Dear visitors of the Tripadvisor website, good day to you! I rarely write reviews. But now I consider it necessary to provide the following information to those tourists who are going to choose the CWR hotel for a vacation. I would like to note right away that I am a more than unpretentious client of Egyptian (Ukrainian, Turkish,...) hotels and always try not to notice those shortcomings that could negatively affect the quality of the holiday. But this time it somehow didn’t work out...sorry... So, I’ll try to present the information briefly and without any emotions: 1. ROOMS - far from new, but everything is in good condition (I paid $25 before checking in and that’s it my wishes regarding the settlement were taken into account). The beds and towels are perfectly clean. Everything works properly, there are no complaints. 2. TERRITORY - clean, everything is tidy and green. One heated pool - water +28", in the water park + 22". 3. WEATHER - winter, it’s winter in Africa too. The air during the day warms up to a maximum of +24", the sea +22"-23" (given the wind, it’s cold to swim). It’s comfortable to be on the beach only from 10.00 and a maximum until 15.30. Don’t forget warm clothes, it’s really cold early in the morning and after 18.30. 4. The BEACH is very large, there are more than enough sunbeds and umbrellas. The sand is dirty - there are cigarette butts, garbage, leftover food EVERYWHERE, racks filled to capacity for collecting dirty dishes, along with towels, take the red flag IMMEDIATELY, otherwise you will not have any opportunity to sunbathe peacefully and! two minutes! Sellers are just an endless stream. Outside the beach (if you go to the left/right side) there is horse and camel manure everywhere, which no one cleans up. 5. THE SEA is clean, not deep, there is NO corals and fish in the sea. 6. SERVICE. To begin with, it should be noted that the hotel has organized a multifaceted system of color differentiation for tourists: there are bracelets in blue, black, red, gold, pink,... For the Slavs - blue bracelets. I can’t write anything to the owners from the service staff. It is simply ABSENT ("absent" from the word ABSOLUTELY). You simply do not exist, all attention is given only to foreigners. If you think that baksheesh will dramatically change the situation, then it is not so. In this hotel, no one charges $1 for a tip. Of course they take it, but you should have seen those condescending smiles on the faces of the service staff. All bars have huge blue tip boxes. So, if you didn’t put anything there, then EVERY TIME you leave the bar you will have to hear a “hissing” in Arabic about the contents of which you can only guess. This is very unpleasant! 7. HOTEL CONTENT - 60% foreign pensioners, 40% parents with children (French, Italians, Poles, Germans.....) 8. SMOKING AREAS. They simply don't exist. They smoke EVERYWHERE...on the beach, near the pool, in all bars, including the Lobby. That is why you simply will not have any opportunity to breathe clean air! 9. NUTRITION. The variety of dishes in the dining room is great, but there is NOTHING to choose from for food! Of all the variety, only the following dishes are edible: omelettes, salads, fries, chicken, cupcakes (I only had them twice), verchelles, yogurt, jams. This is all! Alcohol, especially wine, is simply disgusting quality. I admit that such a deplorable state of affairs in the food sector is partly justified by the low season. But the baked goods could have been made normally, regardless of the season! ? ! ? All around there is only YESTERDAY’S solid, not tasty, STICKY puff pastry!...there are simply no words.... 10. EXCURSIONS. We purchased two tours from the tour operator to Luxor and Cairo. Unfortunately, the time spent on historical places, amounted to less than 30% of the total time spent in these cities. 70% of the time the tour operator drags you around souvenir shops and shops. This is just some kind of trash...! All the guides do all the way is try to sell you some kind of bullshit - tea, coffee, cane honey.... Totally screwed! Before purchasing these excursions, please think 100 times whether it is worth spending time and effort on tedious travel (to Luxor - 4 hours one way, to Cairo - about 7). The Jamaica bar is located in close proximity to the hotel buildings. From 19.00 to 23.00 there is live music, which is heard not only by the 10 visitors of this bar, but also by all other guests. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to go to bed and SLEEP only after completing the program! Thank you for reading this review to the end! If you have any questions, please write, I will answer with pleasure! I wish everyone the right choice of place and time of rest! P.S. Dear representatives of the hotel administration, please do not bother with feedback on this review. Focus your energy on correcting these shortcomings. Thank you very much for your lack of comments!…

Four of us vacationed (3 adults + children (7 years)) from August 1 to August 11, 2012, cons: varied food (unpeeled potatoes); diluted alcohol (diluted beer, especially in the pool bar, the best wine is in the main restaurant building, draft (not from a bottle) white during lunch and dinner); drinking water highly chlorinated; juices, like everywhere else, drank and the dye lasts half a day; water dispensing machines are only behind the bar counter (except for the central one), i.e. to drink plain water you have to wait in line; V...

We rested from June 21, 2012 to July 1, 2012 with nine of us (5 adults and 4 children - 2,3,5,6 years old). The hotel was chosen with the aim of being a “seal holiday”, so that there would be nice beach and sea. Before this, we had a vacation with a lot of excursions, there was no time to sunbathe, and it was only 4 months ago. I’ll say right away that this is not the first time we’ve been on vacation, we’ve been in both A’s and C’s, there’s something to compare with, but we always go on vacation and not to look for shortcomings. It was our first time in Tunisia and our impressions of the country were only good. Country of priv...

Hotel reviews 2011 of the year

My husband and I vacationed together from July 21-28, 2011. In general, the hotel corresponds to 4*. I’ll write right away what I didn’t like: the food was monotonous, long queues for the main dishes, no table service, one salt shaker for the entire room. Flies prevailed in main dining room!! The rooms are not very good (the equipment in the bungalow does not work, the water does not drain in the sink), later, at our request, we were moved to a building for free, everything worked, the room was normal. The linen and towels were not very clean, there were stains. But most of all, we are terribly worried...

Hotel reviews 2010 of the year

We rested in the second half of August together with my wife and five-year-old child. The tour was from the Bibleo-Globus company. We arrived at Monastir airport at 9-00 local time, went through passport control, filled out migration cards, there was a small queue, it took 2.5 hours to get to the hotel, an air-conditioned bus. Upon arrival, we were immediately taken to breakfast, since check-in at the hotel was at 14-00, without hesitation, we quickly changed clothes, left our things in the reception hall and ran to the sea, I really wanted to quickly...

My husband and I vacationed at the hotel at the end of July. I really enjoyed my vacation, as did the country itself! I was struck by the beautiful and warm sea, as well as the white velvet sand on the beach. The hotel is not bad, with a large green area and a beautiful swimming pool. True, the room we got for 2 adults was small and shabby. It turned out that all rooms 2 in this hotel are like this. We wanted to move into a two-story family room for 4 people with the same distressed couple, but on the 2nd floor of the room there was no wardrobe, no mirror, no TV...

Hotel reviews 2009 of the year

We stayed at the hotel in July 2009. I cannot share the enthusiastic reviews of previous respondents. Perhaps out of season or at the very beginning of the season everything is as described, but not in mid-July! Firstly, the travel agency “stole” the whole day from us: instead of the promised departure at 7:30 in the morning, we took off at 21:30, and our questions about this were answered that the airlines themselves can reschedule flights, for which the travel agency has no responsibility does not apply, and only nights at the hotel count. To the places...

Hotel reviews 2008 of the year

Large, with well-groomed green area good hotel. There are paths, flowers, flower beds, little bars and canopies all around, etc. Photos of the hotel on the website and on the forums correspond to reality. The main building with the reception and restaurant has a large swimming pool, with animation during the daytime, but the sun loungers are mostly occupied by those who live in the nearest buildings (mostly foreigners). The second complex of swimming pools has slides, but the entrance fee is 5 dinars/4 dollars per day, they give you a bracelet for the day. Four slides for both adults and...

I rested in this hotel in mid-May 2008. To be honest (I’ll deviate from the title:), I was surprised after reading the previous reviews. They are too negative. Maybe in a year and a half everything has changed for the better, but I gave the hotel a rating of 5, and this rating is based on the impression of the hotel and the holiday in it. And even what I will describe below with a critical comment is either insignificant or has no direct relation to the hotel. By the way, on other sites/forums, reviews about this hotel are quite positive....

The hotel deserves only positive characteristics - it deserves its 4 stars! All the employees are very friendly and even the Tunisians themselves - those living outside the hotel - are very cultured! A separate conversation about Alice - without a doubt, the fact remains that she also needs to earn a living somehow, but the path that she chose for her income is very unpleasant; She tells all the visiting tourists some horror stories about how dangerous it is to travel with taxi drivers, that only 3 passengers can get into a taxi. From inside...

We rested from 09/23/07 to 09/30/07. 1. The hotel is not a 30-minute drive from the airport, but almost 2.5 hours away. Moreover, you find out almost when you pick up your vouchers. Since the flight was in the evening, we arrived there at night. No one escorted us to the bus from the tour operator (as normal foreign tour operators did, I forgot which one we had, but in Russia only one tour operator works with this hotel), they told us something like: “Go left, then right, there will be a parking lot there.” buses, find the number...

Hotel reviews 2007 of the year

If upon arrival you demand yours when checking into your room, then everything will be OK. In general, the hotel consists of 4 building zones: the first and second buildings for foreigners, the 3rd and 4th for service personnel and Russians and Arabs. The 1st and 2nd Corps are purely for foreigners (Italy, Germany and France). Everything is great there. Nice rooms. air conditioner, hot water, that is, everything is fine. If you want a TV, you won't get it. The number of remote controls is limited. If you have a remote control, then for a deposit of 20 bucks. Then at...

We stayed at the hotel in July 2007. It took almost 2 hours to get to the hotel. The hotel is located in a village under construction: there is nowhere to go. The hotel area is very good. They will entertain you with all their might, but mainly in English, German, Italian and French. They hardly know Russian. The cuisine is European. Not bad. The rooms do not correspond to 4 stars. We especially do not recommend getting into building 4. We rested for 15 days. For 8 of these days it was stormy and carried all sorts of dirt to the shore. The sea looked like a garbage dump. IN...

Good hotel. The rooms themselves are good, the only negative is the electronics. On the first day, the hairdryer did not work, and at night the air conditioning turned off. We immediately contacted the reception and everything was fixed. The hotel has 2 areas - old and new. The old one is naturally greener. And it is inhabited mainly by foreigners (Germans, English, etc.). The sea is excellent, entry into the sea is good. For those who like to swim and snorkel, I advise you to go to the beach old territory at the very end of the beach. As for food, everything is good, there is always a choice and the food is basically varied. For breakfast they offer scrambled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, yoghurts, fresh fruit, fruits and salads and, of course, baked goods. For lunch and dinner they offer chicken, beef, fish, all possible greens, vegetables, fruits, etc. The pool bar also offers brunch and snacks; from 3:30 p.m. you can get good burgers, hot dogs and fries. In general, you won't go hungry. I also rate the service staff excellent, there were no conflicts with anyone, everyone always smiles and says hello. Of course I liked everything, because... It was my first time in another country. Moreover, the most important thing in a vacation for me is the sea and the sun.

We rested at the beginning of May in this hotel. The area is clean, well-groomed (we were accommodated in new building, but the old one is much more comfortable and greener). The staff is helpful, the cleaning is good, but the bed linen is not changed every day. The hotel ATMs do not dispense dollars, only Egyptian pounds - this was an unpleasant surprise for us. The food is good, but could be more varied. The beach is 5+, there are always free sunbeds and umbrellas, the sea is excellent. Good animation in the hotel, including a lot of entertainment for children. We liked everything!
