Gentlemen, comrades or dear friends, protect yourself from planning your vacation at Magawish Swiss. I was in Egypt for the sixth time and I have never met a more terrible hotel in all respects. Believe me, I have something to compare the same 4 * to which Magawish Swiss belongs today. I'll start in order. I arrived on March 8 and stayed there for 11 days. Magawish Swiss is a 3* first line hotel and nothing more!
Accommodation at the hotel is organized in such a way that without a green note, i. e. dollar or euro, not to see a more or less good "bungalow" or what can be called this word. I had to put a $20 bill at the reception, after which I got a room much more comfortable and closer to the sea than the previous one, located in the desert. At the same time, the registrar made such an expression on his face, as if he would do me a favour. This audacity amazed me! But here the fun begins!
The tour operator issued registration sheets for filling out, which were in English. ATTENTION! Watch what you sign, because there is one unique point there: The hotel administration is not responsible for things and valuables. And here you will be offered a microscopic safe for 1 euro per day at an extortionate price. Why the euro, they could not explain to me! On the Internet, information is provided about a free safe at the reception. Draw your own conclusions. The deception begins from the moment you cross the threshold of the hotel.

About the so-called bungalow, I already let me keep silent. These apartments are barely 1 point. I was struck by the fact that there was not at least a small bottle of water in the refrigerator for the arrived tourist. Service is broken everywhere!
Try to leave $ 1 for the maid so that he does not rummage through your things. And mostly cleaned satisfactorily. Sometimes he made swans and hearts from towels, which cheered me up.
The beach wants more in terms of cleaning and the quality of the sunbeds. We arrived on March 8 and we had to borrow sunbeds from the very morning at first. Fortunately, after 4 days their number increased and today there are no problems with this. The sea is cool, but clean and you can swim. This is the ONLY positive thing about Magawish Swiss!
No animation team! These are people who studied, but did not finish their studies! With the exception of their boss, they are simply impossible to evaluate. Disco Horror! The entertainment program is boring and of the same type. Therefore, I understood that young people found entertainment in alcohol and hookahs. Personally, I went to bed at 21:00.
Restaurant service and food deserve more. Russians are treated with disdain and deep Egyptian disrespect there. The arrogance and arbitrariness of the waiters surprised me! They allow themselves frivolity, so put them in their place right away! At best, invite the administrator of the hall and make a claim! They treat Germans, Scandinavians and other foreigners much better, because. receive tips and therefore a table is always served for them and there is always a place.
The 11 days spent did not leave much positive from the hotel and the conditions provided. The service is disgusting and the food is repetitive, except for the occasional baked goods!
But now I know what a hotel in the desert is, because there are practically no green spaces. But if fate has thrown you there, create your own rest and try not to pay attention to the surrounding discomfort. And it is best to buy a ticket to another hotel, even if it will be more expensive! You will still win more!
For those who are in Egypt for the first time, this hotel may seem good enough, but this is for those who have not seen another level of 4 *.

Two words about the tour operator Anekstur. This is a very passive and lazy tour operator. In addition, the concept of punctuality is completely absent here. If the tour is scheduled for 10 am, at best, the departure will be at 11 am. They cannot be interested in the cultural program, so most tourists simply lie on the beach all day. Their work can be rated at 2. I have not met a better operator than Teztur.

I wrote that the quality of services in a five-star hotel does not match the money paid. About how indifferent the Cretans are towards tourists. I didn’t like it, I wrote about it. Different impressions from my review are indifferent to me !!! if you want to sit on the couch - sit, your problems. Don’t tell others!

Elena is very strongly scolded by tourists in her reviews. If you allowed yourself to be rude towards us, I would scold you too, because I try to write the truth.
