I agree with the previous positive reviews about the hotel. There are just a few things I would like to clarify.
The territory of the three hotels is not common, but single. That is, there is a fence around the perimeter, and inside there are pools, restaurant sites, etc. - without separating belongings. For example, next to the Vista reception there is a gym and a spa, next to the Blue reception there is an amphitheater for general evening animation, and at the Garden there are water slides for adults and children. There is a separate swimming pool with waves. Heated - several pools. But the concept of "far" is difficult to apply here. Or “under the windows”, or “behind the neighboring building”.
The food in all restaurants is the same. Only the halls differ in size. And besides, every evening at Blue, something is cooked on the open brazier on the street, and at Vista, on a fish evening, there are always several dishes of seafood.

Rooms are available with both single and double beds. When you check in, you need to ask at the reception. There are no amenities in the bathroom except for a hair dryer, liquid soap and insect spray. But no insects were noticed, except for flies.
Trips - to the center of Hurghada on a "minibus" (minibus) 2 pounds (in terms of 10 rubles). Just do not get on an empty bus, specify the amount when boarding, but pay on arrival, as there are different drivers. Drive with stops (landing-disembarking) for 15-20 minutes. You can order a taxi at the reception - there and back for $ 10. That is 15 times more expensive.
The assortment of goods in the hotel kiosks nearby "Cleopatra" and "Senzo Mall" certainly cannot be compared with the city's main Sheraton street, where there are fixed prices, and the opportunity for trade, and street stalls with vegetables and fruits, and supermarkets with products. Whoever decides to shop at Cleopatra, keep in mind that the store farthest from the hotel in this complex has fixed prices, and the rest with similar goods are negotiable. In the far fixed price for T-shirts, for example, 40 pounds, while in others you can only agree not cheaper than 50 pounds.
Internet. There is access ($ 8 per hour) at the Gardena reception and in building 4 Blue next to the first-aid post. By the way, our friend tore his arm on volleyball, so there they made bandages for him for 3 days, and then they gave him ointment with him - everything is free. In Hurghada Internet cafe access for 3-5 pounds per hour. 10-15 times more expensive.
Currency exchange. There are ATMs at the reception "Vista" and "Garden". Issues banknotes, the smallest denomination is 5 pounds. So all tenths and hundredths up to 5 pounds "forgives". For example, for $10 you will get 60 pounds, for one - 5, for 9 - only 50, since the exchange rate (on the screen is displayed) for 1 dollar is 6.02 pounds. In bank exchange offices, they may request a passport, but they will give out everything to the “penny”.
