Decent hotel, we went on the recommendation of friends who had already been there.

Food without any frills, but this was not expected. Delicious and simple. Very few fruits, cut oranges and lemons, dates, melon (tasteless). Desserts and grilled dishes were added for dinners, which pleasantly diversified the menu. The a la carte restaurant was nothing special, but there was bottled wine. With draft in the main restaurant, of course, can not be compared.

The room was cleaned well, but for some reason at an inconvenient time - at two o'clock in the afternoon. Or was it like that in our building? We lived in room 1419.

Transfer - no problem.



Cons: There are no walking paths. It was scary to walk along the one behind the outermost buildings in the evening. Deserted. Behind the road is a dark wasteland, so we had to cut circles around the indoor pools.



I read in a previous review that we were not the first to face the problem that the bracelets were put on only at 10 am, when breakfast was over.

And we arrived at 6-25 in the morning, and were on the road all night. I ask for a bracelet - they say, only after 10-00, because we are not allowed to have breakfast on the day of arrival. Later I read in the issued memo - bracelets are put on immediately upon arrival. What a slut! I have never encountered such a thing, nowhere, I didn’t even think to clarify this moment in a travel agency. Thanks for the science!



I recommend the hotel for a very relaxing holiday, with children it is better to go to other places (Jungle Aqua Park, for example, in the same Hurghada).



And bed linen is changed on request, there is a memo in the room for this case - you just need to put the card on the pillow.



I didn’t abuse the tip, I left it twice in a week.



On excursions - thanks to the Join Up hotel guide, Rede bought into the promises of unearthly bliss when traveling on the Nautilus yacht. People, do not believe! THIS IS BREAKING!
Several events were promised during the trip, and the restaurant on the yacht was said to be better than the best fish restaurant in Hurghada. So what's the truth - yes, there is a lower deck with panoramic windows. Minutes twenty looked in this window. Yes, we snorkeled around the reef for an hour. There was no swimming with dolphins, and a back massage (they promised half an hour! They said ten times that it was included in the price of the trip) was five minutes, and at the same time the masseur constantly hissed in the ear: “You won’t forget about the gift for me, yes? " and tried to persuade everyone to massage the hands and feet - in short, for a fee. Lunch - well, that's no comment at all. A bland fish cream soup (one starch), a slice of fried tuna, the ubiquitous french fries, a couple of salads and a couple of desserts.

The disgrace is complete. All this took six hours of my life. And 65 bucks per person.
In short, if you want to snorkel in the open sea, this is exactly the kind of excursion you are looking for, and it is shorter in time and cheaper!




And one more moment, scrupulous and piquant. It seems that the hotel is in demand among European gays - I counted five couples at the same time, some are definitely Germans, I don’t presume to judge the rest - I didn’t hear them speak. If someone categorically does not accept such a relationship - well, you have been warned. No, they did not allow themselves obvious public manifestations of relations, but to see how two men walk along the beach, smear each other with sunscreen or coo at dinner - this is a picture ...



The most important thing is the wonderful sea, and we enjoyed it completely, for which we thank Egypt and Join Up!
