Vacation starts with a flight.
The air operator delayed the flight for 12 hours, i. е. actually "stole" half a day of rest. The tour operator Join Up did not warn the hotel about the delay, so on arrival the rooms were not waiting for tired travelers (they had already been given to others).
And now about the hotel. It has already been said that the management is bad. No, they just consider the Slavs as the second class of tourists and, at any opportunity, try to settle them in the Club building or even Neptune. The case is just ours: we were late, our tour operator did not say anything to them - and voila - two in the morning, welcome to the Marzaba Club, and the Resort voucher.
Next, a small war at the reception and waiting until 12-00 noon to check in at the Resort.
As a result, 24 hours of rest is simply stolen.
This is how the vacation with Ukrainian air carriers + Join Up begins.

About the hotel. Gorgeous territory, two swimming pools, a wide beach with a bar (from 6 to 19-30 the beach is open, a bar from 10 to 18). Three buildings. Resort, Club and Neptune.
In the Club and Neptune, the Wi-Fi is dead. The rooms are simpler than Resort, Neptune after a fresh renovation. For Neptune, we don’t sell tupets in Ukr.
They have a price list at the reception, the price tag for all buildings is the same. But your and our turbo operators rip off $ 300 for the Resort + 300 dollars, although in fact they pay the hotel the same way as for the Club. Set up and kidok cunning Ukrainian agencies!
And in general, be prepared for the fact that the Slavs (many Russians, because Egypt is closed to them) are not treated as politely as Europeans and Arabs. They pay extra tips for everything, so in chocolate (the Tunisian brethren love them, and the Russian speaker, being on the olinkusive))) does not "lubricate" the meager Tunisian palms with a ringing coin, so the attitude towards us there, to put it mildly, is like 2nd grade.
About the rooms. We didn’t see Neptune and the Club (we write from the words of the inhabitants), but in the Resort there is really a place for two in a standard room. Triple accommodation is an extra bed right next to the balcony glass. If a person weighs more than 35 kg - sleep like in a hammock. The resort room is clean. The girl is cleaning. He left a couple of dinars on the table. The conder worked only when the card was inserted. It is issued only one per room and it is tedious to extend it if a week of stay has ended and a ticket for more than 7 days.
Two restaurants. Ate in both. If you are from Neptune or Club, then you have one restaurant. Everywhere the food is good, we didn't go hungry. Pastries and sweets are better than Egypt. Drinking must be obtained, because. filling machines do not always work. But it's not difficult, the main thing is to tell the waiter what you want.
Staff language: Arabic, French, Russian at the level of "hello friend, how were you? ")))

General impression: the hotel is cleaner than many others. Solid 4 - Housing Resort. Animation for a C grade, there is a drink: beer, wine. I do not know the quality, they say the norms.
Taxi to Medina - until 9 pm - 3-4 dinars per car. At the start, they offer 10-7 dinars.
Reception exchange. Approximately 2.85 dinars for 1 dollar.
For simplicity, multiply 1 dinar by 10 and get almost the equivalent in UAH.
Figs and grapes are worn on the beach. The price tag is about three times more expensive than you can buy within a radius of 1 km from the hotel, if you set a goal. For 1 kg there are about 9 figs for 4 dinars. On the beach you will get 6 figs for 10 dinars, well, maybe you can bargain and get them for 8 dinars.
The townspeople are friendly.
Didn't want to leave.
In general, if you forget about the hypocrisy and indifference of tour operators, the dismissive attitude of hoteliers and survive! the process of settling, then you will clearly like the country and the hotel itself.
