Traveled as a family with a 10 year old child. I was looking for an inexpensive hotel on the first line with a sandy beach. I read the reviews. There were no high expectations from the service and food. I liked the large territory, the presence of a water park. As they say, now in order. We arrived at the hotel at about 9 am, at 10 the whole group had already settled. Thanks reception. The room is good. Bedding and towels are not new, but clean, there was no feeling of disgust. The mattress is comfortable. The air conditioner is noisy, but we were lucky - there was no need to turn it on. The shower is good, hot and cold water, good pressure, everything is in order. The food is monotonous, but it will do, we were not hungry. In the first two days we tried everything, in the end we settled on potatoes / rice / vermicelli, cucumbers / tomatoes / cabbage, the liver could be tasty, it could not be very tasty, the chicken was the same, beef with vegetables was always tasty. We did not appreciate the local dishes, not ours. From fruit all the time there were dates, guava, tasteless oranges and tangerines. The confectionery is edible. Cooking is not super tasty, edible. There was no special gastronomic pleasure. Liked the puffs. Napkins and tablecloths could be better. The beach is good, we didn’t need special shoes. The water park took the soul. The staff is attentive and safety is taken care of. On the beach and in the water park, the animators called for water aerobics, and for exercises, and for volleyball... Vacationers were not super active)). The water in any of the pools was not heated, it was invigorating. This is not a hindrance to the water park, but if you just dip, swim, then it’s cool. Every evening the hotel had an entertainment program - dancing, fire shows, discos with children, walking on broken glass. Not bad. On the day of departure, we handed over the room at 12 o'clock. They didn’t take off our bracelets - we also got to lunch. For us, another plus was the location - a good distance from the airport, in the case of excursions, we also did not have to travel long on the bus, picking up tourists from other hotels. There are a number of shops across the road from the hotel. There are a lot of them. The Grand Aquarium is within an hour's walk. We enjoyed walking around. Taxi $2 one way.
We ordered excursions from Svetlana, the site hurgada-excurs. com. With a hotel guide, the cost of excursions is 2.5 times more expensive. A little advice for those who go on a quad bike safari. If you want to get a photo (they offer photo / video shooting services), you need to go on a safari at least 3-4 days before your departure. We went on the penultimate day, we were promised to bring the discs in the evening and they did not bring them on time. Now we are waiting for our CDs - other vacationers should send them to us.
Rest for us went with a bang, nothing overshadowed it. The whole family is happy. I liked everything, great memories. The existing shortcomings did not affect the mood at all. The feeling of comfort was 100%.
