I am writing a review because before I went I read all the available reviews on the Internet and 90% of the reviews were negative, but still decided to go there.
I went to rest with a small child (4 years old), so I chose this hotel solely from the reviews of tourists about the beach and the entrance to the sea, because for a child this is important, before that I was in Egypt once in Sharm 10 years ago in the best hotel at that time, but I remembered the entrance to the sea from the pontoon for a long time. We flew in, went through passport control very quickly, literally in 5 minutes, there were also no problems with getting luggage, I flew from Coral, the meeting side of Odeon, we got to the hotel quickly, booked a room for Laguna, based solely on the reviews of tourists, I wanted privacy, at the reception I met the manager of Odeon, handed me a card from the room and waved his hand straight, go, says the numbers are written there, and they will bring the suitcase to you, I asked where to go again,
but he was already at the exit of the hotel, once again waved his hand and said that I would understand, as a result, I walked around the hotel for half an hour looking for my room, completely sure that I needed a lagoon, the employees could not show me, as a result, I was delirious to the aqua center my patience ran out, they let me call the reception and I made a scandal demanding that they see me, I called them three times, as a result, an employee came and took me to a room in the central building, of course I couldn’t find him, because I was sure that they would settle me in the lagoon, after objections, they sent me on an excursion to the lagoon, the room was no, some kind of triangular shape, small, with direct access to the street overlooking not a pond, as previous vacationers wrote, but a gray puddle in a concrete fence, again at the reception asked for a room overlooking a quieter place on a non-central courtyard, so to speak, they sent me upstairs, but there were two separate beds,
but the beach there with dried corals cannot be entered without shoes, and even then only in certain places, neighboring beaches are limited, it seems that they are the same, but when walking along them, I found out that this is not one beach, but several territories separated by a rope belonging to different hotels. They fed monotonously, but tolerably, for two weeks of rest there were no problems with digestion, not for me, not for the child. I specially sniffed at what the plants were watered with, I didn’t find any smell, but before leaving, once there was a smell like on a goat farm, we ate on the street and it just wasn’t pleasant, even my son noticed, about the smell from boats, I don’t agree, yes I felt it three times, but it lasted literally 15 seconds, the constantly blowing wind blows everything, and I never found gasoline stains in the water. There were ants and even mice in the dune and lagoon rooms, they are poisoned there regularly, but the pungent smell remains, people complained,
mosquitoes are poisoned by spraying some kind of acrid smoke all over the territory, the smell is disgusting, once when everything had already dissipated, turning on the air conditioner at night, I realized that all this anti-mosquito smell came from the central air conditioner to my room, it was very unpleasant. And now back to the sore subject of this hotel, that there is no restaurant there, I completely agree, this is a dining room, very reminiscent of our Soviet one. Every day, three times a day, I watched from my balcony how, 10 minutes before the opening, all the staff lined up and gave a tough briefing, it was disgusting, because it seemed that they were being taught how to save money and not let them take an extra piece from the table, for the first time I saw this, but at each pan or tray there was an employee who gave out 20 grams of this or that dish, at first I tried to set myself up for positive,
but by the 10th day of my stay, my nerves were giving out and I just impudently demanded to put me a piece of fish, if it says fish, and not fried onions and yesterday's pepper with the smell of it, then I just started pointing my finger at certain pieces and putting as much as I see fit myself , it got to the point that at first they served 1 crab, I don’t know what they are called correctly, but they’re not big, they’re round, there’s probably 20 grams of meat, and then after three days they figured out that one crab is a lot, and began to cut them into two parts and give half! Given that the hotel is empty, there is a major overhaul in the central building, it didn’t bother me, because the whole day on the beach, but in the afternoon my son was sleeping, and I had to call several times and swear about the work of the jackhammer, to pay tribute the complaint was attended to, but the sediment remained. Free ice cream only from 2 to 4, the rest of the time for the money,
there were no fruits at all, except for sliced oranges and finely chopped apples floating in a vat in water, they also threw such pieces of melon there, a watermelon for only $ 3 a plate, as well as kiwi and guava, which, in principle, are always plentiful in Egypt there was....there were still fresh dates, but then 400 people arrived at the hotel, mostly citizens of the Russian Federation, and it began... there was even less food, there were more inspectors in the kitchen, we had to eat either in the children's kitchen or on the street, there at least at least there are fewer of them and they don’t look intently into your mouth, our citizens are still the same, I always rested in decent, not cheap five-star hotels and everyone was decent, but here they came for dinner in T-shirts and shorts, for lunch, and in general in bathing suits, sorry, fat body, at best, tied with a transparent rag, I have never seen anything like this, it is very sad about this for the culture and education of our people. cucumbers are cut into slices, tomatoes are in short supply,
nothing is thrown away, everything is recycled, so I was not surprised when I found pickled eggplant in a plate, with a diamond pattern cut out, which stood as a decoration the previous evening, but I was ready for this and tried to take simple food, not cut, did not hesitate, removed from decorations , I chose tomatoes with a fresh sharp cut, and not yesterday’s limp ones, I didn’t take salads, I mostly ate rice, pasta, eggplant, by the way, the most delicious of all offered, I demanded to cut the salad in front of me, when they showed me ready, stomped with my foot and again demanded to cut from a whole head. When vacationers arrived in large numbers in the evening in the central courtyard, so to speak, where the windows of the most expensive rooms go, a local singer began to sing, it’s impossible to fall asleep, she called and cursed, they answer me: this is a disco, it’s very good, I’ve never seen discos in buildings where live. By the way,
they really don’t know how to do massage, don’t go, it’s good if it’s just nice from smearing with oil, but they can cripple, they behave like top-class chiropractors, I myself have a masseuse diploma, it was scary that I forbade doing it and left.
RESULT: in principle, I was satisfied with the rest, as I was prepared for it in advance, thanks to the reviews, but I was lucky if the hotel was filled like in winter, when sunbeds were occupied at 5 in the morning, my nerves would have passed for sure, and the child was fine, for it's more important to me. But I won’t go there again and I won’t advise people accustomed to a civilized vacation, these are three and a half stars with a provincial audience who have come, sorry to get drunk for free.
