I have nothing against the hotel itself, but. . . We flew from Lviv on a UIA Ukrainian Airlines plane. Haven't experienced anything worse! It all started with the fact that after the announcement of boarding the plane (some people were already in place), they announced a delay in boarding for an hour. The rest of the people had to wait at the airport. Then the landing was announced again, everyone safely took their places and the plane left for the runway. Through the window, I saw a man in headphones and with wires, who waved his hands to the pilots. As a result, the plane was returned back and we were dropped off the plane under the pretext of a plane breakdown. No one could explain to us when we will fly away and on what exactly. People slept in the seats in the waiting room and finally, after a few hours, they announced that they were re-boarding the same plane. I was sitting in the third row - everything that happened to the flight attendants was in front of my eyes. We took off. . .
Immediately after takeoff, it was impossible to hear anything because of the loud noise from the aircraft door. I flew with my fingers plugging my ears, and the guys nearby made earplugs out of napkins on the headrests and plugged my ears. Every now and then the senior stewardess was called into the cockpit, she came out with a worried face and discussed something with other stewardesses. They took turns approaching the door and ran their hands through it. There was a moment when one of them leaned back against the door and the noise became less audible. I realized that the door was not tightly closed and air was passing through the gap. It is clear that this smacked of depressurization of the aircraft and an accident. From that moment on, I began to pray (I remembered all the prayers that I didn’t even know about). After an hour and a half flight, when we were flying over some city, I noticed that we made a U-turn around it and flew in the opposite direction. In the end, I don't know
I alone or there were people on the plane who knew that we had changed course, and it was frightening. when we were already flying up to Lvov, we were told that the plane was landing at Lvov airport. People who were sitting in the tail through the windows saw how fuel was drained from the tanks before landing. It is clear that the landing was an emergency! when everyone got off the plane, they tried to take us out of the airport and send us home. I understand that the Ukrainians could go home, but Belarusians flew to Hurghada, who were brought by bus transfer. And then what? ! Who will reimburse the money spent on the ticket, compensate for the day that we have to spend on the beach, and we slept on the chairs of the airport? ! Naturally, the people rebelled! Some representative came and said that the plane had broken down, there was no other and there would not be, and do what you want, you can contact your tour operators. Of course he got punched in the face! The police came, the guards,

someone else. We tried to contact the television, the media, but since it was night no one picked up the phone. Then we fought until nightfall, in the end we were promised a free taxi to a free hotel and an early morning plane. The people said that no one would board the plane of the same company. Some of the people went to the hotel, and some remained to keep the defense at the airport and slept on cold rubber luggage carriers, because it was no longer possible to believe the promises. In the morning, perhaps erroneously, they announced a delayed flight to Hurghada, but immediately recovered to Rhodes. But people no longer heard the amendments and exploded in yet another indignation. As a result, we slowly figured it out, calmed down and started registering for departure. It turned out that the plane that was supposed to carry people to Rhodes was canceled in favor of us. Before landing for the third time, I was shaking so much that I was on the verge of fainting! Reassured only by the view of the aircraft from the "Wind Rose". Then everything was ok!
We flew in and checked into a hotel. Due to the arrival delay, we (8 people) were upgraded to the standard of the rooms. Nicely! We did not ask us to settle nearby, but the nice thing is that the rooms turned out to be adjacent (only 4 rooms, two adjacent in red buildings). The room consisted of two rooms, a corridor with a closet and a shower room with a toilet. Everything is very decent! In one room on three walls there is a corner sofa and a TV, in another there is a bed and plasma. Well, of course tables, a balcony with two deck chairs and plastic chairs. The hotel area is huge. The hotel is combined with the neighboring Titanic Palace Hotel. Territory, cafes, restaurants, shops, bars, swimming pools, beach, water park, everything is common for vacationers of both hotels. Of course, the second hotel was built later and, of course, everything is much more beautiful, richer. In short, there are many places for photo shoots!
One minus in the hotel - food and booze! There are certainly products that we really liked, but the overall impression is negative.
Do not be fooled by the free shopping in Hurghada from Tez Tour!! ! Complete divorce! Prices are killer even with bargaining! We saw the same things at the hotel and at the airport at two and a half times cheaper without bargaining! The only thing we shelled out for was Egyptian teas and oils. But in general, you need to first ask about prices. Perfumed oils can be diluted with paraffin, so check how long the scent lasts on your skin before you buy. Good oil stays on the skin even after washing.
Went for a Cleopatra massage at the spa. I liked it the first time, they asked for the second one at a discount - they didn’t like it, they demanded compensation, in the end: the third massage on the shoulders, arms and back - for free !!!

We took the Super Luxor tour. Liked! It's very hot, so be sure to take something on your head. The locals are very annoying, but one cherished word helps: Shokran (thank you). Our guide taught us. They immediately stop insisting.
Even in the temples themselves there are local people who offer to go with them, show something and then demand dollars for it, do not go! You can go around the temple wherever you want and take a picture for FREE!
Our flight was postponed for several hours, and check-out was at 12.00. They took off our bracelets, but I asked to keep them as a keepsake, it worked out. I put it back on the pin and we ate whatever we wanted until the evening at the hotel. In general, no one paid attention to the fact that some did not have bracelets on their hands. We were offered to wash for free in the spa center, we were given towels before leaving for the airport. ALL! What I remember - told!
