We went from AnexTour at the end of July. Transfer by Azur Air with quite comfortable Boeing 767.737. At the airport, we politely asked for a seat by the window, they listened to us. Departures and arrivals were on time. There are no claims against the carrier.
We were taken from the airport by bus to the hotel, but on the way people were taken to other hotels, and ours was the last one on the list. We arrived at the hotel around 23:00.
The hotel waited about 15 minutes until we were given the keys to our room, and one of the workers, grabbing our suitcase, went to show us our room (he was not satisfied with one chocolate bar, but the "van dollar" did its job). As the manager at the reception said "Oh, room 6222, eye is a good number, you're in luck! "
We are really "pavezlo". The number was on the second line. In the morning we woke up from the fact that the air conditioner only cooled the corridor of the room (at least take it and lie down on the mat under the door).
The drain in the toilet also did not work, the water supply in the tap turned out to be the same temperature and dosed, that is, water flows for 15 seconds, and then you listen to the sounds of an empty pipe for 10 seconds.
After talking with other vacationers, we were convinced that it would not do without a surcharge. The feature of this hotel is that there is a sign right at the reception: Room on the first line with a view of the pool - $ 20, with a view of the sea - $ 30. Of course, we first turned to the reception with a complaint about the shortcomings of our room. The manager politely and carefully wrote down everything on the sheet and it seemed that people would really take the problem seriously and somehow try to solve it. But, unfortunately, no one was going to fix anything or offer another room.
Therefore, $ 20 went into play and we were picked up by another number, on the first line. The owner of the hotel moved things and again "dragged" the dollar and the chocolate bar.
#TIP: if you happen to have an adequate room on the second line, you want a quiet holiday and you are not too lazy to go to the sea twice as long, then you can stay there. The restaurant works only on the second line, so the whole hotel eats there. In addition to the Italians, the highest caste is here (. . and that's a completely different story).
Number 2204 was better. And the shower worked and the water in the tap did not turn off, and even the temperature was regulated! Here is the service! : )
Only the fridge refused to work, so the room cleaner got some wimpy chocolates from time to time : D
There were two situations when help from the hotel workers was required. Couldn't set the code for the safe but had to move the beds. Phoned the receptionist. No one came to move the bed, they did everything themselves. But with a safe, it’s more interesting, they called three times on the phone and they told us “it will be in 15 minutes, in 10 minutes, he went to eat. ”
That is, we are hungry sitting in the room for almost an hour, waiting, and the man went to dinner. But sorry, we settled in a 1-minute walk from the reception, we also want to have lunch and they told us that they would come and set it up. After a loud indignation into the handset, one of the staff nevertheless visited us.
There are two guides in the hotel: Muhammed boor and Ahmed pofigist.
Muhammad made an appointment for 8:30, where for an hour and a half he talked about all the imaginary dangers outside the hotel, that excursions require permission from the tour operator and from the hotel. He tried to frankly intimidate people with the police and all sorts of checks. When people objected or did not behave the way he wanted, then from a friendly guide he turned into an inadequate who almost spat at people with his neglect and hatred. There is nothing to say about Ahmed, he does not care about us, but we do.
#TIP Do not take excursions with a guide, there is no need to meet him at all. The prices are just not right.
For example, riding an ATV for $ 20 per person. Found on the Internet for $ 10. Diving from a guide for $45, we found for $35, and at the end of the holiday for $25 in general.
The free tour from the hotel is a waste of time. They will try to sell you miracle oils, sweets and souvenirs or things at inflated prices. What can I say, you can buy halva for $5 for $1.
As I said, only the restaurant on the second line is open. Breakfast is simple: buns, biscuits, other sweets, cereal with milk, scrambled eggs with vegetables, and pancakes with jam or chocolate. For lunch and dinner, there is much more choice: rice, pasta, potatoes, soups, fish or chicken meat, cutlets, gravies, steamed vegetables, salads, sliced vegetables, cheese and sausages, there are also enough different desserts, melons, watermelons, oranges and dates, once gave grapes.
Gradually you realize that the menu is the same type, you find something really tasty and eat only that.
A few words about drinks.
Available circles, ice lemon (sprite type), ice orange (fanta type), soda and yupi in different flavors. Instant coffee and tea. All drinks are completely different from what we are used to. Even the drinking water tasted amazing. But after a few days you get used to it. By the way, even a circle or fanta from a store has a completely different taste.
From alcohol adequately only beer. You can take 4 and 6 and 8 and even 10 glasses of beer, but you can't just take a bottle! Either you suffer with glasses where half of the foam is, or give $ 2 for a 0.5l bottle of beer! The bottom is broken! ; D There is also gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, but it all tastes the same and without cold when or ice is not suitable for consumption. Tresh drinks, do not recommend.
I liked the territory of the hotel and the sea. On some days there were a lot of fish, so feel free to take a mask and enjoy. An unsafe pontoon can create a lot of problems for you.
It is very difficult to move along it, it falls through and staggers. Rely on nothing.
This is a significant problem, in my opinion.
#TIP You can buy a mask and a snorkel for $10 at the hotel, one floor below the reception, try to bargain.
The advantage of the hotel is that it takes 15-20 minutes to walk to the old town or $2 by taxi. A beautiful mosque and many shops with prefixed sellers who are always trying to get the coveted dollars out of you. First, they bought water at $1 per 1 liter, then they found a market where two 1.5 liter waters cost $1. (I don’t remember exactly the black sign with the inscription SUN market). Shaggy halva for $1, mango $1-1.5, T-shirts from $2. Bought a better quality polo for $6. The starting price was $18, so BARGAIN! They offered a suitcase for $ 40, and then for $ 33, the seller beat his chest that the suitcase was worth it, was offended and angry that we never bought it. As a result, we bought the same one, but for $22. You can also find a toilet - $ 1.
We also went to Soho for $6, but we had to bargain well.
There is a small market just across the street from the restaurant. You can buy sweets and souvenirs there.
Prices are the same as in the old town. I recommend taking mango. In Egypt, mango is especially delicious! )
#TIP Think and don't be fooled by their talk, BARGAIN! )
In a taxi, give money without change and pre-specify the payment for a person or the entire car, so that there are no conflicts later.
The phrase "I'm calling the tourist police" can help in difficult situations.
As a result, the hotel frankly did not disappoint, but there is nothing special to praise it for. We traveled for $750 from two and took vouchers two weeks before departure, looking for a budget hotel on the first line, and therefore we were ready for anything and, in principle, we did not manage to spoil our vacation.
If you happen to find a cheap option with this hotel and you are not demanding, but just want to be close to the sea, then you can go here. Have a good rest!
