Тропикана 2*, Жасмин 4-* Tropicana 2*, Jasmine 4-*

Good afternoon!
I am writing a review about holidays in Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh, hotel TROPICANA ROZETTA & JASMIN CLUB.
For those who are too lazy to read - the hotel is not for youth, the animation sucks, the food is less, it takes 15 minutes to stomp to the sea; rooms in TROPICANA ROZETTA - SHIT and it's very mildly said, JASMIN CLUB is the norm.
I’ll clarify right away: TROPICANA ROZETTA is a viper with a dining room, JASMIN CLUB pulls at 4-*, the restaurant is normal, but there are not enough places.

Last year we rested in Turkey in a youth hotel and therefore, on the advice of a travel agency, we took vouchers to TROPICANA ROZETTA & JASMIN CLUB, also a youth hotel with discos.

Upon arrival, we decided not to give 20 bucks at once and see where they would settle us (in Turkey, we got a good room without money). The porter grabbed the suitcase at the reception and of course fucked a couple of bucks. Settled in TROPICANA ROZETTA. We go into the room: PPC! I am not a whimsical person, but on vacation I don’t want to live in a pigsty.
The floor is just dirty, the air conditioner on the ceiling is apparently one of the very first developments ...it only works as a fan and buzzes like a tractor ...the furniture is all broken and old ...the curtain in the bathroom is covered with mold (more precisely, there is a shower), hot water is barely warm and oozes with difficulty!
The next day I managed to change my room for 20 bucks and move to JASMIN CLUB. Here the room is another matter: everything is clean, the furniture and repairs are in order, the water flows well. Of course, the bathtub is dirty, the carpet is poorly vacuumed, but compared to the previous issue, this is a fairy tale.
At the expense of food: who lives in the Tropicana - eats at the restaurant at the reception. It's not bad, but the food is lacking, the service is G and there is less choice. In Jasmine, the service is good and everything is an order of magnitude higher! But there is one fat asshole who does not like Russians and is trying not to let him in there ...(send him to X ... ). You will immediately recognize him, he kisses the hands of foreigners and almost licks his ass.
But in fact, during peak hours in the restaurant there are no places ...you have to wait.
You can get to the beach like this: you went out, crossed the road and a little to the right you go through the Hilton hotel, and to the right along the coast along the path to Viva beach. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE BEACH CARDS AT THE RECEPTION! ! ! Without cards they will not be allowed on the beach. They also provide towels and sun loungers. There were always not enough sunbeds ...(at the expense of cards: there are also yellow cards. They will be issued with a room key - this is to take towels in the pool). There is also a bus to the second Wind beach, it also needs cards (check at the reception which beach you need). It is pointless to wait for the bus, because it takes 5 minutes to walk from Viva to Wind, and the bus makes a detour!

Animation Entertainment: it is almost non-existent. In the evening, some bullshit happens for an hour and that's it ...There are no discos in the hotel ! ! !
Alcohol: apart from beer, I do not recommend drinking anything there! ! ! It is better to buy whiskey in Duty Free and drink it. I drank a couple of times - it was crappy.
Yes, everything is expensive in Egypt's Duty Free, it's better to take it on the way there (for home).
Swimming pools: there are 5 of them. One is for children (I have never seen anyone there). At the very top in Jasmine there is a swimming pool where you can play volleyball, a waterfall ...it's more or less. But there the bartender is a moron ...he’ll pour something ...he’s always fucking ...But to the left of the Lobby bar (with billiards), next to the arena for animation (without going up to Jasmine to the previous pool) there is a pool where only foreigners usually. There are blue beds and towels. The coolest pool, great bar and no queues))) I recommend it!! ! !
In general, everything. It remains only to tell the pro-excursions. It is convenient to buy them right on the beach))

Excursion to Israel: SHIT! ! !
It costs 80 dollars. If you are not a deeply religious person, then you have nothing to do there! I'll start with the road: you will be picked up at 23:00 and you will reach the border for 3-4 hours until everything is collected from all the hotels. At the border, you will pass it for 2-4 hours. By 6:00 you will arrive at the Dead Sea.

The stump is clear, the shops there are still closed. . BUT there is one working with Russian staff. If the price of the cream is 30 shekels (10 dollars), then they have it 30 dollars. So see if you need it ...Then go to Israel for a panorama (view from the mountain) and then to Palestine (you spend most of the tour in Palestine, not Israel. You also eat in Palestine, because it’s more profitable for the tour operator ...eating there sucks and the canteen too). In Palestine, they take you to a shop where they sell crosses and icons. Don't take anything there. If you really need it, then on the way further from the Arabs or Jews in the shops everything is an order of magnitude cheaper (an icon instead of 60 dollars - 20; a cross with oils instead of 15 dollars - one buck !! ! ! ). Then the temple tour begins.
If you don’t worship God, etc. , you’ll die there… 3 hours in line at the temple to look at the icon… it’s PPC… it’s hot, these priests who always collect money… The point is: you write notes as if to God and you give them to the priest, but you have to pay a dollar at least... he won't take them without money... selling bastard! ! ! ! And by the way, they throw out notes without reading them, if someone has illusions about this! ! ! They only want dollars. In general, then go to the temple in Israel, it’s better there and they don’t require money and they let you in shorts, they generally treat people calmly. But the guide runs right through this temple in all corners, kisses the icons ...horror! ! ! We said that we would go for a walk and met this crowd with icons already at the exit. At the end, you go to the wailing wall, but there is not enough time for it because the whole day has passed in the temple. As a result, apart from the Wailing Wall, the Dead Sea and the views from the bus, you will not see anything ...and well, you can also kiss the icons ! ! ! )))
The way back is PPC. You did not sleep the first night on the bus, then the day of the tour and half the night back ...arrive at 2 am! If in Israel the bus is normal, then in Egypt they are taken to a bucket in which the air conditioner does not blow, but the stove works. In general, I do not really recommend this tour ...with children, do not even think of going there !!!!!!!!! ! !

ATVs.
Good extrusion. It costs 20 per person if one is on an ATV and 25 bucks if you are two on one ride. They take 30 minutes to the place. Then eat in single file to the Bedouins. There tea and back. All together 3 hours.

A boat with a transparent bottom.
Briefly: you can't see well, there are a lot of people, it's stuffy. Costs 10 bucks per person.

Yacht with diving in the sea, 7 hours.

I didn’t take it to where they were taking it - for a taxi driver for $ 3 and a 10-minute drive, you can get there yourself (the beach is behind the water park, you go down the mountain to the Pantone). And I don’t see the point in cuckooing 7 hours on a yacht. Costs 30 bucks per person.

Riding on a cheesecake / banana.
Cool, they take you fast and for a long time))) there is a cheesecake 15 bucks per person.

For prices: we spent 600 bucks for two on a 10-night vacation there. But let's just say - this is a very budget option ! ! ! ! If you don’t go on excursions, that’s enough. A lot of money is spent on excursions on the way ...for souvenirs and so on ...especially if you buy in charged stores.
