Rested with my wife in January 2009 (January 10-17).
Golden Gate travel agency (well done girls, they did everything quickly and correctly), operator Anex Tour, more on that. Wizzair airline, the new Airbus A320, the flight was easy and fast.
Upon arrival, the operator immediately decided to earn extra money - they asked for $ 17 for visas, while the price was $ 15. We turned to the window, where visas are for 15, and the representatives of the operator only have papers for
fills were taken. At the reception and in general in the hotel, many people speak Russian. Settled in 15 minutes in a large room on the second floor overlooking the singing fountains.
The hotel area is very large, you can walk around the entire complex of 5 Golden Five hotels. Very clean, tidy, well maintained, surrounded by palm trees, trees, bushes. The hotel has two swimming pools, one (round) is even heated.
The room is spacious, two large beds, the furniture is not old, all appliances, including a refrigerator and a hair dryer, are fully functional. There are wicker chairs and a table on the balcony. The spacious bathroom is also in order. They cleaned every day, even changed the sheets. The service is unobtrusive, and even the cleaners understand Russian.
Liked the food. We took half board (breakfast + dinner). A lot of different vegetables, fruits, meat dishes, cool pastries, cakes and pastries. In the morning you can order an omelet, which is prepared in front of you. There are no complaints about food, just do not eat a lot of unfamiliar food. It was possible to go to eat at any of the 5 Golden Five restaurants, but many people say that the Club is especially tasty, I don’t know. We only went to ours and were satisfied. For half board in the morning tea-coffee-cocoa is free, in the evening drinks are paid. We bought separately water in a bottle of 6 liters (a shop on the road outside the gate, 8 pounds), took a kettle with us, and drank tea in the room on the balcony. The fountain show was watched directly from the balcony, I liked it.
Beach. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to it. The beach is large (1 km long), sun loungers, mattresses and umbrellas are always enough. There is a sandy entrance and coral reefs. The sea is warm, we swam with fins and a mask. The variety of fish and corals is less than in Sharm, but also pretty decent. We saw huge parrot fish, Napoleon, lionfish, stingray, and many small colorful fish. When the tide is out, starfish, hedgehogs begin to crawl out of any cracks.
and other living things.
Near the beach there is a lagoon where you can ride a board with a sail. There are restaurants on the beach where we actually dined. The price is cheaper than AI, and you can pay on the day of departure at the reception.
There are water slides, open from 10-00 to 16-00. I rode everyone, I liked it. There are children's slides and pools. Iceberg, which is on all the advertising posters, was not seen. But there is a cable car that will take you from the beach to the Paradise Hotel or back for $ 3.
There is a bank on the territory of the hotels (you can exchange dollars for pounds at the normal rate of 1 $ = 5.5 LE), many souvenir shops, two Internet cafes (the cheapest is 20 LE per hour). There is
bike rental ($5 per hour).
Excursions were ordered from Anex-tour (guide Natasha and Mohammed, there are no complaints against them). We went to Luxor ($75, in fact, the reason for choosing Hurghada instead of Sharm) and rode quad bikes ($30 for 3 hours). A sightseeing tour of Hurghada is actually a trip to its shops. When buying oils, make sure that you are poured exactly the oil that you have tried.
Tourists recommend an excursion to El Gouna ($ 45 for a whole day of experiences)
In general, we are very satisfied with the rest, despite the winter, we swam, sunbathed and it was not hot in Luxor.
The hotel deserves a solid four stars and is designed for families with children.
