Desert Rose Resort 5*, Hurghada, 24.08. 2008-31.08. 2008
The travel agency that advised us this hotel is City Travel LLC, Kyiv, director Victoria.
They honestly talked about the hotel, which they later convinced themselves.
Tour operator Turtess. VERY satisfied with the meeting party. Everything was organized at the highest level. Starting by plane - ending with excursions.
So, in order.
Departure at 4.05 from Kyiv. The flight was not delayed, everything is fine, except for some "non-arrogant" Ukrainian tourists.
The plane was excellent, the food was standard, the flight attendants were very attentive, the flight went perfectly.
We flew to Hurghada - met Turtesse, told where to buy a visa, took away "part" of the tour from us. Passed through passport control, the guide meeting all the time was there and helped in filling out the cards.
We left the airport - every five meters, an employee of Turtessa with a sign, a smile and showing where to go.
The transfer to the hotel took 20 minutes.
The hotel was met by a guide, Mustafa. Excellent guide, was in the hotel in the morning and in the evening. Immediately offered to buy a mobile card to save on calls. We didn't, which we later regretted. Answered all questions. Gave full information about interesting things.
Settlement. Families with children were settled first, then the rest. For 20 c. u. asked for a number. Dali overlooking the pool near the main buildings and the restaurant, though on the ground floor.
Number. Standard, two beds, a TV with Russian-language channels, a wardrobe, a mirror, a shower, an individual air conditioner that could be kept on all day, a refrigerator - upon arrival there was 1.5 liters of water, that the bar was not filled up - they warned immediately, a safe - free. .
Let's go look around the area. HUGE! Three large pools, 1-in small for little kids. The beach with its own lagoon is very convenient. Behind the lagoon is the open sea with coral not far away. Plenty of sun loungers on the beach. you could always find a place. The main restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It seems 3 more restaurants, paid. 4 bars, one of them is paid. What the guide also immediately told about. an amphitheater for evening performances, a bank, a beauty salon, a spa, a gym, a billiard room and an indoor disco with a bar.
Nutrition. It was my first time in Egypt, but I have been to other countries. Why they say that food in Egypt is bad is not clear. Plenty of food to choose from. At first we tried a little bit of everything, then we got tired of the variety, we ate vegetables, rice (every day it was different) and meat. Of the fruits were watermelons and melons. SWEETS - MOUNTAINS!
Plus, in addition to the main meals, they made pizza, hamburgers... something else, but we never even tried it. And around 5 pm in another bar tea with sweets.
Entertainment. Animation all day at the pool and on the beach. Animation - so-so. Turkey is better. Gymnastics, dancing (belly dance, salsa, latin. . . ), aqua aerobics, water dancing, darts, water pollo, volleyball.
Evening animation was every day. Guests were invited and the animators themselves held contests. At 12 we went to the disco. Disco is great. Cool, good dj, great bar (paid bar) and great bartender Mohamed.
Tours. Due to a short stay in Egypt, we only traveled to Cairo and Giza. We were given breakfast to go. The road there is difficult, the guide warned that it is better to take pillows.
The guide who accompanied to Cairo and back is just super, his name is Shauki, Sasha calls himself. Very attentive, with a sense of humor.
The guide who showed us Cairo, Giza (Pyramids, Sphinx and oil shop), the museum of antiquities, the papyrus and souvenir shop was just excellent. Egyptian - Olga, everyone knows her as "Kuko". Thank her very much. Very interesting and told a lot.
Lunch was served in the restaurant on the ship. Lunch is like lunch. Drinks - for a fee. They also warned about this.
All 5 hours ended. The road home was easier, because during the day we were very tired and slept in a sleepy one.
Arriving at the hotel, fed a late dinner.
Departure. Woke up with a call. We did not wait for the porter, so the suitcases with wheels in hand were for the transfer. We were taken to the airport, spent. Everything is fine, according to the standard.
The hotel manager was always present at the evening animation. You could contact him for problems. During the week of my stay at the hotel - I did not see a single person who approached him.
Once at dinner, I forgot my phone in a restaurant. Found out two hours later. I returned - the waiter boy recognized me, took me to the elders in the restaurant, they were looking for the owner of the phone, trying to find some thread number in it. The phone was given - FOR WHAT VERY GRATEFUL !!!!
Overall, we were very satisfied with the rest. The only thing is that there are a lot of Russians in the hotel, not always behaving correctly. But if you do not pay attention to them, then everything will be fine.
