для влюбленных в море for lovers of the sea

HOTEL GUIDE AHMED (ANEX TOUR) - a specific boor. Demands that travel vouchers be handed over to him for stamping at the agency. Allegedly, without this stamped voucher, outside the hotel, the police can arrest you as an illegal immigrant. Returned my voucher still without a seal. I ask: what about without printing? Answer: not required. Why did you shake your head? I went out into the city every day, the police were not interested in my person even once. The cost of excursions from Anekstura is greatly overpriced, refused. Ahmed demanded that I refuse in writing, wrote. Then he says, write that you undertake not to contact other travel agencies. Sent. Behind. I recommend Grand Blue Tour, st. Sheraton, 26, representative Tatyana, went with them on a one-day excursion to Cairo-Pyramids, for $55, a good bus, air-conditioned, an excellent guide, a well-thought-out program. Paid $10 extra for an hour ride on the Nile. Impressions are simply mega, but physically 7 hours of travel there and 7 hours of travel back is hard. Departure at one in the morning and return somewhere at 23:30. They bring papyri and oils to the store. Lunch without drinks is included in the price.
ROOM. When settling, I did not pay money. They offered a room in the third building, refused without looking. I say, find a good number for me (and smile). After 10 minutes of waiting, I found room 503 in the house to the left of the reception. I gave the porter 1 dollar, I was not indignant. Showed everyone where the sea is, how to get to the restaurant. The door opens with an ordinary key, a card is attached to it, which is inserted into a special slot near the door and electricity appears. It is inconvenient - it is impossible to put, for example, a camera during the day to charge and go to the beach. The entrance to the room is separate through an individual verandah with armchairs, I did not see or hear neighbors. According to my estimates, these houses are for 4 rooms, including apartments. In the room: a large bathroom with a wide washbasin, a spacious shower, soap, shampoo, toilet paper in sufficient quantities. There is no hair dryer. In the room: a bed with a double orthopedic mattress, pillows had to be removed (stone - it is impossible to sleep on them, it is better without), a wardrobe (15 coat hangers), a chest of drawers, an armchair, a TV, a noisy air conditioner, a telephone. Without insects. There is no kettle, safe, dishes. I asked for a cup at the reception - they gave it out. In return, they invited me on a date - I refused. Of course, everyone is annoying there, and waiters in bars, and passers-by on the streets, and merchants, but a polite and firm refusal is adequately perceived in most cases. A safe is provided at the reception at no extra charge. The luggage storage room is also there, left the bag, nothing was missing.
CLEANING. It comes down to taking out the trash and changing the towels sometimes. The janitor should be poked with his nose where to clean. Cleaned used towels a couple of times, didn't bring new ones. I called the reception, I got a brilliant answer: come to the reception for towels yourself. After cleaning up a couple of times, the cleaner left and forgot to lock the front door. The last straw was his offer to have sex! I made a huge scandal at the reception, they called the senior manager. He apologized for a long time, promised to fire the cleaner. I don't know if that's true, I never saw the goat again. As an apology, they brought flowers and fruits to my room, from that day on, 3 people cleaned me every day, to the conscience. The floor was washed with shampoo, figures were twisted from towels, the bed was changed daily and strewn with flowers. I didn't give money. Valuable things (camera, money) left in plain sight - nothing was missing. At the meeting, all the staff walked around me in a wide arc.

FOOD. I had half board. Drinks only at breakfast. In the morning I had to stand in line for an omelette. Boiled eggs, boiled potatoes, vermicelli, beans, oatmeal, pastries, vegetables, sausage (inedible), sausages, cheeses, limes were offered. Tea - chifir, coffee - slop, juices from Yupi. Dinner: fried chicken, gravy beef, battered or stewed fish, potatoes, vermicelli, rice, a few sauces, a few salads, stewed vegetables, steamed or stews. Lots of different desserts. There are few fruits. The queues are long, the Arabs are gaining huge portions, the Russians are climbing without a queue. I took medicines - they were not useful))) I never had stomach problems, I didn’t stay hungry either. Claims only to the cleanliness of the dishes and the neatness of the tables.
The TERRITORY is large, well-groomed, green, many exotic trees, everything is in bloom, it is very pleasant to walk. Several swimming pools, shops, cafes, Health club, playground. Tour desk. In the Health club massage salon (building six, to the right of the restaurant) I took a full body massage course for $ 50 (after a long haggling). Masseur AMR, received unearthly pleasure!! ! I especially felt the benefits of massage after a trip to Cairo, I recommend it!
BEACH sandy. It takes about 8 minutes to go to the nearest shallow beach from the reception, to the far deep one a little longer. Fish, rays, corals, dolphins, crabs: everything is available. Interesting to watch every day. Go down the stairs to the sea. There are enough sun loungers, towels (there are large and smaller ones) are issued daily free of charge on a card from 10, and must be returned at 17. Bar, music, animation only on the nearby beach. The sea is pure pleasure! High waves only after the passage of a large ship. Everywhere there are showers with fresh water - free of charge.
So, this is my first visit to Egypt, and the first hotel of such a low standard. Despite some annoying troubles, I'm happy with the choice, spending the night, throwing things away, eating without risk to life and health is acceptable. The sea will not be worse because of the low service of the hotel! I was traveling from across the sea, and it did not disappoint me! And the rest, gentlemen, it's three stars, not five, and in Egypt, not in Europe! It is foolish to count on a chic service, but the money is small. For 13 nights from 08/29/15 with half board and single occupancy, I paid about $ 500. I will add, I speak spoken English and a little Arabic, which is simply necessary when communicating with employees at the hotel (the senior manager does not speak Russian) and when leaving in town. I really liked the people in Egypt, in the general mass are friendly and sociable. Even their muffled women will always respond with a smile))) I wish you a pleasant stay!
