Hotel ratings by criteria:
Rested with my sister and niece in Egypt for the first time. The hotel was recommended by a travel agency.
Pros: 1) Location. Located on the beach, 5min walk from the room and you are on the beach. Also located in the city. You can go to the nearest shops (but you have to bargain everywhere). 2) The sea. There is also a sandy entrance (suitable with small children) and corals with fish (for those who want to snorkel). 3) Nutrition. The meat was chicken or turkey, beef, 3 types of fish (they made cutlets, chops, grilled); there were potatoes, rice, pasta, fresh and stewed vegetables, several types of soups. Various sweets. From fruits melon, pomegranates, tangerines, oranges, bananas, guava, dates. Lunch was ice cream on the beach. 4) Animation. On the beach, darts, belly dance, zumba, water gymnastics. The kids club was open from 10 am to 1 pm. At 20.00 there was a children's disco, after which there were various competitions (miss of the hotel, the best couple, a show with glasses, swords and fire, etc. ) After that there was a disco for adults. There was billiards, table tennis, several exercise machines. 5) Russian-speaking staff. Almost all Belarusians and Ukrainians were in the hotels, a few Russians and English-speaking. Almost all locals know Russian here. There were no communication problems.
Cons: 1) Settlement. The front desk has 2 shifts of 2 people. One of which we got. We arrived somewhere at 10 am, and settled only about 3 days (because they refused to pay $ 40). The rooms will be either on the road without a balcony, or on a construction site with a balcony (they didn’t sit on it because it was noisy from the construction site, but they used it to dry clothes). If you pay extra, they will give you a view of the pool and the sea. 2) Housekeeping . It seems to be cleaned every day, but the replacement of bed linen leaves much to be desired (it was originally of such a kind that you might think that someone had already slept on it). In the middle of the holiday, they asked to change and even removed the old one, so we were covered with old sheets and a duvet cover of the wrong size. 3) wi-fi does not work in the rooms, only near the reception. The password is given there. Only it doesn’t work on all phones (I still couldn’t connect)

We didn’t swim in the pools, because. the water was colder than the sea. We went on an excursion to Luxor (they didn’t take it from a guide 2 times more expensive), we liked it.
