In Egypt for the fifth time, however, after a long seven-year break. We were traveling with a three-year-old child, so choosing a hotel was a rather complicated and lengthy process. We ended up at Titanic Beach. Looking at the weather forecast, they did not count on the sea bathing of the child, so they chose a hotel with a children's heated pool. This was the first experience of such an online purchase. It was a little dumb, after all, we got used to buying from a "living person" in a travel agency. But all fears were in vain. The money on the card was frozen, the hotel was confirmed in an hour, and the documents were ready immediately. Printed out and everything. Conveniently.
The day of departure has come. A night flight, of course, saves a day of rest, but it also exhausts decently. We flew "Windrose" - departure on time, flew perfectly. At Hurghada airport, everything is fast and without delay, apparently, it was lucky that our plane was the only one at that time and there were no queues. A local SIM card "Orange" was bought on the spot for $ 9 with a promise of 20GB of 4G Internet. But in fact, as we managed to understand from the messages in Arabic that came from the operator (Glory to Google Translator! ), It was 10GB. But even this was enough for 8 days. Moreover, the quality of Egyptian 4G is incomparably higher than that of Kiev.
Transfer to the hotel 20 minutes. And here we are at 8 am. We were preparing for the worst - to wander hungry around the territory until 14.00 in anticipation of settling. But in reality, everything turned out differently - at the reception, the administrator puts on bracelets and sends us to breakfast, after which they immediately issued a key card and cards for towels. I got room 3351 - in the farthest building from the reception, but the closest to the sea and the water park. The condition of the room is 3+, not yet killed, but already noticeably aged. We throw things to the children's pool. And the water in it is +27, already hot! After the Kiev winter, that's it! Getting the child out of the pool turned out to be not an easy task - it is understandable - a chic pirate ship with many slides and warm water. Looking ahead, I’ll say that in addition to the children’s pool, there are two more heated pools for adults, in addition, you can use the entire infrastructure of the neighboring Titanic Palace, and there is also a heated pool there.
I liked the territory of the hotel, everything is trimmed, everything is blooming, there is not much greenery, but it is all in perfect condition, the workers take care of it all the time. Everywhere is clean, the only thing that I didn’t like was that the pontoon is being repaired, old fences are being cut off, new ones are being boiled and painted, so it’s noisy there. And a couple of days there was a small repair in our building, noisy, though not for long.
The weather in December pleased me - the first couple of days there was a strong wind, it was very uncomfortable to get out of the water. But in the following days it was not so windy, and in the last two days of rest it was completely calm, that's when it felt like the sun was baking like in our summer. During windless days, we managed to swim in the sea, it turned out that the water was warm enough at a depth, but cold near the shore. In the evening, although it is not hot, but there is no cold wind either.
Nutrition. Even before leaving, I read from previous reviews that there is no need to expect much variety. Indeed, when compared with past trips to the top five, the assortment is scarce. But you definitely won't leave hungry. We were at dinner at the a la carte restaurant "The Grill", you need to sign up for a guest relation in advance. I liked the idea - a small grill is mounted in the center of each table, they bring raw chopped beef, chicken, fish, squid, vegetables and cook it yourself.
The attitude of the staff is friendly and unobtrusive, however, the cleaning is purely symbolic, apparently, no one taught the cleaners to wipe the dust. We didn't go to meet the hotel guide, we only saw him in the photo on the info board. If there are any problems, then either the duty administrator at the reception or the guest relation workers will promptly help to solve them.
In general, despite minor shortcomings, I liked the hotel, and the vacation flew by like one day.
