Decided to write a review right off the bat. So let's start with the location:
- [ ] The hotel is close to the airport. The whole journey took about 15 minutes, which is a plus. The hotel itself is on the second line. The area is small, but clean and beautiful. On the territory there are several 3-storey buildings. We checked into the hotel at 7 am. Immediately put on bracelets and offered to go to breakfast. Check-in by standard at 14:00. In order not to wait in the lobby, we immediately changed our clothes and went to explore the beach. At 10 am, other tourists from our group approached the reception and asked for a room. For $10 they were settled immediately. They said to wait without additional payment, although the hotel was 40 percent full. We basically decided not to pay. As a result, I went to the reception again at 12:00 and they gave us a card from the room without any additional payments. Immediately a porter ran up, grabbed the suitcase and carried it to our building. Resistance was useless. We were given a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the garden. Well, how is the garden? This is a small strip of grass, bushes and then a fence. And behind it are ruins and a wasteland. In principle, it did not bother us at all. The porter stayed in the room until we gave him $3. The hotel itself is combined territory with two more Albatrosses (Aqua Vista and Aqua Blue). You can freely walk on all three.
- [ ] The room was clean and new. There was a large plasma, two beds (we moved them into one), a kettle, different types of teas, water for two and towels. The bed and towels are white. We are resting for the 4th time in Egypt and so far this is the best room ever. Room cleaning every day. They pick up great. Every day, different figures were made from blankets and towels, and petals were sprinkled on the bed. Towels were changed every day. Here, the cleaner was left a tip from the bottom of his heart every day. The room has Wi-Fi. Works tolerably.
- [ ] Food. Food, as in Egypt) a standard set of dishes. There was something. You won't leave hungry. True, from seafood there were only stewed squids and baked fish. Fresh vegetables, herbs. From fruits: melon (the very first one ended), guava, dates, orange. Nothing else. Sweet table is poor. You can't choose anything in particular, everything is the same. For food, I can put 3.5 out of 5. But we didn’t come to eat Judas)
- [ ] Animation. Animation in the hotel is. In the morning I saw darts, water aerobics, stretching a couple of times. In the evening there was a children's disco, and after the show, the program was either near the main building, or on the territory of the Aqua Blue hotel, or in the amphitheater (one for three hotels).
- [ ] Sea. To get to the sea, you had to leave the Hotel, cross the road, then go through the entire Albatros Beach Hotel and there is already the sea. The road took about 15 minutes. Or a bus went every 30 minutes from the hotel and to the beach. We walked through the Albatros Beach Hotel. It just has a great area. You go and love. True, if you are with children, it can be inconvenient. Since the temperature in the morning was already 31. And during the day it rose to 36. The beach itself is divided into two parts. Where 70% is Albatros Beach, and the remaining 30% is the beach of Albatros Aqua Park, Aqua Blue and Aqua Vista hotels. Now there are fewer people, all the sunbeds. Grab your head. The sea is very cold. But. From the side of the wild beach (it is immediately on the left side of the sunbeds of our hotels), the water was much warmer. Entry into the water is gradual. Which is a plus for kids. There are almost no corals, no fish either. If you are going for the underwater world, then you will have to choose either another hotel or excursions. There is also a bar on the beach where you can have a bite to eat at lunchtime. There were vegetables, french fries and hot dogs. Alcohol and drinks are poured without problems in any quantity.
- [ ] Aquapark. Of all the slides, only 4 work, a few hours in the morning and a few in the afternoon. In principle, this is enough, although sometimes you have to wait for circles. The children's water park is open.
- [ ] All pools and sea close at 17:00. Beach towels can only be taken once a day. If you want to change for lunch for a clean one, they won't let you.
- [ ] There are 3 bars on site. One near the water park (surprisingly, they give only two glasses of a drink, if you want to take more, drink it and come back), another one in the lobby (open until 24:00) and one near the children's water park (snack bar, in lunch there you could eat pizza, sandwiches and french fries).
- [ ] And now about what spoiled the impression of the rest:
1) This is the manager from the reception, who asked for $10 for a settlement. When I asked him if it is possible to use the pools in another territory, he said no, everything is paid. Although in fact our tourists rested there, and we have them without any problems. And he talks with a face like we owe him something.
2) And the second. This is GUIDE AHMED. On the second day after arrival, he gathered us all in a sports bar and began to tell what and how. His main phrase is: respect me and I will respect you. Everyone who came, even children, had to come to the meeting with the year to fill out some sort of declaration. Otherwise, he threatened that he would almost put those who were not there on the plane back. Then he began to sell excursions for an hour. After that, we all had to return to the lobby and wait for him until he came up to everyone and took the declaration. And those who do not want to go on excursions had to wait another hour and a half and then turn to him. We didn't want any excursions. Almost everywhere they were already and calmly sat and waited on the couch. When he walked around everyone, he came up to us and said: what excursions do you choose? We said we didn't want to go anywhere. Then he replied that he sees in our eyes what we want, but not through the Anex tour. To which we said that he was wrong. And then he answered us: haven't you heard that someone refuses to go on tours to come to me then. We look at him... well, firstly, he came up by himself, and secondly, he no longer had other people. As a result, Mr. Ahmed came in and took our declaration with our written refusal of excursions. By the way, at the meeting, he said that upon departure, the hotel removes your bracelets at 12:00. And if you have a flight later to approach him, then he can agree to give you a meal, provide a shower. But when he found out that we do not want excursions, then this is for us: to eat? (And we have a flight in the evening). Through the cash desk to extend the number until 18:00 ($ 35).
- [ ] On the last day we checked out at 12:00. We cut off our bracelets. BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO EAT AND USE EVERYTHING. As we understood, the guide was just filling his price.
- [ ] By the way, losing a bracelet costs $100. Room cards or towels $35.
In principle, they were satisfied with the rest)) I will give the hotel a solid 4 *. There is something to compare with (sometimes 5s come across much worse). The ticket was bought for 2.200 UAH. A little hasty. Then it got cheaper. But for the money it's just a great holiday! )
Although next time we will pay a little extra and choose a hotel near Albatros Beach.
