I want to share my story of a holiday at the Jaz Belvedere 5 * hotel. We rested in building 16. Upon arrival, we were settled in the farthest building from the sea and the main building. We occupied two rooms and were with small children under two years old, we turned to the Russian manager Andrey at the reception and asked us to overpower us closer, since it is not very convenient to walk far with small children in our arms or in a stroller, he smiled very sweetly and said to come tomorrow, as there will be a large departure of tourists and we are doing everything to satisfy the wishes of our customers. And we will definitely relocate you. We approached the next day, Andrey began to look anxiously at the computer and compose a new story that there were no more rooms available, well, only now and only for us, he can quietly overpower us closer for $ 30 per room.
It turns out some kind of nonsense there are no closer rooms, but if you give him $ 30 for a room, then immediately and the rooms are free closer. We decided not to indulge Andrei’s impudence, because yesterday he smiled sweetly at us and poured sweet sugary sweetness into our ears, how everything is wonderful with them, how quickly they respond to every call from a tourist, how quickly they fulfill all the wishes of a tourist, and today it’s a completely different conversation . About our desires as tourists. In one of the rooms the safe did not work, it was never fixed, in the other of the rooms there was no blanket. Called the receptionist, and no one brought it. It's good that in another room there were 3 blankets, sorted out among themselves. And the manager Andrei is hypocritical, I repeat, a cloyingly sweet person, as they say, softness makes you sleep soundly, by the way, the beds are not comfortable, the pillows are also hard. On this we decided that we would continue to walk and it is good for health.
On the third day of stay in the room, a new disappointment and an unpleasant situation were discovered. I went to my wallet, and there was not enough $ 100, and this was with the safe closed, yes, then I talked with my girlfriend; the guys called the police, no one found anything, they shrugged. I can imagine the grief of these vacationers. I didn’t apply for my $ 100, because I understand that I’m in a foreign country and no one will help me, tourists arrive and fly away, no one will prove anything, the Egyptians are somehow not very friendly and welcoming to us. They just started carrying money around. But my bitter assumption is that the cleaners steal the money, although they left $ 1 every day. So be vigilant and attentive to money, jewelry, etc.

The food in restaurants, like in hotels in Egypt, is even good, there is seafood, shrimp, squid, mussels, red fish, crabs, although they don’t know how to cook them, burnt from the grill, there is always a cock, beef, beaten pitching, turkey, an abundance of fruit . Mandarin, banana, orange, grapefruit, guava, apples, strawberries, melons. There is even dietary food, and there is also something for little children to eat, which is why they relax here with children. Food is very good for Egypt. Here is a plus. There is no reef here, there are 10 varieties of fish, it is very windy in December, the water is cold at first, but then the body cools and it is already warm, but it is unpleasant to leave the water because of the wind, the entry from the shore is 100 meters knee-deep, swimming from the pontoon there are no hotels nearby.
You can walk to the right along the coast or the unfinished path to the Baron Hotel, there are shops with fruits and souvenirs, there are more of them than in the jazz hotel and the prices are cheaper. I won't go to this hotel again. And in general, after every time we are swindled at the airport for hours in lines, there is no desire to fly to Egypt. Like a third world country, terrible attitude towards tourists. Flights are postponed, they are picked up from the hotel 6-7 hours before departure. The airport is smoky and smelly. No comfort and human relations. In general, because of the arrogance and indifference of the Egyptians, I think not to fly there.
