Терпимо bearable

Abroad for the first time. They wanted to go to Turkey, but in August they asked for 2000 bucks for 7 days, which seemed expensive. Therefore, we decided on Egypt for 1750 bucks for 14 days for two. The hotel was recommended by friends who spent their first vacation abroad there. After I took a ticket, I began to read reviews on the Internet and was very scared, because there were much more negative reviews than positive ones. In this regard, they flew to Egypt not in very rosy feelings.
They settled us instantly in room 959 (two-story house), this is the 4th line from the sea. The higher the number, the farther from the sea, so ask for an apartment with a number up to 1000, as you will have to walk far to the sea, and it is not very pleasant to return downhill. In July and August there are enough vacancies to require room selection. You can give 30 bucks - they will settle in general on the first or second line.
Our room was small, but cozy. Balcony overlooking the sea. Lovely double bed (young couples will appreciate it). TV, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, alarm clock and radio. The air conditioner cooled the room very softly, though a little noisy, which you understand when you slept during the first days when it was working. Ants were. Especially in the evening, a dozen crawled into the bathroom to sip water from the toilet or bath. But we somehow got used to them, because they are harmless. Mosquitoes and cockroaches have never been seen. The room was cleaned every day very well. For a day they left a 1.5 liter bottle per room. If this is not enough for you, leave 1 dollar and write Water on a piece of paper. The cleaner will bring you another bottle. Another tip - who loves tea - take a small thermos. The restaurant has tanks of hot water, plus tea bags and lots of sugar. You can dial it, and then in the evening make yourself tea and sit on the balcony.

It's hot in Egypt, of course. It was especially hot from 11 am to 3 pm. The rest of the time it's quite tolerable. I was very surprised that already at 18.30 by their time it was dark. I don’t really like the heat, so my wife and I had such a schedule. Rise at 6-6.30. At 7:00 on the beach. The sea is just invigorating. Until 10.00 - sunbathing, swimming. Then we quickly went to the room, washed ourselves from salt water and had breakfast, which was until 11 o'clock. The main thing is to come to the restaurant before 11, you can sit quietly and until 11.30 - no one kicks you out. Further from 12.00 to 14.00 - a dream, because there is nothing to do in the hotel at this time. With white skin, you can burn in 15 minutes. At 15.00 - lunch and again to the pool or the beach. It is already very comfortable to sunbathe and breathe. It was painful to look at the companies that at 11 o'clock were just going to the beach after a night of festivities. Therefore, Panthenol in the pharmacy diverged for 20 bucks with a bang.
Now about the sea. We arrived in the evening and got to the beach on the first day at about 18:00. This was the biggest disappointment. 150-200 meters to the knee, maximum to the waist. At the same time, garbage in the form of plastic cups, bags and other evil spirits is often found at the bottom. Water in shallow water is about 30 degrees. However, then they got used to quickly running across this shallow part and further deeper, and the water is cooler. I then walked and dived from the pier, which is on the right side. No wonder he took a mask and fins. The underwater world is really striking in its colors and diversity. I'll post a photo. It's great that I took a camera with the ability to shoot underwater. The Red Sea is still amazing. By the way, it is very salty. They said that in second place after the Dead.
There were enough sun loungers for absolutely everyone on the beach, even half was not occupied. Towels are issued from 8 o'clock in exchange for cards. They can be taken and not taken for several days. It was convenient for us, because at 7 am they are still not there. When they came after dinner, the towels could already be all sorted.
We really liked the food. There were no complaints. I will say right away that I have a very sensitive stomach, so stale food immediately "goes sideways" for me. So, for 14 days, nothing has ever failed. Therefore, the one who writes about diarrhea - advice, should not be pushed into the body that is not pushed. I myself observed how dairy products were eaten with cucumbers and tomatoes, or other mixtures that were explosive for digestion were made. I understand that there are people who simply drink kefir with tomato juice, but not all of them are like that. Therefore, keep an eye on food combinations. If you stuffed your stomach to the top - take a dessert or fruit with you and eat them in 1-2 hours and you will be happy.

Special thanks for the pastries and cakes. It was impossible to resist. Who wrote that the cakes are not fresh - pure lies. I myself observed when, after eating, the worker dumped half-eaten delicacies into one bag. That is, the second time they could no longer be laid out in an attractive form. Everything was fresh and high quality. It is clear that not everyone liked pureed soups or local mashed potatoes, but these are the features of their cuisine. In the morning - awesome yogurt. Juices were poured from packages. Although they are not super, they are definitely not yupi. In short, you can tell a lot of things, but the food for us is a solid 10.
Although, the overall picture spoils the local booze. Beer is not bad, but not at all intoxicating, suitable for improving digestion and as a thirst-quenching drink. Everything else (whiskey, rum, gin, etc. ) smells like moonshine. Although they drank more than once and no one got poisoned, even in the morning they didn’t have a headache, but somehow it’s not very pleasant to drink, except perhaps in cocktails. Therefore, a couple of bottles of vodka or other preferred strong drinks should still be taken with you.
Now about the big cons of the hotel. Billiards. There are several tables near the pools, of which at most one is open, while it is located right in the sun. If you want to get fried, go play! Couldn't there have been some kind of canopy? The tennis table is also in the sun and on the street, and taking into account the constant winds, it is impossible to play, because the ball flies away.
Some kind of animation took place near the main pool and on the central part of the beach. Again - in the afternoon on the stove. Maybe for accustomed Arabs this is normal, but for us it is unacceptable. In the evening, some shows were shown at the amphitheater. In principle, you can watch something, but the program is designed for a week, then everything is repeated. Disco more or less, but only acid and fast music. The main pool was singing great woman. At the same time - a lot of dance music. Those over 30, including us, danced more often there. Rock 'n' roll, twist, modern sluggish.
In short, you can write for many more hours, if anyone is interested in something - ask.
In general, the holiday was a success. However, I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stupidly lie down for a week or two from work, it is also suitable for families with children, since the sea is shallow and very warm at the beginning. It is better for young people to travel with a company, since it will be boring for one couple, unless of course you find cheerful friends.
