We have been vacationing at Coral Beach Hurghada 4* since the beginning of November 2023. This is the first time in this hotel, not the first in Egypt, that is, there is something to compare with. We chose the hotel based on reviews, namely that line 1 has a beautiful living reef.
Therefore, I want to write about this right away.
BEACH, SEA, UNDERWATER WORLD.
Line 1 turned out to be not what many people usually imagine, including us. From the room (4000+) to the beach, where we lived, is 600 meters. On that side (to the right of the lobby) there is no landscaped path to the sea; you have to walk along an abandoned area on the sand. The first few days were stressful, but then we got used to it. There are toilets and showers, close to the beach. The supply of towels is also not far away, it’s great that you don’t have to pick them up for lunch.
The beach is gorgeous, spacious, clean, for any preference, lagoons with sandy shores, open sea with a pontoon. Who is interested in silence, the sound of the surf and wind, the sea (not lagoons), beautiful sunsets behind the mountains, the underwater world, settle on the right side of the lobby, the closest to the sea is the pontoon.
The sea feels clean, without large ebbs and flows, very beautiful, with a color ranging from turquoise to purple. The wind was constantly in one direction, but not strong, it was hot without wind, the temperature was 34-35.
The reef, which is within reach (along the line with the buoys), is 60% dead. I don’t understand those who write that this hotel has the best reef in Hurghada, this is not true, you probably haven’t seen live reefs or you’ve only seen them once. There is a living reef (according to stories) behind the buoys, behind the lagoon in the open sea. We didn’t sail there, it was very far, but excursions were constantly brought there on yachts and boats, it was enviable. Maybe when the hotel had a diving center, you could also get there by boat or boat, but now the center is closed. We took a boat excursion to the outer reef of our hotel, so we were taken in a completely different direction, the money for the excursion was returned, but the day of rest was ruined.
There are a lot of fish, both big and small, and schools; here I saw a crocodile fish for the first time. There are many small and medium-sized gray-blue stingrays, some are quite tame, on the last day one stingray swam around me at a distance of 1 meter, looked at me, waved its “wings, ” cool. Most of the fish are behind the buoys, perpendicular to the right side of the pontoon, it’s shallow there, the water is clear and you can see them well, like in an aquarium. We read in the reviews that there is a pet turtle, but we didn’t see one, it’s a pity.
NUMBER.
We took the standard with a garden view. The room is good, not large in size, with a veranda, the main thing is clean, not tattered, apparently after renovation, without mold. There is a large wardrobe and a safe. There are no cosmetics in tubes, only dispensers. Cleaning is normal.
The lighting is semi-dark with several light bulbs, you won’t find anyone who needs bright light, take a light bulb with you.
The TV is a rarity, i. e.
box, there are Ukrainian and Russian-language channels, but they are about nothing, i. e. there is nothing to watch. Maybe it’s good that there is no politics. They turned on a local channel with their songs, but the songs were kind of mournful, although I like Arabic music.
The room has a kettle, cups, tea, coffee, sugar. There is a small refrigerator.
There is not enough summer blanket to cover you at night. The blanket is thick, it's hot under it. It may be normal with the air conditioner on, but we turned off the air conditioner at night.
FOOD.
The assortment is standard for Egypt, rice, pasta, pasta, potatoes, fish, meat, chicken, prepared differently every day. For my taste, it was prepared very tasty, not bland. Lots of salads, very tasty pastries, lots of fruit. The wine is ok.
TERRITORY.
Very large, well-groomed and green center. Praise to the landscape designer and gardener, very beautiful areas with cacti and other plants, flowers and compositions.
But the central alley towards the sea should be planted with trees so that there is shade, like at the beginning of the alley. We walked along this alley from the sea to lunch and from lunch, but at that time the sun was at its zenith and there was no shadow.
CONTINGENT.
Western Europe, Baltic countries, Ukraine (few), Russia. There are few locals, probably because it is not the beach season for them, they were not visible at all at sea, they were sitting in the pool. In general, the public is quiet and calm, at least during the day, we don’t know at night.
ENTERTAINMENT.
Good evening animation, every day a new show, but they start late, after 21.30, in my opinion it’s better to start at 21.00 immediately after the children’s program. I especially liked the music and songs sung by the girl with the African hairstyle. I don’t know about the daytime animation, they weren’t interested.
SHOPPING.
On the territory of the hotel there are only a few shops with the most necessary things for a holiday, many shops are closed.
There are also no shops within walking distance of the hotel; for gifts you have to go either to Hurghada or to the large SENZO MALL shopping center. We went to the Sheraton by taxi for $16 (there, there, and back, 4 hours). A taxi was called at the hotel.
+++
I liked the service staff, polite, attentive, friendly, especially at the reception. It’s bad that they don’t have badges, so I can’t name them.
Tour operator Alliance, flights were almost on time, there was a delay of 30 minutes. Host of JOYCE-TOUR. Thanks to the accompanying guides.
---
No hot water. On the first day they said this, they promised to turn it on, but they didn’t turn it on, or maybe they turned it on, but it took a long time to drain the water. I think the hotel should not save on heating water; it is better to save electricity on lighting, namely, put lamps along the alleys that are charged from the sun.
Flies need to be poisoned, at least in a restaurant.
Mosquitoes are also not poisonous, so take fumigators with you.
Bottom line.
The hotel is decent, a solid 4.
Despite the disadvantages, we had a good rest and took a little break from our reality.
I wish the hotel staff health and well-being. Prosperity hotel. To the beloved Egypt of the world.
Good bye.
Therefore, I want to write about this right away.
