Winter holidays in Hurghada are of course a lottery, the chances of swimming are 50/50, you have to understand this, but sometimes you just want to change the situation. The tour was bought, as always, two days before departure from Kyiv, the holidays are already over and the prices are more than acceptable. The main condition was warm pools and some slides, as we flew with our 10-year-old son. The room they gave us was not bad, quite spacious, the beds were comfortable, there was no point in turning on the air conditioner, the plumbing was decent and quite tolerable cleaning, in short, everything suited us. The territory is generally large and clean, they take care of it all the time, there are places where you can take good photos, slides are just for the age of our little one and it’s very good that they work on time, otherwise they simply wouldn’t reach the sea. There is a good movement of animators near the pools, and if you are an active person, you will always find something to do, but besides having fun on the water, there is an opportunity to play sports, for example, the main thing is that there are active vacationers. We also liked the evening entertainment, arrange different performances, invite artists from outside, there is an opportunity to listen to live music, in short, we really were not bored. The beach at the hotel is generally large, at about eight o'clock in the morning we always found a couple of free sunbeds and in general it is better to come early, as it gets dark very early. The entrance to the sea is excellent, the water for me was of course, to put it mildly, cool, but my husband swam to the fullest, says that there are fish, but there are no interesting corals, my son could also plunge once a day, well, at least. We were more than satisfied with the food. We always came to the very opening, so there were no problems with a clean and free table, but we didn’t come in full force, the older sons stayed at home, they can’t miss school, so I understand that it’s sometimes very difficult for families with several children to plan their time and time to arrive somewhere. I won’t describe the food a lot, since everyone has their own subjective taste, the main thing is that the child has always had something to feed, he doesn’t eat anything from meat except chicken, but she has always been. And so there was another bird, beef, sometimes even tasty, good pastries in the morning, I didn’t like cakes in the evening, all seafood, absolutely none of them, as for me, I’m not a strong fan, but sometimes I wanted tasty fish. Of the hotel alcohol, only beer tastes normal, we always take strong ones with us, my husband put only five bottles of wine and whiskey in his luggage and there were no problems at customs. We always solve communication issues at the airport by buying a local SIM card, there the speed will in any case be higher than at the hotel, and outside it you will always be available, which is not unimportant when arriving in a foreign country. Prices for additional services at the hotel, for massages or, for example, excursions are clearly overpriced, such things are best found on the side, tibaturk to help. The attendants are of course different, tips are naturally welcome, but we didn’t really scatter them and didn’t experience any prejudice against ourselves, everything was quite polite and without rudeness, and we didn’t have any critical situations, everything went very smoothly. The vacationers were different, there are more Western Europeans than our Russian-speaking ones, but we could always find people to communicate with, for example. So I can definitely advise the hotel, even in winter it’s not so bad here, but in the season when there are more people and the sea is warm, I think it could be different.
