You don't have to read the first paragraph, a little background on how we ended up in Panorama.
It took us about 5 minutes to choose a hotel ...I called my tour operator and asked for the most budget tour for 3 days for two, to escape from snowy Kharkov "suddenly" in February. I didn't even specifically ask for the name of the hotel))) They paid quickly, handed over the children to their grandmother, and began to pack their bags. The trouble began from the moment when the children (4 and 10 years old) and the grandmother decided that things would not work like that and decided that they would also go. And only after paying for all 5 we thought - where are we going after all. Learned the name of the hotel. We read the reviews ...the rating on Turpravda is a little more than 6 ...but we were still preparing for the worst. Those are far from the sea, the food is bad, the rooms are old, there is no heated pool ...but oh well. We're only three days away. Children on the beach will play with their grandmother, and we are going to walk around Sharm ...Here is the preface ...
So, in order.
Settlement
We arrived around 9 am. And the check-in is at 14. But we don’t want to waste a day ...I went to negotiate. The boys at the reception (at least two) speak excellent Russian (this is a plus). So, I say "I give money and you give me a number, BUT NOW. I don't have time to wait. " To which I was asked to wait a bit. Ok...let's wait. They brought us juice-yupi - the children were very happy, showing each other orange tongues after drinking). I approached the reception again, again they say, now we can’t, we can a little later. Then I tried to explain that it makes no sense for us to sit in the lobby, we either check in, or go for a walk until two and check in without money on a common basis. They again said that they simply could not, and asked to wait another 40 minutes. Then we left things in their room, changed clothes and went for a walk. (Before leaving, a guy from the reception came up to us and treated my girls to juice (he gave me a package, thanks for that). We came to 14 somewhere.
Now they were looking for us to settle in). We were given the keys to the rooms.
Room for children and mom:
1st floor, 2 beds and sofa. Terrace with direct access to the dining room and pool. In general, not bad, if you do not look closely. Do not look anywhere ...everything is very old, ugly and shabby (well, for this price everything is EXCELLENT). Therefore, we were happy for the children and mother and went to our room ...
Room for two:
1st floor...view of the road and some bushes...exit from the terrace to the parking lot...shabby walls, conder, which hangs so that it seems that it is about to disappear, and wires are still telepathing from it. The rare TV stands on a wooden stand. A bedside table with a mirror, and on the mirror there is a black lamp on a clothespin ...the ceiling is all cracked ...the smell is indescribable - apparently, they just poisoned someone and there is still left for us to die here. I sat on the sofa and honestly wanted to cry ...
we are tired, kapets, we don’t have the strength to go butt for a room, and we understand what to expect from a hotel for a penny ? ! But damn, I couldn't stay here either. My husband did not care, he convinced me that we only spent the night in it. As a result, 10 minutes in this room and we are again at the reception - and there they tell us that there are no places. I’m already almost crying - purely humanly, I say that I won’t go back there, I just can’t. Either he really believed me and regretted it, or I don’t know why. But after 15 minutes we were taken to a large room on the second floor with a renovation, a huge comfortable bed and a balcony overlooking the courtyard and the pool. No surcharge. We were satisfied with our room, although, indeed, we only came there to sleep.
Bar
We settled in and decided to go to a bar.
And then for the first time they were surprised ...My mother and I ordered brandy-cola, and my husband ordered beer. And now the bartender takes out 150 ml cups, those that are impossible to hold in your hand, because they are thin and crumple ...iiii in one beer - 1 cup! 100 ml.
(Stop. In the reviews here they wrote that they pour as much as you ask for minzurok ... ). We try brandy cola...and leave it on the bar. Everyone knows the taste of Egyptian alcohol. Gross, but drinkable. But here it was something terrible. I thought he added a lot of brandy and little cola ...I asked separately. I dropped it into a cola - and also poured it out. After that, they only took cola at the bar) But people there drank alcoholic cocktails from UPI, I saw it myself! But I didn't dare to try.
Dining room
Rice, beans, beans, lentils, zucchini, peppers, 2-3 salads, beetroot, pasta ...and a spoonful of gravy in which the meat floats + 2 pieces of batter in which, if broken, you can find pangasius) The children liked the fish more in total - we don’t allow chips at home))) For dinner, everything is the same, but from meat - 1-2 pieces of batter with chicken and lamb tortillas - grilled. From sweet biscuits are standard. In the evening, portioned melon and tangerines are handed out. For breakfast - omelettes, milk porridge, boiled eggs.
Salad of warm chopped sausages, pepper, cucumber, a bunch of feta, croissants (but this is for the most frisky ones). And the standard phrase - you will not stay hungry)
Yes, don't stay. We have been in several hotels where they write this in the reviews, in this hotel, believe me, everything is much, much sadder. I never really focus on food in Egypt, but here ...The panorama can really be sold at exorbitant prices, like a fitness tour! ))) In general, you get up from the table with a feeling of slight annoyance - it seems that you ate something, but there is a feeling that you were fooled somewhere) my youngest ate only in the morning these days. Lunch and dinner is a piece of chicken and a biscuit)
Beach
On the first day, we walked along Naama Bay, walk to it (pass through the panorama water park, there are gates behind the clown shower and seem to be closed, open it and go down the stairs, past the ruins of the hotel, turn right, then left-down towards sharm dream resort.
Cross the road and through the fayrouz hotel you get to the Naama Bay promenade. Entrance to Fayrouz Beach costs $8 per adult. Pay at the reception, show your passport. The beach is beautiful (one of the best on Naama), there are few people, there are sunbeds. Nearby there is $ 1.5, a very narrow beach. You can search cheaper, for 60.100 pounds ...but we stayed on Fayrouz, this was once my first beach in Egypt, and we decided to be a little nostalgic).
Panorama Naama beach, located in the Old Town, to the right of the Albatross beach, (when facing the sea) White beach, together with Il mercato vacationers. On the bus that carries (maybe because it's winter), only in the morning, you need to sign up in advance. We signed up late in the evening, and they barely found 3 places for us, and the children were in our arms ...and then when they sat down, they asked for tickets, and were indignant why they were with children. The bus is cramped, it’s fantastic to carry a 10-year-old child in your arms))) I can imagine if it were summer and heat ...
The beach is not bad - small, sun loungers to each other practically, the sea is a bay.
You will hardly see the open sea. But on the other hand, you can safely swim (probably), there is no fear that someone will swim out of the depths). There is no free bar on the beach. And by the way, someone wrote that they were checking bags - I don’t know, they didn’t check anything with us or with others.
Well, the hotel itself ...the main entrance will amaze you with dirty windows and stained plastic. We didn't see any cleaners on site. Although leaving at night we saw a sign "carefully wet floor". By the way, make sure you bring your own cleaning supplies. There is only soap in the rooms, and be glad if it is liquid. Mom had two pieces of laundry in her room) The hotel is constantly noisy. At night, drunken guests rage, the music does not turn off during the day. Drunk guests and companies are a separate issue. I have never seen anything like this in any other hotel, that there are so many ...we were leaving and at three in the morning from the window we could hear the cries of a song like ole ole Dynamo champion ...Well, of course - the price.
Conclusion: my husband saw what a very bad hotel is ...he used to convince me that everything is the same in Egypt, only the beaches are different)) Now he saw what a budget hotel is. Will we return here? I don't know...if the price is $200. And in no case do not go with children here!
Yes, and in the end all the same: the boys at the reception - respect to you! And for changing the room, and for boarding the bus (they could have refused, because we signed up late), and for a juice treat for my children upon arrival, and for bags with an early breakfast on the road, although we did not order and do not take wanted (meaning, if there is no normal food there). And the packages contained juice, orange, tangerine, melted cheese, honey, jam, two buns). In general, what was not in the canteen))) surprisingly)
The hotel really surprised us...we knew that we were going on a homeless tour, but that's the way it was...The people who like it there, 100% were not in normal hotels. Because otherwise I don’t understand how you can write - a great hotel ...
yes, excellent when compared with the Sea of Azov)
The review turned out to be long, tedious, but I think it will be useful to someone.
