Мой отдых в Египте My holidays in Egypt

We rested with my husband in Hurghada at the Sea Star Beau Rivage 5 * hotel from May 5 to May 16.2009. I liked it very much. It was this hotel that was recommended to me by the manager of the Last-minute Travel Store "Mys" (Minsk) Zhigalo Olga (Minsk, Pritytskogo St. , 34), who also professionally sent us on vacation to Turkey last year. The host party - the TEZ Tour company met us at the airport and promptly delivered to the hotel. Despite the fact that it was already 21.00 we were warmly welcomed at the reception and quickly issued a settlement. Without any "baksheesh" they gave a magnificent room on the first floor with a lovely terrace and access to the pool (No. 166). They fed dinner. Those. the first impression was very pleasant, and so it remained until the end of the stay at the hotel.
I liked the guide at the hotel from TEZ Tour named Ayman - a very nice person. He was always ready to help, and just a pleasure to talk to him.
The hotel is not huge, but not small either. It is kind of cozy, well-groomed and green. The beach is clean, the guys from the hotel staff cleaned it constantly. Of course, it was not without fuel oil, we plunged into it several times into the sea, barely scrubbed my back. Slippers for the sea are generally all in fuel oil, but this, apparently, is from a pleasure boat, which was based on the pier. The room was cleaned daily to a shine, all towels were changed (and there are three of them per person), bedding.

We ate on the All Inclusive system and we must pay tribute that the menu is excellent. Every day for lunch and dinner a variety of meat and chicken and fish. And everything is delicious, like homemade food. And what kind of pastries and all sorts of desserts - you will lick your fingers - and, most importantly, not cloyingly sweet. You can eat all day, if not in the main restaurant, then in the bars. In short, from our observations, many people became "California worms" and did nothing but trample. And when it’s not tasty, then you won’t eat like that. So the kitchen at the hotel is just class - for every taste and every stomach. And how many fruits! By the way, I heard on an excursion from one woman who was relaxing in a four-star hotel that they had no fruit at all. And in Sea Star there are dates, and melons, and bananas, and watermelons, and oranges, and guava, and fruit desserts with strawberries and figs. Drinking in Egypt is not very good, but you can drink rum-cola with pleasure.
The animators at the hotel are nice guys, they tried to stir up the audience all the time. During the day, they held water aerobics, and Pilates, and all sorts of sports games, and taught Latin dances, etc. , and in the evening they put on interesting shows. Of course, all this was repeated weekly, but this is the case in any hotel in Egypt and Turkey. After 23.00 you can go to a disco in the disco bar "Metro", which is located on the first floor of the hotel. During the day you can try your hand at windsurfing, but for a fee. There are water bikes.
Russian in the hotel is not very much, mostly French, Italians, Germans. Age range, few children. The hotel itself is located in a residential area, but on the outskirts of Hurghada. Nearby there are about 10 shops.
But I advise everyone to buy hookahs, papyri, perfumes, medicinal oils, figurines and other souvenirs in the Uncle Fedya souvenir shop, which is located in the New City (I myself read about this shop on the Internet). By taxi from the hotel for 20 pounds (1 pound - 5.6 dollars) you get to the Star Fish fish restaurant, walk 30 meters ahead past the fruit shops, to the pharmacy - and right in front of the pharmacy across the road there is a street, there are several shops and on Last you will see a sign in Russian "Souvenir shop at Uncle Fedya". The owner of this store is Fathi, his wife is Ukrainian Irina, Fathi's younger brother Ali is very cool people. Fathi (Uncle Fedya) always makes big discounts, and if you need something that he does not have in the store, he will definitely help you find what you need. By the way, his oils are not diluted and everything else is of high quality. From him and with his help we acquired everything we planned.
Bottom line - the Sea Star Beau Rivage 5 * hotel is an excellent hotel for a relaxing holiday. We wish everyone a pleasant stay at Sea Star Beau Rivage 5*!!!! !
