I want to express my opinion about the rest in this hotel. Perhaps my personal experience will help someone dispel doubts. Because after reading the reviews about this hotel, I was on the verge of giving up the trip. I myself am a tourism worker was shocked by the reviews, although I know that they should not be strongly believed.
So, my conclusions! In order
1. Do not rush to give a lot of money to the reception for changing the room. Do not spoil them and do not teach them. Start with a minimum... It cost us 10 USD per pair, and not from 20 USD per room as they wrote earlier.
They changed the room only because they wanted to put us in the 7th Salam building (where the reception is), and there are small rooms and a French balcony (more precisely, the absence of a balcony).
2.6 case is not so good as many people write. Yes, it is really a bit closer to the lagoon, but further from the main restaurant and reception and many bars. We had building 3 and its location seemed to me the best! IMHO
3. Informational cocktail held by the guide (in our case, this is frostbitten Valentina Trofimchuk from Pegas Touristik) I see no need to attend. And most importantly, when you get a piece of paper that you supposedly need to sign to register with the police, read the meaning. And you will understand that you agree that outside the hotel your insurance will not be valid DO NOT SIGN this nonsense. The insurance is valid for the period of stay in the country of EGYPT, and not for a specific hotel! Excursions from guides are much more expensive, although they scare that on the beach they will sell you the wrong thing and the wrong place - they lie! We took on the beach in Tiger Marine near Redo and Basen (represented as Vasya-Vasilek))))). Everything went great. By the way, our guide sharply loses interest in your person and becomes deaf, blind and dumb to all questions, as soon as he understands that you will not buy or have not already bought excursions from her))))
4. The rooms are cleaned well and without a tip, but if you do not pinch and leave 5 pounds (1 USD) on the bed every other day, then the cleaner will also be pleased. And there are even surprises in the form of figurines made of towels, bedspreads, etc. I even drew a swan on a piece of paper and left it on the bed with 5 pounds on top. Twisted and decorated with petals. Very cute. Water is brought every day, whether you used the old one or not.
5. With taxi drivers, with sellers, and everywhere you need to desperately bargain, the price is about three times too high. Accordingly, it can be knocked down three times). It is better not to catch a taxi at the hotel, but to walk a little ahead. If you don’t like to haggle, then go to the store with fixed prices Sultan, Cleopatra
etc. Not far from the hotel there is a large shopping center Senzo Mall, which resembles an ordinary shopping center with a supermarket on the 1st floor and branded clothing stores. Nothing interesting. The most adequate prices in Reemyvara near the Topaz Golden Five hotel there and the prices are excellent and the fruits are chic and the sellers are adequate and not pushy. The store has everything, and clothes, and souvenirs, and tobacco for hookahs and fruits, well, everything in general. We bought all the souvenirs there on the last day. And by the way, arafatki, who are interested in cotton and large ones for only 2 USD, and worse synthetics in general for 1 USD. While in Sakkala (the new center of Hurghada) with a frantic bargain they give for about 4 USD of a smaller size. And next to the Reemyvara store at the entrance they also sell fruits and spices. There is lemongrass and coffee with cardamom at the right price - who cares. Mango in Reemyvara at 1.5 USD per kg. juicy and very tasty. They even took it home (they hold up well for several days)
I do not advise you to shop at the local Horus hotel store. All razvodnyak, crazy prices, the same as the sellers. They skillfully breed people for their oils, camel milk, mares, etc. )))) They pollute the brain))) We didn’t buy oils, it’s just that we have to excuse ourselves for a long time. They start splashing, smearing for free (((
6. The staff is normal and responsive, if you are ok with them, they will be with you too. I really sympathize with the staff of this hotel. work with such a group. Somewhere below they wrote that aunts go to eat in nightgowns, pareos, etc... Hey people, if you read my review and recognize yourself, open your eyes in the room there is a piece of paper on which it is drawn what is forbidden to go to the main restaurant. Well, the fact that people raked on platters with a mountain from hunger and didn’t eat half - I’m already silent... And in bars the attitude towards the bartender: hey you Ali woman, quickly make a cocktail, or a drunken aunt proclaiming: madam wants whiskey, and that you poured me so little who do you think you are (little = half a glass). In the morning for breakfast people come with a bottle of vodka!!! ! It was sickening to watch)) What kind of attitude do people want towards themselves with such an attitude towards the staff. Keep it simple, vacationers)))
7. Taking seats on the beach at 5 am - that's where the tin. Reminds the Sea of Azov and the Crimea. People take places on the principle of one on the sea, one on the lagoon and by the pool - they tie a pareo, tie bags on sunbeds and come to lunch. And others who come at 7 in the morning have nowhere to lie down. Well, the collective farm, by God. Scarves and pareos have such a property to fly into the sea, if you get so impudent, think about it. The islands in the pool, where the poolbar is, are occupied from the night and in the morning at 6 in the morning they are already guarded by the body.
8. The food is absolutely normal, none of the four of us got poisoned. Well, we watched what we eat. There were also seafood, squid, scallops, octopuses. There was a huge grilled tuna at the entrance. In general, there is nothing to complain about, well, except for the smell in the main restaurant. some strange. Ate on the street. You can always have a bite to eat in one of the snack bars, if you don’t want to go for lunch. In the bar next to the volleyball court, they give you potatoes, pickled vegetables, flatbread or something like hot dogs.
After lunch in the bar opposite building 3 they serve pastries.
9. Regarding the hookah, yes, they already wrote that the hotel costs 9 bucks and this hookah is not traded in any way. But on the contrary, in shops the price is four times less. And on the promenade, where the hotels are Grand, Princess Palace, etc. in a cafe opposite Princess Palace 6 pounds = 1 USD and very helpful staff.
In general, you can still write a lot, but I will say one thing, the hotel is absolutely normal, and the staff. And if there are minor flaws, the price is not 5 * VIP. So... If you have any questions, write) I will be happy to help. than I can!
So, my conclusions! In order
1. Do not rush to give a lot of money to the reception for changing the room. Do not spoil them and do not teach them. Start with a minimum... It cost us 10 USD per pair, and not from 20 USD per room as they wrote earlier.
