New El Alamein: Wakeboarding Adventure with Instructor
"Rixos is great hotel with great view. However, the hotel is super crowded and still accepts guests from outside, almost 4000 people inside and still accepts guests from outside, putting pressure on workers and the residents. I couldn’t find space on the beach nor any restaurants and guests start to fight with the workers if we reserve tables. The whole experience was really bad. I am paying a lot of money and not getting the service I need which basically some peace of mind!!!!
I wouldn’t...
"I used to love that hotel but the service and food quality dropped significantly. The rule for pool usage and allowed swimming suites changed and seemed that people use swimming pools wearing their regular clothes. Instead of fresh squeezes they offer packages juices that taste like plastic. In the whole hotel there was no US outlet adapter, all the room outlets don't work for US electric devices or electronic charges. The quality dropped significantly after management change. I will no longer...
"The building was new, and we were its first guests. There were numerous defects, as well as fixtures and finishes that had not been properly installed to ensure guest safety, along with plumbing and electrical issues. Furthermore, the chalet had not been adequately cleaned following the construction and finishing work. I informed the hotel staff, and they promised to address the matter so that future guests would not encounter the same problems."
"The sewage was not working in two WCs , two broken chairs, the room service didn’t come regularly, the delivery are not allowed simply to get to the chalet I had to get out to the lobby or call them to allow the delivery boys in. The beach was very good but service and maintenance not that good bad experience"
