Hotel ratings by criteria:
Before their trip to Savita, they read reviews on various sites, including English ones, and drove with caution (everyone wrote that they were poisoned, were settled in bad rooms, faced rudeness from the staff and other horrors). Thank God that last year our colleagues rested at the hotel, and they reassured us at least a little.
What I want to say: the hotel is good, new. Let without gilding and stucco, but quite pulls on the Egyptian five stars (European 3+). But, again, whoever is lucky: if they settle in a room starting with 6, then this is the farthest building with a view of the construction site, and from there it is not very convenient to go to the sea, although there is a swimming pool in front of the building. We were very lucky: with 100% occupancy of the hotel, we got a room on the first floor, right next to the children's pool. But we did not escape the sad fate of the battle for sunbeds (we had to get up at 6-7 in the morning to "fill" the sunbed, and then go and sleep on).
Speaking of poisoning. This has never happened to us, although we tried everything in the restaurant. The food is ok, there is a choice. I am surprised by people who write that there is nothing to eat in a restaurant. Dear! I find it very hard to believe that you have at least half the choice of dishes at home. Constantly eat 3-4 types of soups, meat, fish, vegetables, salads, even milk porridge and cereal. From side dishes: and spaghetti, and rice, and potatoes, steamed and baked vegetables. A lot of sweets, from fruits - apples, dates, watermelons, melons, peaches, there were also (though green) pears and bananas. My personal opinion about poisoning is as follows: in view of how much people drink (spirit) around the clock, the situation is like a joke when I drank vodka, wine, cognac, rum, washed it down with beer, and got poisoned with cookies. Guys, moderation is good in everything: do not overeat, do not overdrink - and then you will not be excruciatingly painful and unpleasant.

As for the rudeness of the staff. Sometimes I was really ashamed of my compatriots - their rudeness really simply knows no limits. A simple case: two men who were already well "hungry" (already pronouncing words with difficulty) demanded 10 servings of beer for two at the bar, to which the bartender said that he would give only 4 at a time, and then asked to come up for more. The men were offended because they did not want to run (2.5 meters) again. One threatened to beat the bartender. We had to help a little with the translation (compatriots usually know only beer, cola and vodka in English) and reassure the "comrades". Arabs, of course, are clingy, but if you let them know that you are not interested in relations with them, they immediately stop clinging.
Another problem is language. The staff speaks basic English and the same Russian. Therefore, if you want to be understood, simplify your speech as much as possible. Just do not forget that you are not talking to native speakers, and the speech turns that we are used to in everyday life are not appropriate.
The rooms are cleaned every day, towels and shower curtains are changed. Bed linen is not changed every day. But claims on this score also sound strange: I would be very surprised if you do this at home every day.
And the last thing: you can go to the hotel, but it is better with a good operator (for example, with Tez Tour - their representatives are constantly at the hotel). And yet - the hotel is very good for families with children (1-2 animators are constantly working with children, and you can just "fuse" your children with them and be absolutely calm).
I want to ask you the only thing: remember that the staff are people just like you. In addition: we are still Europeans and, it seems, should be educated people. Let's behave in such a way that later the same Arabs would not treat us like... you know who
