Первый отпуск в Египте) First vacation in Egypt

This holiday gave us many different emotions. But I'll start in order . . The three of us rested, me, my husband and son. Let's go knowing in advance that Ramadan is coming . . From the very beginning, somehow everything went wrong. The flight was delayed, at the airport we spent at least 3 hours in line and filling out documents. We arrived at the hotel around 23:00. No one even offered water. It's good that friends took off on another flight, almost a day earlier and gave us a number next to theirs, we just had to take the key. Got rooms on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool 400th superior. Honestly, when I went up to the room, I wanted to go home . . the first thing that caught my eye was a terrible plywood door. Going into the room in general, everyone was shocked . . Musty smell, dirt all around, old furniture, rusty plumbing, in short shock!! ! Then friends arrived in time and said that they had already examined everything here, there are no better numbers) Although, as it turned out later, they were still better - these are the 600s and 800s in the last two buildings.
Then I will briefly list the rest of the shortcomings... The cleaning of the rooms is terrible. For a tip on the first day, they cleaned up well, then the same story . . The air conditioner hummed like an airplane and water dripped from it. They repaired it just before our departure)) The main restaurant was also not very clean. The food is mediocre, tasteless . . On the 8th day, the husband could no longer even tolerate the smell of this food. The child ate normally, leaned on desserts and fruits. The watermelons were very tasty, but we didn’t see them often) Only rum could be tolerated from alcohol. Nobody brought drinking water to the room. We stocked up on water in the evening. The occupancy of the hotel is very high. There are a lot of pensioners, middle-aged people and couples with small children. There are many Russians who will get drunk and bawl in karaoke in the evening after dinner. We had no choice but to go for a walk either around the hotel, or along the beach, or in local shops for souvenirs,
which, in turn, did not differ in diversity and local color) These are the most obvious shortcomings that you could close your eyes to, as we did)) The advantage of this hotel is the beach! It is huge, about 800 meters long. Has its own pier. And many, many coral reefs to the right and left of the center of the beach. Of course, a mask and fins are simply necessary here. All this is sold in local shops, but your own mask of good quality is a thing !! ! Making our long swims, we met a pepper moray, saw a giant moray eel in a hole, an octopus, a striped lionfish, butterfly fish generally lived in myriad quantities on a reef near the pier, Napoleon fish, 6-8 rhinoceros fish, whistle fish we watched whole flocks on the coral reef of the neighboring Lotus Bay hotel and many, many other beautiful fish. We could not resist feeding the fish with bread)) There are a lot of small crabs on the beach,

especially often they meet closer to sunset. We did not meet only a turtle, although someone on the beach said that he had seen it. An integral advantage is also the windsurfing station. Both professionals and novice surfers were engaged here. For 3 days of training with an almost Russian-speaking instructor, my son learned to ride a board with a sail quite well))
On the territory of the hotel there is also the Amalia restaurant, which we never went to (we just didn’t find the time), a bar near the main restaurant, on the beach and by the pool, where we had lunch or replaced lunch with delicious pizza. In conclusion, I will say one thing - the beauty of the sea, its amazing underwater world, its gentle water will be remembered for a lifetime, and the rest are trifles that no one will remember upon arrival home!! ! Have a nice holiday!! !
