the day is short, really. The wind is as lucky, not always. To give or not to give is a matter of "to be or not to be". There is no answer to it. Try not to give at first, and if you really don’t like it, then look at the situation.

It’s different in all hotels, I haven’t been to yours, I don’t know, but in Palm Beach we didn’t give money and they settled us unsuccessfully. In the morning, my husband solved this problem, they just changed our room without any additional payment. In Movenpick (Taba) the numbers were already entered on the check-in sheets, it was useless to give money. But they arranged the numbers for us and we did not try to change them. guide, and ask for help. You will always have time to give money. February-March is indeed the windy season and the day is short. In general, not the best time to travel to Egypt.

I agree with what was written above. Giving money is worth it if you do not like your rooms, where you will first be accommodated.

we never immediately give extra money to the reception
first we go look at the room, the keys to which were issued
if everything suits and works, then there is no need to pay
and if we are not satisfied with the number,
then we return to the reception and with the help of bucks
change to a better number
enough 10-20 USD

I have just returned from this hotel. Upon arrival there, our guide immediately told us that in order to give a good number in the passport, put 10 dollars. The rooms were immediately excellent with views of the pool and the sea. It’s better to ask for the 4th-5th floor, you won’t see any insects there, except for flies)))) no money will help from this there))) The hotel is excellent, there are winds, but it won’t be cold anymore, since winter is officially over there . In general, we came from there in awe, and if there were coral reefs there, then there would be no price for him. But unfortunately, Hurghada can not boast of this, if only to take an excursion to the coral reefs. It costs 35ue per one, they are taken to 3 islands (more is not needed)

In fact, all guides are advised to give money to the reception, but in my opinion, this is just to "strengthen relations." we didn’t even give money at the 3 * hotel upon check-in, they gave us a normal room, everything worked, but we wanted to change the building and floor. no problem and no money. 5 bucks were just given to the boy as gratitude ... everything, like everywhere else, depends on the person

If you give it right away, they will still give the same number as they should have given without money. I was in January, returned on January 16, the sun was gone by about 4:30 pm. for the fact that the suitcases will be carried, for the fact that they will pour you more than usual. At your discretion, but don’t be fooled at all, they are already paid for this, this is their job.

Why not reward good service?
Especially since their salaries are low.
But I am against brazen extortion.

The hotel there is very large and there are enough rooms on the side of the construction site and construction debris, and believe me, it’s better to immediately give these unfortunate $ 10, so as not to spend these precious hours running around about changing the room, and they will bother you there for half a day. At the reception, they are so insolent that if you don’t give money, they will pretend that they don’t understand you and that’s it. And it takes so much time on the first day to check in and sort out the suitcases. And then more problems with the safe, because it very rarely happens that everything is fine with it, and the master comes either at 11 or at 5 pm.

Why then go to this hotel? After all, there are normal hotels, with good beaches and reefs, with not so impudent receptionists.

The answer to your question lies not in Egypt, but in our homeland. The fact is that a standard room with a view of the construction site, or the sea initially costs different money. Our operators book rooms in advance, and guess which ones they buy. For $10-20 you can be given to choose a room from those that your tour operator booked, and if you ask for a better view, then they offer to pay extra for each day of your stay. That's why there are a lot of complaints that ours are accommodated in the worst rooms, and the buildings and the Europeans in the best.

Then you need to be prepared for additional expenses when buying a tour here. And it’s not so painful to part with money there.
But the impudence of some employees of any hotel is a separate conversation.

When I first came to Egypt, I also had resentment about the attitude towards us. For the second time, while relaxing in a five-star hotel, I was introduced to the German owner, and he gave smart answers to all my stupid questions. According to what principle they settle us, why the bartenders don’t like us, it turned out to be nothing personal, just pure business, if you look at how the Germans get drunk, it’s five or at most six glasses of beer on the floors with a sprite, and a tourist needs a Rousseau to reach the same conditions at least a bottle of vodka, or whiskey. To our great regret, our "cool boys with heifers" who were the first to open these resorts, spoiled the staff very much, throwing huge tips on the right and on the left, they taught that we must always pay for everything lordly.

miki08 Well, I don't quite agree. The bartender doesn't care how much you drink, he doesn't pay for it. He does not care how you do it and how you will treat him at the same time. "cool boys with chicks" who first opened these resorts showed their extreme bad manners and a very bad attitude towards hotel staff. Therefore, initially they had a very bad opinion about the Russians. Unfortunately, in very many cases it is confirmed even now. How many times have you seen a German woman at the reception screaming at the top of her lungs because she was told to wait until the room was cleaned? And the Frenchwoman? How many times have you seen drunken Germans climbing over the bar, brazenly pushing the bartender aside and pouring themselves, while shouting various obscenities at the bartender at the top of their lungs? And the French? Italians? That even the Poles? But the Russians are always right there.
And even if there are good people among the Russians, then they are not noticeable, it is noticeable that the fools and the conclusion is made precisely on them. Now, if I see a gypsy woman, I immediately feel disgust, although this particular gypsy woman may not be bad, but the stereotype wins. The Egyptians do the same. Although if you behave well with them, they will quickly make friends with you and everything will be ok.

Dear Amir1 agrees with you, our other vacationers can get anyone, unfortunately here you are 100% right on everything, but in most hotels you no longer slip checks to sign, bartenders are given a certain amount of alcohol per day, and everything that he saves then this is their fat, I always have my own little geshest with the bartenders, and therefore I had no problems with them, but I heard their complaints that we were emptying all their stocks from them.

Fully agree with Amir1. It’s a pity that all this has a place to be. It’s a shame that the Russians have proven themselves this way! And now all respectable tourists sometimes have to experience a negative attitude towards themselves!

I was in this hotel during the summer. It is better to give 10$ at once. smile and ask for a room overlooking the pool and the sea. because if you just ask for a room with a sea view, then you will be given such a room. only the sea will be visible if you go out onto the balcony and turn 90 degrees. nat 6767 would also like to know if the hotel itself has changed for the worse, whether everything was pleasant.

I don't know how it used to be here, we liked it very much. If you do not find fault with all sorts of little things, such as how tiles are laid out on the floor, then everything will be fine. The animation is excellent, the guys are trying 100%. There is a heated pool, my child splashed there with pleasure. There is enough entertainment for everyone, so don't even worry about it. And I highly advise you to take all sorts of nuts, squids and fish in bags from here, I really want this there, especially with a beer by the pool)))

I'm going to Egypt in the summer, but already now, when choosing a hotel, I choose a floor and a room with a sea view, and I pay accordingly, like everywhere else and always. Can it be that upon arrival I will not receive what was ordered? Could this happen in Egypt?

Dear hessen, the fact is that tour companies book places in advance, many redeem a year in advance. We have already discussed this issue, the fact is that even an ordinary standard has a different price in a hotel, depending on the location and the view from the window. Our operators buy the cheapest numbers. You can simply be deceived during the sale, there have already been such cases, people ordered a floor, a sea view, and upon arrival they are explained that there is no such room for you, or officially pay extra for each day of residence. At least that's how the owner of the hotel explained to me.
