Let's start in order, last year we flew to Marsa Alam (direct flight), the year before last we were in Sharm, this year we decided to fly to Hurghada. We flew with a company of 3 people (2 + 1) a child of 5 years old, and two girlfriends of 40 and 50 years old. We bought a ticket from Anex Tour, the flight was Transaero from Moscow:
1) departure without delay, Boeing plane, the middle row was almost empty, so you could sleep lounging on 4 chairs : ) Anex representatives are everywhere at the airport, so they found the bus quickly, although two madams managed to get lost, they waited 20 minutes, so that they were late for dinner at the hotel.
2) they settled quickly, the rooms are standard, in my opinion they are even small in size, but this is a German hotel (it’s also a 4, but we knew where we were going), the rooms are cleaned, the furniture is 4, there are minor flaws, we thought that There will be no Russians in a German hotel, but where there, there were more of ours than Germans : )

The territory of the hotel is well-groomed and green, although the sun loungers by the pool are a bit small, but you can walk to the beach on the sea (10 minutes at a slow pace) or take an electric car, it's cool. There is a bar on the sea, which has snacks from potatoes to fruits and, accordingly, drinks and ice cream. Animation is, water gymnastics, volleyball.
the pool also animation is charging, then darts, you can play golf, there is a mini golf course, interesting.
food, as elsewhere, vegetables, fish, meat, fruits, etc. fed well.
In the hotel, almost everyone speaks Russian and not bad, I really liked the administrator Adele, he asked everything to the smallest detail, what and how everything was fine, he asked what they need to change in order to improve the service, he came up every day - nice.
Wonderful children's animation, my child was simply delighted with Katya, many thanks to her, this is a hell of a job - all day to deal with children.
Well, I won’t write more about the hotel, if anyone has specific questions, then write.
3) I’ll write about the sea: I was disappointed, there are practically no fish, you can say that there isn’t, when compared with Marsa Alam, only hedgehogs, I once swam with a mask and scored on this matter, so I flopped into the sea, well, it’s clean to swim, the excursion saved to the islands, but also only 2 hours, more on that later. So, if anyone goes to the Red Sea because of the fish, then there is no better resort than Marsa Alam.
4) about the guide of the Anex tour, it sucks (before that I flew the Tez tour and Mostrevel), so I would give the first place to Tez, and the second to Mostrevel, and Anex does not pull on the third.
I am generally silent about the education of the guide, it seems that you are furniture that came up to him to disturb his peace, last year Karim (Marsa Alam) was always for his tourists, even if we went too far, this one, with our calm behavior, kept talking, that if you do this, we will fine you, so we took only 2 excursions: 1) mini-coral islands, written from 10 to 16, we spent only 2 hours in the sea and that’s it, sailed not far from the coast, well, the fish were beautiful.

2) my husband bought a fishing trip, they postponed the excursions 2 times, but it didn’t grow together, they decided to change it to El Gouna, they say there is fishing there too, they even wrote a complaint about this excursion. We spent 2 hours in the port, couldn’t deal with the police, then the guide didn’t, on a walk along the canals of El Gouna, he got into one boat, the boats didn’t go evenly, so you couldn’t hear shit in the second, because of the reduction in time, fishing was 15 min. - nightmare.
5) departure, departure was postponed to a later time, but we were not sad, the hotel fed us lunch, and since my husband did not take off the bracelet, we drank beer before the evening, although we could have had dinner, but Anex decided to pick us up from the hotel 3 hours before departure, and from the hotel 10 minutes to the airport, and the flight at the airport was delayed for another 1 hour, but oh well, it happens.
True, they were surprised that alcohol was offered on board Wim Avia, but we had it with us.
If you have specific questions, please write.
