I was with my wife from May 7 to May 14.2010. We bought a ticket from Coral Travel. The hotel is located 20 km from Hurghada. Agents of Coral (Odeon) met me at the airport and "by the hand" escorted to the bus.
- We were at the hotel at 24:00 and although this day was paid for by a ticket, we were not fed after a tiring flight and queues. I recommend bringing sandwiches with you for this occasion.
- At the entrance to the hotel, all tourists were confused by the fallen off letters in the name of the hotel, withered palm trees and the lack of greenery. Many began to evaluate the hotel by its facade, but it was not there, everything is green in the nutria, everything is blooming and fragrant.
+ Settled in a comfortable bungalow with its own veranda. Which is much better and more convenient than buildings with elevators, stairs and long corridors. In other words, everyone has their own little house on the shores of the Red Sea.
The room has a large comfortable bed, LCD TV with several Russian channels, a refrigerator, an excellent bathroom equipped with HI Tech plumbing, a free safe, good air conditioning. Every day the room was cleaned regardless of the tip, they brought water (1.5l), as it turned out later, this is not practiced in other hotels.
+ They fed for slaughter, a large number of pastries, from fruits: bananas, dates, melons, oranges, grapefruits (once even peaches were taken out, but after the raid of Russian tourists they were no longer exhibited). Fish, meat, chicken, barbecue (once a week, in the form of cutlets and sausages). As a minus in the dining room there are no teaspoons and napkins.
- Instead of juices, a divorced yuppie / invite. Chaikofe is tinted water without taste and smell. Wine and white and red supposedly of local production are powdered, beer cannot be called beer at all. Cocktails prepared at the bar are also not a fountain.
If you set a goal to get a little drunk and sip local alcohol in the morning, then in the evening, as if after kefir, it’s not in one eye. The girls drank up to 18 “strong” cocktails in the evening, but they never managed to get drunk.
+ None of the vacationers have ever complained about problems with the stomach, poisoning.
+ Upon arrival, there were no people at all, not in the dining room, not on the beach, only small groups of Germans, but by May 9 they also moved out. Only to our departure vacationers (Russians and Ukrainians) began to catch up.
The hotel has 2 swimming pools, one of them with a bar, the beach is sandy with a pier, full of mushrooms, sun loungers and figwams, there is a nudist beach not far behind the fence, but the places had to be taken in advance : -)
The sea without waves, clean, from the pier you can see all the colorful fish and corals. Diving with an ordinary mask, you can see all this splendor closer and even moray and stingray. But it is better to bring a mask with you - $5 for mask and snorkel rental, $2 for fins.
There is little entertainment on the beach, only surfing, no jet skis and paragliders.
Animation, unobtrusive, one volleyball court, oriental dances, yoga and some children's games.
-In the evening, there is no entertainment, except for live music (it plays quietly, the repertoire is narrow) and a disco, which every day, no matter how you come in, according to local workers, there will be a tumarou.
Once a week there is a show. We got a fire show.
Upon arrival at the hotel, coupons are given for free: billiards (30 min), tennis (moreover, a free court, a ball, and rackets need to be taken for money), a bus to the city (with an hour walk around the city - which is very small, you don’t have time to buy anything not to see), and a babysitter by appointment for a child.
- If you got a hotel guide Mohammed, you are out of luck! His goal is only to sell the tour, as soon as you pay the money, you will immediately cease to interest him. Despite the fact that his excursions are at inflated prices.
Despite the fact that he will whisper in a whisper about the super discount that he makes only for you and no one else. It is not realistic to achieve a solution to organizational issues from him!
- In general, be prepared that they will constantly pester you obsessively in order to sell something, do not agree to dinner at the “fish restaurant” that was served there in the 20s, there is nothing at all except salted herring and pudding, although they talked about lobsters, squid, king prawns ...It is better to go to a standard dinner in the dining room where everything will be tastier.
- The hookah is also disgusting, we got tired of asking for it to be changed, but after a three-time replacement, it did not become better.
- Tours. Beaten in Luxor. A trip in the heat is very tiring; it should only be decided by those who are confident in their abilities (5 hours in each direction in 45 degree heat).
It took 5 minutes to inspect the monuments of architecture and history, the guide constantly dragged us to a perfume shop, then to an alabaster factory, then to a souvenir shop.
- Local natives perfectly understand Russian speech (but do not understand the word “NO”), they are terribly intrusive and at every step they try to fool money, you need to be constantly on the alert.
Total: We liked the rest, a high price / quality ratio, I think you should not expect better for this money. We went there not to drink, so alcohol did not play a big role for us, and ordinary water was an alternative to yuppies, tea and coffee. The lack of nighttime entertainment was brightened up by a Russian noisy company. The main thing is the sea and the sun! ! !
