Hello! Here comes the review. . .
Rested in the period from 05/18/2010 - 05/29/2010.
Well, I’ll start “for health”, and finish, as they say, “for peace”....
We arrived at the hotel at about 11 o'clock local time, I immediately went to the reception and started a discussion with Ahmed (except for him, no one in Russian "belmesil"), dialogue:
Me: Hello… Ahmed, I would like to get a number!?
He: You're good or whatever.
Me: Good, of course, closer to the sea and quieter!
He: There are such numbers…. (and made the eyes of a hungry yard dog, and there was nothing left for me to do but show him a bone in the form of $ 20)
Immediately after this conversation, we (me, wife and 2 children) were put on “allclusive” bracelets and said that we can already abuse it....I didn’t argue much and attacked the bartender with a request: 2 whiskey with cola and aysss (because it’s hot).

After 1.5 hours of sitting in the hotel lobby (I don’t consider this a minus, because check-in in all hotels after 15 hours) we received the keys to room 1818 (building 18).
Rooms: Standard rooms, clean, tidy without frills (we don't care, we come to rest, not sit in the room). Last year we rested in Turkey "Majestic" the rooms are the same, although 5 *. And those who write that they didn’t clean our room... it was dirty, etc..... people, why are you abroad for the first time? $ 1 for tea and you have a perfectly cleaned room, we were made of cobra towels, the children liked it. DON'T CLICK, it's only 30 rubles. per day (they have a salary of 10-15 pounds per day, this is 80-120 rubles, if they plow for 30 days, then this is $ 100-150 per month).
Territory: good, a lot of greenery, which is looked after 24 hours a day. Also on the territory in cages: birds, rabbits (daughter ran to feed them every day after dinner), turtles.
Beach, Sea: To the sea, if already quite lazy gait, 1 minute…. there are a lot of sun loungers (but Russian tourists, apparently grown in the USSR, come to the beach by 6 in the morning to take a seat (throw a towel on a sun lounger) - SHAME....they really look at them as savages). As for the sea, I am delighted....The Red Sea is super (the Black and Mediterranean Seas nervously smoke on the sidelines) we even saw a stingray near the shore. So far, everything is on the beach... continue to read in the "for the rest" section.
Animation Entertainment: well, what can I say?....well, they entertain as they can... they try to give out some shows 3-4 times a week, in short, normul! There were 2 Russian animator girls Alyona and Olga, so they are great, but they left this hotel on 05/31/10 and said that they didn’t come here anymore!
Food: The food is good, no complaints as such. Briefly about the menu:
Breakfast: Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, all kinds of pastries, yoghurts, toast and something else... normal.
Lunch: I don’t eat mashed soups, but they are there....meat, fish, chicken, pasta, potatoes, etc. - an account.

Dinner: I don’t eat mashed soups, but they are there....meat, fish, chicken, liver, pasta, potatoes, stewed vegetables, etc. on the street they cook and fry pizza, fish, kebab and liver on skewers (delicious) and all this on coals... fruits: watermelon, melon, oranges, apricots, apples, bananas. - Account.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner, always vegetables, for dinner they always prepared some kind of exclusive dish....we had: 1 time crabs and 1 time mussels (this is what I especially remember).
Well, you can’t say anything about baking, it’s just gorgeous there!
You can also add about food....The food is all spicy (chili peppers, etc. ), I will not attribute this fact to the minuses, because. this is national food and it's all like that! So take care of your stomachs and be careful when choosing dishes!
Well, now we have smoothly approached the minuses "for peace"!
Rooms: We lived on the 2nd floor (there are 3-storey bungalow-type buildings), and so above us lived “people” who, upon arrival, managed to melt a chocolate egg, tsuki, and through our wonderful room a terrible migration of ants began to reach them on 3rd floor…. Small, black and bite painfully....At the first request, a “chubrik” came running and filled our room with some kind of rubbish, and these creatures changed their migration path to the balcony…. Not nice!
Beach, sea: Well, this is finally a rare disgrace....The width of the "normal" beach strip (sand + fine gravel) is 10 meters; after 10 meters, compressed sand (asphalt density) begins with smeared sand (you can’t call it “Smeared” otherwise) well, this is not even half the trouble, the main trouble is boulders (large stones) in the sea....you pass approximately 1-1.5 m from the shore and then they, very unpleasant, twist your leg twice. Fortunately, someone (1 person) wrote about the entrance to the sea in the reviews, and we grabbed boats from the house to enter the sea... only for this minus 1 * from the hotel.
Bars, all-inclusive: I’ll say right away that we would have removed 1 more “star” for this, and now in more detail:

Bar on the beach: no one “belmesit” in Russian, they pour alcohol, juices, tea, coffee, etc. into some plastic cups of 50-75 mg, it is terribly uncomfortable, and it is not very pleasant to drink from them. We smoothly move to the bar at the reception "Lobby Bar", well, everything seems to be fine there, but 4-5 days before departure, the barmaid (a very unpleasant lady) began to somehow inadequately respond to my requests, for example:
Me: Hello, 2 whiskey colas (or 2 beers)!
She: two? Why two? One is needed!
Me: (dazed, but still raising my hand with the bracelet) Look. . . "all-clear"?
She: Ess!
Me: Then pour it and don't be stupid! (offended... yes, and FSUs)
And so every day....Rush, tsuko!
Yes, here's another thing, it's infuriating that they have a box / box / jar for tips on every corner and they pour something for you and look at you then at this thing for alms!! ! I don’t like beggars....and I want to say: go to work! …. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t thank them... I did it at will or when they did something for my children (Cocktails, ice cream, etc. )
And the most “priest” is that there “allclusive” is valid until 22:00, after which you have to buy everything for pounds or bucks....Everyone, with-everyone, from 21-30 blow up to the bar and start: I have whiskey, cola - 10 pieces, beer - 20 pieces, etc. , etc.....You feel wild. . . And the desire to yell: I was born in the USSR in the Prohibition, LET'S PLUM!
Shops, souvenirs: Yes, about souvenirs. If you leave the hotel and go to the left, then after 7-10 minutes of walking, there is a shopping center "Cleopatra", there are fixed prices. You can orient yourself there, and then go to bargain. But the advantage in this center is that no one grabs you by the hand and doesn’t curse after you if you didn’t go to them! And the prices there are very reasonable, we even overpaid somewhere when bargaining.

Departure from the hotel: We were lucky with the departure, we were picked up at 8 am from the hotel after breakfast, but our friends were not lucky..... As everyone knows, rooms in all hotels must be rented before 12 noon and wait until your tour operator homeland. In this hotel, immediately after handing over the keys, bracelets are cut off from you and you can..... just drink water from the cooler, and even then the bartenders look at you as if you stole! But we didn’t let our (Russians) die of lack of alcohol or food, they brought and sat with them (well, like we drink and eat ourselves).
Py. Sy. : Why do I say that we are lucky? And here's why: People were evicted from their rooms at 12 o'clock, and the tour operator came for them (3 couples left) 1.21-00.2) 23-40.3) 04-00 (it’s more a pity for these, this is a woman with 2 granddaughters... they sat at the reception for more than 12 hours) (In this case, Pegasus did not take care of the tourists).
That is, after the delivery of the room, you are no longer a welcome guest, but a mob!
In principle, it seems like everything..... I will not recommend anything to anyone, decide for yourself!
But we, the next five years, do not set a foot in the city of Hurghada!
Good luck to everyone and enjoy your holiday!
Py. Sy . : I liked the excursion from Pegasus "Fun Walk" I highly recommend, briefly: Boat - fishing - coral reef - Paradise Island - fishing - boat (for 2 adults and 2 children $ 120) well, fed + show on the boat …. In general, cool!
