HOTEL and CLOSE. Exit from the hotel directly to Sheraton Street, many shops, supermarkets, pharmacies. The Hurgada Marina promenade is located 1 km to the right from the hotel. 200 meters. , there is also a large bowl and a fish market nearby - you can cook bought shrimp right there, etc. e. To the left side of the hotel 200 meters Metro supermarket (Metro) and Abu Ashara supermarket (Abu Ashara) are cheaper.

The BEACH is gently sloping sandy with clean clear water. Almost no fish, no corals. The difference in air and water temperature (+42, +24) is exactly half, so there was a feeling of cold, it was hard to breathe, and it was freezing to swim. Previously, never sweated in Egypt, but now it's just hell.
The pier of the neighboring Minamark Beach Resort 4 * is closed for our guests, and you can’t swim from the yacht pier, so entering the sea is only from the shore. Good for kids and non-swimmers.

SLIDES there are 4 like adults, but not very high, the pool is clean.

WI-FI in the lobby bar was from 9 am to 11 pm.
00, the connection is very weak and it was possible to communicate only via Viber correspondence, the login and password were given to the reception for free. There is also a paid one, but it’s more profitable to buy a SIM card with 1 or 2 GB local from $ 5 to $ 10 in any mobile salon there are a lot of them, they say Orange is better.
The TERRITORY is well-groomed, the first line, many different trees - banana, mango, pomegranate, tangerine and flowering. The buildings are built in steps, balconies overlook the pool. On the territory there are 3 cages with parrots.
The ROOM was first given in the 16th building near the water park, it is in the middle between the reception and the sea, we did not like it on the first floor without a balcony and the air conditioner did not work, then they offered it in the 12th building No. 1215 on the 2nd floor, large with a large balcony where there were 2 chairs and a table and the most close to the restaurant and the city - we really liked it, everything worked. Bedding is very red, towels 2 per person are good + 1 on the floor. The furniture, although a little old, but they arranged for us, 2 mirrored cabinets with 9 trempels and a safe in the closet.
TV, refrigerator, telephone and several bedside tables.
A bathroom with a huge mirror, a countertop, a bathroom with a removable shower, the water was both cold and hot, and the pressure was always excellent.
Cleaning in the room, as often in Egypt, the middle is good and no one ever cleans the corners, there was no dust in the closet. (knowing about cleaning, I took my old towel for cleaning there and left it).

NUTRITION normal, given the crisis. The breakfasts are good. Fish was every lunch and dinner, beef meat mostly, chicken only 2 times a week. Fresh vegetables, orange fruit, banana, date, and melon salad. There was a lot of sweets, but I don’t eat cakes, and the food for the week was 3 days, and a couple of jelly.

In the evening there was always pizza in the oven and something on the barbecue - more often beef sausages. There was nothing spicy or spicy.
There was a coffee machine in the lobby bar and Turkish coffee was also prepared.
Alcohol is a large selection of about 9 types and the fortress is present, they made alcohol and milk cocktails.
In general, we had enough food, but we drank pancreatin at lunch and in the evening to relieve the heaviness of the stomach. There were no poisonings.
EXCURSIONS were offered on the beach, we did not plan anything on this trip.
Themselves traveled by minibuses from the street. Sheraton in Senzo Mall, travel 2.50 pounds and about 20 minutes.
Near the supermarket Metro there is a special bus stop from Senzo Mall every half hour.
SHOPPING HOME at the moment we were not interested in anything, rested in Egypt about 10 times. We bought some medicines that are not available in Ukraine (Lotion Calamyl-D, Calamyl-D for any rashes and sunburns 3 pounds 120 ml, Colchicine, Colchicine for gouty arthritis 50 pounds 100 tabl), the best prices in the network of Egyptian pharmacies "El Ezabi" (EL-Ezaby Pharmacy) there is such a pharmacy in Senzo Mall. The quality of the drugs and the price are great! I like pomegranate sauce but glass bottle.
There was an ANNIMATATION, three girls and a guy tried, but few people wanted to do exercises and play anything.
Once we were taken to a disco in another hotel for free, because there is no one to do a disco for. Every evening they held either karaoke, or a comedy club, or a belly dance and tanura (dance with skirts). They worked well with children, darts, drawings, etc.
The TOUR was taken from Pegas Touristik there, the flight was delayed for 3 hours, the first day was missed at the hotel at one in the morning, they immediately settled in, they didn’t give food, although the hotel should work on the 24 HOURS AI system. Departure from the hotel was at 19.20, the room was vacated at 12.00 they gave breakfast and lunch and no dinner, back on time, MAO (MAU) air carrier Boeing there, back Windrose Airbus 321.

At the moment, topless Czechs, Belarusians, Arabs and Ukrainians were resting in the hotel, 25% of the rooms are occupied. Really empty, about 35 people in total in the hotel vacationers. Nearby Regina Resort 4 * is closed, and Minamark Beach Resort 4 * has more tourists and is livelier somehow.
Whether we still want to rest in Egypt, well, I can’t say for sure, because it’s also interesting in other countries where we beat and still want something new.
HOTEL RECOMMENDED!
The price-quality ratio (the cheapest tour was taken, even cheaper than 3 *) is very good, the first line, the city, the slides, the green area. But don't expect anything super service, special cleanliness, gourmet food and variety - this is Egypt and they are also in crisis now!
Have a good holiday everyone! )))
