We were together in January 2017. I wanted to write right away, but as often happens, I got together just now. It is very strange that someone liked the hotel. I travel a lot. Traveled half the world, so there is something to compare. I have been to Egypt three times. So:
1. Settled quickly, but with a view of the burning trash in a nearby wasteland. (On Google Map, you can see that there is a wasteland next to the hotel. ) It is clear that 10 bucks immediately solved the issue, but we had to wait half a day until the room was cleaned. But this is a trifle.
2. Half of the hotel is not completed and is not in operation (the one on the left in their official photo). The building has been mothballed until better times. Rest next to the unfinished building, of course, does not add comfort. There is very little greenery and trees. The hotel does not look like a blooming garden at all!
3. The water in the "heated" pool was not heated. Swimming was only possible after a good drink.
4. The water in the sea was warmer than in the pool, BUT you can swim only from a pier 100 meters long. It takes a long time to go : (. There is a coral with fish, but not beautiful (who understands what I mean). if the tide is in. If the tide is low, there is no water at all.
5. Animations - zero, except for 10 minutes of aqua aerobics in the pool for several people. Nothing to do in the evening either.
6. Alcohol - as in all hotels in Egypt with a simple all-inclusive. Beer of only one sort - Pharaoh.
7. Hotel guide Mukhamed is a crook, which I have never met or seen. Don't believe anything he says and certainly don't buy anything. The same excursions in any agency will be 3 times cheaper. Free transfer to Hurghada by car is, of course, an ordinary shopping tour.
8. I am not picky about food. Maybe that's why it seemed to me that the food was not bad, as far as the budget allowed the chef of the restaurant. Seafood was not. Only once defrosted fillet of hake-type fish and once small river fish. From fruits: bananas, orange, grapefruit, guafa, tangerine, green melon. Claimed at 16 o'clock ice cream was only 1 time.
9. Wi-Fi is available only in the lobby for $10. per day. There are no rooms and never have been.
10. The rooms were cleaned normally. Every day.
11. The staff is not rude and not familiar, especially if you speak English. Doesn't ask for money.
12. The hotel is mostly Germans and Dutch. A few Ukrainians and Belarusians. Almost no Russians. At the end, a crowd of Chinese arrived. Judging by the restaurant and the number of people on the street - the hotel is half empty. 30-40% full. And it affects everything.
13. Outside the hotel - the Egyptians, brutalized by the "crisis". They call the crisis the absence of Russian tourists and, accordingly, work and money. All construction work has stopped. Many hotels have closed, the rest are 10-20% full.
Hotel beaches are empty, in Hurghada there are almost no tourists on the streets.
For half a year, 100% inflation. All in all, a sad sight! Little in common with the Egypt that was : (
My advice: if Egypt, then look for well-known chain hotels that keep the quality of service at the level. This hotel is not worth going to. Unless for nothing, that would be a week to thump the local liquor.
