Эль Палацио или Пальма - какой выбрать? El Palacio or Palma - which one to choose?

Upon arrival in Hurghada, I felt a strong wind, but I hoped that it would not be near the hotel. The hope was not justified. Actually, the weather is everything. Sun, light - everything was different. not like last year when everything was great. The voucher was in the top three of Miriette, but due to the small number of tourists they settled in the Palacio. Only the building with rooms on the sea was under repair, and no one was settled there. I want to write so that no one repeats my mistake. The hotel has a beautiful reef, but I didn’t know where it was on the first day and went swimming towards Palma. The waves were big with white breakers. To find the reef you need to get out of the lagoon and go straight ahead of the pier, you will come to a cape where there is a ladder. The coral reef here is wonderful, I have never seen anything like it at the hotel. The most beautiful thing is probably the flocks of blue needle fish - they swim on the surface, near the shore, there are also flocks of cesium and fish that swim with their mouths open. Beautiful corals, parrot fish, flute fish, lionfish, butterflies, angel and more that I don't know. Maybe I can find it on the Internet. There are those with marble heads, green with pink orange stripes, similar to lizards. Maybe someone knows? Compared to Palma, there is no such thing. The sea is great here. There are fans of the hotel who have been coming for 6 times already, they don't want to take risks. I, too, after Palma decided only in this complex. The contingent of tourists is mainly Baltic, Ukrainians, Egyptians. The hotel was built simply with the letter P, which is a minus. Palma is much more intricate, interesting and cozy. These hotels are located perpendicular to each other. I drew a map. If anyone is interested, I'll send it. On the third day at 5 am I woke up from a heavy wind in the balcony. Fortunately, there is a peninsula at the exit from the lagoon. Surprisingly, the wind was much quieter there. It saved me, I rested until 5 o'clock. In general, in such weather, what was settled in the Palacio is just fine, otherwise in Palma it would simply have been blown away. Such impulses that it was possible to fly head over heels from the stairs. The water rose and carried from the lagoon. But with all this (I was still sick with sinusitis), I really liked the rest. Of course, the crisis was felt. Many Egyptians were discouraged. Everything is great with food. Once they gave crabs, but in general everything was enough. The staff tries, then restaurants change, evening shows. Upon arrival, I was tired, not happy. One waiter, he constantly smiled, Mukhamed, came up, asked how to help, went to the lobby and brought a glass of wine. Of course, there are few people and the hotel, as it seemed to me, is still in economy mode. I also want to tell you about how I tried to leave the hotel at one in the morning to go to the pharmacy. At the exit, the security officer said that the pharmacy was no longer working and turned to the reception. There they gave me a phone, I called and ordered medicine through the manager at the reception. After 15 min. a guy brought it to me for show-off money, also with delivery. I paid $2 for a pack of medicines. It would cost us 4 times more expensive, I later found out. By the way, I want to say that a good dive center operates on the territory. I dived near the shore. The equipment is in order, the instructor is not bad, sensible. I didn’t see anything new except for a small moray eel living in a jug, but the main thing is the experience and not like the last time from the yacht. When the equipment was worn out, the suit did not fit, and the air did not stretch well. Of course it was stupid to dive. I felt bad in the evening. The instructors are weird too. . . At the hotel, the guy dived from the yacht from the tour operator - also crap, and he himself did not understand, I just know that this is unacceptable. Yes, I want to add a fly in the ointment. It is very bad that the workers, the Egyptians do not care about the environment, the sea. There is a lot of plastic in the water, no one cleans it, I got what I could. When I was scuba diving, I saw corals literally wrapped in mesh or polyethylene. It's horrible. Closer to departure, the weather began to improve. Until recently, she dived on the cape.
