Hello! The hotel is not bad, of course, if you are vacationing for the first time abroad))) We also read reviews plus recommendations and chose it this year. We got a good number 2220 ($10 upon check-in), spacious, everything worked, nothing was missing: phones, cameras, laptop, everything was left on the table. Money in the safe, in the pockets of clothes - everything is in place, but before leaving the room they always closed the balcony, went to the city - no problems, but always left $ 1 before cleaning. The beach is also for every taste, but. . . at 9-10 you will be left without sun loungers, you need to take a place around 6-7 in the morning))) One morning I woke up at 5 in the morning, went out for a smoke and. . . I saw a woman with a towel hurrying to take a seat on the sea !!! ! It became so disgusting that we did not take a seat that day. Before that, we rested only in 5 * and there were never any problems - people came and left at any time (even in Russian hotels), rested, took things away, and here towels sunbathe all day long !! ! I won’t prevaricate, I did it myself so that the family could relax by the sea. But even this early morning run did not overshadow the wonderful holiday mood, like the struggle for survival in a canteen restaurant !!! ! Since the days of the Soviet Union, I have not seen such queues!!! ! The mechanism of the meal itself beat off all the hunting: at first you wander like a ghost around the hall and look for a free table (tried at different times - the beginning, middle, end of breakfast, lunch, dinner - the effect is approximately the same), if you are lucky and immediately found it, you need to book it, put it on the table glasses, cigarettes, pieces of paper, rags and other rubbish at hand, but this is not the worst thing)))). And then the most interesting. . . you get into one live queue, like in a mausoleum, instead of coming up to take what you need and leave, like in all normal hotels, you languish in the queue and see who indulges themselves ahead of the queue, but it’s interesting that the Germans were taught to this or they us. And once a German woman yelled at my child when he wanted to look out of turn to see what was in the assortment, it’s a pity I wasn’t around, or maybe it’s good, I’m a peace-loving person, but a Russian-German conflict could arise again)))). Amazing egg breakfasts! I also see this for the first time, in the morning, except for cellulose sausages and sausages of the same quality (Turkish-Egyptian recipe), no normal meat !! ! And the wave-like selection of the menu, that is, there is nothing (you will not stay hungry, but... ), then abundance (squid, crabs and shrimp). A few words about the guide from the Anex tour, Mohamed. A very kind person until he realizes that you don’t need his excursions, we have already seen almost everything and wanted only the sea, seafood and fruits, and upon learning about this, he said that he didn’t need to call if there were problems)) ) But there are also many positive aspects to leave the mood with which you arrived until departure. The staff is attentive, you can solve all the problems with a smile. The hotel is spacious with many plants, deserted paths, everything for a quiet family vacation))). For lovers of extreme sports, wonderful ATVs at the hotel, the guys work there are friendly, for $ 25 you fly through the desert for an hour, instead of 15 minutes in a tedious column (which is usually offered by a tour operator). If you need fruits, hibiscus, yellow tea, I recommend that you go to the merchant Ali (Aladdin) shop of essential oils and quietly ask to bring what you need from the city. He will be sold cheaper than you)))). If you have any questions, write and I will answer)))) My vacation was a success (but we will not go to this hotel again), which I wish everyone)))) Good luck!!! !
