Rested at the hotel from 4 to 11 July. I'll start with the most priority nuances for us in the hotel.
Territory: a huge, well-groomed territory (common for three hotels - Ali Baba, Aladdin and Jasmine),
green and well equipped! Walking in the evening is a real pleasure!
Sea: a clean, huge beach, the entrance to the sea is mostly sandy, but there are also pebbles and several piers.
On the beach there is a cafe where wonderful waiters work like bees (especially Misha - Mohamed). It was always a pleasure to have lunch there!
By the way, I warn you right away - a tip of at least a couple of dollars a day is the best stimulant for you to become the highest priority client,
really believe! Lobsters for $ 20 per person are not offered to everyone)))) Draw your own conclusions!
By the way, we exchanged 1 dollar for about 50 dollars, which was quite enough for tips and small expenses! So do you want
to be treated like VIP clients, do not spare a couple of dollars a day and "feed" the waiters.

Rooms: We lived in a bungalow for three adults. cleaned every day, and it's pretty good. True, swans and hearts
you can’t wait for towels - apparently they don’t know how, they even left a dollar a couple of times, one fig didn’t help. So, by the way, for example, waiters receive
$ 100 a month - they have such a salary))))) Draw conclusions what gratitude for a tip will be!
Animation: every day a whole range of activities, the guys are always positive. But we saw them mostly on the beach and in the evening
when we walked around the territory, we observed some of their activities from afar. We were our own animators.
Excursions: interested in the culture and history of Ancient Egypt, I advise Luxor with a visit to the temple of Dendera. The trip is exhausting and hot enough
in the valley of the dead and near the temple of Hatshepsut, it was really 50 degrees in the sun with a penny. One piece of advice - by no means in T-shirts and shorts !!!!!
White linen or light trousers made of natural fabric, a white T-shirt underneath and a white long-sleeved shirt on top, preferably
loose-fitting, comfortable closed slippers WITHOUT heels and a panama hat in white! Apply face cream with protection
at least 30, otherwise just burn! Yes, and in no case do not buy souvenirs from street vendors on excursions - even
don't talk to them! Stop and then just do not get rid of!!!!!
The trip there and back in total - about 8-9 hours by bus... I do not advise taking small children there!
Yacht trips are all great, but just check the program in advance!
dry don't take a ration - it's just SHIT! Ask the waiter to collect if you have established a relationship, or discreetly collect your own food at dinner.
There is a refrigerator in the room - everything is stored without problems!
Souvenirs: we bought in Hurghada on Sheraton Street, be sure to bargain to the last!! ! So we traded 50 dollars))))
Moreover, a bronze hookah with a height of 80 centimeters cost us $ 30. There is a promenade opposite the hotel with shops and shopping malls "Cleopatra"

fixed price - it's more for the lazy, although the prices there are quite reasonable.
Food (for us, this is in the very last place): quite varied, we ate mostly raw vegetables, greens and dietary meat
Everything was quite satisfactory. By the way, the sweets are amazing!
It is enough for the staff in the restaurant to smile and greet at the entrance and simply thank you at the exit after the meal,
they will be overjoyed! And if you "feed" the waiter and constantly address him with requests for small rewards,
let it be 1 dollar a day, it will just break into a cake! So, when we came in and just decided on a table, for me there
immediately formed a glass of water with ice without my reminders (I always drink before meals and the first two days I asked to bring before the meal).
We left just with tears in our eyes, we were escorted by almost half of the hotel... that's such an Egyptian gratitude!
Yes, and dear compatriots, behave more modestly in other countries... do not forget that you are visiting there! Sometimes I had to
to make comments to compatriots - it was too foul to look at frank rudeness towards ordinary waiters
and other personnel, in most cases UNREASONED rudeness!
I recommend the hotel to people who go on vacation with a positive attitude and interest in a country with the greatest ancient culture and history!
