Travel time: 7 — 18 december 2017
Hello! We rest from 7.12 to 18.12. 17. We arrived in the evening. There were few people, so we quickly took visas from the registration desks for 27 dollars (in the bank next to the right you could buy it for 25 dollars)) and went for luggage. Taking the luggage, we immediately bought a Vodafone card for 5 GB to the right of the exit in the stall, but only on the Internet, for 10 dollars. (9 euros) There were no cards for phone conversations and the Internet together, but this card was enough for me for the whole vacation. Tour, I forgot to say, we had a tour from Anex. When leaving the airport, a bus was waiting for us. Don't worry, he won't go anywhere without you. ) We arrived at the hotel at about 20.00. They settled us within 5 minutes. There is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception. I asked for the 2nd floor - they gave it without problems and without bakhshish))). They said if you don't like it, we'll change it. They gave me a great number. View of both the pool and the garden. Number 5772. We did not have to change the number). The room has two large beds, a sofa, an ottoman, a mirror, a dressing table, a refrigerator, a closet, air conditioning, a shower room with a hairdryer, shower gel,
liquid soap. Everything worked and nothing fell off). It was not very convenient only that the shower was screwed to the wall, but this can be experienced). It is not very convenient that the room had 2 sockets (one near the bed, the other in the bathroom), TV - plasma. There are 3 Russian. channel, Ukrainian - no. But that's not a problem either. ) The beds are wide and comfortable, orthopedic mattresses. The floor in the room is tile. The room had a terrace with chairs and a table, but it was not completely covered from above (this is not very good in summer), but this is not in all rooms. In many - on the terrace the roof is covered. There were no living creatures in the room, mosquitoes -
too. But cats lived on the territory))) I saw three or four well-groomed, caressed and moderately well-fed)))). They seem to me to be the favorites of the hotel)

Went off topic. ) Continue. . ) Min. the water in the room was replenished regularly, room cleaning was on our request. The towels in the room were also changed at your request. We arrived in the off-season for the first time, there were few people,
somewhere around 50% occupancy of the hotel and this had its huge advantages! The pool was heated only one, which is right next to the reception, all the rest are cold. There were always enough places near the pool, they could not be taken in advance. The pool is clean. The staff is always friendly and ready to help you. Towels and things at the pool left - no problem. There are a lot of free sunbeds on the sea, there is no need to borrow in advance. We sunbathed on the beach of Ali Baba, on the beach of Aladdin and Jasmine. Jasmine is my favorite. A good sandy entry into the sea and the beach itself is more like it. Drinks on the beach can be taken on the territory of any of the three hotels for free. Towels too. We rest at this time for the first time, so I will share my impression). Mornings are cool until 9.00, you need to take a light jacket with you. Then warm. The sea is not an unambiguous impression), then cold is warm. I think that +22 max water, air + 24. Sorry,
that they do not show the temperature of water and air on the beach). The sea had low tides and low tides. My husband swam, he didn’t see much fish, but they were. The beach is clean and sandy. I almost did not swim, because for me such a temperature is cold water), and my husband swam. From 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. it was warm enough, and then it was cool again and a light jacket, blazer or shawl was needed. After 17 it gets dark and cold on the beach and in the hotel. At that time, they walked in trousers, a long-sleeved sweater and a light jacket, and on their feet - closed shoes, sneakers - not half boots) or boots. There is a restaurant on the beach where you can have a bite to eat at lunch, and in the evening there is a paid program - $ 15 with dinner from 18 to 21. This price includes: program and seafood dinner. Once a week, you can also order a free dinner in the a la carte restaurant. Not bad). We had squid there. ) You can also smoke a hookah in the hotel for 3 dollars. There is live music almost every evening in the lobby until 21.
There is also a disco and an evening show, but we did not go to them, I can not say anything about it. The entrance to the disco club is on the right at the entrance to the hotel. As for me, rest at this time is for those who are tired of the hustle and want peace) and sleep off)) - like us. The hotel accepts both euros, mostly dollars and egypt. pounds ($1 =1.78 pounds) There is an ATM where you can exchange money for their pounds. Rest in the hotel, mostly Germans. A few Ukrainians, Poles and Belarusians. Take 1 dollar with you, because in restaurants, on excursions, drivers, on the beach, cleaners, porters need to be given 1 dollar each), this is how it is accepted). Also change at the hotel a couple of dollars for pounds for trips to Luxor and Cairo for coffee (4-5 pounds) and a toilet (2 pounds) The entire hotel area is very clean and well maintained. Well done! Maintain cleanliness at the highest level. Very green and beautiful! It's nice to walk around the territory of all three hotels. Drinks: beer, wine, ouzo - good quality, other drinks - maybe).

B / a drinks of normal quality - not yuppies)))). Fresh juices are constantly worn, for 2-3 dollars. Food): I'm surprised at the reviews where people are not happy with the food at the hotel))). It's just whims! ) The food is great! For breakfast: scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, feta cheese, other cheeses - I didn’t really like it); sausage - not very good either), olives, pancakes, fried sausages, grilled vegetables, stews, pasta, fresh vegetables - sliced, toast, muesli, pastries, fruits, coffee / tea, croissants. For lunch: salads, freshly cut vegetables, 2 types of soups, pizza, pasta of various types, potatoes of various types, grilled vegetables, beans, peas, rice of various types, lentils, liver, fish, beef, chicken, grilled meat, wine, pastries , fruits. Dinner: even more than lunch. Every day something was repeated, but something was new. Breakfast - a stable assortment. You are not something that will always be full, but - full of * from the belly *)))). The only thing there is -
this is a note on fruits (((. I would like to taste a larger assortment (. They gave only tangerines,
oranges, dingu in pieces, dates and some incomprehensible) fruit, shaped like a pear. There was no ice cream at the time. It's a pity), I wanted to try the Egyptian. Aquapark -
Super! The water in the pools is heated! There are 5 slides for adults and a complex for children. Entrance is free all the time. Husband went to the gym
a minimum of simulators, but just everything for such a case). Animation - was present), those who wished were not present))). In the morning: exercises, aqua aerobics, darts, water polo both at the pool and at the sea. In the evening, the guys gather people for an evening program. We didn't go, we don't know. But they were daily. In the evening, after dinner, we sat in the lobby (lobby), drank alcohol, listened to live music. There is one more remark to the hotel about late dinners and dry breakfasts on the road. We returned from the tour around 22.00 - everything was already closed (. We had dinner with sandwiches and pastries left after dinner at the restaurant).

I didn’t really like this moment) I didn’t really like dry breakfasts either. I wanted to give rations not this plastic sausage and cheese in sandwiches), but something more edible), they are very specific))). Tomato and cucumber would be nice to give sliced. It would be possible to add another boiled egg to the ration and coffee in a closed glass. Regarding excursions to the beach and other beach services))) - I wanted to run! )))) In the first days of rest - it's just a nightmare! )))) Pull every 5 minutes! And spa services, and massage, and excursions, and a restaurant, and a manicure, and a hairdresser) and drinks. You feel like honey) on which bees flock! )))) Who is new? ))) The main thing is to survive these 2-3 days! , and, then, you will get used to it, you will sunbathe and you will be pulled less). All this is not pleasant, but this is such a people, such a mentality), one must disengage and accept it as a matter of course). As for excursions, I want to say that I monitored local guides on the Internet, found someone, something, how many,
but at the last moment, something went wrong with her husband and took excursions from the annex, because they wanted to go to Luxor and Cairo. Excursions at the annex are 2-3 times more expensive than those of the locals. Anex says that they give the wrong buses, without insurance, not full excursions as they promise, but . . I got the impression that this is not true, and that they simply scare tourists with locals and use this to inflate the cost of excursions. In my opinion: Luxor and Cairo can be taken from our tour operators, but at an inflated price and with a guarantee of safety, and the rest - through the Internet from local guides, not even through hotel ones. They are also overpriced. It is worth going to Cairo, Luxor (economy from anex) - did not make an impression, I liked the excursion to El Gouna. Do not go on the first day on a free trip to Hurghada with anex. Lost time! They told us in such a way that we thought it was a sightseeing tour to Hurghada, but it turned out
that this is a shopping trip to three points): for fur coats from Turkey and leather goods, to an oil store (these shops are included in excursions to Cairo and Luxor), then other guides of the anex said that in Hurghada these oils, teas and perfumes are more expensive in all , and the third stop was for souvenirs at a local bargain. center. Souvenirs will then be on every trip! ) This trip took, in general, the next day after our arrival 3 hours. Sorry for the wasted time. Didn't like the *impertinent* anex about the excursions. You will have to decide right away and pay for excursions on the second day of your arrival, they don’t even give you time to think everything over and adjust your family budget. Therefore, be prepared for this. (Cairo -70 dollars, Luxor - 45 economy, 70 - more than a full type, el gouna + bathyscaphe - 50, islands of 7 wonders of Egypt - 50, super safari in my opinion 45, hammam and massage - 45) unlike others, anex does not give)) and time for reflection - too! ))). For excursions - this is the most comfortable time!
Especially for Cairo and Luxor. From excursions you can bring such souvenirs: yellow tea (6 dollars for 0.5 kg, hibiscus - 4-7 dollars, tea / coffee / honey sets - 15 dollars, date honey - 4 dollars, cane honey - 2.5 dollars, inscribed silver cartouche - 10/15 dollars on excursions to Luxor, souvenirs are offered by locals at the buses for 1 dollar / pigeon))), just fight them off periodically)))), beautiful alabaster figurines - from 2 dollars. on excursions in Luxor, papyrus - on excursions in Cairo, oils from 10 dollars for a small jar, perfume (persistent smell and very pleasant), you could take it (I didn’t ask for what) - it’s all brought from Cairo, Hurghada and Luxor (everything is the same), arafatka can be bought in Luxor for 1dol. I am finishing my review) and I conclude that rest at this time is more focused on excursions and peace), without noise and din. Ali Baba is just what you need! ) Recommend! Write - I will answer all your questions.
