I chose a hotel for a long time, did not want to go to the one where I was last year, and as a result I made a mistake. No, the rest was not spoiled, but not quite what I expected. In a nutshell, I won't be coming back! The hotel is not bad, but:
1. Arrival - they waited for check-in for about 3 hours, no one offered to go to the hotel territory - sit in the lobby and wait (they didn’t wear bracelets, they didn’t even offer breakfast to a family with a child), maybe they were waiting for bucks? - with such an attitude "figs you", as a result, a call to friends and breakfast in a cafe, arrived exactly at the time of settlement;
2. There are no complaints about the room, it is large and spacious. One question - what is the purpose of a bathtub in the bathroom if it is not usable. Cleaning in the room is so-so - the bed was made, the ashtray was changed, that's all.

3. Meals - I, not a picky person, you could always choose something - I was not hungry, but this is not a 5 * hotel menu. Breakfast: pancakes and omelettes that are fried in front of you, cheese and soy sausage. Lunch: two types of rice, pasta, potatoes, chicken and fish, a couple of salads (that's right), sweets, fruits - dates, melon slices and orange slices. Dinner: the same as for lunch, plus baked vegetables. Tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks. Once I took white wine, I did not conduct any more experiments - the next day I suffered from heartburn. The bars are nothing special, a standard set, I really liked the cold hibiscus.
4. The sea, for which I was traveling - but it’s not in the hotel, but I didn’t want to go into the sea that I didn’t want to go into, all the time something swam, heaps of garbage, plus it’s shallow and warm like fresh milk in the afternoon. Although there are two pools, a place could only be taken until 8:00, then everything is busy - this is understandable with such a sea. In addition, they are not large, and if a game is held, then others cannot swim calmly. The result - a taxi and a city beach, sunbeds, although worse than in a hotel, but the sea is so clean that words cannot convey.
5. Entertainment - so-so. Live music every day, animation and shows on the beach - paid! 15 euros or 20 bucks. (Everything would be fine, but with the cost of the tour 1.115 US dollars per person, this is not at all serious).
6. And the biggest negative for me is (you have no idea) how far the hotel is from the center of Hurghada. Well, I can’t sit all the time in the hotel, I like to go shopping after dinner to see gifts for friends and family. There are 4 shops near the hotel and that's it, there is nothing else around except for two unfinished construction sites.
My flight was at 19:20 - we were picked up from the hotel at about 17:00, for five hours of waiting for the transfer, I thought that I would go crazy.
The result - the rest was a success only thanks to friends! Next time I will go to another hotel.
