The hotel is good, strong 4, we can recommend it, we can repeat it again.
Now about the sea. We were satisfied with our beach holiday, the beach is good, sandy, there are plenty of sunbeds, there are also wind screens, sunbathing is comfortable. A gentle entry into the sea, sand, go to the right, there is also a beach, like a wild one, there are few people there. The water at first seems cold, already upset, but you get used to it quickly. There are fish, but on a sea trip, of course, the underwater world is richer and more beautiful. We were on Paradise Island, we liked it, after we went to Luxor, it was a mandatory program, from Sharm it was understood that it was only possible by plane, but expensive. The trip met all expectations, I really liked it, in addition to temples and tombs, there was a walk along the Nile and a banana island, this was included in the price. We even managed to save money, because we ordered from locals, in the reviews we met references to the guide MidoBikham, found it through a search engine and agreed, they were satisfied with him as the organizer.
I can’t objectively evaluate the animation, we didn’t participate particularly anywhere, but from the side there was a good impression. Evenings spent outside the hotel, walked around the city, were at the Marina. I liked the embankment, the entrance was through a frame with a metal detector, handbags were checked, no one pulls a buy-buy by the sleeve, a calm atmosphere, a walk, drink coffee, cafes stretch along the entire embankment. From the hotel to the embankment to go for about 15 minutes, paid $ 2 one way. We walked to the Carrefour supermarket, slowly 20 minutes from the hotel to the right, bought juice in packs, very tasty, within a dollar per liter (they didn’t like the juices in the hotel, they tasted like yupi, but these went with a bang)) We paid in pounds, but can be a card.
We are satisfied with the rest, I liked the hotel, I have no complaints about the staff, I’ll say more, the guys are great fellows, friendly, hospitable, they will clarify a hundred times whether everything is good with us)), in general, everyone is happy, bathed, tanned, rested. We will recommend the hotel.
We were 4 adults and one child. Settled at 14.00 in 2 rooms next to fulfill all our wishes . . The rooms comfortably have everything you need. The furniture was normal, not shabby, all plumbing worked properly, a new plasma TV hung on the wall. The air conditioner worked but rarely turned on (winter). There was a small fridge and safe. The windows were closed in the evening because mosquitoes and flies swooped in. The staff was polite and friendly. The cook went out into the hall and recommended the fish he had cooked. Our rooms were cleaned every day, always replenished with 2 bottles of water. Things were laid out in places and nothing was missing from us. We liked the food (a standard set for a normal four) every day there was something new on the menu (meat, fish cooked in different ways). There were guava dates, lance bananas and oranges. So everything was fine. Recently we were in Turkey Side in the top four, everything is much worse there. I will not repeat the previous reviews there, basically everything is truthfully described. But I did not like the Hurghada winter weather with winds. The sea is also not very good, broken corals are not alive, there are few fish in Sharm better. But in general, our company liked everything (2 beautiful territories), they were satisfied with the rest.
Got a piece of summer in winter. I recommend the hotel not very fussy.
SERVICE: The service and attitude of the staff was really good and quality. Every day they cleaned the room and left a bottle of clean water. The employees are polite, cultured, they know English and a little Russian.
TERRITORY: The hotel has two pools, but since it was already November, the water was cold in them, and the heating had not yet been turned on. The territory is beautiful, cozy and well-groomed. The hotel itself is normal.
FOOD: Excellent. Great variety of everything! There is always food! There is breakfast, lunch, dinner and a lot of intermediate snacks in between like pizza, french fries, buns, cakes. There are no shrimp, crabs, lobsters and other frills. Drinks are always available at the pool bar and at the two bars in the hotel for free. But the drinks are there anyway! Beautiful well-known and delicious cocktails will not be made here. They can only splash alcohol and some other garbage into soda. That's the whole cocktail. Of the alcohol there, only beer is normal, because it is purchased in bottles.
BEACH: The entrance to the sea is perfectly smooth, you don’t have to walk ankle-deep for a long time and you don’t have to go down from the pier to the depths. The beach is located in a kind of lagoon. To the right is a wilder beach where you can snorkel among the fish and corals. It is very interesting and most importantly free. Lots of sun loungers and wicker umbrellas. Employees constantly walk on the beach and clean cups, cigarette butts and other garbage.
ANIMATION: Here is the only negative. On the beach, water workouts and volleyball are also cool. But in the evening boredom. In one room they arrange a kind of concert, where everyone sits like spectators and looks at the belly dance, dance with umbrellas, dance with skirts... etc... In short, in the evening it is better to go shopping.
WEATHER: In November, it is already cool in the evening, you need to put on a blouse on top. It gets dark at 17:00, and from 18:00 you can not go into the sea and pools (in all of Egypt). The weather during the day is excellent, 30 degrees, but it feels like 24. It's very cool, you don't die from the heat, you don't sweat, but you feel pleasantly on vacation. Also in November, the winds are already walking, so sometimes it’s quite cold to climb out of the sea.
The hotel is partnered with the hotel across the street so you can also go in there and swim in the pool and ride the water slides. The hotel itself is located on a good cultivated tourist street with flower beds, lanterns, cafes and shops.
WARNING ADVICE: Do not buy excursions from your hotel guides. They triple the price. Search the Internet for local travel agencies and bargain with them. Do not settle for a free shopping trip from the hotel, you will be taken to where everything is three times more expensive. Just leave the hotel and go to the nearest shops, everything is cheap there.
Territory. Nice and tidy, cleaners work conscientiously, clean. There is a lot of greenery, a lot of flowering plants, a very pleasant atmosphere. Several pools, one with a panoramic view of the sea, I liked it, beautiful)). You can easily walk around the territory of the neighboring (across the road) Grand Plaza Resort hotel, and the guests of their hotel can use our beach. But even with all this, there were enough sunbeds and places on the beach for everyone.
Beach. I really liked it, although the lagoon is of a normal size, quite spacious, the sand is good, the entrance to the depth is smooth, the bottom is clean, no corals are needed, an excellent beach for children. Only now there are no beautiful fish near the shore, there is somewhere there, in the depths of the sea)), at the end of the beach there is a small reef, but there was a reason to go on a boat trip, see the fish there)). The beach is well equipped, there are wind screens, umbrellas. Beach towels are changed once a day. On the first day of rest, we got lost, handed over our towels, as we went for lunch, then we came after dinner and we approach this uncle, they say give out....Of course, he gave it away, but said that it was impossible, only once a day...
Nutrition. Pleased, did not even expect. True, there were no special delicacies, but all the food is fresh, tasty and there is a variety. Everyone chose for himself what he wants, the daughter always ate without problems and she liked it, especially desserts. Juices are not very good, most likely soluble powder, but there is a paid fresh. Coffee is free-instant, so-so, for the money there is a normal one. There was also French fries and pizza. In short, you can’t stay hungry, you constantly chew something somewhere))
Entertainment. The child never went to the kids club, she didn’t want to, but there are some entertainments for the children, the animation is not intrusive, which suited us perfectly, it’s not very interesting for us, but the guys were invited to aerobic exercises and evening programs. It seems they said that the disco is in the Resort, which is across the road. On the territory there are big chess, tennis, beach volleyball, whoever likes what, it is quite possible to have fun.
Leisure outside the hotel. Promenade area. You can walk around the city, walk to Cleopatra, there are fixed prices, cheaper than in small shops.
Internet. There is no free Wi-Fi, we knew this, so we bought a local Vodafone SIM card at the airport, it's cheaper than the Internet at the hotel and always in touch.
We had a wonderful rest, a worthy four, of course I recommend the hotel!
