It could be better.
We rested with two children (3.5 years and 1.10) from 19.04. 09 to 24.04. 09. Upon arrival at the reception, we were told if you want a good room, then $ 20, we decided to try our luck and did not give us, we were taken to a room with a view of the construction site and the air conditioning system, there was a terrible rumble in the room, the noise of cars and the knock of construction workers. They gave us 20 and they put us in a normal room. Everything is new, nothing special. We always cleaned and put water in the refrigerator.
Nutrition. In general, we are in Hurghada 3 times, and with the children the second time we know about food, but when I saw what they serve for breakfast, I was extremely surprised and upset, even at 4 * for breakfast there was a richer choice: yogurt is only one kind, for an omelet the queue is like 20 minutes, and if you need not one but three in one hand like us, then they will look at you like that, the pancakes are thick and not fried, and we also searched for small spoons for a very long time, we didn’t find it, then I realized if you come to breakfast at 7 in the morning, there are small spoons, but at 8 they are gone, and apparently there is no one to wash. There were no hot items for breakfast. Fruit in syrup is also a small selection. There are also very few sweets. Lunch and dinner didn’t shine with a special variety either, I personally liked the Chinese restaurant more or less, but you won’t give such food to children. Juices from packages were poured reluctantly, pointed to the machine and offered to drink this muck after which hands and lips weren’t washed for a very long time, okay for adults, but what about the children, we were even once told by a bar worker that such juice is not allowed for children, it can be very bad for children . They constantly look at how you don’t put too much on yourself, and if I went alone and scored for four while my husband and children were sitting at the table. In general, with food and drinks, they have some kind of horror for 5 * does not pull.

Beach and sea. During the day, the beach is not cleaned at all, all sorts of plates and glasses were carried away by themselves. Well, the problem with sunbeds is like everywhere else, but they are trying to fight, they have one inscription on this matter, and with us, the workers collected towels and things in bags if there was no one on the sunbeds. Entry into the sea from a pontoon, which is not convenient with small children, and next to the pontoon there is a shallow and rocky bottom. We went to bathe the children on a nearby beach. The only good thing is the fish, which were fed with buns, the children are delighted. And not bad reefs. Another, which was not convenient, they did not give out a towel on the beach, although there is a point for issuing towels, once only someone was there and that's it, and so they dragged it from the center of the pool. The toilet is far away, once again I didn’t want to walk with the child.
Animation. In a week they called me to aerobics once, once there was a belly dance, I didn’t see it again, well, every day volleyball, there’s no music on the beach, they also invited me to the kids club, I don’t know what they did with them, we didn’t give ours , especially since the animator chatted with them in German. Children's disco is standard. In the evening there was a disco in the amphitheater and live music in the bar on the terrace on the 2nd floor. They also say all sorts of shows, we haven't been, I don't know. But the disco and live music heard very well.
Swimming pool. We did not swim, but I personally saw how bleach was poured there. The slides for children in the pool are beautiful, we rode the small one once, and the older one three times on the smallest one, we were afraid of the other children.
Territory. The territory is not large, I will not say that it is especially green, the neighboring hotel is greener, the playground is so-so. There are few shops, and there are no outside the territory at all, so you won’t bargain much.
Before that, we rested in Dana Beach, also a hotel of the PeakAlbatross system, I liked it more there, even if it is more expensive. And in this hotel there is definitely not a foot more, with small children there is nothing to do there.
