Compared to 2002, the hotel has deteriorated greatly, but the change of owner probably led to similar changes. The territory, of course, is quite large, but the rooms are all old and in need of repair for a long time (Although we are talking about the rooms in which Russian tourists are accommodated, because other foreigners, as well as the Arabs themselves, are accommodated in normal rooms overlooking the sea and with good repair ).

The main thing that unpleasantly surprised was the boorish attitude of the hotel staff. Even tips didn’t help, drinks were brought for an hour or simply ignored, if you wanted to sit outside and there were no appliances, then the waitress came in an hour and threw the appliances almost in your face, showing how it infuriates her to serve you here.


It should also be noted the unfriendly, and even boorish attitude of the guest relation named Elena, apparently the Russians and she also saw in the "coffin", so it's better to communicate with another girl, though in English.
It should also be noted that the guide Sheriff (Aneks tour) was also very unkind, he reluctantly communicated with us, did not even mention excursions, did not solve any controversial issues at all, and he also had big problems with sending tourists, some forgot to take away to the airport, and they tried to get us out of the hotel a day earlier. But, as soon as we bought a yacht on the beach of the hotel, the Sheriff immediately ran up, with an offended look, said that we owe him money, and in general he will still show us "Kuzkin's mother. " In general, where the Anex tour is looking at is also not clear at all. Why keep such employees, it seems that our market is oversaturated with the offer of tours, why can't we hire decent employees. The last unpleasant aftertaste was left by the restaurant menu, it was impossible to eat the same thing for 11 days, so we spent the second part of the holiday in another hotel, with better food and staff attitude.

And now about what I liked.
Night show programs. True, they were only 1 hour, but the fakir show presented by a local Arab animator impressed everyone, if you go to the Intercontinental, then be sure to go. I also really liked the Lebanese restaurant (it was possible to go there 1 time for free). I can only say that we signed up with Elena, but either she forgot, or something else happened, but they didn’t want to let us in there for free, so we went for a fee, but the waiters who didn’t understand before, and almost pushing us out of the ass with their knees restaurant screaming you are not supposed to go here (in Arabic they understand), when they saw the bucks they immediately smiled happily dragged us the menu and seated us at the best table (we were alone in the restaurant), the local ensemble of dervishes immediately came from somewhere, which played local tunes for us all evening. And the food was quite edible, unlike our Laguna restaurant.

Well, to be honest, we had a good company, so no matter what, we had a great rest. so if you go to this hotel, take a lot of good friends with you and then small troubles will not be so significant for you.
