Hotel ratings by criteria:
We rested from 31.08. to 14.09. 2008.
. . . We liked it, although at first we were not very set on this hotel, due to the fact that we trust the hotels of world chains more, but then we were quite satisfied. There were small problems, but if you are positive about the rest, then everything will be fine. Egypt has already been several times.
. . . Turtess - everything is fine, you can approach the hotel guide from Turtess Mustafa with all your questions, explain everything, warn you right away, put everything of value in the safe, close the doors on the balconies when you leave, do not leave beach towels for a long time - so as not to pay a fine later for his loss, etc. The hotel is large with over 600 rooms, so you understand.
. . . The contingent is a lot of Poles, there are Serbs, and other Europeans were noticed, and of course Ukraine and Russia.
. . . The accommodation hotel is divided mainly into courtyards, three floors. We rested 2 adults + a child, at first we were determined to invest money in a passport at the reception, but upon check-in, the guide himself collected passports from everyone and issued them already with room keys and bracelets. Later, after talking with other vacationers, we realized what to do and not it was worth it, the women from Russia told - they invested $ 10, but the numbers were given the same, even if we understood, well, not better. Guys, if they already settle where you don’t like it, it’s better to contact the general manager, which will be written at the end of the review. In general, we lived in 3000 Jasmine rooms, on the ground floor No. 3139. It’s good that a security guard is sitting at the entrance around the clock. spacious enough. The air conditioner worked fine, the safe was coded. A 1.5 liter bottle of water is put in the room daily. Cleaning - how to say one cleaned well, the other - so-so. Once I made a swan out of a towel.
. . . Three pools (of which one is deep, with walkways, with diving tables) + a small children's pool. In cold weather, one of them, which is closer to the sea, will be heated. Good for families with children, because there is a swimming lagoon, and who wants to swim further, on the seashore. I will say right away... compared to Sharm - fish there are no such beautiful ones, they saw only gray ones, black and yellow ones and that's it.
. . . Adult animation. Unobtrusive. Man 10 animators. Those vacationers who showed a desire took part. We became friends with the animator Chigi, a pleasant well-mannered guy.
Children's animation is rather weak, it is mainly carried out by a girl Ivanna from Serbia, from 10 to 12 hours (they sit in a kids club, paint cats and butterflies on the faces of children, watch cartoons) and from 15 to 17, a children's disco at 20-30, lasts half an hour, but the little ones are delighted with it.
Adult performances in the evenings in the amphitheater (for an amateur), adult disco starts at 24 hours.
Also in one of the bars there is live music (an Arab or Turkish animation guy sings) - after dinner, until 23.00.
For hookah lovers, they asked the hookah man for a price, he immediately said $ 10, but people who know the prices for him talked to him, and he said, OK, $ 3. So keep that in mind.
. . . The food is as usual in Egypt - beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, etc. But cooked quite well. Sweet table - in general for every taste, I liked it very much. For eating, you can choose any of the six halls, you can change them every time, and there are also tables outside. We visited several, but then stopped at the far left, the guy waiter Mohammed we liked his good manners, which is not common among their Arab brother.
A little strained workers from a paid fish restaurant, who went obsessively several times a day (I don’t remember how much) offered to order fish dishes from them.
. . . bars. On beach 2, in front of beach 1, between pools 1, and in pool 1. These are free, included in ALL, the rest are paid. In the evenings there are two - from the back of the pool and a large one between the pools. All inclusive up to 24 hours.
. . . There is a gift shop and other goods on the territory of the hotel. Opposite the hotel, there are shops across the road. But the Arab sellers are a separate song, so that they can get around it all without the nervous costs of their lack of culture, to put it mildly. Also near the restaurant (the building next to it on the left) there is a currency exchange, open during breakfast and dinner.
. . . It takes about 20 minutes by taxi to the shops of Hurghada. They work somewhere until one in the morning. Do not pay more than 20 pounds for a trip from the hotel, if one does not go, another taxi driver will go. In stores where there are no price tags, you need to bargain, reducing the price by 3 times, you will take half the price. Prices are also reduced in a store with fixed prices, if you pretend... or let's lower it, or we'll go to another one.
. . . There are two "Metro" supermarkets in Hurghada, they are small, compared to ours, there are only products and every other household trifle. We usually buy fruits in them (there are several varieties of mango from 7.50 to 34.50 pounds per kilo, limes that - something 2 pounds per kilo, good grapes 4-5 pounds per kilo, halva is different, with pistachios - super. If you want to go there - tell the taxi driver the new Metro supermarket, it is closer to this hotel, located in a new area under construction, works it seems around the clock, the calculation is only in their currency, points. I warn you right away - alcohol, and even beer is not there, because the country is Arab. It will cost 15-20 pounds to get there.
. . . What else I liked - the main manager of the hotel Ihab (in our Alexander) always walks around the territory from 9 to 24 o'clock, a tall, thin man, you can tell him everything that does not suit you. As you know, the Arabs normally work only when they are standing above them someone superior, otherwise very relaxed. Another claim (set out in English) can be thrown into the box for the chief manager against the reception, there is also his office. He gave me my business card with all my coordinates and phone numbers. So if anyone has a desire to contact him directly for any questions of interest, write to the email - I will write down his coordinates for communication.
P. S. If someone did not have time to buy souvenirs, gifts, and more... on the way back at the airport, in addition to Duty Free, there is a whole shopping mall in which the choice is very good, and the prices are even more than reasonable. Bags for women, men, toys, souvenirs and everything else... the main thing is to have enough time to get around all this before departure, this is after going through everything, before entering the runway.
. . . Guys, good luck to everyone who goes to rest. Easy takeoff, pleasant flight, soft landing.
