We arrived at dinner, settled very quickly, they gave room 1211, it was very fortunate that the window overlooked the neighboring empty abandoned Sultan Beach hotel - it was quiet.

The hotel is decent, outwardly there is no devastation, they clean, wash, trim the bushes - water it. The territory is small, crowded, there is nowhere to walk, two piers helped out.

There are no comments to the number, everything works. Cons - poor soundproofing, absolutely everything was heard from the corridor, and a very small safe. Even a small laptop or tablet will not fit. Terrible pillows!! ! The air conditioner hums like everywhere else.

There is a small water park - five slides in one pool and one big one in a separate one. A family-type slide with a trick, whoever rode it will understand, laughed heartily.


The food is the most common Egyptian - a lot of fried chicken, fish, pancakes and omelettes for breakfast, three soups for lunch, salads, cheeses, grated boiled chickpeas (not hummus! ). In the morning, every other day there was delicious rice porridge, the next day - disgusting.
It gives off burnt milk, then almost sour. Apparently, it depends on the change of cooks. There is no oatmeal, only flakes filled with milk - I tried it twice, both times the milk was already sour, as it seemed that it had not been boiled. A lot of sweets, but baklava - sparingly, and dismantled quickly. Who did not have time - he was late. Often took food from the children's table.

A big and fat plus - you can go to a la carte restaurants as much as you want, we went every evening, and there is seafood, and decent bottled wine, canned beer (poured into a glass). It's not a pity to leave a tip. The most liked - Asian and Italian, Greek is worse. They didn’t go to Egyptian, according to the experience of past trips to Sunrise hotels - very fatty and spicy food, pepper is poured generously everywhere.

The hotel is family, a lot of children in the restaurant run underfoot, eye to eye.

The main contingent - Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, Belarusians, Russians, less - Czechs, Romanians, Bulgarians.
Good beach towels, the exchange is already working normally, they are issued in laundry bags.

Very small beach, even a small beach. The piers and platforms on the pier were made with sunbeds. From these platforms, the descent into the water is by stairs.

Great animation team. The guys are working hard, thanks to them. In the evening every day there was some kind of activity, we only went to the fakir show, but the impressions are contradictory. Not all tricks are pleasant, a couple of times I shuddered from what I saw.

Twice I saw a foam party on the beach. I do not really understand the desire to wallow in foam and sand, and the foam with a sharp chemical smell is clearly not from baby soap. But everyone has different tastes, judging by the number of participants - many norms.

I pestered a lot on the beach, the red flag does not save, anyway, every day they climb with offers.


On the first night, the air conditioner was junk, in the morning they asked for help, everything was done quickly, there were no more problems.
We went to the city on the Sheraton, a taxi was ordered two or three times cheaper than a hotel one via Uber local using a local phone number, we took a SIM card for the Internet. They did not hope for a hotel, and the Internet for work and study needed a constantly high-quality one. The store "House of Cotton Karkusha" has deteriorated, in my opinion, and pharmacies in the city are cheaper than near the hotel, which is natural.

Near the hotel there are two supermarkets where they bought mangoes, and one market-type layout. Prices per kg are about the same everywhere, ripe immediately eat 50 pounds, green home - 25-30, but you can bargain with a private trader.

Near the shops opposite the hotel, sellers are on guard, there are different types - some of them are very annoying. They pour out a bunch of 4-5 men from the store, make a noise, it is extremely unpleasant, they don’t touch their hands, but surround them, shouting in the face “why are you gloomy, smile”, “why are you silent”, “come in to see” - they just stopped walking past.
There are none on the side of the hotel, we go to the supermarket and directly cross the road, bypassing all these types.

A little further to the left of the hotel there is a good place for a walk - Hurghada Promenade, modern sculptures, shops, clean, decent public. And the policeman is walking : ))

Many thanks to TUI Levoberezhnaya (Kyiv) and Veronika Tkachenko personally for organizing the trip.
See you soon, Egypt!
