Why are we all going to Egypt? If you turn off the sightseeing attractions from the list, there are universal desires - the Sea, food, bed, entertainment.
I will make a reservation right away - this is far from the first time abroad, in particular, in Egypt - the second, for the first time we were in golden five (in which complex - I don’t remember point blank).
We went for three weeks, together with my husband. I'm 24, he's 33. Voucher from Coral Travel. Three weeks for ANY hotel is a lot, if not diluted. Initially, we decided on 1 excursion per week - Cairo, Luxor, the monasteries of St. Anthony and Paul. Realizing that in Luxor now under 60 degrees Celsius - changed to a two-day Cairo + Alexandria. But - I will not talk about excursions - if anyone has an interest - ask, I will describe separately.
Arrived around 14:30 Egyptian time, settled somewhere within 20-25 minutes. Fast. They didn’t give money - we don’t really know how to do it. As a result, we got the number 3415, not new, but solid, close to the restaurant, 150-200 meters from the sea, no more.
The main thing is that human entertainment noises didn’t get us, unlike the rooms, which are very close to the pool and the reception, and the view from the terrace is on the lawn-trees, a piece of the sea, and most importantly, no one constantly roams past the terrace, unlike 1 line)))) By the way, I don’t recommend overpaying for it, because the desert-beach strip is sooo wide - you still won’t find yourself on the shore, 100 meters will still have to stomp. I won’t describe the number, the photo below) 1 I’ll say - the number was larger than the standard one) compared. what we did to deserve it - I have no idea!
On the territory - to walk, not to walk too much, I saw the landscaping better, but I can understand the guys - the territory is really impressive in size. Compared to most hotels in and around Hurghada, the beach strip is a clear winner (for fun, take a ride around Hurghada and look at other hotel complexes - compare scales).
The declared length of the beach is 1200m, it seems, but this is with all the curves and capes. Sand - yes, pier - yes, reefs - yes, pebbles - yes. The sand is not Tunisian, of course, the bulk classics of Egypt) But you know where you are going. Karoch, you can swim without shoes.
Free sunbeds - darkness until 09:30 - choose any one, after that, however, there is always one, DO NOT borrow anything, leave towels all the more (if you don’t believe me - please leave, but keep in mind - there is a lovely local dog on the territory of the hotel, which is very likes to sleep on free sunbeds with towels).
I won’t write about fish and reefs - a lot has already been written. We regretted that we did not take diving - it is quite safe - test dives are carried out right on the territory of the hotel, at the pier. People squeak))) Other entertainers are also available - 3 of their own large boats, a boat for bananas and similar things, surfing, for those who know how - there is also a wing.
The burning question of nutrition. Not a four. Four is, roughly speaking, 3 types of meat.
There will also be an average of 1 type of meat + chicken + fish. Fruit every time: pears, oranges, dates. Through time: bananas, melon. Rarely watermelon. and now WARNING: it is important to understand that the problem is not in this particular hotel. After the revolution, Egypt is economical, economical and fives as well. We went to Cairo with a woman who is vacationing in Egypt for the 7th (! ) time - for health reasons, roughly speaking. And she assured that her five, in which she was the second time, became very poor. Therefore, guys, if for food, it’s better to go to Turkey)) On the other hand, pastries, as always, are on top, as are pies. Various combinations of stewed vegetables are good, rice is always excellent, very good fish variations. Do not refuse soups - Russian stomachs need hot liquid! So that they don’t say later that you are poisoning)) And one more thing - food can be scolded, but it’s hard not to gain a kilogram - another. So be careful!
Regarding the queues in the dining room - yes, they are, sooo funny)) First, 5-10 minutes before one entrance (and there are three of them), a crowd accumulates (naturlih rally! ) Despite the fact that almost all hot dishes are duplicated on 2 sides of the restaurant, people stubbornly at the entrance gets up in one long dull tail) Do not be fooled! I stood in line a couple of times - in the morning for scrambled eggs - and then when they came to the very beginning)) After 20-25 minutes after the start of breakfast, the queue was already as it happened)
The restaurant is really small. But if you turn on the logic, and don’t run headlong to get food, but first take a table, there will be no problems) People with full plates, wandering around in search of a place - it’s funny, by God)) I wasn’t ashamed of the Russians - because there are funny shots from everywhere - like a German grandmother, shaking her gray bells over her soup, or polka, 4 times in a row demanding the cook to replace a piece of meat for her.
For drinks on the beach, by the pool, in the lobby.
Water, "juices", coffee - always freely available (when the establishments are open, of course) - pour yourself (I don't know how it was before - someone complained that it was impossible). Everything else is poured by the bartender. I did not notice any prejudice against the Russians. Only one thing: if you are relaxing with a girlfriend, wife, sister - better send girls for drinks - because girls love compliments, and Arabs love girls more than men) Regardless of the nation!
By the way, according to the national composition of the hotel: Russian-Germans-Poles somewhere 40/25/20/ There are France, England, Arab countries - but in a deep minority.
For entertainment - modestly, again, keep in mind that in this regard, the whole of Egypt saves, where there used to be animation teams of 40 people, they left a maximum of 20. But - volleyball on the beach - please, the morning cries of local lighters available, water aerobics - yes, well, a bunch of all kinds of paid things, billiards, tennis, etc.
The evening show is local, but I sincerely advise you to go to the "Egyptian Night" - belly dance and skirt dance (tanura). Visiting artists - on top. And this is not at all the belly dance that we are used to. Fakir show is also very personal. If you want to laugh - go to Mr. and Miss Rotana, to the competition "best couple" (best couple) - humor is available! And the evening "dance concept" is not bad, it seems to be called, there will be salsa, and tango, and rock and roll performed by almost pros and not at all professional contestants)
We don't have children. So it’s difficult to answer questions about the children’s menu and children’s entertainment.
Lure to all sorts of excursions, beauty saloons, etc. - every day on the beach, like everywhere else. But on the 3rd-4th time you will no longer be tormented - just say hello)
There are shops on the territory, but cut their prices in half - it's better to hit the road to Hurghada. However, what to bring from there, from Egypt ...Only a short-lived tan, improved health and good memories)
The eternal question - would I return there if Egypt again? Why not.
And the last - a special huge thank you to Islam - a deeply loved hotel guide! We dropped by almost every evening - just like that, to talk - about everything that interested us in this country. And
We are lucky to meet you.
If you have any questions - write, I will help as much as I can)
