road and on the first floor where it was impossible to retire without tightly closing the curtains. In short, darkness) we only later realized how lucky we were) and ended up staying in our original 1372 and 1368 Standard room, clean, tidy, with a mega bed, they are everywhere like that, we understand, the bathroom is clean and comfortable) everything is there, and a hat and soap dry and in dispensers) there is enough of everything) they clean it every day and change everything) though soap, paper, napkins, sometimes water - on request. The room has air conditioning, fan, plasma, cups, coffee / tea / sugar, kettle, dressing table, table with two chairs, working safe, mini fridge (empty of course). We had a very weak hair dryer, so we said at the reception and they drilled a new hole for us and put a new hair dryer!!!) That's what I call service.
Speaking of him. Service.
I have no words. Everything is so perfect, I'm afraid to jinx it. Everything is very friendly, hard-working to the point of horror (and not, as usual, lazy Arabs in some hotels), everything shines, the grass is perfectly even, the bushes are perfectly trimmed, the flowers are always watered, the dishes are clean until their reflection is straight), the floor is washed everywhere, there are all sun loungers on the beach and beds are constantly wiped, everything is very clean everywhere! We have not seen this yet) Very nice staff! Thank him very much!
Food. There are 5 restaurants, 1 on the beach for lunch, and 1 Thai paid (White Elephant). There are no a la carte systems in 6 restaurants, they work on a buffet system) That is, all the food is not monotonous, but wildly varied) What mood do you have there and eat) We did it like a pig, we started with Italian and with a huge plate of other latest Mediterranean not to miss anything???? Drinks are completely different, for every taste) Juices (orange, apple, pineapple), Orange fresh (in the morning), white and red wine (like our busso and tamyanka) you can drink, good Egyptian beer, tea, coffee (it is better to drink only in Columbus, because in canteens it is made from acorns or oats, I would say a gourmet) and all sorts of alcoholic cocktails from local alcohol). There are a lot of bars around the territory, everywhere they make good cocktails and alcohol and without) ice cream, milkshakes) they don’t go hungry here) They give different fruits, they gave us watermelons, melon, apples, peaches, dates, bananas, oranges. short enough)
Contingent. A lot of Ukrainians, Germans, Italians, Belarusians, Arabs, Turks, a bit of pigs (understood who I mean :) and French. All the people were very intelligent, except for oink) for this drunken debauchery, and there was no wild monkey movement, well, again, because the Russians don’t travel) I would call the hotel a family hotel, a lot of pensions, children with parents and couples) For the young people here, in fact there is nothing to do (well, unless of course you are flying with a company).
Animation. Weak, very weak. They cannot come up with their shows, they copy from other hotels, which is very disappointing because with such a large team it is a sin to do it! Just right for children, they like the same songs and dances) Live music is good, the saxophone is all right) The singing girl leaves much to be desired (sometimes it seemed that someone turned on karaoke and everyone was singing)) There is an Irish pub (from Irish only the name) they turn on loud good music and you can dance (alcohol there, like everywhere else, is free until 00:00) well, the sports bar is beautiful, you can also throw in a couple of delicious cocktails) Sometimes there are dance shows. Everything for fun)
Beach. There is a gentle entrance and a pontoon. For children, the gentle slope from the shore is wonderful, for those who like to dive the pontoon) The reef is scarce, there is almost nothing to look at, there are also very few fish. If you are traveling for the first time, take an excursion to Ras Mohamed (with or without diving) it does not matter. There you will appreciate the Red Sea at its true worth) Do not take Tyran! We went and were very upset (although I was already in Tirana and I know that there is nothing to see there), I still fell for the stories and went there. Very sorry. On the pontoon, do not believe in the nonsense of lazy asses that it is very difficult and impossible to go. LOL just) Firstly, there is a wind on the beach that really saves us from hell, if not for it, I would probably have boiled at 36 degrees. ) the heat is not felt at all! True, it is necessary to smear with cream from combustion (shoulders burn instantly) we covered ourselves and smeared) everything was buzzing)
Saviors work everywhere, both at the bass and at the sea, which is very good) By the way, about excursions. We only took Israel from the guides for one day for $100 per person. A very difficult trip, I immediately warn you, the road to the first point (Dead Sea) with customs and toilets and transfers takes 9 hours !! Take one day, that's more than enough! And don’t buy in the shops that the Israeli guide will bring to you, it’s insanely expensive there (given that Israel is an expensive country in itself) you can buy everything on the street for a penny, it will scare you with all sorts of tales about thieves, deceivers, the photo will show)) ) Zh..the Jews have no faith! Remember this, don't be fools! There are huge markets near the tomb of the Lord, you will have 50 minutes for the coffin, take 10 minutes from this time to buy candles and souvenirs for good money) Everything else is meaningless and insanely expensive. Leaving the hotel, walking 5 minutes to the mini market, we stumbled upon the Nabq travel agency, the owner of Roma, but his brother Mustafa works there. He always has a lot of people sitting in the evenings, a very sociable person, knows Russian well) People, well, such funny we haven’t seen prices yet) We took Tiran either for 10 or 15 dollars))) when the guides offered an unnecessary set for very expensive or “kites” (we jokingly call them) from the beach (by the way, there are also two tours on the beach bureau where you can buy anything) offered for $ 20) and took a ride on ATVs (met the dawn) for 3 hours, for $ 6 per person !!! And we swam with dolphins for 35 dollars (on the beach $ 60) per person, when in Kyiv 2 minutes 1500 thousand UAH, then we had 15 minutes and we not only splashed with them, but also danced, skated, and kissed))) ) highly recommend !! Relax wild) Well, umat prices) it would be more days would take something else))
In general, we are sooooo satisfied, the girls with Galop completely guessed our desires and got to the point !! thanks!! wait more!!!
