In the last week of January, I managed to escape for a vacation. But what a vacation without work)) I took the opportunity to look, live and eat at the Dana Beach Hotel 5 *. The one that is located on the African continent in Hurghada. Therefore, I share with you a week of summer and relevant information in the conditions of global obscurantism. So. . .
Location: 10 km from the airport. The transfer takes 15-20 minutes. Everything is traditional. Within walking distance are a number of shops (across the road) and Senzo Mall (7-10 minutes walk). A new trick from the transferman: "You need to go to a meeting and choose a time for your return flight. You need to come with the whole family, because if one comes, he will fly home in the evening, and whoever does not come (wife, children) will fly early in the morning... ". There are no comments here. We decided not to go at all, with the hope that they would forget about us and leave us, but no... A week later they were sent home)
Territory: large, green and well-groomed. The chip of the hotel - a transfer to the beach is carried out by boat along an artificial river. Free)) 1-2 minutes. If you walk - 5-7 minutes.
Beach: wide beach strip 600 meters long. I counted about 850 umbrellas. Guests of the hotel "Jungle Aqua Park" are brought to the beach. But due to the lack of tourists, the beach is 10 percent full. near the beach bar. The sand is clean, fine and with a yellowish natural color)
Sea: Red. Salty. I tried it personally)) In the lagoon it is shallow (from 2 to 3 meters deep). There are no fish, no corals, there is enough garbage at the bottom. At what employees of law enforcement agencies have nothing to do with it at all. The water in the lagoon is cold in winter - 19-20 degrees Celsius above zero. If you want to swim comfortably, then I recommend walking along the coast to the right to a stationary pier. There is no less garbage here and it is even better visible, but the water is already warmer (22-23 degrees), there are islands of corals and their underwater inhabitants. For lovers of the beauty of the Red Sea, this hotel is not at all an option.
Animation: 4 years ago my son worked here as an animator. So at that time the team consisted of 16 people. Now there is a crisis ((Only 2 animators are working. Of all the entertainment - morning exercises on the beach, zumba dances and beach volleyball. Everything else: "And now, darling... Himself... ". For your own self-entertainment at the hotel there are: bocci courts, two table tennis tables, a mini-golf course (18 lanes), two tennis courts and a mini-football field.
Pools: I counted 5 large ones. These are: 1. Activity (cold near the reception). 2. Children's with a water park (heated, 7 slides for children up to 10 years old). 3. Near the restaurant "Castello" (heated). 4. Relax (cold, between the 5th and 4th buildings). 5. Near the spa (heated).
Dining & Dining: The hotel has three main restaurants:
- "Castello" - open for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and for dinner they make a bias on the marine theme. Fish and squid are fried every evening). It is located in the center of the territory on an artificial island.
- "Le Marche" - works only for breakfast. Located on the ground floor of the reception building.
- "Orient" - works only for dinner. Located on the second floor of the reception building.
- The Asian restaurant located near "Castello" does not work today.
In general, the assortment is limited (the hotel is loaded by 15-20%), but everything is of high quality and tasty. Vegetables, meat, fish are always available)) Alcoholic drinks are traditionally locally produced. Packaged juices. Bottled beer. There is good coffee (not only instant coffee) and they make milkshakes.
Bars:
- "Lobby" - an alcoholic bar in the hotel lobby;
- "Piano" - located behind the reception, in addition to alcohol, there is also brewed coffee, milkshakes and sweets - cookies));
- "Jazz" - located on the left at the entrance to the hotel. Alcohol, brewed coffee and billiard tables at your service;
- "Columbus" - located near the first building, brewed coffee and sweets;
- "Castello" alcohol bar near the restaurant of the same name. There is ice cream;
- "Sport" - located near the SPA (reception building), alcohol bar near a large TV screen;
- "Beach" - works on the beach from 10 am until sunset. In addition to drinks and ice cream, you can have a fast food snack for lunch. This is if they did not have time or were too lazy to go to Castello.
There is also a "Food Cord", but as a food establishment it does not work now. In the evenings, they play music (something like a disco) and there is a bar.
Rooms: three main categories of rooms. These are standard, superior and family. The standard differs from the superror only in area, and the family rooms are two-room. There is a tea set, a safe, a minibar with water and cola (fanta, sprite randomly), as well as cold and hot water. Those. all amenities. Bathrobes and slippers are only in the family rooms (you might think that in the standards tourists fly naked around the room). There are also no pots, so you have to use the toilet in the old fashioned way. Now tourists are settled in buildings 1.5 and 6. The rooms are renovated. Building 4 is empty, while buildings 2 and 3 are undergoing major repairs. There is construction going on, but it does not interfere with the rest at all.
Spa and gym open as usual. Gym for free, SPA - for pounds or other hard currency. You can still bring beauty to the salon of the same name for an additional fee. But I don't need to go there. Don't spoil me anymore : )
Internet: works throughout the hotel and in the rooms. Is free. It just doesn't make it to the beach. The speed is good, I even watched a movie in the room.
Staff: in a word, well done. Unobtrusive high service. As small bills arrived, he happily thanked people. Thanks for the rest.
Contingent: mostly Ukrainians, a few Germans (although the hotel was designed specifically for them in pre-Covid times) and Belarusians. I met Romanians and Italians, as well as desperate tourists from the Russian Federation (who get through Istanbul).
That's probably all. You can not thank)
"No, guys, I'm not proud.
Without thinking into the distance
So I will say: why do I need an order?
I agree to a medal... "
Well, for the most patient video review of the hotel. Is free. Full version.
