Hello everyone, so I decided to write my review and we rested with the bride from 11/5/2011. to 12.11. 2011 Let's start in order:
We arrived in Hurghada at 12.20 pm, after passing through all the queues for obtaining a visa, all passengers, including us of our flight, waited for our luggage for 30 minutes, after receiving it, we went to the bus on which we would be taken to the hotel. Here again there was a delay, some tourist was lost and we waited another 20 minutes for him, in the end we went without him. On the way to the hotel on the sides of the desert and unfinished houses. We were taken to the hotel in about 15 minutes. This is of course the advantage of Golden 5, there were tourists in our bus who were taken to their hotel for almost 2 hours, and they took us to the airport last.
Now about the settlement. We arrived at the hotel at 15 o’clock, left our things at the entrance, a rapist approached us and took our passports and began to ask if we needed a good room or what it would be (before the trip, I myself read a bunch of reviews that people were sitting for a long time, waiting for check-in and who gives money who does not), we decided to give 20 bucks and within 15 minutes we were given the keys to the room and took our things to the room.

Room on the 5th floor of the main building, excellent view of the pool and the restaurant on the terrace, you could see the sea and ships in the distance (in short, the view is gorgeous), now about the room itself, the furniture is old (the hotel is still not new) but everything worked and TV and air conditioning. They cleaned the room when asked (no one vacuums at home every day), the towel was also changed when you leave it on the floor. They made figures on the beds.
Leaving things, we went to inspect the territory, it is simply huge, though on the outskirts and in the corners there are unfinished houses and garbage, but it did not bother us.
There are several pools on the territory, but everyone mainly used the pool where the water park was, there were 5 slides and it was quite fun.
The sea is wonderful, the beach is completely sandy and the entrance to the sea is also sand, which is very convenient, up to a depth of about 80 meters there are several corals and fish you can see (take masks and flippers with you) Although you can buy it there, the price does not differ from Russia, but more on that later. There were always sun loungers, although wicker umbrellas must be borrowed until 8 am, since the beach is designed for 7 hotels that are part of the Golden City complex (or already 8)
Now about food. As they wrote in the reviews about the poisoning, this did not happen to us, the food was always varied meat, chicken, fish, rice, potatoes, pasta were not hungry. So you can eat and drink all day there are enough bars. From alcohol I drank only beer. I don't know how much you need to drink to get tipsy : )). Take alcohol in the dutik. I think that people get poisoned from a lot of drunk alcohol and not from food. I won’t write much about baking - in short, it’s just a miracle.
In the evening, you can walk around the territory to watch the fountain show, a rather beautiful sight. We did not go to discos (we already had something to do).
We did not go on excursions because of the uneasy situation in Egypt, we only took a yacht excursion to a paradise island. And the advice is not to take a paradise island for the whole day, there is nothing to do there for so much time, it took us an hour to swim there and take pictures, there is very beautiful white sand and the emerald sea.

Now about souvenirs. On site in the shops everything is 5 times more expensive, we went to a fixed price store. It is about a kilometer to go to it. (Get out of the complex and to the right for about 10 minutes walking across the road to the Cleopatra store. ) Magnets from 1 pound to 8 pounds. Papyrus 12 pounds size 20 by 30 cm. These are a couple of items for comparison just wrote. There is everything from magnets to leather products.
So in general, we liked everything, I just don’t understand those people who initially want cheaper vouchers, and then upon arrival they start looking for cockroaches, ants and other insects, and after 7 days when it’s time to go home they are happy that they found a cockroach in Egypt or dust in the room (not worrying about the fact that they will also have dust at home that they do not often clean up)
BTW, ABOUT INSECTS, THERE ARE MOSQUITOES AND OUR RUSSIAN MEANS DO NOT WORK ON THEM, so either do not open the windows in the evening or buy an Egyptian remedy.
So everyone take a good mood with you and the rest will be great !! !
