Hello!! ! PLEASE READ ME!!!!!!!! ! Gentlemen, who are going to rest and think that they will come to chic conditions, this is not for you, everything is outrageously simple, everything is there, but nothing more, but what a sea, rating 5 +++++++, it is worth seeing!! ! !!! ! Very beautiful, very; )))))) Of course, we knew approximately where we were going. Firstly, the hotel is located 147 km from Hurghada airport !!!!!!! ! When we, having overcome all customs intricacies in the form of searches, etc. , went to the city territory where there are booths of welcoming travel agencies, there were huge comfortable buses, we submitted our voucher and they showed us the bus number, we found it ; -( ((((Among the huge giants of Euro-buses, there was a small mini-vein man at max 10. But, as it turned out, we were unheard of lucky, since we covered the distance to the hotel in 2.5 hours, as other lucky ones on the next day we rode in a big car and they drove for 4.5 hours (this is if we take into account the fact that we flew there at 21.30) There is nothing to see, on the one hand, the sea, on the other, the desert.
Upon arrival there, we went to register, and on the advice of friends, we put $ 20 in our passport. (to settle more decently) which I do not advise you to do, as a waste of money, we were settled in the same way as those who did not give money and also with a view of the sea. A huge number of mosquitoes, which our Raptor does not take at all, they will simply devour you, so when you check in, ask them for a mosquito spray, it is free and works flawlessly, spray in the room, turn on the air conditioner at 25 degrees and go out for 10 minutes, and Don't turn off the air conditioner while you sleep. AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT - THE STAFF DOES NOT UNDERSTAND A WORDS OF RUSSIAN AT ALL, SO MAKE SURE YOUR PHRASEBOOKS IF YOU DO NOT BE FRIENDS WITH ENGLISH AT ALL.
The territory of the hotel, in principle, is large and, in principle, decent, landscaped paths, along which it is pleasant to walk and not far from the sea, the beach is always clean, and there are always enough sunbeds for everyone. There are also plantings, shrubs, trees and palm trees, but it can be seen because it is still very hot there and the plants do not have enough water, they are dry and the greens are not fluffy and green enough, but what to do in Africa, so you need to be treated with understanding, the staff and so watered day and night.

As for the all-inclusive system, I would like to say separately. Everything is included, but is it possible to eat everything, their potatoes are undercooked, always raw, fish is just a useless destruction of marine life, as the fish is simply disgustingly cooked, the only thing that was delicious was crabs and octopus overcooked with vegetables. Beef is like rubber, though a couple of times there was a delicious stew with beef and vegetables. In principle, you won’t stay hungry, but you won’t enjoy eating, but just stuff your stomach. Although there are no comrades for the taste and color, many who have already been to Egypt say that the food is, in principle, very good, so it's up to you to decide how many people have so many opinions.
The room was cleaned every day for the first 4 days, and then somehow we come and it’s not cleaned, well, we think, okay, we forgot who doesn’t happen, the next day we went on an excursion, at 5.30 to Luxor, it was super - the tombs of the pharaohs , columns, sands, huge statues of pharaohs, anubis, in a word - go, you won’t regret it, we arrived at 23.30 angry as hell, because instead of the prescribed 4.5 hours we drove back almost 7 hours, since the Arabs accompanying us are the driver and the guide solved their affairs along the way, in short, they got it, and finally they arrived, and they tell us that it is customary for them when you arrive at the place you need to thank the driver with a tip like that he drove us well and we liked it (besides the fact that we were ripped off by $ 100 for the tour), okay, we deviated from the topic - we go into the room, everything remained untouched, like 2 days ago, the linen and towels were not changed and the floor was dirty, I had to return to the reception and insist on cleaning, at 0.00 hours to us the senior and the cleaner came and without p They cleaned everything for us, since that day it has always been clean. But it's better to hang a sign that says "please clean our room. "
There is no animation at the hotel, except for a disco, sometimes. The animators were all Italians, and not a word in Russian, and by and large they were not interested in us, they wandered around on their own. The main and all emphasis is placed in this hotel on Italy.
SEA, SEA-Bottomless WORLD

It's just some kind of miracle, we went there because of the wonderful coral reef, which we read a lot of reviews about, it's some kind of blue fairy tale that each of us saw only on TV. A blue transparent lagoon with fish, the water is so clean that it is beyond words. When you go out to swim in the open sea, you first see a coral reef and a lot of fish, and then before your eyes there is a blue bottomless abyss, which at the same time beckons and frightens, as you swim, you look ahead and remember the movie "Jaws")))))). These are multi-colored corals, a mass of small and large colored fish, octopuses, stingrays, moray eels, turtles. It's worth seeing. Mine is 5+++++++++. It overrides all the negativity that we felt at first, and then you get used to it and it seems that, in principle, everything is very personal. In principle, we rested normally, just if you have already arrived and there is nowhere to go, then be content with what you have and extract the positive aspects from everything. Basically, after all, you spend all the time on the beach, and you come to the room to sleep. By the way, small lizards climb in the room, they are absolutely harmless, it’s even nice to see a small creature in your room, which is thus hidden from the heat. Don't hate them ; )))))))).
The most important thing is with what mood you will come to rest and what you expect from this holiday. Do you want to see a beautiful room and sit in it and thereby focus on amenities, or do you want to get to know better and plunge headlong into the world of living flora and fauna of the Red Sea and see everything with your own eyes, so that later you can bring a piece of it with you in your soul .
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY REST !!!!! ! THE MOST FUN THING IS THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO CARE ABOUT DAILY BREAD AND ABOUT YOUR LIFE, TYPE OF CLEANING, COOKING, ETC. YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN CARED FOR, SO IT'S ONLY YOUR BUSINESS TO TEAR YOURSELF FROM THE LOUNGE LOUNGE OR GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE BAR AND GO TO EAT&; )))))))
