The ticket was chosen by the daughter, the price - (burning_) - 615 dollars for two! 7 nights HB.
My daughter (20 years old) and I came to Egypt, Hurghada, for the first time. It all started badly, with queues at the airport and offers to buy a visa without a queue for $17. We did not fall for this bait, because anyway the bus is waiting for all the tourists. But while they passed passport control, they came for a suitcase - it was the last one lying around, only in the room they saw that the suitcase was opened and there was no golden ring! WE RECOMMEND : pack your suitcase and check the locks on the spot when you receive your luggage ! Another little nuisance was during the settlement. Although the TezTour guide explained that it was not necessary to give any money when checking in, a performance was played in front of us anyway. WE RECOMMEND: leave your things at the reception and only then go look at the rooms, because if you arrive for the first time, a circus will be arranged with offers of dirty rooms overlooking the street or semi-basements. The number was chosen by the daughter and when she was taken to all the "evil" places, she threw such a tantrum at the reception that the Arabs even without an additional fee gave us a good room near the sea (B2), they were frightened by hysteria and dragging our heavy suitcase around the hotel, which out of pity, I gave a toothless, unfortunate Arab 50 pounds. This is where our misadventures ended. And a wonderful holiday began. The room was cleaned daily: plump Mahmed spun swans for us - thanks for smiling =). Excursion on a boat with a glass bottom from the pier can be bargained for 10 dollars for two!
Be sure to take your mask with you.

you can get a massage, the guys do it with dignity, they try, bargain! 10 dollars for half an hour.
There was a HB buffet. liked the food! Very tasty pastries, cakes, monotonous breakfasts. But dinners are superior! You won't be hungry. We were worried that we would not get better, but since we zeroed a lot after dinner, led an active lifestyle, then the weight remained normal. They are not allowed to take food to the room, but if you carefully grab a couple of cakes in a napkin, it is always possible; )) The waiters serve well.
The area is constantly being cleaned. There is no animation. There are discos. You will not swim in the pool - it is not heated. more pleasant to swim in the sea.
But near the city, you can have a wonderful time bargaining with sellers. divide their starting price by 3 and start haggling ; ))))))
There are Arabs in the hotel, and it was annoying, they were making a lot of noise)))) And in general, I was delighted with the rest, but my daughter was not very, she was bored.
the sea is good, the advantage of the hotel: in a good location with the sea. If you want a complete, inexpensive vacation and if you are not very picky, feel free to go, you will like it. I would love to go there again.
There is no hair dryer in the room, there is an iron at the reception, air conditioning and a TV! Water - cold and hot without problems. Liquid soap is available, take the rest of the hygiene products with you!
towels are given enough, DO NOT take with you =)
