Отличный отдых Great stay

Rested from 13 to 20 September 2010. I'll start with the check-in: We arrived at the hotel at 5 pm, filled out the questionnaire, within 10 minutes. got hotel wristbands and bungalow room keys. The location of the house was ideal, near the pool, restaurant, beach, beautiful, green, well-groomed territory. I note they settled us there without any $ 10-20, as many write. Although, to be honest, there are houses in a separate part of the hotel, standing in a desert area, with virtually no greenery, they are far from the sea and the restaurant. Standard room, nothing more: two beds, wardrobe, TV (only two Russian channels), air conditioning, refrigerator, plus a small sofa at the entrance. There were no problems with cleaning, they cleaned every day, left the maid for $ 1. We did not use the safe at the reception at our own risk, we repeatedly left a camera, camera and other valuables in the room, fortunately everything remained in place.
BEACH: very large and sandy. No problems with entering the sea. The sea is clean, be sure to take a mask. Also, a rarity for Hurghada, on the territory of the beach there are corrals, on which you were lucky to see different fish, sea urchins, stingray, squid, etc. The sunbeds on the beach are wooden, near the pool are plastic, absolutely in good condition. If you want to lie on the beach under an umbrella, closer to the sea and the beach bar, then get up early, because Russian grandparents (mostly) used to getting up at 6:30, take all the trump places. On the beach there is a rental of catamarans for $10. Be sure to take and swim to the spit, which is located about 400m from the shore. There are a lot of corrals and azure-colored water, in general it is beautiful.
FOOD: the food was excellent, from 8:00 to 11:30 breakfast, mostly scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals with milk, various salads, cheese, plus a bunch of different sweet pastries. Lunch from 13:00 to 15:00, there is a larger choice: fried squid, chicken, pork, fish (very tasty), potatoes, vermicelli, soups... Dinner from 19:00 to 22:00, everything was served for lunch plus sometimes pampered with seafood, namely: crabs cooked on a fire and mussels. They have obvious problems with fruits, since they are all kind of greenish, this applies to melons, oranges and especially grapes. The restaurant is very cozy, divided into two parts for smokers and non-smokers. There is also a terrace overlooking the sea, it is especially good to dine by candlelight there. As for the bar, from sweet water it is Miranda, sevenap and Pepsi, and from alcohol - local drinks (not very), though the beer is not bad. Juice for bottling from the machines is a real UPI. You can not take drinks in bottles with you, only in cups. The staff is absolutely adequate: polite, friendly, sometimes they joke. Only administrators and guides speak Russian, the rest of the staff understands English without any problems.

ENTERTAINMENT: morning exercises, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, football, plus in the evening different performances of animators in the amphitheater, disco, competitions, etc.
TERRITORY: all greenery: palm trees, flowers, bushes, grass, well-groomed paths, mainly located in the central part of the hotel, near the restaurant and reception. At night, everything is well illuminated. On the outskirts of the territory of the hotel, of course, it is deserted, one sand and blocks of stones, nothing to see. there is also a supermarket with adequate prices, for example 1l. Pepsi costs $1.50. There are souvenir shops.
TOURISTS: mostly Russians (a separate topic for conversation), and there were also Slovaks, Poles, Italians and Germans. Having rested side by side with the Russians, it became clear why they are so disliked everywhere. They are constantly dissatisfied with something: sometimes the sea is very salty, sometimes it’s too hot outside, sometimes a lizard the size of a little finger ran past the front door of the house, sometimes they don’t like that all the staff, without exception, do not speak Russian, sometimes water bottles are not allowed. When they get drunk, the staff begin to be rude, but they drink almost every day. In short, their arrogance and pathos are already sickening. Although Russian Russian strife. For some reason, Poles, Italians, Slovaks, Germans have absolutely no pretensions to rest, always smiling, and communicate in broken English, everyone understands them. By the way, a pleasant unexpected fact, the local staff of Ukrainians and Russians fundamentally shares, which cannot but rejoice. And not like before - all Russians.
In general, everything was very LIKE.
