Three cheerful friends with three children went on vacation. The hotel was chosen by the presence of water slides in the pool - they really are there, there is something to do with children, but everything is in order:
1. We flew with the Tatarstan airline from Rostov-on-Don, in general, the flight was delayed for 8 hours... According to Egyptian time, we were registered at the reception desk at 23:54 (another seven minutes - and they would have demanded a refund for the unused day of the trip from The transfer from the airport to the hotel did not cause any complaints, quickly and accurately.
2. The check-in went well too, the staff communicates both in Russian and in English. 5 dollars in passports, and we were settled three rooms apart, which is a good plus for a huge hotel.

3. Breakfast-lunch-dinner and other meals: average. The choice of salads was large, but almost all monotonous: cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, cheese. There were pastries, but we did not eat, and the children praised. Of the hot dishes, mashed soups were a pleasure, for lunch and dinner. They gave crabs (hard and not tasty, but again, for an amateur), boiled quail, beef, breaded fish. There was something to gnaw on, in general)) For dinner, fish, roast beef and pancakes were fried on the street. This is what we enjoyed eating.
4. The rooms are so-so. The furniture is old, the plumbing is faulty: the toilet was flushed very badly (I apologize for the details). There were enough towels, daily cleaning with figurines on the bed: a dollar for tea daily, in the minibar there is always a liter of water-sprite-fantas and two bottles of plain water. Once a dollar was not put in - they did not put a new hair conditioner, did not change the ashtray and did not put disposable napkins. Just asked, immediately brought, smiling.
5. Bar. The bar has a good draft beer in glass glasses (it would be better in disposable glasses, but this is individual), vodka, rum (but we didn’t drink it). A friend asked for a martini - they said to pay. It works around the clock, there are both artificial juices (yupi or zuko) and packaged ones. The selection of tea is great. Coffee, snacks in the form of a bun with cheese for the hungry - also always.
6. Territory of the hotel: large and beautiful. Lots of flowers, pools. The only thing that scared me once was a man with a machine that was blowing caustic smoke on the bushes right next to the rooms - all the vacationers fled. As it turned out, they were poisoning insects. There are really a lot of them, I advise you to take Fumitoks and not open the balcony at night.

7. Sea and beach. This is the main disadvantage of the hotel - the sea near the coast was absent as a phenomenon. At low tide it was simply not there, 500 meters to the horizon, at high tide at the same distance, maximum knee-deep, get ready to go to the beach pier for the beauties of the sea. There really is something to see, there is a coral reef nearby, take Max and the tube. A small car carries about 10 people to the pier, but we walked. Chaise lounges on the beach are wooden, old, with wadded (!!! ) mattresses. Over time, these mattresses become unusable from a heap of bodies reclining on them and from the moisture they begin to smell rotten. Naturally, towels are needed on top, which are changed on demand.
The hotel is mostly Germans, Poles. The staff - young Egyptians and we for them, three blondes, were like rags for bulls - harassed by conversations, inquiries, both in the water park and in the bar in the evening (and especially here). But when my daughter planted a splinter in the heel and I went to the shops on the territory of the hotel to buy a needle - the seller gave it for free, and also ran to the bar for vodka to process it. The people are generally friendly.
There were no poisonings, you can buy tanning products in stores, the prices are in dollars, but they are equal to Russian ones. Souvenirs are a little more expensive than in duty free, do not type, buy anything at the Hurghada airport.
In general, I liked it, but I won’t go again, I need to explore new places. Have a nice holiday everyone!
