Rested at the hotel from 20 to 30 December 2008. We chose this hotel (for the price) because. planned excursions. In Egypt, the third time, in Hurghada - the second.
ABOUT THE HOTEL. The hotel is brand new, even unfinished. THOSE. the hull itself is ready, but there will apparently be something else behind it. It is located across the road from a huge complex of five Golden 5 hotels. Walking distance to the beach is about 20 minutes walking. There is a bus and taf-taf, but we did not use and do not know how convenient it is. It was not hot, to put it mildly, so we walked to the beach easily and with pleasure. The hotel rooms are very good, large (two rooms, a large loggia, a bathroom and a small hall). Two TVs, 5 Russian programs, free mini-bar. There were very few vacationers in the hotel (10-15 people), so all attention was paid to us, loved ones. The staff is very friendly, helpful and not a hint of baksheesh, although, seeing such an attitude, they gave excellent Turkish coffee at the bar (costs 10 pounds or 2 dollars). Cocktails and other drinks are prepared there without baksheesh and free of charge. There were rarely more than two couples in the restaurant at the same time. They cook well, often in front of you. you are offered to wait, having fun with ready-made snacks, then the waiter will bring and immediately remove the empty dishes. Being a slob, she dropped something on herself. The waiter ran up, shook it off and helpfully laid a napkin on his knees... A trifle, but nice. Construction is not heard in any room. First, can it be suspended? Rooms went out from all living in the other direction. Although the side was shady, but I wanted the sun. But we didn't argue. No one gave Bakshish during the settlement. The contingent of vacationers is Russian-speaking. I think that when the hotel starts working at full capacity it will be very expensive, judging by the interior, and Western European oriented.
Complex Golden 5. Before the trip, I read very scary reviews on the Internet. It was a little creepy. The territory is large, beautiful, well-groomed. We could use the entire infrastructure of the complex (along with the rest of these hotels). Rarely used (only at lunchtime) the restaurants of other hotels. There were also few vacationers there - 95% Russian-speaking. More choice than ours and cooked normally. Of the evening entertainment - the evening show "Singing and dancing fountains". We liked it. There is a disco club (located to the right of the fountain in the main building of Paradise - no need to climb the stairs) at 10-10.30 pm, of course, a different show began every day - a dance with skirts, a fakir, a dance of derves, etc. All did not attend. Everyone will find liquor for himself. There are plenty of them.
WEATHER, NATURE. We were in Sharm in April - the weather is warm, comfortable, not hot. You can swim. Actually, I'm a jerk. We were in Hurghada in July. I liked it very much, it was hot - 35-37 gr. , water 28. Due to the dry climate, it is easily tolerated. In the summer we went only on boat trips, we were always very satisfied. The sea, the fish. . . In winter, there is a very short warm day. Heat starts at 10 o'clock, ends at 16. You can swim and sunbathe almost without cream. Air temperature from 20 to 26. Water 22-23. Swimming is very good. But. . . the wind. It gets dark at 17. The wind intensifies and gets colder to 17-15, and maybe more. Therefore, evening entertainment is not a whim. In winter we went to -
TOURS. Tour operator - Pegasus. In the summer we took excursions on the beach - cheaper and the quality is the same. In winter we were in Luxor (1 day), Cairo and Alexandria (2 days). More expensive than other tour operators - for all excursions for two, $ 504. In general, we are satisfied. It is impossible to pass by such a story... I think for children under 10 years old it is very tiring and nervous for parents. About where they were, what they saw is full of reviews and information.
It's all. I will answer questions.
P. S. An important detail is that we are 52-53 years old... Usually young people write...
