Rested family, child 5 years. We were in Hurghada for the first time, we flew through Turtesse. I had to give 10 dollars, after which we were settled in a good room (500-600 are the best) on the first floor overlooking the central pool.
In general, the service is good, the staff is friendly, the room was cleaned every day, I advise you to leave 1 dollar or 2 to 5 pounds for the staff for cleaning the room, otherwise they will start walking: either change the curtains in the shower, then the towels in the room, sometimes they do small dirty tricks - tightly plug the water limiter in the washbasin or hide in the room exchange cards for which vacationers take towels (for the loss of a fine of 50 pounds), in the hope that they will be contacted for help.
The food was delicious, especially the desserts. There are always several types of meat (you need to look for it first), fish, fruits and vegetables, potatoes, rice, many salads, drinks, free normal local beer, red and white wine.

The hotel has a heated swimming pool and plenty of sun loungers. To the sea 15 minutes walk, the bus runs every 30 minutes on schedule. The beach is located on the territory of the 5 star hotel Dana Beach, the service is excellent: free lunch and drinks at the bar on the seashore, many sunbeds, stylish umbrellas and barriers against the wind. The air temperature is 20-25 degrees during the day, 14-18 at night, after 5 o'clock the sun begins to set and it becomes noticeably cool. The water temperature in the sea is 18-20 degrees - quite cool, especially if a strong wind blows, few people swim.
Among the free entertainment at the hotel several times played volleyball, football, 30 minutes a day of tennis and mini golf, riding horses, donkey and camel. In the afternoon, at about 10 o'clock, near the main pool, the animator gathers children and occupies them with games for 1.5-2 hours. In the evening we went to the show "1000 and 1 night" several times, which takes place at the hotel, we liked the story about Ancient Egypt, the performance of acrobats, the dance of men in skirts and oriental belly dance. Several times we rode boats and catamarans on the artificial lake-river of the Dana Beach Hotel. There is a small disco on the territory until 12 am, next to it there is a paid spring disco in the Havana Club.
Liked the fabulous style of the hotel. Among vacationers, Russian speakers make up 40 percent (among them 30 percent are families with children, 60 are young people, 10 are pensioners, and 60 percent are Germans.
I didn’t like the fact that in the evenings it specifically stank from the garbage dump (apparently they burn it there).
