Just returned from this hotel, rested 12 days, family with 2 children. This was our second trip to Egypt and Hurghada. We are disappointed with the hotel, because there is something to compare with. The hotel is new, but there are many but. . . The maximum draws on 4-. We lived in the 4th building on the 3rd floor, when we checked in, they put $ 10 in the passport, maybe that's why we were more or less lucky with the number. The view from the room was on the end of a large pool, a bar and an amphitheater. When the balcony is closed, the music is barely audible, did not interfere. The sun illuminated the building in the first half of the day, hours until 12 noon, which was undoubtedly also a plus, since the opposite buildings were heated until the evening. The air conditioner worked constantly, otherwise it became hot in the room for half an hour, they didn’t turn it off even at night, but it worked very noisily... There is no bathtub and a tray in the bathroom, a shower is attached to the wall and there is a drain hole in the floor. Near the sink and shower containers with liquid soap and Dove shower gel, a standard hair dryer.
Shelf with towels is located above the toilet. The room for 4 people is clearly small, but even for a surcharge they did not give a family room. For a small child, a laundry box was used as an extra bed, which rolled out from under a single bed, the height of such a bed is a maximum of 20 cm from the floor. In general, the beds were in a row, a small approach was only to the closet and to the single bed. The mattresses on the beds were made of foam and strongly sagging, you sleep like in a hammock, in the morning your back began to hurt. The furniture is so-so, dark in color, covered with some kind of varnish that gets dirty. There is a safe, a refrigerator with a paid minibar, only drinking water is free, a bottle of 0.5 liters per person. Room cleaning every day. We were cleaned only 4 times in the morning, because after dinner we always slept and refused cleaning. For cleaning left 1 dollar.
The territory of the hotel is modest without frills, actively landscaped, but there is no shade,

only under umbrellas or at the bar. Pools are often cold, they save on heating. Even in the large pool, the network has a problem with the cleaning system, it is constantly clogged, as a result, the children's club is flooded ankle-deep and in the evenings the area around the pool, because water gushing from the shower drain, which is located next to the children's club and the tent where towels are given out . Dirt gets into the pool, in the morning they catch it all... During our vacation, the large pool stood with muddy green water for 3 days, no one swam in it. I liked only the children's pool with slides and the river flowing into the pool with large slides. There are 3 large slides in the water park, but you can only ride on a mat there, because there is a problem with the joints, you can get scratched. There are few rugs, not enough for everyone... Sunbeds by the pool need to be taken until 9 am, then nothing will get. Do not leave hotel towels on sunbeds, they steal,
they stole from us... The sea disappointed... at high tide it brings a lot of garbage. At low tide, 200 meters, you can go from the shore, the water reaches a maximum of up to the knee. Strong winds often blow in this place, so there are wind farms on the opposite side of the hotel. During the 12 days of our vacation, there were only 4 windless days. For 2 days the wind was so strong that even the mattresses were blown off the sun loungers, respectively, they didn’t swim at all, even in the pool. Because of the wind, you can’t swim at sea either. The corals are very poor, mostly dead near the pier, small fish can be seen. If you want to see something, you need to swim 20 meters along the coast from the descent from the pier. There is a house on the pier, by the end of our vacation it was opened and adapted for a locker room, they finally thought of it... I liked the animation only for children, the child enjoyed attending the Trixie kids club, Ukrainian Lyudmila, a very pleasant woman, worked with them there,
crafts were constantly being made. The rest of the animation is sluggish and unobtrusive. There is a belly dance, morning exercises, water aerobics, boccia, darts. It starts from 10:00 to 13:00, then from 15:00 to 17:00 it all ends. The music is not loud, European and Arabic, sometimes Russian. I didn’t like the evening shows, mostly dances of the animators, the Miss Hotel show and the best couple of the hotel with the audience stripping down to their underpants, many had fun... I liked the Egyptian night, the girl danced a belly dance and a man danced with skirts. The contingent of vacationers is mainly Poles 50%, Russians 30-40%, the rest are French, Scandinavians, Belgians. The service staff treats foreigners much better and the table in the restaurant will be served faster and the bar will be served in the first place. Excursions were booked on the beach at Ruby and Mido, went on a yacht to 4 islands and on a boat with a glass bottom. It cost $200. I didn’t like it on the boat, the corals are poor,
taken to the reef near the Hilton hotel. But on the yacht it was very cool, the sea is clear and blue, we looked at all kinds of fish, saw moray eels, were on Paradise Island with white sand and clear water. Fed tasty, water without restrictions, watermelon. The tour operator has an excursion to 1 island for $ 50 per adult, lunch and 1 drink. They also did a massage, the tent is on the same beach to the right of the pool with slides. For 7 sessions they paid 150 dollars, bargain. I liked the massage very much, kneaded every joint, did a peeling, a massage for the child for free. The food at the hotel is generally ok, breakfasts are always the same - there is a queue for scrambled eggs and pancakes. For lunch and dinner there is a choice, there are always 2 types of meat or meat and fish. Once there were small crabs, not tasty. Squids with vegetables, puff pastry rolls with fish and vegetables, duck with liver, chicken meat - delicious. Meat and rolls are cut into pieces in front of you and put 1-2 pieces on a plate. Don't stay hungry
