отличный отдых great vacation

We rested with two children, we were afraid to go, because the Internet is replete with reports that the hotel is not completed, but we liked the price very much, so we took a chance and do not regret it at all.
the construction of the main building continues, but firstly, it is not visible and not heard (everything is neatly fenced off, and it is located on the edge of the territory), and secondly, Hurghada is being built, and if you have chosen an already completed hotel, then on the right or on the left (or even on both sides, there will almost certainly be another one under construction, so... there is no difference.
The territory of the hotel is huge, there is where to walk after dinner, but outside it - nothing. A free bus and taxi rides to Hurghada (quite cheap, because gasoline in Egypt currently costs about 10 rubles a liter). Yes, there is still not enough greenery, but there is no "desert", everything is well-groomed, beautiful flower beds, lawns, flowers, even some palm trees were blooming on our arrival.

The sea is standard for this area - three hundred meters to the ankle, so they swim from the pier. The corals are not so hot, but there are a lot of fish. At this time of the year the sea is already calm, it was possible to swim. There are also 3 swimming pools: one near the restaurant, they are practically only admired, the second is a standard rectangular "for adults", the third is for children (60cm) with slides, etc. a man-made river flows into the deeper part with "adult" slides.
Meals are provided in 2 restaurants: one main one and Italian is also open for lunch, but we didn’t like it there much - only pizza and pasta with different pasta, but basically there really is something to choose, for breakfast - scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit salads, cereals, toast, and something hot, for lunch and dinner - several types of meat, fish, chicken, squid, some other crabs (I don’t like seafood, so... ), very tasty and varied cooked potatoes, Italian pasta , rice, vegetables (fresh and stewed), in general, for every taste. And, of course, amazingly fresh buns and freshly baked bread, pies and cakes, fruits (we got oranges, bananas, apples, guafa, sliced ​ ​ melons and grapefruits). There is a lot of food, even 10 minutes before closing, the entire assortment will be available to you.
The rooms are new, bed(s), wardrobe, table, a couple of chairs and a stool, two bedside tables, a bench with a shelf for shoes, a narrow rack with drawers like a desk, two mirrors (plus one in the bathroom), TV. In the presence of a bar: free water half a liter per person per day, the rest for the pounds. So far free safe in the room. In general, while the hotel has not been completed a lot for free, for example, a safe, mini-golf, internet, water in the room . . but, I feel, when it works at full capacity, you will have to pay extra for everything. So on the day of our departure (April 11), the Internet - 2 computers are at the reception) abruptly became paid, and for wild 5 euros per hour.
Conclusion: hurry up, people, until the hotel is completed.
We also liked the service. In general, the hotel belongs to the Belgian company The Three Corners, so they drill the Arabs hoo. All smiling, pleasant, always ready to meet. They speak mainly in English, I had enough school course with them to talk about topics abstracted from the service, but if anything, they will always invite someone who understands at least a little Russian for you.

We liked the animation team in general. Ukrainian Lyuda looks after the children, they are not bored there: a club, a playground nearby, a children's pool with an ingeniously invented "bucket" attraction, toys, paints and other children's entertainments are full.
The animation is directed by the Norwegian-Ukrainian lady Sima - an amazing woman. From "our" still - Sergey, the Egyptians - Haya, Sam and Walid also understand Russian, and the Belgian girls - Dalfina and Annalisa can only communicate with you in English. What are they actually doing? In the morning - exercises, then - sports games (volleyball, darts, water polo, football, tennis, some other games alien to us, well, minigolf - without them you can take clubs, a ball - and train), at 11-30 - aqua aerobics, at 12-00 oriental dances. After lunch - dancing, the same games, in the evening - a children's disco, then a show: invited teams of oriental dances, a show with snakes, or dances of an animation team - I advise you not to miss this, cool costumes, interesting performances, and if Sima comes on stage - it's time to open your mouth, amazing plastic. I advise.
In general, we really liked it. If you really dig into the minuses, there are only three, and even then - you can survive: the lack of toothpicks, too loud (in my opinion) slamming the doors of the rooms (although the children slept without hind legs), and so far (we think that the hotel simply did not count on such an influx) there are not enough mattresses on the beach, but they will always provide you with them, it’s a very funny situation: you tell the beach employees that you need a mattress, they answer: “five minutes”, and went to look for where the people went and you can take a mattress. and indeed they will drag it to you, and when the "owner" returns and sees that the mattress is bye-bye, he calls the employee and says, they say, you need a mattress . . the situation repeats, and so on ad infinitum)))) but no inconvenience is does not cause, rather a smile.
If I forgot something - ask, I will answer. And have a good rest.
