один дома или сингл в Белла Виста home alone or single in bella vista

Hello dear tourists or better vacationers.
The Bella Vista Hotel in Hurghada is no different from other hotels in the city, in the city, as it is located at the very beginning, in a chain of hotels by the sea, I mean hotels (Bella Vista, Aquafan, Waves, Segal ( old new), Minamarck, La Pasha, Regina) the first coastline, just for those who want to be in the thick of things, which means shops, cafes, discos....“May I ask!? , Bro! Hey! How are you? " well, etc. etc. Annoying Egyptians… tell me (by the way, they don’t consider themselves Arabs)…. No,... just, you need to earn money, no one pulls you by force. There are hotels where life is calmer,... for example, Khor Palace, Sultan Beach and others, this is further south... as they say, "who cares. " Personally, I prefer just “sticky Arabs”))) that’s why I was in this part of the city for the 8th time, but I decided to write a review for the first time and for some reason about this hotel, although I could also about the hotels listed above, in which I myself lived ( except for Aquafan and Waves) in my opinion (I walked along the shore and went to their territory) it’s quite sad there.
1. Yes! It’s true, you can’t bring anything into the hotel, but if you really want to, but you want to... believe me))) then take a backpack with you, but it’s not a fact that you won’t be asked to open it at the entrance, motivating this with security measures. Of course, you can also go from the side of the beach, but this is already pure extreme and partisanism... go for it))). At the entrance, there is just a large stand, where it is written in different languages, blah blah blah... not Zya !! ! Like, we care about your health. Nonsense! Taking care of your wallet, more precisely, the wallet of the owner of the hotel.

2. Room... well, here, as usual... two beds, bedside tables, 2 tables, 3 chairs... there are 2 chairs and a table on the balcony. Condo. Plumbing gave the impression of new. TV 54cm tube. 2a Russian channels (the first and Russia) broadcasting to Germany, the attention of parents... there are no cartoons, even in Arabic, sometimes it saves, since he himself went with his wife and child... he doesn’t want to sleep, but he has nothing to do. But in this hotel I was alone....the first time this happened to me, but oh well, let's move on. The hotel itself is 4 buildings with the letter P. I’ll tell you right away that there is no current floor on the first floor, that is, there is an exit (like from a balcony) immediately to the street... pipets! But this is for me, but for someone it will seem like a 2nd door. I lived in a 4-storey building with a balcony inside the hotel, yes... I gave $ 10, by the way, if you want a good room, then you have to give money and it doesn’t matter which hotel is 5 or 3 stars, just the hotel workers, again Egyptians))), don't miss the opportunity to make money. It could have been less, but at that time I didn’t have less than 10k. They wanted to slip me number 112, while I was getting money and a passport out of my backpack, since I was grated and familiar with the “orders”, then putting 10 green “rubles” into my passport said “give me a good number please” and got what I wanted . In general, they don’t speak Russian at the reception, except for one thing and that’s bad, the hotel and restaurant staff are the same. But it does not matter, it is enough to remember the school curriculum. In no case, if you come across such a room from which you can see at the bottom or opposite, so to speak, a “tent” (4-storey building - the left end, when viewed from the front) or a 3-storey building, the 2nd right part of the building, standing opposite the 4-storey building, overlooking the pool, and so, that canvas tent (tent) will not let you fall asleep until 3 am. Pestny, dancing and all that....and there is nothing to watch in it, let alone pay for it. Of course, I tried my best to explain where it is, but it's better to see for yourself. In general, the "tent" on the note, if you want to sleep. My number was 407 in the 4th floor and I practically did not hear this Mouzon. There is no Main Building (head building) as a current building, but there are also rooms just above the place, so to speak, of rest....Tables and chairs with cushions. By the way, you can smoke there, not in the lobby, you can at the bar. 2nd beach bar…. . none!! ! The bartender came when he wanted and left when he wanted. If you sit, then at the tables... there is no bar, you had to kneel down to order a drink or dive into the pool, there are some kind of chairs and sit there, it's not for me, in the summer - yes, but in March - thank you. There is also a 3rd, but I did not use it at all, since it is indoors, and I am on the beach.
There is also billiards. The hotel area is green, but not like in Regina and wide, not like in Minamarca. Segal - no comment, Segal is better, but again, this is for my taste. Advice!! ! There is a good Google Earth program, free of charge, in which you can see all the hotels in Hurghada and not only, I mean satellite images, there you can get an idea of ​ ​ the territory of the hotel. I almost forgot to mention that the room was cleaned regularly and properly, the only thing that seemed strange to me was the lack of a brush in the toilet))).
3. Beach…. . don’t expect a good beach and a lot of fish with corals in this part of the city… every hotel has boats, boats and other floating equipment, so you can see, one morning, solar spots on the water or garbage that was thrown away whatever yacht. The beach is sandy and wide enough. The entrance to the water is good, for example, in Minamarca there are stones, there weren’t here... children will be comfortable. What am I writing about children....I wanted to send my wife, mother-in-law and child there, upon my return to Moscow, but changed my mind because of the rules at the hotel (see above). We went again to Minamarck (there were no tours to Segal, and the cost rose, and the deadlines were running out). Umbrellas are large, wicker, hence the conclusion - there will be a shadow. Sunbeds wooden and plastic, 2nd more comfortable. Ice cream for children (who has All) is possible, but not on the beach, but in the hall from 15 - 17. Maybe it's for the best, because it's hot on the beach and the contrast with the cold can only harm the baby.
4. Pool. Large (there are more) cleaned regularly with a small fountain. There is a child, it smoothly flows into an adult (this is not good) it is fenced only by a small metal handrail, you will need to carefully watch so that it does not roll over through it.

5. Animation. Well,... who needs it, but I still do not need it, then this hotel did not have it. Charging, volleyball and that's it. In the evening, they try to do something in the “tent”, but whatever one may say…. bad. Although if there is a company and alcohol, then it’s possible, though for money, and for my 8 days there was 1a disco for nothing, and then none. I have an idea (even though I'm 37) about club music. Well, again, this is my opinion and you have the right to disagree with it.
6. Nutrition. Anticipating a flurry of indignation from my fellow vacationers, in Egypt they are fed normally... you won’t be hungry, that’s for sure, and some dishes are even delicious))) for all 8 times in Hurghada I “cleaned”))) only 1 time, now I’m looking at what is on my plate I put. Restaurants, of course, all these establishments in which tourists eat in hotels are difficult to call, rather a dining room, but with waiters. Just Bela-Vista, they were not quick, sleepy. There is no special food for children in this hotel, as in others the same. Yes, I almost forgot, I was surprised by the fact that there were few sweets of any kind, but maybe I got it that way, and I don’t need them, there would have been croissants for breakfast, but they were.
7. Excursions. You need to go on excursions, otherwise, it’s strange that you were in Egypt and didn’t see, for example, Luxor, but one thing, take water with you and more, it’s hot. Children, in my opinion (small ones) are better not to take, they are tormented and tormented yourself. It’s up to you to decide who to take a tour from a guide or on the street, I’ll say this, from a guide - you don’t lose your medical insurance and enjoy small benefits, such as Paradise Island, where the sun is hot and you might want to take an umbrella, but an umbrella of money costs 30 local pounds (pounds), and if the guide has it, then climb like this... it has already been paid, and the feeding will be different. They will be delivered to stores (if you go to Luxor and Cairo), where they say everything is real, but expensive, a divorce is not a divorce, it's up to you to decide.
8. Receiving party. AzurTravel met me for the first time, what can I say…. I was looking for them at the airport for 10-15 minutes and all because there was no sign in my hands. Our guide was, in principle, nothing, but forgot to tell the people who took the Bedouin tour what to wear, something long + sneakers (cover your legs and arms) and be sure to cover your head (glasses are always everywhere).

Summary….
Personally, I don’t go to this hotel, I didn’t like it, because there is something to compare with. And so you can and should go to Egypt and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, as we all know, they only learn from mistakes and it doesn’t happen that everything is always your way, somewhere, and give a blunder anyway)))) it's the Egyptians. Sea, Sun, Love and soft landing.
