как мы отдыхали в новом отеле how we rested in a new hotel

We were at THE THREE CORNERS SUNNY BEACH RESORT 4+. It is located between El Gouna and Hurghada.
Location. The hotel is very beautiful, brand new, but the greenery has already grown. The cleaned area, and even the partially unfinished part, fenced with a fence, practically does not catch the eye. Swimming pools are a whole infrastructure. There are a lot of them, all over the territory, partially lit at night, heated in winter, murmuring, constantly cleaning, surrounded by palm trees and grass, as well as a huge number of sunbeds. 3 bars, 3 restaurants throughout the territory - very convenient. Nearby are 2 hotels under construction and... desert. There is really nowhere to go, but we went to Hurghada in the afternoon by taxi. Fortunately, they have enough of this stuff and the prices from the car to the Seagal hotel (for shopping) are $ 7-8, but you have to bargain. In Hurghada itself, it is necessary to bargain to the point of absurdity. And it is better to buy everything in stores where the price is fixed at once. You can't even get it cheaper.
Food. There was a lot of food, dishes can not be counted. There were 3-4 types of pasta alone, and there were 10 dressings for them. And they close up everything in front of you. And pancakes with any dressing, meat (beef, chicken), boiled pork, chops, fish, shrimp, squid, crabs, however, they add too many spices to many dishes so that they don’t eat a lot, I guess. Soups with mussels (although soups are not edible for us - I like mashed soups, and they made vegetable ones, moreover, pure water); there is a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ salads, but they do it in a peculiar way - they add everything that is, different seasonings, fruits - melons (though greenish), dates, oranges, peaches, nectarines, bananas (also green), apples, guava; there were no sweets at all, a variety of jellies and cakes with whipped cream, cakes and ice cream. I really liked their cottage cheese. Every day I took cottage cheese for breakfast (it is salty, but it tastes very peculiar), toast and coffee. And you can eat at any time. We were late for lunch once, and in one of the bars they offered french fries, sauces, buns, hamburgers, sweets, fruits for a snack. You won't die of hunger. Drinks - diluted powder, but pleasant in taste, all sorts of Pepsi, sprites, fantas... From alcohol - very good beer and rum, although 2 days after our arrival the latter disappeared and was not there for probably a week until they were delivered. The rest - vodka, brandy, wine - the usual, as everywhere else. They made us all sorts of cocktails. Very good sunny beach. But in all 3 bars they did it differently.

Number. We arrived at 9.30 am. We were brought cold drinks at the reception, and we felt like in paradise. They said that they would check us in at 12, but seeing a child of 5 years old and listening to my 10-minute tirade in Russian (I wanted to know in more detail when breakfast, where to go, what to do, and I don’t speak English well), they just gave me the keys to the room and let go with God (or Allah). We were given a room on the 3rd floor. There all the rooms are good, but on the 1st floor I would not want. You can go there with an open balcony from the street. All rooms with sea and pool views. The rooms are spacious - 24 meters. Great bathroom and very comfortable shower. Shower gel and soap, toilet paper were always there. Hairdryer, safe, TV, mini bar or refrigerator - all for free. They brought 3 bottles of drinking water every day to the room. Well, the rest is paid. At the reception, you could even sit on the Internet on your beech for free. But there are also disadvantages. Children's place (single bed) was located between the balcony and air conditioning. At night it was possible to suffocate, so the air conditioner was left at 27 degrees. And he was very noisy. During the night my head was buzzing. But without him it was impossible. Cleaned daily, but because. we didn’t leave a tip, we just smoothed out the linen, wiped the floor and that’s it. At the end, they collected coins to throw into the sea, left them on the table, we arrive - everything is removed and the coins too. Okay, we're not proud, but still it turned out cool. I don’t know if it seemed to me or it was true, but for 11 days we didn’t change the bed and towels either. Either they looked that they were clean, or for other reasons, but it happened.
Animation. Animation is great. Entertained from morning to evening. Volleyball, tennis (although the places are windy - it's hard to play), golf, oriental dancing, Latin American, aqua aerobics, gymnastics - everything your heart desires. And in the evening in the amphitheater performances prepared by the animators themselves. The amphitheater is very competently made, a moat was dug and steps and a stage were made in it. To keep warmer, warm woven blankets were brought out every evening. No wind - great.
Baby. Children's animation is worth a separate discussion. Firstly, from 10 to 17 there is a miniclub with a Russian animator. They take great care of the kids. In the evenings, a half-hour children's disco, which everyone watched. Playground, children's kitchen and a pool with lots of slides for different ages. There were 4 large slides, like in a water park (worked regularly). Ice cream is free from 16 to 17.
Beach. Free beach towels, mattresses that were brought as soon as we decided where we would lie, sunbeds, umbrellas and a fence on the beach itself on the sea (it was very convenient when it was windy). The beach is clean and cleaned daily. There is a pontoon, 2 cleared descents into the sea - for children and adults. Lots of fish and crabs. We saw a stingray, a moray eel, an octopus, an uncounted number of fish. Very beautiful and scary fauna and flora. There are almost no hedgehogs, so we didn’t buy slippers. But very small. 300 meters to the ankle. Although in Egypt in Hurghada so everywhere.

Staff. The staff is very respectful, but there are practically no Russian speakers. The language barrier was very felt, because there were a lot of Russian tourists (up to 50%), and besides the animator Sergey, 1 person spoke broken Russian. And of course foreigners were served much better (I would say SERVED). Drinks were brought to them, there was more respect for them (and not only we noticed this). And we had a clash with the staff, when vacationers everywhere took food with them, even on plates, and before leaving I wanted to take apples, put them in a bag, the administrator approached me and asked me to take out what was in the bag. I said these are apples for the baby. He spoke Russian badly, but what he said amazed me. You have to pay for them if you want to carry them. And despite my long arguments that everyone does this and takes out not only fruits, but also plates of hot, he was adamant, and he didn’t really try to understand. It was then that we felt like Russians (although in fact Belarusians), because the Europeans were taking everything out and bringing it directly to the terrace, and we, despite the fact that we paid all the same money, remained a different caste. I laid out the apples, the administrator wanted to take them away, but I said that in this case we would eat them here. The mood was spoiled, because in front of our eyes no one else was reprimanded. And I couldn't really explain. The next day, not without the help and support of the waiters, who were also outraged by this, I went up to the director, already with the English text selected in my head and said that if there are rules, then they are for everyone, and not selectively, and that on their part this is so petty, because in no other hotel, in any country in the world, a child (5 years old) feels sorry for anything, especially 5 apples, given that all children practically do not eat in the canteen, but want it before bed. He said that we should have approached him yesterday, he would of course have allowed us to take out everything that we needed in our hands. And to be honest, this really spoiled the general opinion about the rest. Although the hotel is cool and we still liked it, and perhaps this could happen in any hotel, but the overall impression was blurred, because everything is made up of little things.
We also advise you to buy trips for excursions in Hurghada itself, without paying a 100% deposit, but leaving 10-15 dollars, if you are afraid. Save up to 50% of the payment, and get 2 times better service. We went to Utopia Island. For three people from the hotel, we would have got 110, so it turned out 65 dollars. They came for us, took us and brought us. Almost new yacht, fed very well, buffet, watermelon, drinks all day when 1 drink was included from the hotel. And when you fill out a sheet upon arrival, where you put the coordinates of the departure and the excursions that you order, read this carefully. Where you sign, it is written in small print that you agree that if you choose other travel agencies, liability and medical insurance will not work. So it will be. Because insurance begins to operate at night at 12.00 even while still in Moscow. And even more so in Egypt, no matter where you are, in the sea, on the mountain or in the desert. We didn't sign up. Although even your signature can be challenged in court by current laws, this is redundant red tape. Although God forbid that she, this same insurance, is not needed.
We recommend it to all couples with children. A very relaxing holiday by the sea with good animation, spacious rooms, beautiful grounds and varied food. Have a nice holiday.
