Твёрдая "четвёрка" Solid "four"

It takes 3-3.5 hours to get to the hotel by bus. One stop along the way. The bus is air-conditioned, so you won't die on the way.
Settled quickly, 10-20 minutes.
I liked the number. On the 1st floor, with access to the pool.
Cleaning is the weak point of the hotel. Although no, it's not. It is foolish to compare 4ku somewhere in London or Nice with 5ku in Egypt or Turkey. I have been there and there. European hotels are of course more expensive than Egyptian ones and the level of service there is different. For example, when I was last in Milan 4k. Cleaning was carried out daily, shampoo gels were replenished almost with German pedantry and placed strictly according to the stencil on the places allotted to them on the shelf. Tea-coffee - a strictly fixed set (for example, 5 bags of coffee and 5 tea and nothing else). But it's not about that.

So here's the cleaning. This is a lame place of the hotel. According to the schedule, it is held from 9 to 17. No, the cleaner came when he liked. When I left him a dollar, he did NOT spin me swan crabs, when I left him, on the contrary, he twisted. But mostly did not twist. Hence the conclusion - a dollar tip for cleaning DO NOT LEAVE. For your dollar does not affect the quality of cleaning. Once came - after cleaning the room sand. I called the reception and asked for a broom (the time was 8 o'clock in the evening). 10 minutes - silence. I called again. I was assured that there would be a broom. 15 minutes. Silence. He collected the rubbish on a sheet of paper with a towel and took it to the reception. He shook out all the dirt and expressed everything that I think about them and about their cleaning. The next day the room was cleaned properly. Shampoo gels were 1 time, when checking into the room. Although, I didn't really need them. Near the sink and in the shower there is a soap dispenser. They had some soap in them. I washed my head and body and washed my socks with them.
Water every day in the refrigerator - they already wrote here. Bottles of 600 ml. Once every 7 days, a bottle of cola-fanta-sprite. Again I had to remind the cleaner for them.
Food.
In the morning
Yoghurts (5 types)
Salads 5-10 types (both fruit and vegetable)
Sausages (2 types)
Omelet (2 types)
Steamed vegetables
Muesli (5 types)
Juice, water, cocoa, coffee, lemonade, milk.
Dinner and supper.
I will not list. Bo just sooo much. I will say only one of the meat specifically was daily:
-Beef goulash
- Baked beef
-Hen
-Fish (looks like a hake)
In general, at least 4 types of meat. About all sorts of salads, stews, etc. - I am silent.
In general, a freshly arrived tourist from a one who has lived for a week is easy to distinguish.
In addition to tanning, the newcomer has a plate with a whole mountain of food on it. In the end, when I looked at such plates, I felt sick (I put so much on myself at the beginning). Then it dawned on me that it's better to try every day. Today Beef with French fries, tomorrow Mambay-Urlukay-ibn-la-layski Liver from the "Arab Corner". The schedule of the tavern in the photo. Was in a restaurant in theirs. Both Italian and Arabic. There isn't much difference. Not because the restaurants are bad, but because the canteen is good.
booze.
Beer (normal such beer). Regular bottled beer 4.5 turns. A little bitterer than our Obolon "Light". There are from kegs, there are bottled. I like bottled better. If you need "resourcefulness" the bartender will splash into a glass of vodka without any problems.
Beer-rum (30 rpm) - Vodka - Whiskey (so-so) - Gin (normal) - at least fill up
Cocktails. Pina-colada-mojito, etc. There are about 20 types in total. I drank little, because they are low-speed. Basically a screwdriver (50% juice - 50% vodka).
Territory

There is. Big. 3 pools. Pretty well-groomed. By the way, they wrote about the lack of hot water. The water in the rooms is heated by boilers. 1 boiler for 2 rooms. For some reason, local plumbers set the temperature of the water in the tank to +75C. Why such boiling water - is not understood? 45-50 will be enough. Here they are "burning" with them. If you go to the utility yard, there are 70 or 100 of these burnt boilers.
10 minutes walk to the beach.
On the beach there is a bar and a kitchen (you can have lunch). With 100% occupancy of the hotel, there are not enough umbrellas for everyone. But there are beds. you just put them somewhere aside. So if you want an umbrella, a table and a screen near the sea. Take seats in advance (for example, at 10 or 10:30), but not at 11 or 12. If you don’t want to be baked by animators-masseurs-barkers. In the window for towels, take the red flag and put it on the screen. You will not be disturbed. Entry into the sea is sandy from the shore. This was the main criterion why Sunrise Marina. The rest of the hotels enter the sea only on the pontoon. The reef is great. There are fish. The slopes are floating. The corals are growing. Divers crawl along the bottom (5-20m).
The shops.
There is a whole block of ARA shops on the embankment. There's a lot to buy there. But we didn't take anything. Went to Adam Market for locals. 20 min walk. or 3$|person by taxi. I recommend walking at least once. Prices there are 3-4 times cheaper than on the waterfront. From what we took there: Souvenirs, dried dates, dried dates, mango, diving tube, underwater camera (150 pounds), beer chips, halva, baklava, seeds and some other junk.
Animation.

Not Hurghada of course. There was once a Super-Mega-Duper evening concert, according to the assurances of the animators, almost Phil Kirkorov will perform there. The first number of the Negro animator read rap. The tourists sat without exception with a poker face, and from his grunting into the microphone I was sucked in the stomach. Somewhere in the distance, local stray dogs answered him. Feeling sad. Went - rolled. Second number. Someone came out in a skirt and began to dance. The chest was there, I remember exactly. After a couple of minutes I saw a beard and an Adam's apple. Apparently this is a specific Arabic dance. Went - rolled. The third number is a trampling man. He twirled and stamped his foot. Just spinning to the music and just stomping. Judging by the expression on his face, the more he managed to raise a cloud of dust with his TOP, the more pleased he was. believing that from those present to everyone such a dance is a curiosity. This is where my mind completely collapsed. Went to a bar and got drunk. after that there were some other numbers, but I did not look at them.
Tours.
There was a rumor here that they say "take from Mido", "take from Frodo". It's all nonsense. The prices are almost the same. What does Vasya have, what does Petya have. For example, I went to Luxor from Aneks. At the same price at Mido (at Petya), there were the following pluses. 1. Official insurance. 2. Dry rations (this is in addition to feeding from the canteen along the way). 3. Instead of the "valley of the queens" (among other places), we went to the "valley of the kings" (it's kind of kosher). Sataya. The same. Olya or officially, from Aneks - the price is almost the same. + Insurance + Dry rations. Although the Sataya reef did not impress me. Well, dolphins, well, a reef. Yes, get a ticket at the reception for 8 euros (round trip) for the shuttle bus and see the turtles and the sea cow in Abu Daba : ). And you don't have to waste all day. Sataya is: Departure at 5 am. 3 hours by bus there + 2.5 by boat by sea. + 2-3 hours there + 3 hours back (we sailed in a 5-6 point storm. I don’t understand points myself, some guy said). The boat bobbed hard, some of them vomited. I went to the bow of the ship. I stood for 10 minutes (the amplitude of oscillations is the strongest there) In general, the roller coaster is resting. + 3 hours back. This tour is not worth your money or the day spent. Better diving. Cheaper, faster and "density of impressions" is higher.
Guide. There was a guide. Good man. Akhmedych - hello! ))

All in all, would I go there again? Rather yes than no. And here's something else! They wrote here that they say that on Ramadan (or whatever they call the holiday), at the end of May they arrived and the staff looked at us like a wolf. So I asked the locals. They themselves confirm this. And it's not the hotel. And in Egypt, and in Turkey will be similar. They say that they say we can’t eat anything before sunset, only drink. And you eat in three throats. Especially because of this, those who semi-officially eat with tourists in the canteen are freaking out, this is the so-called. "White collars". Receptionist, guides, tour guides, etc.
