We returned less than a week ago, I read the reviews and marvel. Guys, have we been with you in different hotels? ? If not, then how to explain that I did not see any midges, or flies, or poisonings ???
Were with my husband for 12 days, in general, I really liked it. For objectivity, I'll start with the disadvantages:
1. There is no bottled water, you can’t fill a bottle, you can’t take fruit out of the restaurant. However, this did not stop me from pulling both, batting my eyes "Sorry"))) But the feeling that you are stealing did not leave and it is unpleasant, I agree.
2. No paper napkins. Strange - wipe everything, including spilled on the table, with a rag napkin, we will spend money on washing, but we will save on paper napkins.
3. The show program is repeated every week and those who have a rest for 2 weeks watch the same African show, fakir show and Egyptian evening twice.

4. And, perhaps, the fact that some Soviet citizen brought the fashion to take sunbeds at 6 in the morning. You used to lie in the sun, and in the shade someone's towels sunbathe. You leave the room - all the same towels, without the owners. But this is no longer a problem of the hotel, but of the culture of vacationers.
ALL! The rest was great!
The room was cleaned daily with linen and towels changed. Tipping was left 3 times for the entire period, the difference was not felt.
They didn’t remove the bracelets at 12 days, and this is also important - in many they remove them and hang out before departure hungry and sober))))
The staff at the restaurant met at the entrance, specified how many people, picked up a table (I specify, not for money, but for thanks and a human attitude).
The staff is generally friendly, trying to joke and pay attention to everyone. Once in the Nino bar, when appetizers were served, the bartender quietly handed me a plate of melon, although it was not among the appetizers. Another time I took a watermelon in a restaurant, the chef asked me to wait and brought out just sugar, not the ones on the tray. The third time the cook baked me a pancake in the form of a chef who cursed at him)) I repeat, this is not for a tip!!!
What kind of harassment and dirty hints are we talking about?? ? It seems to be wishful thinking))
The territory is large, green, so many pools. This is the first hotel where it is not forbidden to swim at night, people were sausage at any time))
Now regarding animation. Comrades, the animator is not a clown, he does not entertain, but maintains the mood. If you are not in the mood, then you and Madonna with a live concert will be "weak". Personally, we were "sleepy", as you put it, the animation saw off (Nadine, hello! ) on the day of departure and entertained us after work and walked with us, although we had to get up at 7 in the morning. She also introduced us to the guys who are Russian non-drinkers. The animator performed its functions for us by 200%! You just need to want to have a great rest, and not look for flaws.

About the sea. Lots of fish, broken corals in many places. But we did this - we got on a minibus, for 1 pound we went to a wild beach. It's between the Titanic and Sea Life, right across from the sunken ship. There is virgin beauty, corals, huge fish, even a small shark was seen. Again, let's start with ourselves, my husband, diving, pulled out several plastic bags, but he could just shout "ay-yay-yay, what a dirty sea"
Last thing about food. A lot of reviews that poisoned. I think you got poisoned by poor-quality food, you need to read how you ate too much. It, of course, beckons for breakfast to drink milk, eat a fruit salad with grapes, have a bite of cottage cheese and more wine. But this is a classic of the "then I got sick with oatmeal cookies" genre. Repeating the same menu at home I don't think it will be good. Yes, the food is not as varied as in other 5's. But, it's good quality. The main thing is not to pack everything in your mouth, but to choose. I have never eaten such excellent pasta and pastries anywhere.
Summarizing, so as not to languish with my stream of consciousness, I will say this:
1. If you are going on vacation, you will love it. You will find like-minded people, if you do not need it, just relax. If you go for shortcomings (oh, horror, some compatriot threw a cigarette butt past the ashtray) you will find them, I promise)) In general, go to the Crimea before your vacation. And evaluate how much they will charge you there and for what) After that, Egypt will seem to you a paradise on earth, practically a charitable organization)
2. You can find a better hotel, but Grand Plaza earns its money by 100%.
There will be questions, please ask. I will answer everyone.
Greetings to the staff of the Grand Plaza from the "Best couple of the hotel" from Ukraine)))))
