I am always meticulous when it comes to rest. I like everything to be under control and planned in advance. As well as in everything.
Monitored Ukrainian operators for a long time and every day. I read about hotels here mostly. I remember the reviews about King Tut as a budget hotel for a family vacation, where everything is optimal. I caught a good offer, paid for the tour, looked through the VK group. wrote in Guest relation . There were no special wishes - only that it was not noisy at night and there was a balcony or veranda. And silence . 10 days no one answered. I wrote to the hotel website in contacts and also in contacts from this resource. They answered almost immediately that the accommodation would be the best and not to worry. Okay, let's not worry.
Flight - transfer - transfer went well. At the reception, we were immediately offered to move to the Sphinx for an additional fee of $ 90. She said that the sea view is not important to me, just so as not to have a trash can from the window and with a balcony. In response - just now that's the only thing left. Moreover, this was said by the same person who promised to take care of the best accommodation. If this is true, then I take my words back. Teza King was in the foot for those dates. in standard rooms. And I didn’t notice that there was a full house - there seemed to be few people. In short, I say - let's see for a start. They took me away - I didn't like the room. no balcony , street view , small dirty window , batteries fall off in the safe , in the mini - bar the door telepaetsya on one hinge . They promised to relocate tomorrow. Sadness. From the road tired, nervous, and then there is this. As for me, it was a big inconvenience when you can’t get settled right away, and things crawl out of the suitcases and crawl around the room and tomorrow we have to pack this gypsy camp back. Safe, several times promised to send someone. But you have to wait in the room for an unknown amount of time. I don't think he even applied. The next day we moved, we liked the room, there was a balcony. The safe didn't work again. Again trips to the reception. No result. It's starting to get annoying. In the evening they came up - there was already another shift, a beautiful tall one - he immediately got up, fixed it himself, explained how to use it (there were no instructions) The question is - couldn't this have been done from the very beginning? Another time, we were going on an excursion, ordered lunch boxes, asked when to pick up - early in the morning or in the evening. Hamid, the same one who settled in, answered - in the evening, and whether it is necessary to wake up. I was surprised and didn't believe it. And she did the right thing, When she came to the reception in the evening - no one had even heard of lunch boxes. I ordered again. Of course , no one thought to wake us up in the morning . Again - a question of reception and responsibility. True , they sent a plate of fruit and every day each waffle , nice .

Cleaning is minimal. First there was AbdAllah, just striving for everything to be fine, thanks to him. The next one after him was so-so - often he took away the garbage in the room, but the bucket in the bathroom remained untouched, he forgot to replace the consumables. But if you approach him in the corridor - no questions asked.
Another awkward moment. Hookah . Upon arrival, after lunch, I immediately went to try it out. It was just awful. Something sour and impossible. Throughout the rest, it was in different variations, but it was equally upsetting - there was no smoke, that is, but the tobacco burned, then it burned for 15 minutes, and then everything, then water to the eyeballs. This was interspersed with trips to hookahs, requests, etc. Other vacationers also called the hookah man with wishes. I don’t know, maybe this is my luck - but not in the same quantity and in a row! Only the last 2-3 days were normal, but also not a fountain.
Now about the good, of which there were just an infinite number.
Staff attitude is amazing! Benevolent and sincere, it personally for me overshadows any technical inaccuracies. They knew my daughter by name, dragged her in her arms, hugged and kissed, gave balloons and prepared cocktails.

The chefs are attentive and also friendly. For the nostalgic, who cannot live for weeks without their native cuisine, there are permeni, borscht and pickles. Natalya, the cook, they sang enough praises - I join. On the first day upon arrival, everything seemed poor - except to stay hungry, everything is vegetable. But then - very much so. Breakfast - ate omelettes and pancakes with chocolate, caramel and jams. A few days later there were all sorts of airy buns and croissants that I missed so much. Milk porridges , cold hot milk , corn breakfasts , yoghurts , etc. Lunch, dinner - always meat - fish - on the grill and stews - liver, roll, goulash, cutlets with a baked egg inside. Mackerel, quail, sausages, crabs, kebab, cock - on the grill. Duck, pink salmon (or similar - a big fish). Sea tongue in batter, vegetable casseroles, broccoli, cauliflower in batter, pizza, shawarmushki - very tasty. This is what I remember and liked especially . Salads. Walking often, we did not eat them. The rest is all fresh, there were queues, but if you come in an hour, you can do everything in time, inform, fill up and everyone seems to be happy. Desserts are different. Half of them are biscuits, the rest are soufflé s, such as potatoes - cakes, jelly. From jelly - a beautiful raspberry tongue)) Fruits have been caught all the time - oranges, tangerines, grapes, pomegranates, guava, bananas, grapefruits, dates. Those who complain that meat is applied in tiny portions - and they do it right. Many times I saw how compatriots scoop up plates with a slide - and leave without eating even half. Meat, pizza, desserts, etc. - not bitten! Well, who's stopping you from lifting your butt and taking 2 steps to the side to take more if you haven't eaten enough? Too bad it's all in the trash. Comrades in national costumes and with instruments performed several times at dinners, and they gave those who wished to play. And at the entrance welcomed the animators and chefs, nice. The hall is also beautifully decorated - carvings of pumpkins and all sorts of cabbages. Several times I saw how birthday people are congratulated at dinner - with songs and tambourines, cakes. There is a children's corner with a children's table and chairs, for little ones - children's chairs.
Animation. Very much ! Initially, my travel agent suggested that I also consider Le Pasha (disappeared immediately) and Lilly Land. Didn't fit because I read that there was no mini-club. Well, no hookah. Upon arrival, the guide said that the mini-club is also not working and, as I already understood, the hookah was a disaster. But everything got better. On the very first day, Mido was enveloped in care by the chief animator. Small roared - brought her his doggie. Then he saw that she was all bitten by mosquitoes - he went and brought an aerosol from the store. Each time he approached, squeezed and lisped. She is delighted so far. And then, from such attention, she was completely speechless for 2 weeks)) Lena, the children's animator, as it turned out, was temporarily absent, he himself held a mini-disco, I liked it very much. In general, it is clear that he loves his job and is generally a professional in his field. Well, I can’t say anything bad, although I read everything in the reviews. When they left, he came to say goodbye. Thanks, very nice! The evening program is repeated, but still interesting. We were always in the mood for fun, thanks to Mido and the rest for a nice evening. True, there are few people - in my presence, the show was canceled once. Instead of something like a mini - miss once a week there was a volleyball competition . Before our departure, Lena arrived from vacation. Face painting , mini - disco , spatulas on the beach . I took the children away for a couple of hours, so that the parents could take up dancing, for example. Surrounded by family-cottage atmosphere.
On the beach in the morning the cooks treat you with fruits on skewers. Then Natalia cooked popcorn and rice chips there. From one o'clock in the afternoon, ice cream is there - when it is: like sherbet, and milk, and chilled custard, for an amateur. The bars in the water park and the Sphinx pool are closed. And not for anyone. Sometimes I was alone on the slides. So no hustle. The little one liked it too. True, when I was riding from an elephant, I tore off my hand somewhere on a hill. The man sitting by the pool processed immediately. Playgrounds are okay too. There is a jacuzzi and a sauna on the roof, but they do not show signs of life. The guide said that they did not work, but at the reception we were not interested. A - la carte also does not work , according to the guide . In the Isis bar, there were also no edibles that were announced - there were none, as well as the promised snacks in the lobby or somewhere else. Usually these are all sorts of burgers, pizza, desserts and french fries in other hotels. And here the maximum is buns, and then rarely. Although there is a sign on the restaurant that it is forbidden to take out plates and cups, and in the catalog that you will have to pay separately for the food taken out, the chefs helped us pack it with us, and then we sometimes carried it ourselves. Not because they are completely gluttons - the small one was sick, then fell asleep before dinner. So thanks for your loyalty! The coffee machine almost did not break down, diluted UPIs were in the vending machines (once I typed, and there undissolved sugar was poured into the glass), as elsewhere, 1 type of tea and local soda in the vending machines.
Wi-fi sometimes works better on site than in the lobby. Not so hot, but free (When we were in Rehan, we bought there for a day for a lot of money, but it hardly worked). On the balcony sometimes caught , but only messengers barely . Truth . incomprehensible system with passwords. The password changed every day. But then in the afternoon, then in the morning.

The territory is green, beautiful, bushes - flowers, several playgrounds. On the slides, the children's pool is separated from the adult - no one will fly on the child's head, if anything. The beach in the description is 90 m. Probably the Sphinx beach is not included in this length, but you can enjoy the beach all around. There are more than enough beds. But they themselves are specific - light and in the manner of folding beds. If you sit in the middle. then you will inevitably get a headrest on the crown. because they are not fixed and fold. And if you sit on the opposite side on the edge, it can already cover the entire sunbed, so be careful here. In general, everything around is tired and needs updating. That falls off something , then climbs . But not critical. as for me . The contingent is mainly Russian-speaking. Lots of Chinese, but they swoop in. The general impression is that they got to the South Coast. Almost all staff speak or understand Russian. Gesticulation can also be explained ))
I don't know how anyone could be bored or monotonous there. We had everything planned out. From 7 breakfast, then a run to the sea, exercises. akvazhim, club dances, in between - mask flippers. There is no reef there, but in fairness, I note that there are a lot of fish and much more than in El Gouna, where we were taken to snorkel. Moray eels, every little thing, flute fish, clown butterflies, crabs, hedgehogs and a whole crowd of surgeons! Healthy! I read a lot about them, so such a neighborhood was embarrassing, and I would not say that they are friendly or neutral. Rather aggressive or curious. Then urgently for ice cream. instantly for lunch, change clothes - and 14 - 17 water park. An hour there , at 4 hookah , at 5 they start to poison flies ( and there are many of them and they rise every day ) . Somewhere an hour appears to sit in the internet or go outside the territory or see Let's get married - and for dinner. Then mini-disco, coffee in the lobby and show time. When to be bored? Yes, there are many service providers on the beach. The camel breeder constantly offered rides, announced the price of a van dollar. Then, when they started talking again, after a couple of days - 8 dollars. I say - for 15 half a day we went on a safari together, van dollar - maximum! You don’t need a maximum - he was offended and left, he no longer came up until the end of the vacation. Oh you, how vulnerable we are. But to pay tribute - he also rolled a kid with me for free.
The holiday turned out to be luxurious and varied. A lot of people come several times, and for a couple of weeks. There were a lot of children, and there were quite little ones. The last couple of days I walked with my eyes in a wet place - I could not imagine how I would get used to ordinary life again. In general, in terms of price-quality ratio, the hotel suited us perfectly. Everything was studied in advance and from the very beginning I was sure that only nice people were waiting for us there. I miss everyone I talked to there
The only thing is unpleasant impressions on the first day. Usually, if trouble happens from the very beginning, then it drags on, looking for further evidence that everything is bad. But we persuaded ourselves that we were tired, and tomorrow after sleep everything would be different. And so it happened.

PySy. Sorry for the quality of the photo - before leaving I was left without a camera. I had to take a picture of what was
