Good day to all! just returned from Hurghada, from the hotel "Princess Palace" 3 * - had a rest from May 14-21.2010. You can only go to this hotel with a real last-minute voucher - for half board for 2, we paid 15.000 rubles for 7 nights, including the fuel surcharge. Never for big money! Those who go should know the following: the hotel is exclusively for Russian tourists, which means that the service can hardly be called a service. Now about the big pluses:
1. large sandy beach with excellent access to the sea! For those who would like to save money on a sea excursion, such as seeing everything in the nearest water area, it will not be possible, the sea is without corals and other creatures. (For me this is a plus! ), There are a lot of ships, but not dirty, they do not interfere. Great place for swimming!! Free! Clear sea! Special. shoes are not needed to enter the sea! They came to our beach from neighboring hotels: Khor Palace and El Samaka (I did not like their beaches and the sea area). Great for kids too.
2. A large area, green, but from the rooms to the beach about 200 m of walking. Walking under the hot sun is not very pleasant, but without options. In May-June, the beach day is long, so you get tired of the sun. But in the evening it’s fun to walk to the sea, sit on the beach, breathe. This is a plus for me. And also good food for dinner - for 7 days 4 days there was fish, always chicken, minced meat on the grill, we were fed with melon and watermelons. Great!

And now about the cons: *** everything that tourists have written before me is the pure truth. I’ll add on my own: we had room 203 in the main 4-floor building overlooking the roofs of utility blocks with their rattling generators or fans, yes, but not the street side - but on the other side I don’t know which is better: street or yard like our number. Only a warm air conditioner worked in our room - so it was of no use . . it was terribly hot to sleep at night. And a mouse came to us from the ventilation grille in the bathroom. For 8 times in Hurghada, the first time I got so worthless. Tip: take a mosquito fumigator from home and settle in 2-storey houses, but away from the pool (there is a disco there). Our friend was in a house on the 2nd floor. in building D-let a smaller number, but better. Someone has normal air conditioners with regulation.
The first time I was in this hotel was in 2004, so for 6 years this hotel has become too dilapidated... And on the street of traders, feel free to send obscenities anywhere! Only then do they fall behind. Do not pay attention to their words! I went from the tour operator KORAL, the guide Ikrami, a good guy, honestly worked out his salary. We didn’t pay extra money for the room. They were already stunned in everything. I had to see a doctor, because Elena from Belarus works there, a very qualified doctor and a nice person Animators are freaks. . . I've never seen such a shame. . . You can relax there once! And take woolen things with you upon departure: it’s too cool on the planes, both there and back, they got cold air conditioners, as well as 3 hours under icy air conditioning in the airport. Hurghada is also cool . . now I’m lying at home with bronchitis... Take care of yourself and have a nice holiday everyone!
