Rested from 13.09. 2012 to 21.09. 2012 from Sunny Days El Palacio Resort 5 * (Hotel Sunny Days El Palacio 5 *), the hotel is just super.
Upon arrival in Hurghada, a visa really costs $ 15, as it is written on it, if you don’t want to overpay, you have to pay from the left in the bank, if you contact the Tez tour company itself, Omar, etc. at the counter, they have it costs $ 17, they justify that they say there is a queue, there is none here. Although it seemed to me it was a turn.
As we were told at the tour agency, we paid $ 10 at the reception (invested in the passport itself), it turned out to be not in vain.
***Why pay extra:
1. We had a large triple comfortable, soft, comfortable bed, and who didn’t pay for a room with two single beds, and a bedside table between them (you can’t connect), this was told to us by a couple of newlyweds who decided to save money and had to sleep in different beds, albeit in the same room. Although it may have its own romance to visit each other.
2.

It is better to pay extra and stay away from the kitchen / restaurant and stage / animation building (these are approximately numbers from 5001 to 7099)
Tomorrow starts at 6:30, on the street it is always that the thread is cooked, fried, boiled, grilled, and, as you know, the smell goes all over the lagoon. And the rooms upstairs.
And the music, on the first day when we arrived they had dancing until 3 am, was really a little annoying. We had room 2118, it's on the right side of the lagoon. The windows overlooked the lagoon. 2nd floor. Near the bar, sun loungers. And a 5-7 minute walk to the restaurant (which I think is very useful before and after eating) Building 4 from the restaurant, building 6 from the stage.
*** Food and bars:
1. Water in the room upon arrival is given 2 bottles, during the entire arrival, they no longer change them, but indeed there are coolers with water in the halls. You can always come up and pour. Yes, you can in the restaurant.
2.
The food has always been varied, you will never be hungry, meat, fish, chicken, crabs have always been there, during the week of arrival there we got stewed liver twice, which sincerely surprised us tasty and healthy.
3. Local drinks are included, in the first days it seems that it is not real to drink, but you get used to it in the evening. Beer is drunk as compote, rum cola, whiskey cola, etc. We liked it very much. Only it is better not to abuse alcohol much and please always read the rules of staying at the hotel. We saw the result of abuse, when the wife cried at the reception so that they would not be evicted from the hotel with her husband, in connection with his violent / offensive behavior, not only towards the staff, but also towards tourists of different nationalities.
4.
All inclusive includes buffet all day, and local alcohol, you are also given the opportunity to visit two restaurants - seafood and a pizzeria with a 50% discount, we went to the fish one, it cost $ 60 for two, and we paid $ 30 . We really enjoyed. They are both found on the hotel grounds.

5. Bars around the lagoon are open from 11 am to 6 pm, inside the restaurant at tomorrow, lunch, dinner. On the street to the left of the entrance, the bar is open all day.
6. Near the reception Lobio bar is open from 10 am to 00 pm. A very strange thing, they tried drinks on the street one taste, and tried another in the lobby bar. I really liked the Lobio bar because they offer a choice of 15 cocktails, 5 of which are non-alcoholic. They are delicious, colorful, interesting)
***Territory
1. The hotel area is very large, for 9 days of staying there, we never left the hotel area. We enjoyed spending time at sea.
I would especially like to emphasize that the hotel has 2 entertainment rooms for children, and animators work with them all the time until dinner, and there is a wooden playground.
2. All entertainment diving, excursions, trips to paradise islands, all this can be bought on site, and at the end of the lagoon they have boats and yachts, so it is not necessary to crawl out into the city. There are also shops with everything you need. Fins, masks, flip flops, swimwear, etc. are all available, prices are average. We bought a mask, snorkel and 2 boots to walk on the reefs for $20. In the city you can buy this and 15.
*** SEA
1. As I wrote earlier, the territory of the hotel is very large, the inner part is surrounded by a lagoon, there is an entrance from the sand, along the edges of the entrance from the iron ladders. We went to the reefs to swim and snorkel. I tried it for the first time and realized that it's just super. If there are a lot of places where there are a lot of fish, and very beautiful reefs, rocks. The last 4 days we were always there.
2.
It is better to buy boots for reef, because there are a lot of poisonous hedgehogs inside the stones. Yes, and walking along the bottom in them is many times more pleasant. Because the reefs are very sharp and my boyfriend scratched his finger very badly. Lived for a very long time.
3. Be sure to take protective equipment, even if you lie all day in the shade, you still get burned, we needed +35 protective equipment, and still smeared with burn cream in the evenings.
*** ENTERTAINMENT

1. Half a day of animation is carried out with children, then exercises, warm-ups, etc. , in the evening there is animation for adults, we were at oriental dances, then there were competitions, fun and interesting.
2. If you go outside the territory of the building from the left, there is a passage, a camel sits there all the time, they ride on it, and you can take pictures. I don't know the price.
3. There is on the second floor above the reception, Internet + WI FI is paid, Russian billiards $8 an hour, and pool $6 an hour.
4. Opposite the camel is a table for playing small tennis.
I was glad to write a good, detailed review, so that you understand whether you go there or not.
I will definitely return next year to this hotel.
