To be honest, I just don't have the words to describe my holiday. Excellent, excellent, perfect, chic. . everything is not right. Perhaps there is no such word to adequately describe my impressions.
To begin with, this is the sixth time abroad, and the second time in Egypt, so there is something to compare with. We flew with Tez Tour. We arrived at 9 pm. Passport control, visa, luggage - everything was received very quickly. Everything about everything took no more than 40 minutes. We got out, the guides met us and escorted us to the bus. Buses are huge, comfortable and air conditioned. Riding in these is a real pleasure. It took 15-20 minutes to get to the hotel. We were also settled fairly quickly. Such a moment: some say that you don’t need to put money in your passport, and that’s good. So, we put 10 dollars in our passport and they gave us the number 2110, that is, it is located approximately in the middle, and not far from the water park. And those who did not lay down money were given numbers for 4 *** and 5 ***, that is, very far away and near the fence. So it's up to you. The money is not big, but the convenience is significant. Wear bracelets. Adults are green, and children are purple.
To say that the territory is big is to say nothing. She's just huge! We could not get around it all in 9 days. The territory is very well-groomed, everywhere there are trees, bushes, flowers. Everything is green and looks very nice. Gardeners separately 5+!

The hotel has 6 restaurants and about 6 bars. The restaurants are all different, that is, in one the food is more European (Medditeranen), in another oriental (Tagine), in the third Asian (Asian Plant), etc. I do not agree with those who say that the food is very monotonous. Not true! Every day the food is different. And if you also go to different restaurants, then in general there is a solid variety. We preferred to eat in the very first one, where the food is more European. For lunch and dinner, there are ALWAYS meat, chicken, and fish in various forms. Seafood is also common. Side dishes, salads do not count! There are always a lot of pastries and desserts, and just heaps of fruits! What we just didn’t eat: bananas, apples, oranges, tangerines, grapes, persimmons, figs, melons and much more. For breakfast there were always toasts, omelettes, fruits, yogurts, breakfast cereals, only 15 types of puffs, probably! We were always full and satisfied : D This is probably the only hotel where you can take food out of the restaurant, and moreover, there are special plastic containers for this. And most importantly, neither we, nor our acquaintances, nor anyone else had an upset stomach. And after talking with people from other hotels, it turned out that this is quite a common thing and every second, excuse me, has diarrhea.
The rooms are huge and very comfortable. In fact, one room is designed for 4 people. There were two of us in the room (my mother and I), so we had 2 single beds and plus 2 more single beds behind the wall. As for furniture, everything is as usual: a wardrobe, a safe (free of charge), a dressing table, a mirror, a pouffe, a TV (a panel on the wall, 3 Russian channels), beds, a bedside table, a telephone, 2 small tables, a carpet on the floor, a sink in the bathroom, respectively. , mirror, hairdryer, toilet, and shower. Not a bath, but a shower! Since we lived on the ground floor, we did not have a balcony, but a small terrace, from which 2 steps and you are in the pool. In general, it is arranged in such a way that a pool is made and houses around it, again a pool and again houses. And the whole territory is so arranged. Very comfortably.
The water park is very good, considered the best in Hurghada. There are about 20 slides for adults and about the same number for children. To be honest, I just didn’t get out of the slides) The water park is open from 10 am to 5 pm. You can ride both on cheesecakes (inflatable circles) and on rugs. On each slide there is a lifeguard, if you can call it that, a guy in a red T-shirt and helps you sit down and slide correctly. They also take care of security. Very nice guys
There is a bus to the beach, every 20 minutes, 5 minutes and you are there. The sea is good, clean enough, sometimes there are small corals, so it's best to swim in special slippers (5-7 bucks in the nearest shop). There were always enough sunbeds, never had a problem with this. There is a bar on the beach, from 10 o'clock only drinks, and from 12 also food.
We went on 2 excursions - to Luxor and on a motorcycle safari. Tours were very good!

It takes about 5 hours to get to Luxor, we left at 4.30 in the morning. I want to say that the buses are large and very comfortable, and therefore the road did not seem tiring. We were very lucky with the guide, he is an Egyptologist and speaks almost perfect Russian. All the way he told us about the culture of Egypt, about traditions, economy, politics, education, about the Bedouins and other very interesting things about the country. In Luxor itself, we visited several temples (the city of the living), visited the tombs of the pharaohs (the city of the dead), had a short walk along the Nile, stopped by the papyrus and basalt museum. We arrived back at the hotel at 11pm. We liked everything very much. We are delighted with the motorcycle safari!
It is impossible not to note the work of guides in the hotel. Almost at any time you can find them and address with your requests or problems. Always willing to help and explain everything. They speak perfect Russian. Special thanks to Olga and Amr for their patience and understanding. In general, the service at the hotel was excellent.
How long I did not think, could not find any cons.
The rest was just like in a fairy tale, the days flew by unnoticed. To be honest, I sobbed when I had to leave. I recommend this hotel to everyone, the rest is unforgettable.
