Обычный отель Ordinary hotel

Hello everyone, we stayed at this hotel from 30 to 10 January.
General impression of the hotel: an ordinary, not a new hotel with a greatly inflated price tag. For 12 days we paid 126000 (including New Year's dinner), but in fact the hotel, in my opinion, should have cost 75-80.000 no more (and this is on hot dates) . In Marsa Alam for the 6th time, before it was in Lamai, Khabib's Calimera (twice), Crown Plaza Sahara, Resta Grand. I would put this hotel in last place, even if there was a water park.
The rooms in the hotel are very used and it is felt in everything, even washing in the shower was sometimes a problem, it happened either there was no pressure at all, or there was pressure but no cold water, and only pure boiling water was coming. They called the plumbers, knocked something, twisted it, said everything was OK and left, as you understand there were no changes. The air conditioner also worked on even numbers, did not work on odd ones.

The food is modest, the fish is cooked poorly, the meat is better, the barbecue pleased every dinner on the street, the first hotel in which there were no watermelons and melons at all (about strawberries, in general, I am silent), there were also no packaged juices, in general, the hackneyed phrase "you will not stay hungry "It's very out of place, you seem to be full, but there are no tasty dishes.
Staff and service: good service, almost all waiters are polite, fast, unobtrusive, especially if you encourage them with a tip, the cleaner cleaned well, he made all kinds of figures, very slow employees at the reception: to call a plumber, you had to call once and come twice reception, as a result, after 2.5 hours, the plumber appeared, which is why they did not get to dinner. Also, surprisingly, the hotel has no room service. That is, you cannot order anything in the room, even for money.
The territory of the hotel: large, green, much better than in the photo. The water park is great for kids and adults. Many pools are heated. The weather, of course, was colder than in previous winters, but still pleased.
As I understand it, the owner of the hotel has recently changed, and instead of somehow improving and modernizing the hotel in accordance with the time and price requested for the hotel, they are simply trying to squeeze out more money from the former glory of the hotel. Because I read the reviews of 2008-2010 and visited in this hotel, the feeling that the reviews about some other hotel.
In general, think for yourself, decide for yourself. But I will not advise my friends, I will definitely not go a second time even at a cheap price.

A special "thank you" to the tour operator "Coral Travel". We bought this hotel with departure and arrival through Marsa Alam airport (it was important, I was sick in buses), as a result, a week before departure, they changed it to Hurghada airport. However, as you understand, rebook or collect money it is possible in 14 working days and, accordingly, we were in flight. (Many deceived tourists like us flew on the plane and note many with small children), and this is 3-3.5 hours by bus, departure and arrival were like this in a way that we lost exactly 2 days paid. It was paid from 30 to 10, we arrived at the hotel at 1.30 on December 31, and left the hotel at 2.00 on January 10. We used to go through the "coral" and we are our relatives, but after this incident we will no longer go through this agency, and also everyone who does not want such unpleasant surprises should choose another tour operator. By the way, the guide representative of Koral (Odeon) says almost nothing about the hotel knew, we at least enlightened him to how much what and where it works, based only on reviews on the net. So "Coral" really let a lot of people down.
