Rested with his wife at the end of November from Coraltravel.
The hotel is big. Service at a high level.
We at the reception asked for a room closer to 5946 (read the reviews and remembered this particular number). Dali without baksheesh 5846 (this is under 5946). Close to the sea and the pool, restaurants a little further. . . The room is clean and spacious. Two large beds, in the refrigerator 3 to 0.75 liters of non-carbonated water, normal towels and horseradish soap, shower gel, shampoo. Insects, lizards, cockroaches and other living creatures were not noticed.
There are practically no minuses, except for the lack of hot water.
A few words about the beach. Clean and civil. Sunbeds in the first row should be occupied at 7 am, in the second - at 8 am. Towels are clean. You can use any of the three beaches: Ali Baba, Aladdin, Jasmine. There are corals, fish shaft. We bought a Chinese camera for 25 bucks and shot 2 films.

Excursions - were in Luxor, on diving, on a safari on ATVs. Liked everything. The choice of excursions is huge. For every taste and budget.
City of Hurghada. We went to the city three nights in a row. All six trips on local "colorful" minibuses. Travel for two 5-6 pounds or a dollar. Local sellers are very arrogant. There is a lot of confusion about prices. As advised by our guide in Luxor - you have to bargain to death. Wife knocked down the price three times. We found several stores with fixed prices. Basically, they stocked up in them. There are no discounts, but with normal purchases they give gifts.
Food and drinks. There is something to eat and where to eat. Three restaurants, a grill bar on the beach, a pool bar. Wine and beer are normal, but beer lacks "our" rams or pistachios. If you pull 3 servings of rum with cola, then life becomes more fun. They never bothered with the rule - one glass in one hand. Of the fruits were pomegranates, melon, guava, grapes, bananas, oranges, tangerines. For 7 days there were no problems with the stomach.
They brought with them 10 diving photos (for 20 bucks), 2 photos from quads (4 bucks), 2 films from an underwater camera, video from a camera, photos from a digital camera, photos from a mobile phone. If anyone is interested, I can send. . .
Say everything. Who will have questions - write. I will answer everything I can.
