We rested at Beach Albatros Garden from 26.06. to 11.07. 2009 Great holiday, everyone loved it. I want to share and dispel many fears! ! The review will be long, but I want to tell everything.
We went through the Tez Tour, the guys are just magicians, they work great in Egypt, they literally licked us from head to toe. We were met at the airport, helped with filling out the documents, and were taken to the hotels in a very organized manner.
Having read reviews on the Internet before leaving, I was very worried about the room and therefore, upon registration, we immediately gave $ 10, the reaction was instant, they gave us the keys with the words "ooh . . this is our BEST room", and really we were delighted, the room is excellent , with a huge balcony, views of the slides and the garden, air conditioning is not shared on the floor, but normal, with personal control. The bathroom is large, everything is working. . massive natural furniture. wood with marble inserts, a TV with a normal working remote control, a mini-fridge. Everything really relieved me)) The only thing is that there were 2 single beds in the room, and although they were immediately moved to us, they still parted at night)
The room was cleaned daily! They changed everything, and bed linen, and all towels. Nothing had to be thrown on the floor, everything was done by ourselves. It was especially touching how they put all my women's jars in the bathroom strictly according to their height, such a beauty) Tips were left at $ 1, but not even every day, but the cleaning was always carried out carefully and well.
Feeding is a separate issue. The food there is sooo great, I don’t know why many people call it monotonous and that they eat such a variety of things at home, but the hotel had everything - meat in various forms, fish, chicken, potatoes (and baked with vegetables, and fries, and boiled) , for breakfast right in front of you they fry an egg, you choose with what you stand and wait, they also fry hot pancakes (with chocolate, honey, powdered sugar), for dinner they always cook something on the street on the grill - the same fish, barbecue, lyulya -kebab, even shawarma was). There was a sea of u200bu200bsweets, every time we fell out from the table like koloboks. They also cook at the pools during the day - pizza, french fries, hot dogs, hamburgers, we dined at the main restaurant only a couple of times during the whole vacation. There is also a cafe on the beach on the sea, you don’t need to return to the hotel. The only thing is that we didn’t eat any salads at all, it’s still scary, you won’t stay hungry there without them. And what is important - the hotel works only on an all-inclusive system, so there are no queues, trials of who came by what system, etc. And in the hotel you can always eat from the morning until 12 at night. We had dinner at 7, and then we could still go to the restaurant at half 12, there was always a lot of food, all the bowls are constantly filled and everything is fresh and hot. After 12, too, you can, but for denyuzhku. From drinks there is cola / fanta / sprite, beer (not bad by the way), white / red wine (not very, too fortified), juices (chemical zuko / invite, of course, but normal, we didn’t die))), tea / coffee , in the pool bar in the evenings a good selection of spirits - whiskey, vodka, gin, rum . . make cocktails on them. Everything is included in the stay, no money is taken for drinks at dinner. They also prepare insanely delicious coffee at the reception - cappuccino, latte, cocoa . . unfortunately, we did not immediately see it, then every day we went 2-3 times, catching up)). Everything is free of course. During the day, ice cream refrigerators are placed in the bars by the pools, in all hotels there is a large inscription “only for children”, and in the Garden for everyone))
Towels by the pool are provided free of charge, unfortunately they do not give out to the sea, you have to drag it with you. The sea is not so far away, about 15 minutes, we always went by bus, but it turns out not so fast. It was not a problem for us, we knew that we were going to the 2nd line, but it turned out to be even closer than we thought.
Beach Albatros Garden is located on the same territory as Albatros Aqua Blue (4*), Albatros Aqua Vista (4*) on the 2nd line, and Beach Albatros (5*) on the 1st line. It turns out a huge territory. All pools / bars are shared, you can use everything for free, but you can’t visit the main restaurants of other hotels and that’s all, and there is also a separate bar on the beach on the sea. Everything else is unlimited. But we climbed everywhere and the Garden is definitely the best hotel of all, on the 1st line of boredom, we had slides and we were the only ones where people hung out until late in the evening, in the rest after 9 everyone died out, at least on the second line.
On the territory there are 2 restaurants "by appointment" - Chinese and Italian. The food there is the same as in the main one, only the assortment is less than 10 times. Well, they still make pizza in Italian, you choose the toppings yourself. So you can go there once to get acquainted, there is nothing else to do there.
Everything is very clean, the staff is visible around the clock, everyone waters something, burns it, wash it . . You can safely give the hotel 5 stars, it really deserves it.
Regarding the fact that the lawns there are allegedly watered with sewage waste and therefore it constantly stinks. Dear compatriots, please do not forget where you are going. This is a NAKED desert under the scorching sun, and a country where it rains 2 times a year for 1 minute! And at least something to grow there is not a simple task, and even more so then to save it all. I once stepped on a freshly watered lawn there at night, my foot went 10 cm away. There, not only a layer of earth needs to be poured, which will be washed out in a couple of months, a whole drainage system has been made there, and all this grass, bushes are really 24 hours a day in the hotel , flowers are processed on their knees so that you come to the oasis and live like in paradise. And to complain that you see the bushes were watered with the addition of manure and now fuuu . . well, at least it’s stupid, especially since they only do it there at night or at dawn, when everyone is sleeping.
There is a tennis court, a massage parlor (allegedly a spa, we have been several times, cheap and affordable), a very modern gym (access is free, but only with sports shoes !! ), slides, a lot of pools, all beautifully shaped and deep for any taste, with bridges, caves, waterfalls, smooth entries. They arrange all kinds of games in the water, there are gates and nets, they hold aqua aerobics, contests, all kinds of shops, pigtails, temporary tattoos and everything else like everywhere else)) By the way, slides are not bad, the main thing is to wear underpants as smooth as possible, without embroidery and stickers, you get stuck with them , I had 4 swimsuits with me, in one I literally flew, in others I couldn’t move at all, I sat in place, even with my hands it was useless to push off. So, this is how lucky someone is with underpants in general)) There is an Internet cafe on the territory, at the reception there are also computers with access to the network.
About the beach. We did not observe any problems with free places, we came around 12 in the afternoon and always found a place for ourselves, I do not understand the complaints about this. Yes, I had to walk around . . they could find 1 sunbed, then the 2nd one at the other end, they dragged them and that's it. The fact that supposedly our beach is to the left of the pier is complete nonsense. There is no one there at all, and the place is not even suitable for a beach, no one even goes there. They all sunbathe together on a common beach and no one kicks anyone out of there, no need to write nonsense, many people believe in it. Catamarans, banana and all that is right on the beach.
The sea is magnificent, the most beautiful sea that I have ever seen. Be sure to buy masks and go. Along the pier is full of crabs, sea urchins, fish, they are teeming there. And you should definitely go on an excursion to the corals, you will remember for a lifetime, that's for sure. We also went on a jeep safari, we really liked it, we were in Cairo on the pyramids, we went on foot to the largest water park in Egypt, Titanic, it is generally nearby, 20 minutes on foot in a straight line. The only significant disadvantage of the hotel is the complete lack of nightlife, which is probably why there were few young people. But we did not strain, almost every evening after dinner we went to the city center. There are a lot of clubs, bars, and in general it’s great just to take a walk, there are a lot of people there even at night. Were in several local restaurants, everything is great and you lick your fingers. In general, we were lucky, there were few Russians at our hotel, mostly Germans, Poles, Croats, there were even Americans.
On the day of departure, you need to vacate the room at 12 noon, but because we flew out only at half 10 in the evening, freely extended the room until the evening, it cost, if my memory serves me, something about $ 35. But in any case, at the reception there is a storage room where you can put your luggage and go to the beach. Bracelets are not removed, i. e. if you were having fun at 12, you still have the right to go for lunch and dinner.
I would also like to commend all the staff. All employees are very polite, attentive and always make contact. Yes, the porters-cleaners are almost impudently begging for tips, but the higher-level employees are very decent. Firstly, on the last day we left the mobile phone by the pool, it just fell under the sunbed, and we found it only in the room after a couple of hours. And they left it by the pool of a neighboring hotel)) We went, all the sunbeds were already folded, there was no phone. We went to the reception, they said to sort it out, wrote down the room number. To be honest, I didn't even expect to find it. After 15 minutes, we got a call to the room, they said that our phone was found. As a result, we were sent to some lost and found room, and taaam . . glasses, bags, someone's towels . . they gave us the phone, after which I said that this is the best hotel where I was)) And also, when we went to Cairo on an excursion with Tez Tour, upon returning to the hotel we were told to carefully look at our things and not forget anything. Because the bus came from Cairo to Hurghada, took us back and forth on an excursion, and now it will go back to Cairo. And this, by the way, is a 7-8 hour drive. And of course, as it always happens, when we got to the room, we realized that we had forgotten our glasses in the case. The next day we went to our guide, who, by the way, sat at the hotel every morning and evening, told us about his problem. And lo and behold . . a couple of days later, our eyeglass case was handed over from Cairo. So the Egyptians may be intrusive, they are trying to fool tourists, but they have honesty and decency that God forbid everyone.
We were very pleased with our choice, and it is very disgusting to read bad reviews about the hotel. We need to whine less and cling to everything. You make your entire vacation for yourself - with your mood, company and attitude to life. Believe me, life will become much easier) Have a good vacation, if you have any questions, write, I will be happy to answer.
