Good afternoon! Yesterday we flew in from Beach Albatros Garden. We traveled 2 adults, a child of 12 years and 1.3 years. When we checked in, we asked for a better room. We decided to see what they would give and, if something didn’t suit us, come up with a pre-stored bottle of Russian vodka. We settled in building B, far from the reception, on the second floor, to which we had to climb 3 flights of stairs. Inside the room is the same as in the photo, our shower was fenced off with a curtain. We decided that this room on the second floor would suit us just to keep fit. Although it is possible that the man who settled us could assume that with such a small child we would refuse to go up to the second floors, we would return to him with bucks in hand. Later, a few days later, we went to the room in other buildings. Yes, they had an LCD TV, yes, they had 3 walls in the shower and only one side had to be hung with a curtain, yes, they had a watering can removed in the shower, but we didn’t. BUT! ! These buildings are made on the principle of a hostel. Those. long corridors flowing into one another, so that you can get lost, and there are rooms on both sides. Those. constantly noise-din not only from the corridor, but also neighbors from 3 sides. And we always had peace and quiet, sometimes in the morning or yesterday on the stairs we heard the neighbors talking when they went out and went into the room. In general, we also, as someone wrote earlier in the reviews, decided for ourselves: after taking a shower, we threw hand towels on the floor and did nothing, and we practically didn’t watch TV, you can watch it at home, why on rest deprive yourself of everything interesting in favor of the TV set. By the way, any issues with the managers at the reception were resolved quickly, although we thought that we would have to run after them and several times not only call from the room, but go to the reception and talk to them there. The guys are responsive and all our problems were resolved quickly and efficiently and at the first request.
Breakfast-lunch-dinners are held in the main restaurant, and you can also sign up for 2 restaurants: Italian and Chinese. Italian is not very good, but we liked Chinese. We went to restaurants 4 times, because at first we thought that you can go for free only once in each. It turned out that you can walk at least every day. Recorded in the evening, and the next evening they got to dinner. As we understood, you can visit one restaurant per evening, but on the last day it so happened that we enrolled in Chinese, and the child enrolled us in Italian. So he went to his Italian, and we went to Chinese. And then after Chinese pizza ate. The food in restaurants is fresh. The wine tastes better than in the main restaurant.
Now about the main restaurant. At the beginning of our holiday, the products were fresh, well, at most in the evening there was something from lunch, or in the morning something left over from dinner. There were bananas, oranges, dates, strawberries (although on the cakes, but there were a lot of them on the cakes), peaches, kiwi, there seemed to be grapes, melon, apples, guava, lime. There were also a lot of vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and different ones, lettuce, carrots, pumpkin, radishes. Well, the rest of the food was ok, and the meat was made in different ways, fish, squid stewed with vegetables, stewed vegetables, and very tasty zucchini, carrot, pumpkin. You can take potatoes or rice as a side dish. Potatoes were stewed with rings or fries, or both at the same time. The sweets were also delicious and plentiful. BUT! It was first. And we still did not understand why then they began to give us food, for example, for dinner, what was cooked at best yesterday morning, and towards the end of the rest, even two or three days. Once they took stewed vegetables, but did not eat it, since the pumpkin was sour. For example, sweets could be given the day before yesterday, already hard and weathered. The deterioration of food fell just at the time when the manager of the restaurant was replaced and almost all the Germans left. So it remains a mystery, either the manager is so bad, who takes all Slavs for pigs, to whom you can serve rotten meat, or they buy food on certain dates, and it so happened that we got into such a transitional period when at first there was good food, then horror terrible, and then again became fresh. It also coincided that at the end of our holiday there were again a lot of Germans. One pleased that at least for the children's table they always gave fresh dietary products.

The hotel is not very big, as it seems from the first and even from the second time, therefore, they quickly reached the restaurant and the pool with slides and the bar with the animation platform. The territory is really common with 3 hotels and I was even surprised when I the girl from Aqua Blue led me to show where they live, that it turns out that this is not our territory, but theirs. Hills are tall. As we figured, from our 5-story building. On the territory of Aqua Blue there is a pool with artificial waves, it's great to ride them, since there are almost no waves in the sea, as in our lakes. There are also children's slides on the territory of Aqua Blue. There was a very cool animation, the guys were smart, the time passed unnoticed.
After a few days of our vacation, we came to the conclusion that it’s better to go sunbathing at the hotel in the morning, ride on the slides, participate in animation programs, and go to the sea in the afternoon. Go to the sea from our hotel from our building through the territory of Beach Albatos is very fast. We did not immediately believe when they told us, but really 5-7 minutes slowly. The central beach is given to Beach, and we have the left side and a little from Beach. Because we went to the beach at 3.30-4 hours, then the sunbeds were just where we needed, almost on the border of our beach and Beach. You can’t lie on the sun loungers of the middle beach, even if a bunch of sun loungers are free. We were a little jokingly saddened that we had left blue towels at home - exactly the same as those of vacationers in the beach. To the left of our pontoon there is a wild beach and a very pleasant sea, you have to walk a long time before you reach the depth, and on the other side the sea is warmer than in the lagoon where our beach is located. On the territory of Beach there are goki. In fact, there are 2 of them. One spiral with which you need to roll down on a circle, and the second is a straight line, which consists of 4 or 5 slides. We read that you can use the territory of the Beach and decided that you can ride from the slides. It turns out that you can’t ride down the hills, but he allowed us to ride once. Our slides were much better.
Evening shows are nothing like that, even the fire shows were tired. There was no vulgarity. Everything is quite cultural. Children's animation seems to start at 8.30, and for adults at 9.30 to 10.30. Then the animators collect those who wish and take them to a disco in Hurghada and have fun together. Entrance costs $10. At 02.30 they are taken back to the hotel. While we were having animation and later, music sounded on the territory of Aqua Blue, it seemed even in a live performance, or maybe either live or recorded. In general, there will be something to do, even for young people. During our vacation, there were approximately equal numbers of families with children and young childless people.
Here is everything about the Beach Albatros Garden Hotel in a nutshell. If anyone has questions, write, I will answer.
