I will not go into emotions, just describe our holiday. I went on vacation with older children, so many factors were not taken into account. We arrived around 8:00 am. I must say right away that in Egypt we rested 15 times, and maybe more. Previously, when checking into a hotel with an early check-in, the first thing I listened to was please leave your things and go to the restaurant for breakfast, then come to check-in. Breakfast is currently not included on the first day. Not the question is the concept of the hotel so the concept of the hotel. We left our bags 3 km away from McDonald's, walked around, had a bite to eat, and returned just in time for 12-00. I forgot to write that at the reception they offered to pay extra for 25 dollars. for a room and check in from 10-00, to which we smiled and went to McDonald's. Upon checking in, the battle decided that we were Rockefellers and asked for a tip of $10, for which he received a message along a well-known route and $1. The rooms are very tired and dirty.
No matter how long I stay in them, only spending the night is therefore not very important, but if you have a fad about this, then you are definitely not here. It was cool at night, but the air conditioner does not work for heating, you can not even try to turn it on, it gives an E4 error. Rooms on the first floor are warmer. We had one room on the second floor and two on the first. The bed was changed 1 time, the towels, in principle, did not understand, they were changed or simply hung to dry, soap and shampoos were added 1 time. Next is the meeting with the guide. They picked us up and took us to the conference room. thank God that he told information about the departure, for beginners it is important, he said about the hotel you will figure it out yourself and started selling excursions, it was a very unpleasant moment for those who did not take excursions. We had to fill out a questionnaire and give it to the guide. So, if you do not buy a tour, then you can give the questionnaire only from 12-00.
People wanted to just give up and go sunbathing, but they were literally told that he was busy, come after 12-00 and not earlier. On excursions, we took the panoramic, Soho, Mount Moses and the Bomba. I will say in general terms, they are more expensive, there is 2 times less information, it is very dangerous on the mountain, there was a hurricane wind, some girls were knocked down, our guide disappeared at the most dangerous section. We climbed the mountain and we don’t understand this is the end point or somewhere else we need to go. As a result, we saw the dawn and turned back. I don’t know about the season, but at this time this excursion is a survival game. The bomb was canceled due to a storm in Dahab, they replaced it with a VIP yacht. A VIP yacht is not a question of a yacht, as it turned out. The most ordinary yacht stood nearby and steeper. VIP this applies to the program, as the guide explained to us. I want to note that we really liked lunch on the yacht, but everything else was wasted money, since at this time there is a very cold wind.

I was able to get into the water only at the first stop, my son had diving, he, chattering his teeth, climbed into a wet suit at the second stop, at the third there was a sandy island, we didn’t go to it, it was very cold. Conclusion at this time of the year there is no point in taking such excursions. Now back to the hotel again. Restaurant, you will not die of hunger, but if someone is used to diversity, then again you are not here. Although, in principle, everything was fish and meat, rice, pasta, potatoes, grilled vegetables are standard, but get ready for the fact that the brightest dishes will be served to you in portions, defiantly refusing to add anything. on the last day at the restaurant there were wild queues for food, apparently a lot of vacationers arrived. The beach bar is something. I managed to try the hamburger once in all the time. That is, a certain amount of food is given out, if you did not have time to take it, then you are out of luck. I'm used to you lying down, sunbathing.
Hungry, I went to take myself either a potato or a hamburger, in any case, this was the case in past hotels. If you don’t want to leave the beach, you ate fast food at the bar and continue sunbathing. This number will not work here. If you want to try seize the moment and stand in line in the hope that you have enough. forgot to write about the bar. I found out about the fact that in the bar from 7-00 to 10-00 you can get free grain coffee quite by accident, although if you look very closely it is written on the price plate below, and the girl who went on an excursion with me, this coffee for two days in a row sold in the morning. I must say right away that for a dollar, coffee is made much tastier. About animation, it is, Pilates on the beach, jumbo and water gymnastics, in the evening a children's disco and a show program, I did not notice any competitions or games. On the territory of the hotel is quite large and beautiful, but dirty. tables are not wiped, and the floors are dirtier than in Soho Square.
The conclusion is that the hotel is most likely given 4 stars because of the large territory, and so it hardly reaches the top three.
