Holidays at Club Calimera Hurgada!
Rested in this hotel 2 times (1 time in 2010). So that there is an opportunity to evaluate the trends of this hotel.
Meeting at the airport. We went through Pegasus. We went through customs very quickly and got our luggage. A representative of Pegasus met at the exit of the airport and had to wait in the sun for 15 minutes for all vacationers who had not yet gone through customs. Imagine, we arrived at 15:00, it was hot. For that, having met everyone, they quickly placed tourists on buses. We were traveling in a small bus and we stopped at only 1 hotel to the Club Calimera Hurgada hotel.
Settlement. The Pegasus guide told us that it was not possible to drive up to the hotel porch, we walked with our suitcases to the hotel about 200-300 meters. A trifle, but not nice! Knowing that without $ 20 they would give no room, they immediately put a tip in their passports. Room 401. Second floor, normal.

Nutrition. The food upset. If last year you could eat at any time, now everything is on schedule:
07:00-10:00 - breakfast Karnak
10:00-11:00 - coffee, tea Beach
12:30-14:30 - lunch Karnak, Beach
15:30-17:00 - coffee, tea Beach
18:30-21:30 - Karnak dinner
In addition, diversity has become monotonous. The number of lines for food has increased. After eating (days 7), jams appeared in the corners of the mouth, which indicates the “cleanliness” of the dishes. In general, the food has become much worse!
Population. If last year there was a ratio of Germans and Russians of 9:1, this year the opposite is true. Previously, the hotel was classified as a hotel for elderly Germans, but now it is a kindergarten for Russian children, who all the time yell and yell, cry and cry ....There are also German children, but you can't hear them at all. Also there were resting Arabs, impudent and shameless.
Beach and sea. The beach is sandy, the sea is NO, NO AT ALL. Believe me, the maximum depth to the knee is at high tide, and when the tide is out, it is simply dry at a distance of 500 meters. Sunbeds Russians take from 6 am! So, if you want to lie down near the "sea", get up early in the morning and trot to the beach.
Animators. They are just smart. Do not strain, if you want - you participate, if you don't want - relax!
Animation in different languages. Previously, they were more engaged in children, but now the children are left to their own devices, as the parents are resting.

There are a number of points that may be helpful:
- be vigilant in the restaurant, and even better, before going to Club Calimera Hurgada, make an appointment with the dentist, because when eating in the canteen, you can’t say otherwise, eat salads very carefully, we didn’t find sand in them, sand is the norm, and small stones that can accidentally damage the teeth.

- hotel guide Rufina - unique. On the first day, she said to give her a tourist voucher when we refused to listen about excursions, because we already knew everything. She said to come the next day to pick up the voucher, but she was not there the next day or the next day. Therefore, if it is important for you to have a tourist voucher, make a copy before leaving for Club Calimera Hurgada.
- Russian tourists were generally surprised. To be everywhere, they take sunbeds both by the sea and by the pool.
For example, a family of 2 adults and 1 child on the beach in 2 places occupied sun loungers and another by the pool. Total 9 occupied places for three. Of course, there will not be enough places. Someone just needs to be humble! ! !
- immigrants from the USSR in the evenings on the beach thump so that then they are taken to their numbers, because they turn off on the beach, falling face down in the sand. COOL? !
- the locals go to the beach and by the pools and offer excursions that are cheaper than the guide, they also offer tattoos, pigtails, massage, etc. In general, for 14 days of rest, I just wanted to lie down and be silent, and not answer constant intrusive offers.
- there is a spice shop on the beach, if you go there, and there are Germans, you don’t even have to try to attract attention, you will be ignored, as the Germans will be given preference.
- Smoking is a ritual, a tradition, Germans smoke everywhere, mercilessly for their health and for the health of others.
- there is a dress code for men - trousers and a T-shirt must be worn for dinner.
- drinking water is available throughout the hotel, you can take it in unlimited quantities.
- air conditioning is individual, but very noisy, it's hard to fall asleep.
- Lots of lizards, especially in the evenings.
- swimming pools of different depths, including children's.
- Wristbands are not cut off during check-out.
- there are a lot of flies both on the beach and in the restaurant.
- on the beach along the sea, a camel and horses walk, ride everyone and shit for all vacationers without exception.
- Room cleaning is normal.
- Beach towels are changed three times a week.
- a huge green area, a botanical garden, beauty.

Summing up, I would like the Club Calimera Hurgada hotel not to degrade as it happened in 1 year.
