When I was informed on Wednesday that I had been on vacation since Monday, I was seized with slight jitters, because I had not planned such a development of events. A little effort, and exactly one week later, on my birthday, April 1.2015, at 5:20 am, the plane of the company "Northern Wind" takes me away from the Samara land and carries me to Egypt, Hurghada, the Dessole Marlin Inn Beach Resort 4 hotel. For the first time I visited the same hotel for the second time (the first - from December 24.2014 to January 3.2015), so I will compare.
Our check-in is the very first, as the hotel was under restoration for 3 months. We were greeted with music, drums, balls, of course, smiles and cocktails. We went straight to breakfast. Settled in the room. Room 432 - in the main building, on the 4th floor, overlooking the sea. Having hoisted the flag of the Russian Federation on the balcony, they ran to the one they were waiting for a meeting with - the sea.
RESTORATION OF THE HOTEL. To be honest, I didn't notice anything new. Probably, there was a minor repair in the rooms, to replace the furniture. But in general - everything remained unchanged.
NUMBERS. On NG they lived in room D-302 - without a balcony, this time the room turned out to be better, although by and large this is not important for me. They only slept and washed in the room, well, what else is there to do? But I concluded that living in the main building is more convenient.
CLEANING. As always, non-Russian speaking hotel staff. In winter, they spun swans for a tip, this time for $ 2 they laid out on the bed with our own “Love” cards. Eh, urgently all the cleaners should be sent to towel rolling courses. And acquaintances were told a crocodile with a remote control in its mouth. Cleaned up? Well, the floors were probably clean, otherwise we would spill peanuts, then chips, and I also broke the mirror. Everything was removed. Have the towels been changed? Like yes. The bed was well made. Our things were not touched.
TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL. The hotel is compact, small - I like those. By the end of the race, you already know everyone. Cosy. At the reception there are nice sofas with tables, enough for everyone. There is absolutely nothing to go to the sea, on NG the sea was +23 degrees, in April it was about +25. For me, the most comfortable temperature - I like the water to cool.
HOTEL STAFF. Friendly Arabs, but if you are without a man, then sticky, like bath sheets, which is very annoying. The waiters in the restaurant invite you on dates, on the sly, because it is forbidden, of course. This time there was an incident at the beach bar. Beer is poured into tiny plastic cups, about 150 grams each. I went for beer, there are 6 of us, so the bartender: “In one hand 4 glasses”, defiantly left, then came. He spoiled my mood, although, of course, he received a heavy verbal return from me, poured as much as he needed. They also saw a boor in a shop, he said to one Russian woman: “Go, there is no money, you only come to the sun, the sea. ” The boors are still very unpleasant.
ARAB. In general, they are friendly, but sticky - kapets. One called himself A. S. Pushkin, with a terrible accent began to read the poems of the poet, so he wanted to sell us his goods. They are often called by Russian names, apparently, they want to inspire confidence in us, but it turns out the other way around.
ENTERTAINMENT IN THE HOTEL. The animators are trying, in the morning on the beach they sound the program for the day. At sea and on the shore - exercises, step aerobics (buzzing), aqua aerobics (it doesn’t pull on aqua at all, such as easy exercise), bacha, volleyball, mafia (there was no winter). In the evening, on the site in front of the pool - a performance, then the Comedy Club, then Mister or Miss Marilyn. From 23 to 3 hours disco. The animators also amuse vacationers on the beach, for example, they dressed up as drunken pirates, staged a performance. Even in winter, there was a foam party on the beach during the day, in April for some reason this was not the case. Special thanks to Richie - a mega-charming guy, cheerful and interesting. Since NG, the animation team has been updated, and this is for the better.
And yes, a big minus for me as an Internet user is that Wi-Fi practically does not catch.
VOLLEYBALL. If you like beach volleyball, then feel free to go to Merlin - sports pleasure is guaranteed for you. There are a lot of young people, respectively, a lot of active guys and girls. In winter it was great, they played from morning to evening, in April the sand heated up quickly, but we found a way out - we watered the sand with a hose.
DISCO. Every day from 23 to 3 hours - disco. Quite acceptable music, however, once it was like “retro”, but the songs, I think, are from the 70s). An excellent bartender, very dexterous, showed such miracles, special thanks to him for a great mood. There was a good cocktail with coconut milk, I advise you to try it if you like sweet drinks, it ends quickly.
FOOD. Oh food! There are sooooo many of her here! You can eat without a break, be sure to feed somewhere. The first breakfast generally starts at 3 in the morning, the guys immediately went to eat after the disco) Standard, but very good. In the morning - a dry breakfast, milk, rice milk porridge (without sugar salt), baked potatoes, vegetables, pasta, some cutlets, sausages, cuts - cheese, vegetables, salads. I really liked the baked eggplants - with cheese or minced meat, or tomatoes, yummy. Lunch is more varied, french fries, stewed chicken, meat (rarely), pizza, stuffed pita bread, fish in batter, baked in folklore are added. There are a lot of cakes, but many of the same type. In the morning, mostly from puff pastry, at lunch and in the evening - from a biscuit.
FRUITS. The hotel gives melon, guava, pomegranate, oranges, tangerines, bananas (everything is chopped, and even pomegranate is picked out). In winter they were greenish. In winter, excellent mangoes and strawberries were sold near the hotel, at $2 per kg, and in April there were already leftover strawberries, but also at $2, and mangoes were different, yellow, like in Thailand, and expensive - at $7-8. Back in April, I took home physalis and large dates in a package, also at $ 2 per kg, so for some reason they quickly disappeared.
ENTERTAINMENT OUTSIDE THE HOTEL. Since this is not my first time in Egypt, I prefer only recreational activities, in particular, quad biking. In winter, the cost was $15 (bargained at 12), in April - at 25 (bargained at 22). Friends went to the island - they said that there was nothing exciting. They took a package of vouchers, and as a gift they were given an excursion on a glass-bottomed boat. The boat itself is about nothing, the bottom, for those who saw the living creatures of the Red Sea in Sharm - too. But the captain! Ibrahim was very cheerful and sociable, he entertained us. He told local customs, scored shells, and what hats he wound for girls! Personally, I was Nefertitti) In general, we really liked him (as well as swimming in the lagoon), and we left him a tip.
In general, I liked everything very much, I never understood how people go to the same hotel, and now I think that I would come here for the third time. In winter, at NG-2015, excellent guys rested in Marlin - Michael, Danya, Lena, Ilya, Muscovites Vitya, Zhenya, Sasha and Vanechka. In April - Sergey and Zhanna, Airat and Rezida, Natasha, Sasha and Rita.
