Хороший отель, но сейчас экономят Good hotel, but now they save money

We flew to Egypt for the first time in March, before we always chose the end of autumn. This time we rushed between the windless bays of Sharma and the familiar Hurghada. Albatross bribed the service for the same money.
Since the flight was shifted by 6 hours, we settled in the evening. We were pleased that we got a room overlooking the pool and did not have to change it (mostly in other hotels we look at least two rooms, the first one is always bad).
The furniture in the room is solid, there are traces of fatigue of the doors in the bathroom and the closet (my husband had a door in his hands, he screwed the bolt). Of the shortcomings in the safe, the protective film was broken for access to the emergency opening. The husband, having a Swiss knife, scrolled and opened the lock of the safe, tried to change the safe, but "the repairman from the reception, who will be in 10 minutes" never came. They sealed the hole with a sticker and stayed. It can be seen that they were doing a refreshing renovation, but, as always, they forgot to paint over a small piece on one wall. And this piece annoyed 8 days)). Other people from the group were given even numbers with a view of the abandoned hotel, I heard that they tried to change them.

There are no complaints about cleaning. There was a kettle, water was added (the kettle turned out to be a very useful thing, as they warmed themselves in the evening).
We were not very lucky with the weather. Therefore, we considered the beach and the hotel area from the point of view of where it is better to hide from the wind. We were glad we didn't choose Beach. Yes, the bay near this hotel is very beautiful, convenient entry, but in windy weather it is strongly blown from the desert. Albatross Beach is closed by Beach Corps. Therefore, when the first blows out, we can lie down.
Sea, there is a choice. We swam from the pier, tying towels. Watched the fish on the coral. At low tide, the children collected all kinds of living creatures, and when the wind calmed down, they went swimming in Beach Bay. In general, the feeling is that we walked a lot. You need to go to the pier, to the bar, to the pool. I didn’t want to lie in Bich’s anthill, we bought ourselves, warmed ourselves on the sand and to our sunbed. We have a bar and basic infrastructure. Many people opted for sunbeds by the warm pool. Everything was tight there. My daughter did not even go to the nursery with slides (she is already an adult).
We went to the beach hills. The pool is not heated and the wind is not the most comfortable combination. Slides worked from 14.00 to 16.00. We moved out several times, in my opinion they got burned, then to warm up either on the beach or in the pool.
Food. The feeling is twofold. Delicious, but at the same time, there were no olives, they rarely caught fish, eggplants are generally inedible, my favorite falafel is not there. Waffles and freshly squeezed juice, coffee were. To get something special, you need to stand in line for a long time or go around all the restaurants. There you can find a duck, quail (once), fish (but not always) and if you set out to find it. My husband once stood behind a fish on a plate. I'm for the pie. There was no desire to stand again. Additionally, you can eat at the bar near the beach (pizza, burgers, pasta) and near the pool (sweet). Ice cream was the first three days. Then it disappeared. )

I was pleased with the Moroccan restaurant. Atmospheric, without queues and walks. The last day felt comfortable. Daughter, instead of the main dishes, they gave french fries - happiness was through the roof.
Animation. Was. We didn't use it. In the evening there is a disco for children, and then a disco for adults. Thundered up to 11. I would like at least some kind of show... at least sometimes... but no. Played tennis, then in the room to drink tea and hang out in the internet, telly.
