Vacationing with my husband and girlfriend. It's hard for me to claim objectivity - I often travel abroad for work and I know what a normal European service is. I will say right away and will not open a new one: Egypt is not Europe. It is a fact. Egypt is the sea, the pyramids, the tombs, the sun. All.
We lived in a bungalow, a good room, poor, but in principle clean. Although the mattress is foam rubber, the towels are grayish, and the air conditioner did not warm. Although a friend warmed. Rumserivs mediocre, left a pound, sort of cleaned up, didn’t leave a bag of shampoo in the shower for 2 days. knock, bastards, to the point of numbness, you speak in a normal tone, come in later, knock further, bark, they will immediately settle down. Well, I sleep at 9 in the morning, there is such a weakness, I don’t need to clean my fucking room. no, they will break until you shout. But nothing was stolen from the room, neither from us nor from the girl. I put an open bottle of tequila in the freezer - they touched one hundred percent, because it was wrong, they diluted it,
spat, I don’t know, but there is such a thing.

The food is poor for me, my husband liked it, as he is a fan of fried potatoes, and they gave it all the time there. Very salty (objectively), soups are strange and, in my understanding, inedible, seafood-0, they gave crabs once, rarely tangerines from fruits and all the time guava, funny fruits suitable for fresh juices, but so burst them, thank you....Fish and meat spoil. All the same, I want fruit in the dining room and normal fish and cheese.
I know that I’m spoiled for normal buffets, and therefore I didn’t bother with this item at first, knowing that it’s rare where in Egypt they cook deliciously, although I really wanted soup.
Local alcoholic drinks are CRAP, buy a supply in Duty, and "hammer" the fact that you theoretically paid for alcohol in all-inclusive. You will be healthier. I’m fine, but my fellow travelers got sick, and obviously not in quantity, since you can’t physically drink a lot of this vodka there. Gin, rum, vodka,
brandy - different color - one taste. You can drink beer. Juices are powder, the tongue is then the corresponding color. Do not give children, drink it yourself, but do not lament that you want fresh juice, fresh juice separately for money.
Attitude - I didn't like it as my husband said "understand the meaning of the crusades and the Israelites". Obsession turns into arrogance. If you try to be polite with them, they don’t understand the boundaries, if you lay siege, it’s normal right away. but this is all Egypt, and the hotel is no exception.
The beach is good, clean, the animation is meager, the pool is not heated, the dishes are WASHED BAD, THERE ARE DRIED PIECES ON THE FORKS.
But in general, remember that we are a source of income for them, and with a bad reputation (it’s better to speak English, they don’t like and respect Russians), so they will bug and sell everywhere and everything. Their tea is 1 pound, ours is 5.
Advice - write down on a piece of paper or remember the numbers, the simple words "tea, coffee" and without asking how much it costs, let's give the amount without change.
Minibus - to Hurghada 2 pounds as tourists (ask for more, send to the garden, they generally have a sticker on the glass 1 pound fare).

Excursions to Luxor and Cairo / from Pegasus / - of course, go, you go to Egypt to see the pyramids and temples. But all the guides are sitting on a percentage of "the real store of the real papyrus/statues/gold/other crap" and you will spend most of your precious, paid 70 ye per trip, time buying this crap. And to go at this time to look at something, figurines, the doctor said to the morgue, which means to the morgue. Guides tryndya that faster, faster, we have little time, and we run around the huge temple of Karnak in 25 minutes, but there is time for this x"", although all this is bought wherever you want and cheaper than where they lead. Whether this remark refers to a review of the hotel or to the general system of excursion services, I don’t know, but I am writing what we had.
They tell the same thing (we went every other day, the guides are different,
but the words are identical), we laughed. in general, it’s a pity for them - such a majestic past and such an inability to preserve it (around the pyramids of garbage on the second Cheop), complain that they live poorly, because there are many of them. The most interesting explanation ever heard.
To go to Lilyland or not, I definitely won’t go, to advise, rather no than yes. For me, the main thing is to see the Red Sea and the pyramids - I got it, got a tan, my husband was not on vacation for 1.5 years and did not leave Ukraine - he rested, saw Giza, arrived with a charge of vivacity, . We would have had a better rest for the same money, I'm not sure. For the big ones, of course.
advice -save more and go to Thailand. Too windy in Hurghada in January. -)))
have a rest everybody!!!!! !
