I will not give an assessment, I will share specific recommendations so that the rest is a success.
The main rule is to do everything with a smile, then the Arabs are much more willing to respond to requests. It would also be nice to sometimes insert phrases in English, because. they have more respect for more educated people, even if it is a couple of the most common phrases.
When you check into the hotel, do not regret $ 20 for a good room. Ask for a room from the second to the fourth floor in the right wing (No. 2130-2147.3130-3147.4130-4147) These rooms have a good view and a convenient location. We lived at 2130. We had a very good cleaner Sheriff, who always fulfilled our requests with a smile and tried very hard, for which we left him a dollar from the very first day. If you want towel figurines, leave some beach towels. The towels from the room are very bulky and it is difficult to roll anything out of them.
Food is a special topic. Of course, you need to go to have lunch at all restaurants, and they are in each of the hotels in the Golden 5 territory. Emerald is the closest to the sea and breakfasts in all hotels are almost the same, lunch is in Paradise (the central hotel, for some reason the name is not written on it, but simply Golden 5). It's more decent, better service and better cooking, even though it's a bit far to go. And for dinner it is best to go to Sapphir. This hotel also belongs to the Golden 5 chain, but is located behind the main territory of the hotel. You need to exit through the pyramid gate and cross the road. The hotel looks gloomy, but due to the fact that it is located far from the sea, the service and food there are much higher than in the main territory. And if you leave a tip somehow, the next time the waiter will already remember what drinks you drink and what dishes you prefer, because. they have very few people. If you go to Sapphir too lazy, in the evenings in front of the Orangery (Diamond) restaurant they cook fish, chicken and even grilled pigeons.
After dinner, you can watch the singing fountains (beginning at 21.00), and after - a musical show.
Let me tell you about money. Take dollars with you, not euros. But if you already have euros, change them only at the bank. There are two of them on the territory of the hotel: one is in the Paradise Hotel, to the left of the reception, the other is near the central shops (the so-called colliseum) opposite the rental of bicycles and cars. Open from 9.00 to 12.00 and from 18.00 to 21.00, except Thursday. Thursday - from 19.00 to 22.00. And do not believe that on Thursday the exchanger does not work. We were deceived by our own guide from Mostravel Hasan, saying that the exchanger does not work on Thursdays and changing the euro to the dollar for us 1.2 to 1, instead of 1.46 to 1 in the bank. It doesn’t even make much sense to change money for pounds, because. Everywhere settlements are in dollars.
If you are not going to purposefully go shopping in Hurghada, then buying souvenirs is sometimes even more profitable on site. If you find a common language with the sellers, they can give a better price, while on the territory of the hotel there is practically no risk that you will be rude or sent to hell - you go here every day and it is not known what rudeness can turn into.
About the beach in a nutshell. With children it is better to be on the left side of the beach, closer to Emerald. Here the entry into the sea is better and there are fewer people. But it is better to take sunbeds until 6 am. You can go to the water park. But the water in the pool is quite cold, it is easy to catch a cold.
It is better not to take irresponsible children to the children's club - they are looked after badly. Once I myself saw how an animator in a children's club ate a pear and, in turn, gave a bite to the kids sitting around.
Excursions from the tour operator are organized at a decent level. So feel free to use them.
In general, when you go on vacation, you must take into account the mentality of the local population and make an appropriate discount. Then the rest will be a success!
