We went to Albatross with a friend from 12/19/10 to 12/26/10 via Tez Tour. We arrived at 22.35 local time, passed the control quickly, boarded the bus quickly. I didn’t deceive the Internet about the wind season in December. The hotel was placed quickly. The information on paying for the view from the windows is officially posted on the counter, the sea is $ 20 per day, the pools are $ 13 per day, the yard is free. The Arabs did not want to bargain, they said that everything was official. We chose a view of the courtyard and did not regret it a little. Our friends chose a view of the pool, although the room itself did not differ from ours. And now let's move on to a more structured review:
WEATHER: The sun shone from about 8.00 to 16.30. The first 3 days a stronger wind blew, the last 4 days less, but in the sun (+25 approx. ) we felt comfortable in the same swimming trunks, for those who do not like intense heat, that’s it. In the evening It was getting colder so I had to wear a jumper, jeans and sneakers.
SEA: The temperature in the sea is like in St. Petersburg in the middle summer in lakes, i. e. everyone can swim, but without much pleasure, so I had to swim in a heated pool in a nearby 4-star hotel, I didn’t want to get out of the water there, on The territory of our hotel did not have such warm water in the pools, although there is also a heated pool on the territory.
CORALS: there are definitely none near the shore, unless you take an excursion to the sea.
ANIMATION: Once we were offered to play volleyball, once to go to Ggggawan to a disco)), and once we saw ongoing exercises in the pool. There is silence and calmness on the territory of the hotel, when asked by the animator why it is so quiet compared to the neighboring four, we received an answer : Mostly adults and elderly Germans rest here, and they love peace and at the slightest noise and bustle they run to complain to the reception. the music is livelier, but it’s also not suitable for a Russian person, so if you want to dance, order music from a DJ separately, or go with animators to Gggavan or to the clubs of Hurghada.
STAFF: mostly polite and responsive, except for the intrusive workers of HORAS-SPA plying along the beach, who sometimes had to be sobered up with a strong word for their harsh statements and rudeness.
CLEANING: they hung a sign on the door handle and everything was cleaned and changed in time.
FOOD: the food is edible, there is an assortment, but almost does not change. There are no queues.
CONTINGENT: mostly elderly Germans, adult couples, mothers with children. There are almost no young people!
EXTERNAL VIEW OF THE HOTEL: the territory is large, the interior is beautiful and expensive looking.
TAXI DRIVERS: case NUMBER 1: they took me to the hotel in the evening, I give $ 5, we continue the conversation for another minute in the car, the driver turns on the light and shows me $ 1 and says that I just gave it to him. I swear at him with a choice obscenity after which he apologizes smiling and leaves.
case NUMBER 2: we were returning from Hurghada in the evening at 4 o'clock, we caught a taxi and agreed to the hotel for $ 5 (standard to our hotel), after a minute of driving he claims $ 5 from each, starts yelling loudly about FAKIN RUSSIA, offers hashish, accelerates car up to 140 km, dives sharply into neighboring rows, we yell at him, we are already ready to spud the taxi driver right in the car, but only the movement of the car stops us (it’s dangerous to do this at speed), we get to the hotel, get out of the car without paying, he runs and shouts after us, we call the guards, we explain the whole situation, they write down his numbers and promise to pass the information to the police.
EXCURSIONS: we went to Luxor, it will be interesting to write it off personally.
CONCLUSION: The hotel is decent, intended only for a quiet, comfortable, family vacation! , there are no young people there and there is nothing for them to do there!
Hurghada (as a city) was a rare dump once and no longer needed.
P. S I didn’t write a lot, I wish you all a pleasant stay.
