Recently returned from Egypt, I share my impressions, because I myself always read reviews when choosing a hotel. usually they went on vacation with a company, but here they had to go alone. So, in order:
ROAD: we flew with Pegasus, there are no complaints, we flew away and arrived on time, upon arrival the guys helped fill out the cards, for those who didn’t succeed, they quickly got on the bus and went to the hotel. Our hotel guide Dana met us in the evening , however, we almost did not communicate with each other - there was no need.
TERRITORY, ROOM A lot has been written about the territory of the Aladdin hotel and two neighboring ones, I confirm that what is written is beautiful, green, there is where to take a walk. worse.
After reading the reviews, I already decided which room I want. 10 dollars to the reception and specifically: the main building, 1st floor near the playground and my girl runs right from the terrace to the swing, then to the pool. The main building is a little further from the sea, but closer to the venues, restaurant and disco. Jasmine pool is also nearby
The room is good, spacious, I heard that the rooms in the bungalow are smaller and the furniture in them is older. But I didn’t see it myself. We had everything in order, everything worked without interruption, but I didn’t look for anything to complain about. Room cleaning daily. -swans from towels, fresh flowers in a vase. One dollar a day and I had excellent service, I even left things in the laundry room with a note to the cleaner, he took everything himself and brought it to the same
day. Washing is not expensive, the most expensive thing is my jeans are 12 pounds, children's clothes are even cheaper.
RESTAURANT, FOOD Of course there is no diversity in Turkey, sometimes there were small queues for something tasty. We were not hungry. what played a role, either a periodic dollar on the table, or my benevolent attitude. but for us there was always a free table, wine in a glass, and not in plastic, and we never waited for drinks even for 5 minutes. I think that it is necessary to make a fuss as a last resort, when a calm and friendly tone does not help, fortunately I have never had to conflict.
ENTERTAINMENT In the afternoon, as usual, exercises. Water aerobics, belly dancing, Latinos. I liked water gymnastics more in Jasmine. There is a very cheerful animator, groovy and charming. massage. My daughter soaked in the jacuzzi during the procedures, it’s a free application, so to speak. They didn’t extort tips, I left it myself. Miniclub from 3 to 6, no older, my 9 year old was no longer interested, fortunately there were children of her age we had fun ourselves. There is no evening animation for adults as such, on the terrace after the mini-disco, a Russian-speaking girl and a guy sometimes sang. There is a disco in the hotel, but I was not there.
BEACH Gentle sandy, good for children and those who are afraid to swim. There are no fish near the beach, so some sometimes swim
We took rubber slippers for our daughter, but they never came in handy. In general, the beach is good for children. Sun loungers are not new, wooden, mattresses are not everywhere. And of course, you need to take the best places in the morning.
EXCURSIONS I found a local tour company on the Internet. Because I was traveling alone with my daughter. I was primarily interested in security in a foreign country. I want to say that I never regretted that I turned to Ibrahim. The company is legal, the guys work honestly and conscientiously. Upon arrival sent an SMS to the hotel, Ibrahim made an appointment at a convenient time for
we met at the hotel, it was possible to book excursions right on the spot, but we decided to go to the office. We were driven around Hurghada, taken to the mosque, walked along the promenade. He suggested something. As a result, we saved almost $ 200, compared to the prices of hotel guides, despite the fact that we went to Luxor, for example, by one bus. In general, Ibrahim and the second representative Ahmed are pleasant, sociable guys, they were constantly in touch , called back, asked if everything was in order with us. Ahmed took us shopping when we wanted to buy fruits and souvenirs. Both speak excellent Russian. If I go to Egypt again, I will only contact them. adventure, when Ahmed took us to the bus to Luxor, I didn’t notice how I dropped my phone in the car. To be honest, I thought that I wouldn’t see the phone anymore. I called Ahmed just in case, he replied that yes. by car as soon as we return from Luxor , the phone will be brought to the hotel. As soon as we returned, they immediately brought me a phone, and no one even hinted at any money. Comments, as they say, are unnecessary.
Luxor was very impressive, besides, we had a good guide. He spoke interestingly in good Russian. We flew to Cairo by plane, because. we decided that the bus was very tiring. On a plane, a 40-minute flight and we are in Cairo. Of course, the pyramids must be seen at least once in a lifetime, it’s only a pity that trips to all these papyrus and perfume shops take a lot of time, and the guide was not very good, it’s good that we were “savvy” in the history of Egypt, and the guide itself didn’t bother us.
I really enjoyed the super safari. The group was small and multilingual: Hungarians, Poles and us. Thanks to our wonderful guide Mido, he constantly took care of my daughter and me. was just in
delighted. And in general he paid us a lot of attention in the best sense of the word. On a safari, they shot a video, a disk with a film + a disk with oriental music cost $ 30. Of course, the shooting was amateur, but it was enough to refresh the impressions.
The aquascope trip was impressive only until the moment
we didn’t swim in masks ourselves. Therefore, I advise this excursion only to those who by no means can swim. for 10, but 5 dollars immediately and 5 later. As a result, no disk, no money. In general, it’s her own fault, there can’t be any prepayments to strangers without coordinates in this country.
A trip to Paradise Island was organized for us by our safari guide. It’s a pity that it was on the penultimate day, but I went every day. The sea is simply amazing, the fish are incomparable. I just didn’t want to get out of the water. And thanks again to Mido, he entertained the children on the island so wonderfully and threw them into the water and swam with them near the yacht and built something out of the sand.
GENERAL IMPRESSIONS Attention from the local population - a lot, too much. In my opinion, everyone with whom she said at least one word offered to meet in the evening. At first it amused, then it became annoying. if someone crossed the boundaries, I tried to make it clear that I was not pleased or simply stopped the conversation.
Local taxi drivers are something. A 4-hour flight scared me less than a 10-minute trip to Hurghada. Songs, telephone, shouting at passing drivers, lack of traffic rules, the safari is resting. And another piece of advice that our guide gave me, never sit in front, communicate in a taxi as little as possible, negotiate the price immediately and pay only upon arrival at the place, if they start shouting that you need to pay more than you agreed. do not argue, just turn around and leave . And two more magical phrases "Tourist policy" and "Lla shukram" (no, thank you) make life a lot easier, especially if you don't look for adventure.
But in general, both my daughter and I really liked it, I hope that I will come again, but perhaps to another hotel, but only because I love variety. If anyone has any questions, ask, I will definitely answer.
