Hello. I have been vacationing in Egypt for 15 years, I have seen a lot of different hotels, I never wrote reviews... but now I will not keep silent - I completely covered it.
I was in the Continental 3 years ago - it was great, fun, youthful, chic reef, food (as everywhere in Egypt), and God bless her, smiling and moderately polite bartenders, animation, disco in the evening... in short - positive. I decided to repeat.
Arrived, settled and STARTED! .
1. Beach. An emergency pontoon covered in slime and algae. Walking on it is dangerous - you can break any limb. We were forced to move to the neighboring Continental Plaza Beach - far away, but what to do. In the Plaza, of course, they don’t pour or feed people with our bracelets. We had to walk in the heat to our bar.

2. Bar. It was simply enchanting - every morning when you approach the bar (and there is already a whole council of local management who teaches the bartender right in front of you to send you away and not give you anything), you meet a "friendly" bartender who almost swears at you when you ask them to pour you a terribly watered down beer. "Two glasses one hand" and don't even come close. I won’t even talk about paper sausages that practically throw themselves at your “face” at lunch because you dared to get hungry. 3. Dishes. Only plastic. Glass is only for those who put in a buck. Or for foreigners. And if they didn’t throw this glass in your face, consider that you are lucky today.
4. Alcohol. We went with the expectation of drinking white dry wine. Never drink! Before us there were two almost lethal outcomes. We were warned in time - God saved us. The wine smells like fortified acetone. Poison. Our "all inclusive" was covered with a copper basin ((.
5. Safe. This was the last straw - the Arabs arrived from Cairo, 4 families with children. A day later, 4.000 ye were stolen from them. Kipish was terrible, but, of course, nothing was found. But in the evening, all the local staff were extremely happy and drunk (this is in Ramadan! ) and drank until 4 in the morning at the bar. 6. Canteen. You can't call it a restaurant. Dirty tablecloths at dinner with spilled egg yolk from breakfast. Forks and knives with some woman's scarlet lipstick. Again - a "polite" bartender. I won’t talk about quality - in Egypt this has always been a problem.
7. Leisure. After 5 pm you can only shoot yourself. The animation goes off, the music turns off. And to the question of a 3-year-old boy: why is there no music and so boring? The animator answered him (at five in the evening) - Go to sleep and do not pester!
8. Cleanliness. I never thought that the revolution could give rise to a shortage of toilet brushes... Accordingly, a trip to places not so remote caused only disgust.
Etc. etc.
SUMMARY: Arabs save on everything. Better save some money and go to Turkey.
The only thing that the Arabs have not spoiled yet is the sea and fish))
I wish you all a good holiday!
